is Chapter shall be deemed a continuation of the former law so far as sections of the former law are continued unamended. No claim which accrued under the former law shall be increased,
lessened, or extinguished by any provision of this law, but if the claim has not been filed or suit commenced, the procedures provided in Article 2 and the methods of payment prescribed in Article 4 shall apply to said claim. Sections of the former Government Claims Act amended by this Chapter shall be deemed amendments only and not new enactments.
