Insofar as this chapter revises, consolidates, codifies, continues or restates the provisions of the rapid transit act, as amended and supplemented, and articles seven and eight of the public service law in force when this chapter shall take effect, such provisions shall be deemed unchanged in substance and effect. If in this chapter there shall have been incorporated any provision of law that heretofore shall have been superseded or specifically or impliedly repealed, the incorporation of any such provision shall not revive such superseded or repealed provision, nor shall such incorporation be construed to indicate any legislative determination that such provision had not been theretofore so superseded or repealed. If in this chapter there shall have been incorporated any new provision, which is not a revision, consolidation, codification, continuance or restatement of the provisions of the rapid transit act, as amended and supplemented, and articles seven and eight of the public service law in force when this chapter shall take effect, such new provision shall not become effective, but shall be deemed an inadvertence or error.
