OrdBank is a permanent ordinance repository and gateway for you to communicate with constituents between supplementation. With the OrdBank solution, newly adopted legislation will be posted online in between supplements. Upon the completion of your supplement, the ordinances will be linked in your history notes and stored in your OrdBank Repository. This article will show you how to view your OrdBank permanent ordinance repository.
