(A) The repeal of a repealing statute does not revive the by-law originally repealed nor impair the effect of any saving clause therein.
(R.C. § 1.57)
(B) The reenactment, amendment, or repeal of a by-law does not, except as provided in division (C) below:
(1) Affect the prior operation of the by-law or any prior action taken thereunder;
(2) Affect any validation, cure, right, privilege, obligation, or liability previously acquired, accrued, accorded, or incurred thereunder;
(3) Affect any violation thereof or penalty, forfeiture, or punishment incurred in respect thereto, prior to the amendment or repeal;
(4) Affect any investigation, proceeding, or remedy in respect of any privilege, obligation, liability, penalty, forfeiture, or punishment; and the investigation, proceeding, or remedy may be instituted, continued, or enforced, and the penalty, forfeiture, or punishment imposed, as if the by-law had not been repealed or amended.
(C) If the penalty, forfeiture, or punishment for any offense is reduced by a reenactment or amendment of a by-law, the penalty, forfeiture, or punishment, if not already imposed, shall be imposed according to the by-law as amended.
(R.C. § 1.58)
(D) A by-law which is re-enacted or amended is intended to be a continuation of the prior by-law and not a new enactment, so far as it is the same as the prior by-law.
(R.C. § 1.54)
