(A) No ordinance or part of any ordinance heretofore repealed shall be considered re-ordained or reenacted by virtue of this code, unless specifically reenacted.
(B) The repeal of any curative or validating ordinances shall not impair or affect any cure or validation already effected thereby.
(A) Amendments to any of the provisions of this code shall be made by amending the provisions by specific reference to the section number of this code in the following language: “That section _____ of the Tuscarora Township Code, is hereby amended to read as follows:...” The new provisions shall then be set out in full as desired.
(B) If a new section not heretofore existing in the code is to be added, the following language shall be used: “That the Tuscarora Township Code is hereby amended by adding a section, to be numbered _____, which section reads as follows:...” The new section shall then be set out in full as desired.
(A) By contract or by township personnel, supplements to this code shall be prepared and printed whenever authorized or directed by the Township Board. A supplement to the code shall include all substantive permanent and general parts of ordinances adopted during the period covered by the supplement and all changes made thereby in the code. The pages of a supplement shall be so numbered that they will fit properly into the code and will, where necessary, replace pages which have become obsolete or partially obsolete, and the new pages shall be so prepared that, when they have been inserted, the code will be current through the date of the adoption of the latest ordinance included in the supplement.
(B) In preparing a supplement to this code, all portions of the code which have been repealed shall be excluded from the code by the omission thereof from reprinted pages.
(C) When preparing a supplement to this code, the codifier (meaning the person, agency or organization authorized to prepare the supplement) may make formal, non-substantive changes in ordinances and parts of ordinances included in the supplement, insofar as it is necessary to do so to embody them into a unified code. For example, the codifier may:
(1) Organize the ordinance material into appropriate divisions;
(2) Provide appropriate catchlines, headings and titles for sections and other divisions of the code printed in the supplement, and make changes in catchlines, headings and titles;
(3) Assign appropriate numbers to sections and other divisions to be inserted in the code and, where necessary, to accommodate new material, change existing section or other subdivision numbers;
(4) Change the words “this ordinance” or words of the same meaning to “this chapter”, “this subchapter”, “this division” and the like, as the case may be, or to “sections _____ to _____” (inserting section numbers to indicate the sections of the code which embody the substantive sections of the ordinance incorporated into the code); and
(5) Make other non-substantive changes necessary to preserve the original meaning of ordinance sections inserted into the code, but in no case shall the codifier make any change in the meaning or effect of ordinance material included in the supplement or already embodied in the code.
The following public servants are hereby authorized to issue and serve appearance tickets with respect to ordinances of the township, as provided by Public Act 147 of 1968, being M.C.L.A. §§ 764.9a through 764.9e, as amended, when the public servant has reasonable cause to believe that a person has committed an offense in violation of a township ordinance:

Each section, division, sentence, clause and provision of this code is separable and if any provision shall be held unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, the decision shall not affect the remainder of this code, or any part thereof, other than that part affected by the decision.
Unless another penalty is expressly provided by this code for any particular provision or section, every person convicted of a violation of any provision of this code or any rule or regulation adopted or issued in pursuance thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $500 and costs of prosecution or by imprisonment for not more than 90 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment; unless there is a fine or penalty specifically set forth in the ordinance which provides for a greater penalty, and in that event, such greater penalty shall control. Each act of violation and every day upon which any such violation shall occur shall constitute a separate offense. The penalty provided by this section, unless another penalty is expressly provided, shall apply to the amendment of any section of this code whether or not such penalty is re-enacted in the amendatory ordinance.
