Illinois Statutes Chapter 605. Roads and Bridges § 5/11-104. Saving provisions; continuation of prior statutes

§ 11-104. The repeal of a statute or part thereof by this Code shall not affect any action pending or rights existing at the time this Code takes effect; neither shall this Code impair the validity of any proceedings taken or tax levied or extended under such prior statute or impair the validity of any bonds or other indebtedness outstanding at the time this Code takes effect.

The provisions of this Code insofar as they are the same or substantially the same as those of any prior statute, shall be construed as a continuation of such prior statute and not as a new enactment.

If in any other statute reference is made to an Act of the General Assembly, or a Section of such an Act, which is continued in this Code, such reference shall be held to refer to the Act or Section thereof so continued in this Code.

When a road district comprises a single township under the provisions of this Code, the term “road district” shall be construed as being synonymous with the term “township” as used in any law repealed by this Code.
