80.2. If the public participation policy of the municipality complies with the requirements of the regulation made under section 80.3, no instrument adopted by the council of the municipality under this Act is subject to approval by way of referendum.
The first paragraph does not apply to a referendum and approval process that is under way at the time of the coming into force of the policy; inversely, the repeal of the policy has no effect on such a process that is under way at the time the policy is repealed. For the purposes of this paragraph, a process is under way as of the adoption of a draft by-law under section 124.
