§ 1-3. Effect of repeal or amendment of ordinance.

No repeal, revision, amendment or alteration of any ordinance or resolution shall in any manner affect any prosecution or right to prosecute for any offense committed under the ordinance or resolution so repealed, revised, amended or altered, unless the repealing, revising, amending or altering ordinance or resolution shall otherwise expressly provide; and every such prosecution, whether begun before or after the enactment of such repealing, revising, amending or altering ordinance or resolution shall be governed by the law under which the offense was committed; nor shall the prosecution or suit, or the right to prosecute or sue, for the recovery of any penalty or any license or tax or other sum of money due the city, or for the enforcement of any forfeiture, be in any manner affected by the repealing or amending of an ordinance or resolution, but such prosecution or suit shall be carried on or instituted and carried on to final judgment in all respects as if such ordinance or resolution had not been revised, amended, altered or repealed.
