In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the local laws, ordinances and certain resolutions of the Town of Walworth, as codified over a number of years and consisting of Chapters
1 through
180, have been known collectively as the "Code of the Town of Walworth." The Code as it exists prior to the enactment of this local law is referred to herein as the "Pre-2022 Code." The proposed Code which would be implemented by this local law is referred to herein as the "2022 Updated Code" or the "Code."
The pages representing the revised Code resulting from the 2022
Updated Code, in loose-leaf form (together comprising Schedule B),
have been filed in the office of the Town Clerk of the Town of Walworth
for use and examination by the public. Furthermore, said pages representing
the revisions of the 2022 Updated Code are also available for review
and download on the Town of Walworth website. The Updated 2022 Code,
after enactment of this local law, shall thereafter be referred to
as the "Walworth Town Code."
The provisions of the Pre-2022 Code in force immediately prior
to the enactment of this local law, insofar as they are present in
and substantively the same as those of local laws, ordinances, resolutions
and provisions which comprise the 2022 Updated Code, are intended
as a continuation of such local laws, ordinances, resolutions and
provisions and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such
provisions shall date from the date of adoption of such prior local
law, ordinance or resolution. All such provisions are hereby continued
in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed as to their adoption
by the Town Board of the Town of Walworth, and it is the intention
of said Town Board that each such provision contained within the Pre-2022
Code is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in said 2022 Updated Code.
Should any word, section, clause, paragraph, sentence, article,
part or provision of this local law be declared invalid by a court
of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect the
validity of any other part hereof.
This local law shall take effect immediately upon filing with
the Secretary of State of the State of New York.
