The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of the 1985 County Code and 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 Suffolk 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 Only such provisions of former local laws as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of §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.
The chapters of the 1985 Code in force immediately prior to
the enactment of the Code by this local law shall be removed, repealed
or distributed in the Code as indicated and set forth in the Derivation
Table which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part of this
local law.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements
to any of the local laws and resolutions known collectively as the
"Code of Suffolk County" or any new local laws and 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 published
as amendments and supplements thereto. Nothing contained in this local
law shall affect the status of any local law, ordinance 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 Legislature to keep
up-to-date the Code of Suffolk County required to be filed in the
office of the Clerk of the Legislature 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 published as supplements to said Code, at which time such supplements
shall be inserted therein.
