§ 1-21. Relation to state law.

It is the intent of the Kellogg City Council that provisions of this Code are the fullest exercise of regulatory and other powers granted to it by state Law. When this Code imposes a more stringent rule or standard of conduct than contained in similar provisions of state law, rule or regulation, it is the intent of the Council that provision of this Code prevails over such state law, rule or regulation to the extent permitted by law. Editor's Note: Subdivision 8 (Copies) of Original Section 100.01, Title, Citation; Statutory Reference, and original Section 100.02 (Definitions) and Section 100.03 (Statutory rules adopted), all of which immediately followed this section, were deleted at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art.

§ 1-22. Existing rights and liabilities.

The repeal of prior ordinances and adoption of this Code are not to be construed to affect in any manner rights and liabilities existing at the time of repeal and the enactment of this Code. Insofar as provisions in this Code are substantially the same as preexisting ordinances, they shall be considered as continuations thereof and not a new enactment. Any act done, offense committed, or right accruing, or liability, penalty, forfeiture or punishment incurred or assessed prior to the effective date of this Code is not affected by the enactment of this Code. Editor's Note: Original Section 100.07, Separability, which immediately followed this section, was deleted at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I).
