Repeal of laws
Official statutory text
Laws are repealed, either entirely or partially, by other laws.
A repeal may be express or implied. It is express when it is literally declared by a subsequent law. It is implied when the new law contains provisions that are contrary to, or irreconcilable with, those of the former law.
The repeal of a repealing law does not revive the first law.
Acts 1987, No. 124, ยง1, eff. Jan. 1, 1988.
