(b) Notice of enactment.--Not later than 15 days after the final enactment of the ordinance, a notice of the enactment shall be advertised once in a newspaper of general circulation in the local government unit. This notice shall state:
(1) Briefly, the substance of any amendments made during final passage and, where applicable:
(i) in respect of lease rental debt, the range of lease rental payments; and
(ii) in other cases, the price bid for bonds or notes and the range of interest rates named in the successful bid.
(2) That the final text of the ordinance as enacted may be examined by any citizen in the office of the secretary of the local government unit at the address and during the reasonable hours stated in the notice.
(c) Effectiveness of ordinance.--The ordinance shall be valid and effective for all purposes on the fifth day after the second advertisement. The second advertisement shall be conclusive, so far as concerns the effectiveness of the ordinance or the validity of any debt incurred, as to the existence of all matters recited or referred to therein unless an action questioning the validity or effectiveness has been filed in timely manner as provided in this subpart, but the conclusiveness shall not affect the liability of any person for failure to permit inspection. No other or different publication shall be required, notwithstanding the provisions of any other statute.
