Effect of repealing clause and construction of act A. The adoption and enactment of these Revised Statutes shall not be construed to repeal or in any way to affect or modify: 1. Any special, local or temporary laws. 2. Any law making an appropriation. 3. Any law affecting any bond issue or by which any bond issue may have been authorized. 4. The running of the statutes of limitations in force at the time this act becomes effective. 5. The continued existence and operation of any department, agency or office heretofore legally established or held. 6. Any bond of any public officer. 7. Any taxes, fees, assessments or other charges incurred or imposed. 8. Any statutes authorizing, ratifying, confirming, approving or accepting any compact or contract with any other state or with the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof. B. All laws, rights and obligations set forth in subsection A of this section shall continue and exist in all respects as if these Revised Statutes had not been adopted and enacted. C. In addition to their general application, the provisions of chapter 2 of this title, so far as applicable, apply to the act enacting these Revised Statutes. 1-105. Effect of repeal on prior offenses and punishments A. No fine, forfeiture or penalty incurred under laws existing prior to the time these Revised Statutes take effect shall be affected by repeal of such existing laws, but the recovery of such fines and forfeitures and the enforcement of such penalties shall be effected as if the law repealed had still remained in effect. B. When an offense is committed prior to the time these Revised Statutes take effect, the offender shall be punished under the law in effect when the offense was committed. 1-106. Supplements as part of Revised Statutes A. The laws contained in current pocket parts or supplements to these Revised Statutes, printed and published hereafter as may be authorized by law, shall constitute, prima facie, a part of these Revised Statutes, if such laws, as so contained, purport to represent reproductions of laws enacted by the legislature subsequent to the date these Revised Statutes become effective. B. If such pocket parts or supplements are printed and published on a cumulative basis, then only such laws as are contained in the latest publication thereof shall constitute, prima facie, a part of these Revised Statutes. C. The authentication of such pocket parts under the facsimile signature of the secretary of state, and a printed reproduction of the great seal of the state of Arizona, shall be sufficient to satisfy the purposes and conditions of this section.
