Illinois § 9.02b

§ 9.02b.

Continuation of Section 9.02a of the Act; validation. (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that: (1) Public Act 97-786, which took effect on July 13, 2012, changed the repeal date set for Section 9.02a of the Capital Development Board Act from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2016. (2) The Statute on Statutes sets forth general rules on the repeal of statutes and the construction of multiple amendments, but Section 1 of that Act also states that these rules will not be observed when the result would be "inconsistent with the manifest intent of the General Assembly or repugnant to the context of the statute". (3) This amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly manifests the intention of the General Assembly to extend the repeal of Section 9.02a of the Capital Development Board Act and have Section 9.02a of the Capital Development Board Act continue in effect until June 30, 2016. (4) Section 9.02a of the Capital Development Board Act was originally enacted to protect, promote, and preserve the general welfare. Any construction of this Act that results in the repeal of this Act on June 30, 2012 would be inconsistent with the manifest intent of the General Assembly and repugnant to the context of the Capital Development Board Act. (b) It is hereby declared to have been the intent of the General Assembly that Section 9.02a of the Capital Development Board Act not be subject to repeal on June 30, 2012. (c) Section 9.02a of the Capital Development Board Act shall be deemed to have been in continuous effect since June 30, 1988 (the effective date of Public Act 85-1026), and it shall continue to be in effect henceforward until it is otherwise lawfully repealed. All previously enacted amendments to the Act taking effect on or after June 30, 2012, are hereby validated. (d) All actions taken in reliance on or pursuant to Section 9.02a of the Capital Development Board by the Capital Development Board or any other person or entity are hereby validated. (e) In order to ensure the continuing effectiveness of Section 9.02a of the Capital Development Board Act, it is set forth in full and re-enacted by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly. This re-enactment is intended as a continuation of the Act. It is not intended to supersede any amendment to the Act that is enacted by the 97th General Assembly. (f) Section 9.02a of the Capital Development Board Act applies to all claims, civil actions, and proceedings pending on or filed on or before the effective date of this Act.
