In all matters that are regulated by the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania or by regulations of departments or agencies of the commonwealth
promulgated by authority of law, such laws or regulations, as the case may
be, shall control where the requirements thereof are the same as or in excess
of the provisions of this chapter. The code shall control in all cases where
the state requirements are not as strict as those contained in this chapter.
The invalidity of any section or part of this chapter shall not affect
the remaining sections.
The provisions of this chapter, so far as they are the same as those
of ordinances and/or codes in force immediately prior to the enactment of
this chapter or are intended as a continuation of such ordinances and shall
not affect any act done or liability incurred, nor shall they affect any suit
or prosecution pending or to be instituted to enforce any right or penalty
or to punish any offense under the authority of any of the repealed ordinances.
If any sentence, clause, section or part of this chapter is for any
reason found to be unconstitutional, illegal or invalid, such unconstitutionality,
illegality or invalidity shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions,
sentences, clauses, sections or parts of this chapter. It is hereby declared
as the intent of the Bradford City Council that this chapter would have been
adopted had such unconstitutional, illegal or invalid sentence, clause, section
or part thereof not been included herein.
