Title

An Ordinance to Repeal and Replace Section 9:62 of Chapter 108 (Disorderly Conduct) of Title IX (Police Regulations) of the Code of the City of Ann Arbor (ORD-22-01)

Memorandum

This ordinance will be reviewed for changes under the Criminal Ordinance Reform Project 2021-22. Proposed changes include:

                     Adding the already existing penalty to the chapter for better understanding

                     Altering pronouns to use gender neutral language

                     Omitting some ordinance provisions that are more appropriate to be handled under state law and in compliance with the Crime Victim’s Rights Act of 1985.

 

This ordinance, along with all other amended ordinances in the Reform Project are scheduled to go into effect on April 15th, 2022. This will afford time for the training of sworn and unsworn police department employees, the recalibration of our hand-held ticket devices, and coordination with our local court system in an efficient manner.
