A bond ordinance must be published with notice of its introduction and the date, time and place of a hearing and further consideration for final passage.

• A. False
• B. True only if there is a public hearing
• C. True but notice is optional
• D. True

Answer: (D)

Public notice for bond ordinances is required to ensure transparency and due process in municipal debt decisions. Under the Local Bond Law, a bond ordinance must be published with notice of its introduction and with the date, time, and place of the hearing and further consideration for final passage. This notice informs residents about the proposal and the steps toward adoption, including the hearing and the final vote. The rule applies in all cases; it is not dependent on whether a public hearing occurs or on any optionality. So the statement is true because the publication and notice are mandatory components of the process, not conditional.
