Purpose-Savings provisions.

It is the purpose of this Code to restate, simplify and codify the
respective Acts and parts of Acts repealed by Section 23-102 which
immediately prior to the effective date of this Code governed the publicly
supported retirement systems, annuity and benefit funds and related pension
and benefit Acts. All such systems and funds shall remain separate and
distinct entities. It is intended that this Code shall grant no lesser or
greater rights, credits, equities, pensions or other benefits than existed
under such Acts or parts of Acts so repealed and incorporated as separate
Articles and Divisions of this Code, immediately prior to the effective
date of this Code, except as they may be changed hereafter by specific
amendment to this Code; and all such rights, credits, equities, annuities,
pensions and other benefits are preserved without change, and without loss
or impairment, precisely as if such Acts or parts of Acts had not been
repealed.
In like manner, any rights in annuities, pensions or other benefits
derived from and in force or which would have come into force under any
Acts or parts of Acts repealed by Section 23-102 and not continued in any
Article or Division of this Code shall be preserved without change, loss or
impairment, precisely as if such Acts or parts of Acts had not been
repealed.
The repeal of any Acts or parts of Acts specified in Section 23-102
shall not affect the validity of any taxes levied or extended under such
Acts or parts of Acts, or of any appropriation ordinances adopted pursuant
thereto, or of any warrants issued against and in anticipation of such
taxes, nor shall the repeal of any Acts or parts of Acts validating and
legalizing appropriation or tax levy ordinances, or both, affect the
validity or operative force of such curative Acts or parts of Acts as
enacted.
The repeal of any Act or parts of Acts specified in Section 23-102
shall not affect the validity of any act, decision, determination or other
authority exercised by any retirement board, or other public officer or
agency pursuant to the powers and duties conferred under such Acts or parts
of Acts, nor shall such repeal affect the validity or course of any
judicial or administrative proceeding or action undertaken and pending or
completed on the effective date of this Code.
