Sec. 8-2-2.

Continuation of prior law.

The provisions of this Code insofar as they are the same or
substantially the same as those of any prior statute, shall be construed as
a continuation of such prior statute and not as a new enactment.

If in any other statute reference is made to an Act of the General
Assembly, or a Section of such an Act, which is continued in this Code such
reference shall be held to refer to the Act or Section thereof so continued
in this Code.
