Municipal Code Corporation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Municipal Code Corporation (MCC) was founded in 1951 by George Langford who remains the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The company, located in Tallahassee, Florida, is involved in publishing legal document.[1]. These include the original codification, recodification, or republication of municipal legislation (i.e. Codes of Ordinances, Land Use Codes, and Charters), and the updating and supplementation of municipal legislation through printed looseleaf pages and various electronic formats.
The company's Code Department publishes Codes of Ordinances, which requires the original codification, recodification, or republication of a municipality’s local legislation. Staff attorneys within this department (also known as "code attorneys") have the overall responsibility of supervising each publication project. A code attorney reviews the local legislation, organizes the individual pieces of legislation into logical classifications, and then performs a legal review of that legislation, involving an analysis of the municipality's legislation compared to state statutes, court decisions, and federal law. The code attorney points out any inconsistencies between the municipality’s legislation and the statutes or case law, and makes recommendations to a municipal attorney regarding how to cure any defects found in the local legislation. When the new language is approved by the municipality, the code attorney releases the project to a team of editors and proofreaders.
The MCC Online Library [1] contains a publicly accessible collection of over 1700 Codes of Ordinances that the company has published for local governments in 46 states.
