which have heretofore been vested in or exercised by the department of
commerce and industry or any officer thereof and all rights, powers and duties
which may be imposed upon said department of commerce and industry or any
officer thereof by any law passed at this session of the legislature are
hereby vested in and shall be exercised by the department of finance. Every
act done in the exercise of such rights, powers and duties by the department
of finance shall have the same legal effect as if done by the department of
commerce and industry or its officers. Every person shall be subject to the
same obligations and duties with respect to all laws to be administered by the
department of finance under this act and shall have the same rights arising
from the exercise of such rights, powers and duties as if such rights, powers
and duties were exercised by the department of commerce and industry or its
officers. Every person shall be subject to the same penalty or penalties,
civil or criminal for failure to perform any such obligation or duty or for
doing a prohibited act as if such obligation or duty arose from or such act
were prohibited in the exercise of such right, power or duty by the department
of commerce and industry. Every officer and employee shall for any offense be
subject to the same penalty or penalties, civil or criminal as are prescribed
by existing law for the same offense by any officer or employee whose powers
or duties devolve upon him under this act. All books, records, papers,
documents, property, unexpended appropriations and pending business belonging
to or pertaining to the department of commerce and industry shall be delivered
and transferred to the department of finance.
    Whenever reports or notices are now required to be made or given or papers
or documents furnished or served by any person to or upon the department of
commerce and industry or any officers thereof, the same shall be made, given,
furnished or served in the same manner to or upon the department of finance;
and every penalty for failure so to do shall continue in effect.
    This act shall not affect any act done, ratified or confirmed or right
accrued or established or any action or proceeding had or commenced in a civil
or criminal cause by or against or in relation to the department of commerce
and industry before this act takes effect; but such actions or proceedings may
be prosecuted and continued by the department of finance.
