San Juan Bautista Municipal Code Art. 1 Title and Application of City Code

The ordinances embraced in the following chapters and sections shall be known as the “San Juan Bautista Municipal Code” and may be cited as such.

The provisions of this Code, insofar as they are substantially the same as ordinances existing on the effective date of this Code, shall be construed as restatements and continuations thereof and not as new enactments.

No action or proceeding commenced before this Code takes effect, and no right accrued, is affected by this Code, but all procedure thereafter taken therein shall conform to the provisions of this Code so far as possible.

(A) The repeal of an ordinance shall not revive any ordinance in force before or at the time the ordinance repealed took effect.

(B) The repeal of an ordinance shall not affect any punishment or penalty incurred before the repeal took effect, nor any suit, prosecution or proceeding pending at the time of the repeal, for any offense committed under the ordinance repealed.

If any chapter, article, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Code is for any reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Code. It is hereby declared to be the intention of the City Council that each chapter, article, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase in this Code shall be severable.
