Effect of repeal: a statutory repeal does not revive or extinguish past rights, liabilities, penalties or ongoing remedies. Where a later statute or regulation repeals an earlier enactment, the repeal does not revive matters not in force at repeal, nor affect prior operation, lawful acts done under the repealed law, or rights, privileges, obligations and liabilities acquired under it; penalties, forfeitures and related investigations, proceedings and remedies may be instituted, continued or enforced and imposed as if the repealing enactment had not been passed.
