Art. 8. Repeal of laws

           Laws are repealed, either entirely or partially, by other laws.

           A repeal may be express or implied. It is express when it is literally declared by a subsequent law. It is implied when the new law contains provisions that are contrary to, or irreconcilable with, those of the former law.

           The repeal of a repealing law does not revive the first law.

           Acts 1987, No. 124, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1988.
