§ 24-1-129. Effect of transfer of powers, duties, and functions

Any principal department to which powers, duties, and functions of any existing department, institution, or other agency are transferred or any division, section, or unit of any principal department to which such powers, duties, and functions are allocated shall be the successor in every way with respect to such powers, duties, and functions of the department, institution, or other agency in which such powers, duties, and functions were vested prior to July 1, 1968, except as otherwise provided by this article. Every act performed in the exercise of such powers, duties, and functions by or under the authority of the principal department or any division, section, or unit thereof to which such powers, duties, and functions are transferred or allocated by this article shall be deemed to have the same force and effect as if performed by the department, institution, or other agency in which such functions were vested prior to July 1, 1968. When any such department, institution, or other agency is referred to or designated by any law, contract, or other document, such reference or designation shall be deemed to apply to the principal department or the division, section, or unit thereof in which the powers, duties, and functions of such department, institution, or other agency so referred to or designated are vested by the provisions of this article.
