§ 10.16 REPEAL OR MODIFICATION OF ORDINANCES.
   (A)   Whenever any ordinance or part of an ordinance shall be repealed or modified by a subsequent ordinance, the ordinance or part of an ordinance thus repealed or modified shall continue in force until the due publication of the ordinance repealing or modifying it when publication is required to give effect thereto, unless otherwise expressly provided.
   (B)   No suit, proceedings, 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 the ordinance had continued in force unless it is otherwise expressly provided.
   (C)   When any ordinance repealing a former ordinance, clause, or provision shall be itself repealed, the repeal shall not be construed to revive the former ordinance, clause, or provision, unless it is expressly provided.
§ 10.17 ORDINANCES WHICH AMEND OR SUPPLEMENT CODE.
   (A)   All ordinances passed subsequent to this code which amend, repeal, or in any way affect this code may be numbered in accordance with the numbering system hereof and printed for inclusion herein. When subsequent ordinances repeal any chapter, subchapter, section, or division, or any portion thereof, the repealed portions may be excluded from this code by omission from reprinted pages. The subsequent ordinances as numbered and printed, or omitted in the case of repeal, shall be prima facie evidence that the subsequent ordinances numbered or omitted are readopted as a new code by the town.
   (B)   Amendments to any of the provisions of the code shall be made by amending the provisions by specific reference to the section number of this code in language substantially similar to the following: "Section                of the Town of Rose Hill, North Carolina, Code of Ordinances, is hereby amended as follows: . . ." The new provisions shall then be set out in full as desired.
   (C)   If a new section not heretofore existing in the code is to be added, language substantially similar to the following shall be used: "The Rose Hill, North Carolina, Code of Ordinances, is hereby amended by adding a section, to be numbered               , which section shall read as follows: . . ." The new section shall then be set out in full as desired.
   (D)   All sections, subchapters, chapters, or provisions desired to be repealed must be specifically repealed by section, subchapter, or chapter number, as the case may be.
