Title : PART V. THE GENERAL LAWS, AND EXPRESS REPEAL OF CERTAIN ACTS AND RESOLVES
Chapter : CHAPTER 281. THE GENERAL LAWS AND THEIR EFFECT
Section 1. This act shall not in any citation or enumeration of the statutes be reckoned as one of the acts of nineteen hundred and twenty, but may be designated as the General Laws, adding the number of the chapter and section when necessary, and shall take effect from and after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred and twenty.
Section 10. All acts and resolves or parts thereof in force at the time of the taking effect of the General Laws which are of limited duration shall continue in effect according to their terms, notwithstanding any provisions of said General Laws inconsistent therewith.
Section 2. The provisions of the General Laws, so far as they are the same as those of existing statutes, shall be construed as a continuation thereof and not as new enactments, and a reference in a statute which has not been repealed to provisions of law which are revised and re-enacted herein shall be construed as applying to such provisions as so incorporated in the General Laws.
Section 3. The repeal of a law by this act shall not revive a law heretofore repealed or superseded, nor an office heretofore abolished.
Section 4. The repeal of a law by this act shall not affect any act done, ratified or confirmed, any liability incurred, or any right accrued or established, or any action, suit or proceeding commenced or had in a civil case, before the repeal takes effect, but the proceedings in such case shall, when necessary, conform to the provisions of the General Laws; provided, that appeals from orders, decrees or denials of probate courts made before this act takes effect shall be governed by the law then in effect, notwithstanding its subsequent repeal by this act.
Section 5. The repeal of a law by this act shall not affect any punishment, penalty or forfeiture incurred under such law, except that any provision of the General Laws by which a punishment, penalty or forfeiture is mitigated may be extended and applied to any judgment pronounced after said repeal.
Section 6. The repeal of a law by this act shall not affect any action, suit or prosecution pending at the time of the repeal for an offence committed, or for the recovery of a penalty or forfeiture incurred, under any of the laws repealed, except that the proceedings therein shall, when necessary, conform to the provisions of the General Laws.
Section 7. Whoever, when said repeal takes effect, holds an office under any of the laws repealed shall continue to hold it according to the tenure thereof, unless it is abolished or unless a different provision relative thereto is made by the General Laws.
Section 8. The salary or compensation of any incumbent of any office or position at the time when the General Laws take effect shall not be diminished thereby, notwithstanding the repeal therein of any act establishing such salary or compensation and notwithstanding that the General Laws establish a different salary or compensation for the office or position.
Section 9. If a limitation or period of time prescribed in any of the acts repealed for acquiring a right, barring a remedy or any other purpose has begun to run, and the same or a similar limitation is prescribed in the General Laws, the time of limitation shall continue to run and shall have like effect as if the whole period had begun and ended under the operation of the General Laws. If a shorter period of time is prescribed by the General Laws in any matter relating to wills or to the administration of the estates of deceased persons, and the limitation has begun to run, it shall continue to run for the time fixed by the law in effect at the time when it began to run, notwithstanding the repeal thereof by the General Laws.
