§ 13-1.
Purpose. It is the purpose of this Code to restate, simplify, eliminate obsolescences and redundancies and reorganize into a more understandable and usable form the provisions of the 1949 Code repealed hereby. It is intended that this Code shall grant no lesser or greater rights or impose any greater or lesser obligations upon applicants or recipients or administrative agencies than exercised under such prior Code except as they may be changed hereafter by specific amendment to this Code. All such rights and obligations are preserved without change, and without loss or impairment, precisely as if such Code had not been repealed. (Source: Laws 1967, p. 122.)
