IC 1-1-5.5-15: P.L.2-1996 intended to resolve technical conflicts among acts and correct technical errors; no effect on rights or liabilities accrued, penalties incurred, violations committed, or proceedings begun; references to repealed statutes

Sec. 15. (a) P.L.2-1996 is intended to resolve technical conflicts among acts enacted by the general assembly and to correct other technical errors. P.L.2-1996 is not intended to change the intended effective date of any statute or otherwise result in any substantive change in the law.

(b) A SECTION of P.L.2-1996 does not affect any:

(1) rights or liabilities accrued;

(2) penalties incurred;

(3) violations committed; or

(4) proceedings begun;

before the effective date of that SECTION of P.L.2-1996. Those rights, liabilities, penalties, offenses, and proceedings continue and shall be imposed and enforced under prior law as if that SECTION of P.L.2-1996 had not been enacted.

(c) Any reference in any statute or rule to a statute that is repealed and replaced in the same or a different form in P.L.2-1996 shall be treated after the effective date of the new provision as a reference to the new provision.
