Middletown, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 249 § 249-6
Automatic sunset
Operative Text
This chapter shall automatically expire and be deemed repealed on June 15, 2034.
Section 249-6 of Middletown, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 249 establishes an automatic expiration date for the entire chapter: unless further legislative action is taken, all provisions within Chapter 249 will cease to have legal effect on June 15, 2034. This type of 'sunset clause' means the ordinance is self-terminating rather than remaining in force indefinitely. No separate repeal vote is required for the chapter to end on that date.
