In compiling and preparing the ordinances and 1990 Code of Ordinances
for publication as the 2004 Code of the Town of Lincoln, no changes in the
meaning or intent of such ordinances have been made. Certain grammatical changes
and other minor nonsubstantive changes were made in one or more of said pieces
of legislation. It is the intention of the Town Council that all such changes
be adopted as part of the Code as if the ordinances had been previously formally
amended to read as such.
In compiling and preparing the ordinances and 1990 Code of Ordinances
for publication as the 2004 Code of the Town of Lincoln, the citation style
of references to the Rhode Island General Laws has been standardized to the
following format: R.I.G.L. § _______. In addition, where statutory
references in such ordinances previously referred to an outdated citation
and a new citation is clearly in effect, such references have been updated
in the 2004 Code. It is the intention of the Town Council that all such updated
statutory references be adopted as part of the Code as if the ordinances had
been previously formally amended to read as such.
This ordinance shall take effect upon its passage.
