where applicable.]
[Adopted 10-3-2000 by L.L. No. 3-2000]
In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the local laws, ordinances and certain resolutions of the Village of Stewart Manor, as codified by General Code Publishers Corp., and consisting of Chapters 1 through 200, together with an Appendix, shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Village of Stewart Manor," hereafter termed the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the local laws, ordinances and resolutions contained in the "Code of the Village of Stewart Manor" to any other local law, ordinance or resolution appearing in said Code, such reference shall be changed to the appropriate chapter title, chapter number, article number or section number appearing in the Code as if such local law, ordinance 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, ordinances 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, ordinances 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, ordinance or resolution. All such provisions are hereby continued in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed as to their adoption by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Stewart Manor, and it is the intention of said Board that each such provision contained within the Code is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in said Code. Only such provisions of former local laws and ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-3 below.
All local laws and ordinances of a general and permanent nature
of the Village of Stewart Manor 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continued in force by reference therein are hereby repealed from and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.

Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements
to any of the local laws, ordinances and resolutions known collectively

the enactment of this local law in such form as to indicate the intention
of said Board 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, or any chapter or portion of it, may be

Any person who, without authorization from the Village Clerk,

of the Village of Stewart Manor to be misrepresented thereby or who

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
