137.15. Every by-law to which sections 137.2 to 137.7 apply or which is adopted by the council of the regional county municipality in accordance with section 137.8 comes into force on the date on which the certificate of conformity is issued. It is deemed to be in conformity with the objectives of the RCM plan and with the provisions of the complementary document.
However, where sections 137.10 to 137.14 apply also to the by-law, the by-law comes into force on the later of the date on which the certificate of conformity is issued and the date from which, according to section 137.13, it is deemed to be in conformity with the planning program.
A by-law may, however, provide that it comes into force on any date after the date determined in accordance with the first or second paragraph.
As soon as practicable after the coming into force of the by-law, the clerk or the clerk-treasurer of the municipality shall publish a notice thereof in a newspaper circulated in the territory of the municipality and post it in the office of the municipality.
