26 No.401), entitled "An act to fix, regulate, and establish the

19770H0825B2469 - 266 -
1 (k) Nothing in this act or the act to which this is a
2 supplement shall affect existing laws relating to the election
3 or appointment of constables or impair or limit the existing
4 rights, powers, functions or immunities of any constable, it

8 1974 (P.L.486, No.175), referred to as the Public Agency Open
9 Meeting Law, is hereby repealed insofar as inconsistent with 42
10 Pa.C.S. § 1703 (relating to meeting procedures).
11 Section 3. Cross Reference and Interpretation.--(a) Cross
12 Reference.--This act shall be deemed a part of the act of July
13 9, 1976 (P.L.586, No.142), known as the "Judiciary Act of 1976"
14 for the purposes of 1 Pa.C.S. § 1975 (relating to effect of
15 repeal on limitations) and § 1978 (relating to repeal as
16 obsolete does not affect substantive rights).
17 (b) Interpretation.--The specific repeals effected by
18 section 2 are intended to eliminate obsolete, unnecessary or
19 suspended statutory provisions. General rules promulgated
20 pursuant to the Constitution of Pennsylvania and the Judicial
21 Code in effect on the effective date of the repeal of a statute,
22 shall prescribe and provide the practice and procedure with
23 respect to the enforcement of any right, remedy or immunity
24 where the practice and procedure had been governed by the
25 repealed statute on the date of its repeal. If no such general
26 rules are in effect with respect to the repealed statute on the
27 effective date of its repeal, the practice and procedure
28 provided in the repealed statute shall continue in full force
29 and effect, as part of the common law of the Commonwealth, until
30 such general rules are promulgated. Nothing in this act is
19770H0825B2469 - 267 -
1 intended to revive any act heretofore supplied and repealed by
2 later inconsistent legislation. The fact that this act
3 specifically repeals part of an act shall not create any
4 implication that the unrepealed parts of such act are consistent
5 with or are not supplied by the applicable provisions of the
6 Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes or other later statutes.
7 (c) Prior laws.--Specific references appearing in this act
8 or the act to which this is a supplement to provisions of the
9 Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes shall constitute also
10 specific references to the corresponding prior statutory
11 provisions supplied by the provisions of the Pennsylvania
12 Consolidated Statutes to which such reference is made.
13 (d) District justices.--An express reference in any statute
14 or other law to a justice of the peace or to the office of
15 justice of the peace shall hereafter be deemed a reference to a
16 district justice or to the office of district justice. Any
17 person appointed or elected to judicial office in a magisterial
18 district shall be known as and hereafter shall be commissioned
19 as the "district justice" in and for the appropriate magisterial
20 district.
21 Section 4. Delayed Effective Dates.--(a) Repeals contained
22 in this act which make reference to this subsection shall take
23 effect one year after the general effective date of this act.
24 (b) Repeals contained in this act which make reference to
25 this subsection shall take effect two years after the general
26 effective date of this act.
27 (c) As used in section 2 of this act the term "immediately"
28 means on the general effective date of this act and not the date
29 of enactment of this act.
