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not repealed to provisions of law which are revised and reenacted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heretofore repealed or superseded, nor any office heretofore abolished.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repealed, except that where a punishment, penalty or forfeiture is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of the bylaws repealed, except that the proceedings therein shall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holds an office under any of the bylaws repealed, shall continue to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bylaws repealed, for acquiring a right, or barring a remedy, or any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shall be expressly repealed from and after the thirty-first day following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.
