Which section handles the Repealing Clause?

• A. Effectivity
• B. Foreign Reciprocity
• C. Repealing Clause
• D. Penal Provisions

Answer: (C)

Repeal of prior laws is handled by a provision that explicitly states what is being repealed. This Repealing Clause sets out which older statutes or provisions are revoked, ensuring the new law stands as the controlling rule and avoiding conflicting provisions. It clarifies the legislative intent to supersede previous rules and often notes the scope of the repeal, sometimes saving certain rights or provisions if applicable. This is distinct from sections that determine when the law takes effect (Effectivity), punishments for violations (Penal Provisions), or international obligations (Foreign Reciprocity). So the section that handles repealing is the Repealing Clause.
