## Bylaws
A bylaw is a law made by a local authority (Town Council) in accordance with the powers conferred by or delegated to it under a statute, in this case the MGA (Municipal Government Act) Section 180. Council may pass a bylaw to govern the affairs within the Council ( the procedural bylaw and code of conduct for councillors) and bylaws that govern within the municipality. Common bylaws include animal control, annual tax levy, traffic and business regulation & licensing. A municipal bylaw is no different than any other law of the land, and can be enforced with penalties, challenged in court and must comply with higher levels of law. Municipal bylaws are often enforceable through the public justice system, and offenders can be charged with a criminal offence for breach of a bylaw.
