Section 104 - Saving clause
(a) The provisions of this act, as far as they are the same as those of existing laws, shall be construed as a continuation of such laws, and not as new enactments. The repeal by this act of any provisions of law, shall not revive any law previously repealed or superseded, nor affect the existence or class of any county previously created. The provisions of this act shall not affect any act done, liability incurred, or right accrued or vested, nor affect any suit or prosecution, pending or to be instituted, to enforce any right or penalty, or punish any offense under the authority of the repealed laws.
(b) All ordinances, resolutions, regulations and rules, made pursuant to any act repealed by this act, shall continue with the same force and effect as if the act had not been repealed. All local acts applying to particular counties, not specifically repealed, shall continue in force, and any provisions of this act inconsistent with local laws shall not apply to the counties affected by the local laws, unless the application is clearly indicated.
(c) All acts and parts of acts relating to counties, or to particular classes of counties, in force as of January 1, 1956, and not repealed by this act, shall remain in force in the same manner and with the same effect as prior to the adoption of this act.
(d) This act shall be considered a continuation of the act of July 28, 1953 ( P.L. 723, No.230), known as the "Second Class County Code," as it pertains to second class A counties except where otherwise expressly provided. The repeal of the "Second Class County Code," as it relates to second class A counties by section 3901 of this act shall not be construed as modifying or repealing any term of office, power, ordinance, rule or regulation of home rule counties or counties of the second class A existing on the effective date of this subsection.
