In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the local laws and certain resolutions of Monroe County, as codified by General Code Publishers Corp., and consisting of the Charter and Chapters 1 through 569, together with an Appendix, shall be known collectively as the "Code of Monroe County," hereafter termed the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the local laws and resolutions contained in the "Code of Monroe County" to any other local law or resolution appearing in said Code, such reference shall be changed to the appropriate chapter title, chapter number, Article number or section number where such legislation appears in the Code, as if such local law or resolution had been formally amended to so read.
The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of local laws and resolutions in force immediately prior to the enactment of the Code by this local law, are intended as a continuation of such local laws and resolutions and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior local law or resolution. All such provisions are hereby continued in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed as to their adoption by the County Legislature of Monroe County, and it is the intention of said Legislature that each such provision contained within the Code is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in said Code. Only such provisions of former local laws as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-3 below.
All local laws of a general and permanent nature of Monroe County in
force on the date of the adoption of this local law and not contained in such
Code or recognized and continued in force by reference therein are hereby
repealed from and after the effective date of this local law.
The repeal of local laws provided for in § 1-3 of this local law shall not affect the following classes of local laws, rights and obligations, which are hereby expressly saved from repeal:
A.
Any right or liability established, accrued or incurred
under any legislative provision of Monroe County prior to the effective date
of this local law or any action or proceeding brought for the enforcement

Any offense or act committed or done before the effective
date of this local law in violation of any legislative provision of Monroe

pending or any judgment rendered prior to the effective date of this local
law brought pursuant to any legislative provision of Monroe County.

County or any portion thereof.

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, Article, chapter or part
of this local law or of any local law or resolution included in this Code
now or through supplementation shall be adjudged by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate
the remainder thereof but shall be confined in its operation to the clause,
sentence, paragraph, section, Article, chapter or part thereof directly involved
in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the office
of the Clerk of the Monroe County Legislature and shall remain there for use
and examination by the public until final action is taken on this local law;
and, if this local law shall be adopted, such copy shall be certified to by
the Clerk of the Monroe County Legislature by impressing thereon the Seal
of Monroe County, and such certified copy shall remain on file in the office
of said Clerk to be made available to persons desiring to examine the same
during all times while the said Code is in effect. The enactment and publication
of this local law, coupled with the availability of a copy of the Code for
inspection by the public, shall be deemed, held and considered to be due and
legal publication of all provisions of the Code for all purposes.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to any of
the local laws and resolutions known collectively as the "Code of Monroe County"
or any new local laws or resolutions, when enacted or adopted in such form
as to indicate the intention of the County Legislature to be a part thereof,
shall be deemed to be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the
Code shall be understood and intended to include such additions, deletions,
amendments or supplements. Whenever such additions, deletions, amendments
or supplements to the Code shall be enacted or adopted, they shall thereafter
be printed and, as provided hereunder, inserted in the loose-leaf book containing
said Code as amendments and supplements thereto. Nothing contained in this
local law shall affect the status of any local law or resolution contained
herein, and such local laws or resolutions may be amended, deleted or changed
from time to time as the County Legislature deems desirable.
It shall be the duty of the Clerk of the Monroe County Legislature to
keep up-to-date the certified copy of the book containing the Code of Monroe
County required to be filed in the office of the Clerk for use by the public.
All changes in said Code and all local laws and resolutions adopted by the
County Legislature subsequent to the enactment of this local law in such form
as to indicate the intention of said County Legislature to be a part of said
Code shall, when finally enacted or adopted, be included therein by temporary
attachment of copies of such changes, local laws or resolutions until such
changes, local laws or resolutions are printed as supplements to said Code
book, at which time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
Copies of the Code and subsequent supplements may be purchased from
the county upon the payment of the fee fixed therefor.
Any person who, without authorization from the County Attorney, changes
or amends, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Code of Monroe
County or who alters or tampers with such Code in any manner whatsoever which
will cause the legislation of Monroe County to be misrepresented thereby or
who violates any other provision of this local law shall be guilty of an offense
and shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine of not more than
$250 or imprisonment for a term of not more than 15 days, or both.

In addition, certain grammatical changes and other minor nonsubstantive changes were made in one or more of said pieces of legislation. It is the intention of the County Legislature that all such changes be adopted as part of the Code as if the local laws and resolutions had been previously formally amended to read as such.
