<h1>Supreme Court clarifies repeal, substitute, and omission are functionally equivalent in statutory amendments despite different terminology</h1> Legal terminology distinguishes between 'repeal,' 'substitute,' and 'omission' in statutory amendments, though they often produce similar effects. Courts have clarified that these terms, while literally different, can be functionally equivalent. Legal authorities define 'delete' and 'omit' as interchangeable terms involving removal or exclusion of provisions. 'Repeal' encompasses abolishing or making void existing law. The Supreme Court has established that omission constitutes a form of repeal, as both involve deletion of statutory provisions. Express repeal requires clear legislative intention to abrogate enactments, regardless of specific wording used, whether through formal repeal language or provisions stating sections 'shall cease to have effect' or 'shall be omitted.'
