  nineteen hundred fifty-eight or nineteen hundred fifty-nine, which
    (a) Repeals or purports to repeal any provision  of  law  codified  or
  amended  by  this chapter, shall be legally effective and the provisions

  or  repealed by this chapter, shall be legally effective and controlling

    (1) in the case of a provision of law  codified  or  amended  by  this
  chapter,  such act also shall be construed as a further amendment of the
  corresponding provision as so codified or amended by  this  chapter  and
  such  corresponding provision shall be deemed and construed to have been
  further amended as though the same had been expressly and  in  terms  so
  amended, or
    (2)  in  the case of a provision of law repealed by this chapter, such
  repealer by this chapter shall not take effect  and  such  amendment  by
  such  act  of  the  legislature  shall  be  deemed to amend this chapter
  accordingly, given full effect according to its context as if  the  same
  had  expressly  and  in  terms  amended  this chapter, and be deemed and
  construed to have been inserted in this chapter in juxtaposition to and,
  where  appropriate,  as  modifying  the  effect  of  the   corresponding

  legally effective and also shall be construed as having  been  added  to
  this  chapter, given full effect according to its context as if the same
  had been added expressly and in terms to this chapter, and be deemed and
  construed to have been inserted in this chapter in juxtaposition to and,
  where  appropriate,  as  modifying  the  effect  of  the   corresponding
  provision or provisions of this chapter.

  extend or  be  construed  to  extend  the  existence  of  the  temporary
  commission  created  by  chapter  three hundred forty-six of the laws of
  nineteen hundred forty-nine, as amended, nor shall this  chapter  affect
  or  impair  any  right, power or duty of any state department or agency,
  upon the expiration of the existence of such  temporary  commission,  to
  exercise  and  discharge the rights, powers and duties of such temporary
