Sec. 13. (a) The city-county legislative body need not hold a hearing before passing any ordinance, except an ordinance that:
(1) provides for the annual budget and tax levy;
(2) appropriates previously unappropriated monies; or
(3) provides for any general obligation indebtedness.
(b) Whenever a legislative body is required by statute to hold a public hearing before passing an ordinance or resolution, a hearing held by a committee of the legislative body meets the requirement.
