This ordinance and the Code shall supersede
all other general and permanent ordinances of the Board of Health
enacted prior to the enactment of this Code, except such ordinances
as are expressly saved from repeal or continued in force and effect
hereinafter.
All provisions of this ordinance and the Code
shall be in full force and effect on and after March 1, 1977.
A copy of the Code in a loose-leaf form has
been filed in the office of the Secretary of the Board of Health and
shall remain there for the use and examination of the public until
final action is taken on this ordinance; and, if this ordinance shall
be adopted, such copy shall be certified as provided by law, and such
certified copy shall remain on file in the office of the Secretary
of the Board of Health to be made available to persons desiring to
examine the same during all times while the said Code is in effect.
The Secretary of the Board of Health, pursuant
to law, shall cause to be published in the manner required a copy
of this adopting ordinance in a newspaper of general circulation in
the borough. Sufficient copies of the Code shall be maintained in
the office of the Secretary for inspection by the public at all times
during regular office hours. The enactment and application of this
adopting ordinance, coupled with availability of copies 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, amendments or supplements
to the Code, when passed and adopted in such form as to indicate the
intent of the Board of Health to make them a part thereof, shall be
deemed to be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the
"Code of the Borough of Madison" shall be understood and intended
to include such additions and amendments. Whenever such additions,
amendments or supplements to the Code shall be adopted, they shall
thereafter be printed and, as provided hereunder, inserted in the
loose-leaf book containing the said Code, as amendments and supplements
thereto.
All ordinances of a general and permanent nature adopted subsequent to the date given to § 201-13A and/or prior to the date of adoption of this ordinance are hereby deemed to be a part of the Code and shall, upon being printed, be included therein. Attested copies of all such legislation shall be temporarily placed in the Code until printed supplements are included.
It shall be the duty of the Secretary, or someone
authorized and directed by him, to keep up-to-date the certified copy
of the book containing the Code required to be filed in his office
for the use of the public. All changes in said Code and all ordinances
adopted subsequent to the effective date of this codification which
shall be adopted specifically as part of the Code shall, when finally
adopted, be included therein by reference until such changes or new
ordinances are printed as supplements to said Code book, at which
time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
It shall be unlawful for anyone to improperly change or amend, by additions or deletions, any part or portion thereof or to alter or tamper with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the law of the Board of Health to be misrepresented thereby. Anyone violating this section of this ordinance shall be subject, upon conviction, to the penalties provided in § 201-14 of this ordinance.
Each section 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 section or parts thereof.
Each section of this ordinance is an independent
section and the holding of any section or part thereof to be unconstitutional,
void or ineffective for any cause shall not be deemed to affect the
validity or constitutionality of any other section or parts thereof.
All ordinances of a general and permanent nature,
adopted by the Board of Health and in force on the date of the adoption
of this ordinance, and not contained in the Code, are hereby repealed
as of the effective date of this adopting ordinance, except as hereinafter
provided.
