Chapter 1.15
GENERAL PENALTY

Sections:

1.15.010 Penalty provisions of repealed ordinances.

(1) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to provide for the enforcement of penalties provided in ordinances which have been repealed by the city of Forks against persons who have violated provisions of the repealed ordinance while said repealed ordinance was still in effect.

(2) Savings Clause. No offense committed and no penalty or forfeiture incurred previous to the time when any ordinance provision shall be repealed, whether such repeal be express or implied, shall be affected by such repeal, unless a contrary intention is expressly declared in the repealing ordinance, and no prosecution for any offense, or for the recovery of any penalty or forfeiture, pending at the time any ordinance provision shall be repealed, whether such repeal be express or implied, shall be affected by such repeal, but the same shall proceed in all respects, as if such provision had not been repealed, unless a contrary intention is expressly declared in the repealing ordinance. Whenever any criminal or penal ordinance shall be amended or repealed, all offenses committed or penalties or forfeitures incurred while it was in force shall be punished or enforced as if it were in force, notwithstanding such amendment or repeal, unless a contrary intention is expressly declared in the amending or repealing ordinance, and every such amendatory or repealing ordinance shall be so construed as to save all criminal and penal proceedings, and proceedings to recover forfeitures, pending at the time of its enactment, unless a contrary intention is expressly declared therein. (Ord. 226 §§ 1, 2, 1980)
