A statutory or home rule charter city, or town, may revise and codify and print in book, pamphlet or newspaper form, any ordinances, resolutions, and rules of the city or town and may include therein for reference any applicable general or special laws. Such codification shall be a sufficient publication of any ordinance included in it and not previously published in a newspaper if a substantial quantity of the codification is printed for general distribution to the public. A copy of any ordinances adopted by the city or town must be furnished to the county law library or its designated depository. A city or town, upon request, shall be reimbursed a reasonable charge by the county law library for a copy furnished.
