(3) The revision of the general charter law by chapter 242, laws of 1921 shall not affect the application of any provisions of the general charter previously adopted by any 1st class city under special charter, but such provisions shall as to such cities retain the same force and application as they had before the enactment of chapter 242, laws of 1921.
History: 1977 c. 151; 1979 c. 90 s. 21; 1979 c. 221, 260, 355; 1981 c. 281 s. 17; 1983 a. 395, 532, 538; 1989 a. 113; 1993 a. 400; 1999 a. 150.

The city of Milwaukee cannot, by charter ordinance, adopt s. 62.13 (5) (b) since s. 62.13 deals with a subject of state-wide concern; it cannot do so under this section since that requires the adoption of whole sections. 58 Atty. Gen. 59.
