§ 1-1-4. Code provisions as continuance of existing ordinances.

(a)

The provisions appearing in this Code, insofar as they relate to the same subject matter and are substantially the same as those ordinance provisions previously adopted by the County and existing at the effective date of this Code, shall be considered as restatements and continuations thereof and not as new enactments.

(b)

No new ordinance shall be construed to repeal a former ordinance, as to any offense committed against the former ordinance, or as to any act done, any penalty, forfeiture, or punishment incurred, or any right accrued, or claim arising under the former ordinance, or in any way whatever to affect any such offense or act so committed or done, or any penalty, forfeiture, or punishment so incurred or any right accrued, or claim arising before the new ordinance takes effect; save only that the proceedings thereafter had shall conform, so far as practicable, to the ordinances in force at the time of such proceedings; and if any penalty, forfeiture, or punishment be mitigated by any provision of the new ordinance, such provision may, with the consent of the party affected, be applied to any judgment pronounced after the new ordinance takes effect.
