TITLE 4: ECONOMIC RESOURCES DIVISION 5: BUSINESS REGULATION § 5711. Maintaining and Monitoring Cap [Repealed]. Source: PL 12-11, § 6 d., modified; repealed by PL 17-1 § 6(C) (March 22, 2010).* Commission Comment: PL 12-11, which created this section took effect on August 3, 2000. PL 12-11 contained title, findings and purpose, severability, and savings clause provisions as follows: Section 1. Title. This Act may be cited as the Omnibus Labor and Business Reform Act of 2000. Section 2. Findings and Purpose. The Legislature finds that over the past several years, many laws have been enacted that unduly restrict the ability of people to do business. We do not believe that it is in the inter- ests of the Commonwealth to stifle commerce by enacting restrictive laws, especially when our economy is in great need of revitalization. The Legislature further finds that although there is a need to protect jobs for our local residents, if there is no qualified local person to fill a business need, then the government should adopt policies to help business other- wise meet staffing needs. Finally, the Legislature recognizes the need to encourage new business development, and this should be done with as lit- tle government intrusion or regulation as necessary… . Section 8. Severability. If any provision of this Act or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance should be held inva- lid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Act or the application of its provisions to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid shall not be affected thereby. Section 9. Savings Clause. This Act and any repealer contained herein shall not be construed as affecting any existing right acquired under con- tract or acquired under statutes repealed or under any rule, regulation or order adopted under the statutes. Repealers contained in this Act shall not affect any proceeding instituted under or pursuant to prior law. The en- actment of this Act shall not have the effect of terminating, or in any way modifying, any liability, civil or criminal, which shall already be in exist- ence at the date this Act becomes effective.
- PL 17-1 contained the following section regarding the effective date of the law: Section 12. Effective date. This Act shall take effect upon its approval by the Governor or becoming law without such approval and shall be ret- roactive to November 28, 2009 except as otherwise specifically provided herein.
