Except where otherwise specifically provided by statute, every proposed ordinance or resolution of an incorporated town of a legislative character shall be published once in one newspaper of general circulation in the town not more than 60 days nor less than seven days prior to passage. Publication of any proposed ordinance shall include either the full text thereof or the title and a brief summary prepared by the town solicitor setting forth all the provisions in reasonable detail and a reference to a place within the incorporated town where copies of the proposed ordinance may be examined. If the full text is not included, a copy thereof shall be supplied to a newspaper of general circulation in the town at the time the public notice is published. If the full text is not included, an attested copy thereof shall be filed in the county law library or other county office designated by the county commissioners who may impose a fee no greater than that necessary to cover the actual costs of storing said ordinances. In the event substantial amendments are made in the proposed ordinance or resolution, upon enactment, council shall, within ten days, readvertise, in one newspaper of general circulation in the town, a brief summary setting forth all the provisions in reasonable detail together with a summary of the amendments.
