§ 1-16. Amendments to Code.

(a)

All resolutions or ordinances passed subsequent to this Code which amend, repeal or in any way affect this Code may be numbered in accordance with the numbering system of this Code and printed for inclusion in this Code. In the case of repealed chapters, sections and subsections or any part thereof, by subsequent resolutions or ordinances, such repealed portions may be excluded from the Code by their omission from affected reprinted pages. The subsequent resolutions or ordinances, as numbered and printed or omitted, in the case of repeal, shall be prima facie evidence of such subsequent resolutions or ordinances until such time that this Code and subsequent resolutions or ordinances numbered or omitted are readopted as a new Code by the board of commissioners.

(b)

Amendments to any of the provisions of this Code may be made by amending such provisions by specific reference to the section number of this Code.

(c)

If a new section not heretofore existing in the Code is to be added, the following language may be used: "That The Code of Echols County, Georgia, is amended by adding a section (or article or chapter) to be numbered ;#rule;, which section reads as follows:…." The new section may then be set out in full as desired.

(d)

All sections, articles, chapters or provisions desired to be repealed should be specifically repealed by section, article or chapter number, as the case may be.
