The purpose of the recodification act of the 2004 regular session of the general assembly is to recodify prior law in a style that is clear, concise, and easy to interpret and apply. Except to the extent that:

1. (1) the recodification act of the 2004 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 the recodification act of the 2004 regular session of the general assembly; or

2. (2) the minutes of meetings of the code revision commission during 2003 expressly indicate a different purpose;

   the substantive operation and effect of the prior law continue uninterrupted as if the recodification act of the 2004 regular session of the general assembly had not been enacted.
