In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal
Home Rule Law, the local laws, ordinances and certain resolutions of the Village
of South Glens Falls shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Village
of South Glens Falls," 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 South Glens Falls" 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 South Glens Falls, 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 Only such provisions of former local laws and ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-3 below.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 South Glens Falls 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by reference therein are hereby repealed from and after the effective date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.

or invalidate the remainder thereof but shall be confined in its operation
to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section, Article, chapter or part thereof
directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been
rendered.
A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the office
of the Village Clerk of the Village of South Glens Falls and shall remain

this local law; and, if this local law shall be adopted, such copy shall be
certified to by the Village Clerk of the Village of South Glens Falls by impressing
thereon the Seal of the Village of South Glens Falls, and such certified copy
shall remain on file in the office of said Village Clerk to be made available
to persons desiring to examine the same during all times while said Code is
in effect. The enactment and publication of this local law, coupled with the
availability of a copy 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, deletions, amendments or supplements to any of
the local laws, ordinances and resolutions known collectively as the "Code
of the Village of South Glens Falls" or any new local laws or resolutions,
when enacted or adopted in such form as to indicate the intention of the Board
of Trustees 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 printed and, as provided hereunder, inserted in the

of Trustees subsequent to 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 may be purchased from the Village Clerk of the Village
of South Glens Falls upon the payment of a fee to be set by resolution of
the Board of Trustees, which Board may also arrange by resolution for procedures
for the periodic supplementation thereof.
Any person who, without authorization from the Village Clerk, changes
or amends, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Code of the
Village of South Glens Falls or who alters or tampers with such Code in any
manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation of the Village of South
Glens Falls to be misrepresented thereby or who violates any other provision
of this local law shall be guilty of 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 15 days, or both.
