Unless it expressly provides otherwise, no new ordinance that amends or repeals a prior ordinance shall be construed to affect any offense or act committed, or action, penalty or claim arising under the prior ordinance, except that any proceedings after the effective date of any such new ordinance shall conform, insofar as practicable, to the ordinance in effect at the time of the proceedings. If any penalty, forfeiture or punishment is mitigated by any provision of a new ordinance, such provision may, by the consent of the party affected, be applied to any judgment entered after the new ordinance takes effect.
This section shall extend to all repeals, whether express or by implication, and regardless of whether contained in an ordinance making any new provision upon the same subject or in any other ordinance.
(Added Coun. J. 6-27-90, p. 17764)
Whenever any section of this Code makes reference to the Illinois Complied Statutes such reference shall be deemed to include the current statute in effect, or as thereafter amended, unless the context indicates otherwise.
(Added Coun. J. 4-18-12, p. 23762, § 5)
Editor's note – Coun. J. 3-31-04, p. 20916, § 1.1, repealed a former § 1-4-170, which pertained to pending actions.
If any part, section, sentence, clause or application of this Code shall be adjudged invalid, void and of no effect for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the titles, chapters, sections or other provisions of this Code, or their application to other circumstances.
