Council requires human rights commission review for Title 18 ordinance changes
Summary
Council approved changes to the municipal code requiring that proposed changes to the human rights code (Title 18) be reviewed by the Human Rights Commission, the council said.
Council member Paul Dillon said the council approved ordinance changes requiring that any proposed amendments to the municipal human rights code (Title 18) be reviewed by the Human Rights Commission. Dillon said he supports the change and expects it will “lead to a very transparent and inclusive process” and welcomed the commission’s feedback.
The transcript does not include the amended ordinance text, the commission’s response, or vote tallies. The recorded remarks indicate the change will require the commission to review future human-rights-related ordinances before council action, but the transcript does not specify whether the commission’s review is advisory or binding.
The council did not record further public comment in the excerpt provided; the ordinance’s legal effect and next steps should be confirmed in the official ordinance file and meeting minutes.
