24 Pa.C.S. § 2 Continuation of prior law.
The addition of 24 Pa.C.S. Ch. 93 is a continuation of the act of June 14, 1961 (P.L.324, No.188), known as The Library Code. The following apply:
(1) Activities initiated under The Library Code shall continue and remain in full force and effect and may be completed under 24 Pa.C.S. Ch. 93.
(2) A resolution, order, regulation, rule or decision made under The Library Code and in effect on the effective date of this section shall remain in full force and effect until revoked, vacated or modified under 24 Pa.C.S. Ch. 93.
(3) A contract, obligation or agreement entered into under The Library Code shall not be affected or impaired by the repeal of The Library Code.
(4) Except where specifically commented upon in the report of the Joint State Government Commission, entitled "The Pennsylvania Public Library Code: Findings and Recommendations" (December 2010), any difference in language between 24 Pa.C.S. Ch. 93 and The Library Code is intended only to conform to the style of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes and is not intended to change or affect the legislative intent, judicial construction or administration and implementation of The Library Code.
(5) The provisions of 24 Pa.C.S. § 9312 that relate to the composition of the advisory council and require a different composition from that required under The Library Code are not intended to affect the existing membership of the advisory council. As the terms of the existing advisory council members expire, the following shall apply:
(i) The appointment of new members shall conform with the requirements of 24 Pa.C.S. § 9312.
(ii) Until the distribution of membership under 24 Pa.C.S. § 9312 has been met, if a vacancy occurs in the membership of the advisory council after the effective date of this section and the vacated position was held by a layperson, the position shall be filled by a professional librarian until the distribution of membership under 24 Pa.C.S. § 9312 has been met.
