9041. This Division 9 of the Public Resources Code, insofar as it is substantially the same as the Division 9 of that code repealed upon the enactment of this Division 9, shall be construed as a restatement and continuation of the existing law and not as a new enactment nor shall anything in this division impair the validity, the rights, or the obligations of any district formed prior to the effective date of this act. 9042. No action or proceeding relating to or arising out of the Division 9 of the Public Resources Code repealed upon the enactment of this Division 9 commenced before the effective date of this Division 9, and no right accrued, pursuant to that repealed Division 9, is affected by the provisions of this Division 9, but any step thereafter taken in such action or proceeding shall conform to the provisions of this Division 9 insofar as is possible. 9043. All persons who, at the time this Division 9 (commencing with Section 9001) goes into effect, are officers or employees of a soil conservation district operating under the Division 9 repealed upon the enactment of this Division 9 shall continue to be officers or employees, of a resource conservation district as though Division 9 had not been repealed. 9044.
