Whenever an ordinance by its nature either authorizes or enables the legislative body, or a certain public officer or employee, to make additional ordinances or regulations for the purpose of carrying out the intent of the ordinance, all ordinances and regulations of a similar nature serving the purpose effected prior to the codification and not inconsistent thereto shall remain in effect and are saved.
All ordinances passed by the legislative body requiring publication shall take effect from and after the due publication thereof, unless otherwise expressly provided. Ordinances not requiring publication shall take effect from their passage, unless otherwise expressly provided.
(A) The repeal of an ordinance, or its expiration by virtue of any provision contained therein, shall not affect any right accrued, any offense committed, any penalty or punishment incurred, or any proceeding commenced before the repeal took effect or the ordinance expired.
(B) When an ordinance which repealed another shall itself be repealed, the previous ordinance shall not be revived without express words to that effect.
(A) Any chapter, section or division amended or added to this code by ordinances passed subsequent to this code may be numbered in accordance with the numbering system of this code and printed for inclusion herein. Any chapter, section or division repealed by subsequent ordinances may be excluded from this code by omission from reprinted pages. Subsequent ordinances as printed or omitted shall be prima facie evidence of the subsequent ordinances until the legislative body of the municipality shall adopt a new code of ordinances.
(B) The following language should be used by the municipality to amend, add or repeal a chapter, section or division:
(1) Section amended. “Section of the Folly Beach Code of Ordinances is amended to read as follows: . . . .”
(2) Section added. “Section , which reads as follows, is added to and amends the Folly Beach Code of Ordinances: . . . .”
(3) Section repealed. “Section of the Folly Beach Code of Ordinances, which reads as follows, is repealed: . . . .”
(A) As histories for the code sections, the specific number and passage date of the original ordinance and the most recent three amending ordinances, if any, are listed following the text of the code section. Example: (Ord. 10, passed 5-13-60; Am. Ord. 15, passed 1-1-70; Am. Ord. 20, passed 1-1-80; Am. Ord. 25, passed 1-1-85)
(B) (1) If a statutory cite is included in the history, this indicates that the text of the section reads substantially the same as the statute. Example: (S.C. Code § 16-11-700) (Ord. 10, passed 1-17-80; Am. Ord. 20, passed 1-1-85).
(2) If a statutory cite is set forth as a “statutory reference” following the text of the section, this indicates that the reader should refer to that statute for further information. Example:
This municipality shall make available to any person for inspection or copying all public records, unless otherwise exempted by state law.
Statutory reference:
Inspection of public records, S.C. Code §§ 30-1-10 et seq.
Except as otherwise provided in this code, the violation of any rules, regulations or orders promulgated by any officer or agency of the municipality under authority vested in him, her or it by law, by the provisions of this code or by any ordinance or resolution, shall be unlawful.
