§ 1.11-1106. Continuity.
(a) All ordinances, resolutions, rules and regulations in force when this Charter takes effect, to the extent not in conflict herewith are hereby continued in force and effect until amended, repealed, superseded, or expired by their own terms. All ordinances and resolutions in continued effect shall be construed as if enacted under this Charter, but as of the date of their enactment. Unless prohibited by the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or an Act of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania, all laws relating to or affecting this County or its agencies, offices, or employes, which are in force when this Charter becomes effective are superseded to the extent that they are inconsistent or interfere with the effective operation of this Charter or of ordinances or resolutions adopted pursuant thereto.
(b) All rights, claims, actions, orders, contracts and legal or administrative proceedings of the County Government shall continue, except as modified pursuant to the provisions of this Charter, and in each case shall be maintained, carried on or dealt with by the County officer or officers, or agency appropriate under this Charter.
(c) If an office or agency is abolished by this Charter, its powers and duties shall be transferred to the office or agency designated in this Charter. Where this Charter does not specifically designate the agency to which existing programs and functions are assigned, the Board shall provide for such assignment in the Administrative Code.
