As added by P.L.2-1993, SEC.1.
Sec. 2. The purpose of senate enrolled act 24 of the 1993 regular session of the general assembly is to recodify prior health and hospital law in a style that is clear, concise, and easy to interpret and apply. Except to the extent that:
(1) senate enrolled act 24 of the 1993 regular session of the general assembly is amended to reflect the changes made in a provision of another bill that adds to, amends, or repeals a provision in senate enrolled act 24 of the 1993 regular session of the general assembly; or
(2) the minutes of meetings of the code revision commission during 1992 expressly indicate a different purpose;
the substantive operation and effect of the prior health and hospital law continue uninterrupted as if senate enrolled act 24 of the 1993 regular session of the general assembly had not been enacted.

(1) inserting, deleting, or substituting words, punctuation, or other matters of style in senate enrolled act 24 of the 1993 regular session of the general assembly; and
(2) using any other rule of statutory construction;
as necessary or appropriate to apply senate enrolled act 24 of the 1993 regular session of the general assembly in a manner that does not result in a substantive change in the law. The principle of statutory construction that a court must apply the literal meaning of an act if the literal meaning of the act is unambiguous does not apply to senate enrolled act 24 of the 1993 regular session of the general assembly to the extent that senate enrolled act 24 of the 1993 regular session of the general assembly is not substantively identical to the prior health and hospital law.

Subject to section 7 of this chapter, a reference in a statute or rule to a statute that is repealed and replaced in the same or a different form in senate enrolled act 24 of the 1993 regular session of the general assembly shall be treated after the effective date of the new provision as a reference to the new provision.
