SEC. 6. LEGISLATIVE PURPOSE AND CONSTRUCTION.
(a) NO SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE.—Sections 1–3 of this Act restate, with-
out substantive change, laws enacted before May 1, 2001, that were re-
placed by those sections. Those sections may not be construed as making
a substantive change in the laws replaced. Laws enacted after April 30,
2001, that are inconsistent with this Act supersede this Act to the extent
of the inconsistency.
