§ 177.00 Laws repealed; legislative intent. a. Of the laws enumerated in schedule A annexed hereto, that portion specified in the last column is hereby repealed.

b. It is the intent of the legislature, in enacting such schedule of repeals, specifically to repeal such laws as may be obsolete or have been superseded by the other sections of this chapter so as to harmonize the statutes of the state and the local laws of the municipalities with the local finance law, thus avoiding ambiguity and uncertainty in construing the laws under which the municipalities, school districts and district corporations conduct their fiscal affairs.
