§ 29. When Ordinances Take Effect; Approval or Disapproval by Mayor; Overriding Veto.
Except as otherwise provided therein, all ordinances adopted by the City Council of the City of Orlando shall take effect (1) upon passage, or (2) as provided by law, i.e., at 12:01 A.M. on the tenth (10th) day after the final passage of such ordinance by the City Council and approval thereof by the Mayor or passage by the City Council over the Mayor's disapproval.
In the event that the City Council determines to make an ordinance effective not upon passage but less than ten (10) days from the date of passage as hereinabove provided, then the City Council may state the early effective date in the body of the ordinance and may thereby fix an effective date less than ten (10) days after the date of passage as above provided.
Immediately after passage of an ordinance by the City Council, such ordinance shall be submitted to the Mayor for his approval or disapproval and this shall be done within twenty-four (24) hours after passage of the ordinance. If the Mayor disapproves the ordinance, he shall return the ordinance with the reasons for his disapproval stated in writing at the next regular meeting of the City Council, whereupon the City Council, by a five-sevenths vote of the entire membership thereof, may pass the ordinance, the Mayor's disapproval to the contrary notwithstanding.
