No. 19366
The State ex rel. Board of Education of the City School District of the City of Cincinnati, Ohio, v. Samuel Ach et al.
In Mandamus.
70. AMENDMENT—Where procedure of governmental agency is changed by legislative enactment, it amounts to amendment of the laws theretofore existing; and subject to rule of interpretation provided by 26 GC.

Opinion:
MARSHALL, C. J.
1. Where a legislative enactment materially changes the procedure required to be followed by any governmental agency, by requiring certain steps to be taken which were not theretofore necessary, such legislation amounts to an amendment of the laws theretofore existing and is therefore subject to the rule of interpretation provided by section 26 of the General Code.
2. Section 5654-1 of the General Code, which became effective July 23, 1925, does not control the action of a board of education in the matter of the issuance of bonds which had been authorized, advertised for sale and awarded to the successful bidder on July 13, 1925.
Writ allowed.
Jones, Matthias, Day, Allen and Kinkade, JJ., concur. Robinson, J., not participating.
