It also divides the consolidated provisions into smaller Sections for ease of use and future amendment and makes technical corrections. This Act is intended as a continuation of the consolidated provisions, and the consolidation is not intended to make any substantive change in the law nor to affect any order issued under any of the consolidated provisions.
