Editor's Note: Pursuant to § 1-7B, the following sections and chapters were added, amended or revised: §§ 5-2C, 16-2, 26-10B, 37-2A, 41-10, 46-5, 53-1, 53-2, 53-5, 53-16B, 56-4, 86-6, 97-12, 97-13, 106-7, 106-14, 111-2A, C and D, 115-6D, 115-12B(3) and 115-15 and Chs. 119 and 128. A complete description of these changes is on file in the office of the Town Clerk.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to any of
the local laws, ordinances and resolutions known collectively as the "Code
of the Town of Bethlehem," or any new local laws, ordinances or resolutions,
when enacted or adopted in such form as to indicate the intention of the Town
Board to be a part thereof, shall be deemed to be incorporated into such Code
so that reference to the Code of the Town of Bethlehem shall be understood
and intended to include such additions, deletions, amendments or supplements.
Whenever such additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to the Code
of the Town of Bethlehem shall be enacted or adopted, they shall thereafter
be printed and, as provided hereunder, inserted in the loose-leaf book containing
said Code, as amendments and supplements thereto.
It shall be the duty of the Town Clerk to keep up-to-date the certified
copy of the book containing the Code of the Town of Bethlehem required to
be filed in the office of the Town Clerk for use by the public. All changes
in said Code and all local laws, ordinances and resolutions adopted by the
Town Board subsequent to the enactment of this local law in such form as to
indicate the intention of said Board to be a part of said Code shall, when
finally enacted or adopted, be included therein by temporary attachment of
copies of such changes or local laws, ordinances or resolutions until such
changes or local laws, ordinances or resolutions are printed as supplements
to said Code book, at which time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
Copies of the Code book containing the Code of the Town of Bethlehem
may be purchased from the Town Clerk upon the payment of a fee to be set by
resolution of the Town Board, which may also arrange by resolution for procedures
for the periodic supplementation thereof.
Any person who, without authorization from the Town Clerk, changes or
amends, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Code of the
Town of Bethlehem, or who alters or tampers with such Code in any manner whatsoever
which will cause the legislation of the Town of Bethlehem to be misrepresented
thereby, or who violates any other provision of this local law, shall be guilty
of an offense and shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine of
not more than $250 or imprisonment for a term of not more than 15 days, or
both.
Any person committing an offense against any chapter or article of this
Code for which a different penalty is not specifically provided shall be guilty
of a violation under the Penal Law and, upon conviction thereof, shall be
punishable for each offense by a fine of not more than $250 or by imprisonment
for not more than 15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Each day
that an offense continues shall constitute a separate violation.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article or part of this local law or of any local law or ordinance cited in the table in § 1-2 hereof, shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
This local law and the Code of the Town of Bethlehem adopted hereby
shall take effect immediately upon the filing with the Secretary of State
of the State of New York of a copy of this local law.
