Council Legislation Resolutions

The Council enacts local public laws for the ‘peace, good government, health, and welfare of the county’. The resolution dataset contains resolutions from 2005 to present. A resolution expresses the intent of the County Council but generally does not have the force and effect of law. Some resolutions, such as appropriation and tax resolutions and resolutions making or confirming an appointment, have binding effect, but most do not. The approval of the County Executive is not required for most resolutions, except where the law that authorizes the resolution specifically requires the Executive to approve it.
