The local laws embraced in the chapters and sections herein
shall constitute and be designated the "Code of the Village of Amityville"
and may be so cited.
The catch lines of the several sections of this Code which are
printed in boldface type are intended as mere catchwords to indicate
the contents of the section and shall not be deemed or taken to be
the titles of such sections, nor to be any part of the section, nor,
unless expressly so provided, shall they be so deemed when any of
such sections, including the catch lines, are amended or reenacted.
The sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses and phrases of
this Code are severable, and if any phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph
or section of this Code shall be declared unconstitutional by the
valid judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, such
unconstitutionality shall not affect any of the remaining phrases,
clauses, sentences, paragraphs and sections of this Code.
All local laws passed subsequent to the adoption of this Code,
which local laws amend, repeal or in any way affect this Code, may
be numbered in accordance with the numbering system of this Code and
printed for inclusion therein, or in the case of chapters, sections
and subsections, or any part thereof, repealed by subsequent local
laws, such repealed portions may be excluded from the Code by omission
from reprinted pages affected thereby, and the subsequent local laws
as numbered and printed or omitted, in the case of repeal, shall be
prima facie evidence of such subsequent local laws until such time
as this Code and subsequent local laws numbered or omitted are readopted
as a new Code by the Village Board of Trustees.
Upon the adoption of any zoning law, or amendment thereto, an
abstract of such law shall be published once in the official newspaper,
and a copy of such law, together with a summary or abstract of any
map incorporated therein, shall be posted conspicuously at or near
the main entrance to the office of the Village Clerk. This section
modifies the publication requirements contained in § 7-706
of the Village Law as the same apply to the Village of Amityville.
It shall be unlawful for any person in the Village to change
or amend, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of this Code,
to insert or delete pages or portions thereof or to alter or tamper
with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the law of
the Village of Amityville to be misrepresented thereby.
