When a law is repealed, it does not affect other laws that refer to it. You can still use the other laws even if the original law is no longer in place. The law that replaces the repealed one will be used instead.

If a law mentions another law that has been repealed, it means the new law is being referred to. This new law might be the same or slightly different from the old one. It is the one that replaces or is similar to the repealed law.

One part of this rule is affected by the other part, so you need to consider both together. This is how you apply references to laws that are no longer in place, as seen in the previous law. You follow these steps to understand what happens when a law is repealed.
