Sec. 5. The recodification act of the 1995 regular session of the general assembly shall be construed as a recodification of prior natural resources law. If the literal meaning of the recodification act of the 1995 regular session of the general assembly would result in a substantive change in the prior natural resources law, the difference shall be construed as a typographical, spelling, or other clerical error that must be corrected by:
(1) inserting, deleting, or substituting words, punctuation, or other matters of style in the recodification act of the 1995 regular session of the general assembly; and
(2) using any other rule of statutory construction;
as necessary or appropriate to apply the recodification act of the 1995 regular session of the general assembly in a manner that does not result in a substantive change in the law. The principle of statutory construction that a court must apply the literal meaning of an act if the literal meaning of the act is unambiguous does not apply to the recodification act of the 1995 regular session of the general assembly to the extent that the recodification act of the 1995 regular session of the general assembly is not substantively identical to the prior natural resources law.

Sec. 9. (a) A reference in the recodification act of the 1995 regular session of the general assembly to a citation in the prior natural resources law before its repeal is added in certain sections of the recodification act of the 1995 regular session of the general assembly only as an aid to the reader.
(b) The inclusion or omission in the recodification act of the 1995 regular session of the general assembly of a reference to a citation in the prior natural resources law before its repeal does not affect:
(1) any rights or liabilities accrued;
(2) any penalties incurred;
(3) any violations committed;
(4) any proceedings begun;
(5) any bonds, notes, loans, or other forms of indebtedness issued, incurred, or made;
(6) any tax levies made;
(7) any funds established;
(8) any patents issued;
(9) the validity, continuation, or termination of contracts or leases executed; or
(10) the validity, continuation, scope, termination, suspension, or revocation of:

Those rights, liabilities, penalties, offenses, proceedings, bonds, notes, loans, other forms of indebtedness, tax levies, funds, patents, contracts, leases, licenses, permits, certificates of registration, and other grants of authority continue and shall be imposed and enforced under prior natural resources law as if the recodification act of the 1995 regular session of the general assembly had not been enacted.
(c) The inclusion or omission in the recodification act of the 1995 regular session of the general assembly of a citation to a provision in the prior natural resources law does not affect the use of a prior conviction, violation, or noncompliance under the prior natural resources law as the basis for revocation of a license, permit, certificate of registration, or other grant of authority under the recodification act of the 1995 regular session of the general assembly, as necessary or appropriate to apply the recodification act of the 1995 regular session of the general assembly in a manner that does not result in a substantive change in the law.
