The provisions of the 1997 Code of Bylaws, so far as they are the same as those of existing bylaws, shall be construed as a continuation of such bylaws and not as new enactments, and references in such bylaws not repealed to provisions of law which are revised and reenacted herein shall be construed as applying to such provisions as so incorporated in the 1997 Code of Bylaws.
The repeal by adoption of this vote shall not revive any bylaw heretofore repealed or superseded, nor any office heretofore abolished.
The repeal by adoption of this vote shall not affect any act done, or any right accrued or established, or any proceedings, doings or acts ratified or confirmed, or any suit or proceeding had or commenced in a civil case, before the repeal takes effect, but the proceedings therein shall when necessary conform with the 1997 Code of Bylaws.
The repeal by adoption of this vote shall not affect any penalty or forfeiture incurred before it takes effect, under any of the bylaws repealed, except that where a punishment, penalty or forfeiture is mitigated by the 1997 Code of Bylaws, such provision may be extended and applied to any judgment pronounced after said repeal.
The repeal by adoption of this vote shall not affect any suit or prosecution pending at the time of the repeal for an offense committed, or for the recovery of a penalty or forfeiture incurred, under any of the bylaws repealed, except that the proceedings therein shall when necessary conform to the provisions of the 1997 Code of Bylaws.
Every person who, at the time when said repeal takes effect, holds an office under any of the bylaws repealed, shall continue to hold such office according to the tenure thereof, unless such office is abolished, or unless a different provision relative thereto is made in the 1997 Code of Bylaws.
When a limitation or period of time prescribed in any of the bylaws repealed, for acquiring a right, or barring a remedy, or any other purpose, has begun to run, and the same or a similar limitation is prescribed in the 1997 Code of Bylaws, the time of limitation shall continue to run and shall have like effect as if the whole period had begun and ended under the operation of the 1997 Code of Bylaws.
The bylaws and parts of bylaws specified in the annexed schedule shall be expressly repealed from and after the thirty-first day following the date on which the Attorney General of the Commonwealth acts upon this 1997 Code of Bylaws as required by Section 32 of chapter 40 of the General Laws, subject to all of the provision of section seven, above; but no implication shall be drawn from such repeal that said bylaws and parts of bylaws repealed were in force until so repealed.
