[Adopted 12-20-2021 by Ord. No. BOH 2021-12]
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:49-4, the Board of Health ordinances of the Township of Riverside of a general and permanent nature adopted by the Board of Health of the Township of Riverside, as revised and codified and consisting of Chapters
430 through
457, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as "Part III of the Code of the Township of Riverside," hereinafter known and referred to as the "Code." The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of the Board of Health ordinances in force immediately prior to the enactment of the Code by this ordinance, are intended as a continuation of such Board of Health ordinances and not as new enactments. This ordinance and the Code adopted hereby shall supersede and replace Chapters
261 through
272 of the 1995 Code of the Township of Riverside, as amended and supplemented.
The Secretary of the Board of Health or the Clerk of the Township of Riverside shall cause notice of the passage of this ordinance be given in the manner required by law. The notice of passage of this ordinance coupled with the filing of the Code in the office of the Secretary of the Board of Health or the Clerk of the Township of Riverside as provided in §
430-2 shall be deemed, held and considered to be due and legal publication of all provisions of the Code for all purposes.
Each section of this ordinance and Part III of the Code and
every part of each section is an independent section or part of a
section, and the holding of any section or a part thereof to be unconstitutional,
void or ineffective for any cause shall not be deemed to affect the
validity or constitutionality of any other sections or parts thereof.
Board of Health ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent
with the provisions contained in Part III of the Code adopted by this
ordinance are hereby repealed; provided, however, that such repeal
shall only be to the extent of such inconsistency, and any valid legislation
of the Board of Health of the Township of Riverside which is not in
conflict with the provisions of the Code shall be deemed to remain
in full force and effect.
The adoption of Part III of this Code and the repeal of ordinances provided for in §
430-5 of this ordinance shall not affect the following ordinances, rights and obligations, which are hereby expressly saved from repeal:
A. Any Board of Health ordinance adopted subsequent to November 30,
2020.
B. Any right or liability established, accrued or incurred under any
legislative provision prior to the effective date of this ordinance
or any action or proceeding brought for the enforcement of such right
or liability.
C. Any offense or act committed or done before the effective date of
this ordinance in violation of any legislative provision of the Board
of Health or any penalty, punishment or forfeiture which may result
therefrom.
D. Any prosecution, indictment, action, suit or other proceeding pending
or any judgment rendered, prior to the effective date of this ordinance,
brought pursuant to any legislative provision of the Board of Health.
E. Any franchise, license, right, easement or privilege heretofore granted
or conferred by the Board of Health.
It shall be unlawful for anyone to change, alter or tamper with
Part III of the Code in any manner which will cause the laws of the
Board of Health of the Township of Riverside to be misrepresented
thereby. Anyone violating this section shall be subject, upon conviction,
to a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $500.
This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon passage and
publication according to law.
