Title 2 - Consolidation of Local Government Entities
769 - Effect on Existing Laws; Transition Period.

§ 769. Effect on existing laws; transition period. Subject to the
provisions of the joint consolidation agreement or elector initiated
consolidation plan, as the case may be, pertaining to the common
administration and uniform enforcement of laws in the consolidated local
government entity, all local laws, ordinances, rules or regulations of
the component local government entities in effect on the effective date
of consolidation shall remain in full force and effect within the
respective areas of the component local government entities that existed
prior to consolidation, insofar as the local laws, ordinances, rules or
regulations are not repugnant to law, until repealed or amended. As soon
as practicable but not later than two years after the effective date of
consolidation, the governing body of the consolidated local government
entity shall adopt new local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations as
necessary to redress conflicts and otherwise redress ambiguities arising
among the then-existing laws, ordinances, rules or regulations for the
common administration and uniform governance of the consolidated local
government entity.
