In a local unit where mayor approval is required to make an ordinance effective, bond ordinances must be approved or vetoed before they can be published after final adoption.

• A. True
• B. False; mayor approval is not required
• C. It must be approved by the Governor
• D. They can be published after final adoption without mayor action

Answer: (B)

Bond ordinances are debt-related actions that, once the governing body has final adopted them, do not need the mayor’s prior approval to be published. They are published after final adoption and become effective through that publication process, with any mayoral veto happening afterward as a separate step that could be overridden by the council. In short, mayor approval before publication is not required for bond ordinances, so the statement is not correct.
