(A) Wherever any ordinance or part of an ordinance shall be repealed or modified by a subsequent ordinance, a part of an ordinance thus repealed or modified shall continue in force until the due publication of the ordinance repealing or modifying same, when such publication shall be required to give effect thereto.
(B) When such publication is not required, the repealing or modifying ordinance shall take effect immediately upon passage, unless therein otherwise expressly provided; but no suit, proceeding, right, fine, forfeiture, or penalty instituted, created, given, secured, or accrued, under any ordinance previous to its repeal, shall in any way be affected, released, or discharged, but may be prosecuted, enjoyed, and recovered, as fully as if such ordinance had continued in force unless it shall be therein otherwise expressly provided.
(Prior Code, § 2-315)
