Code, as amended by this Act, apply only to the imposition of an | ||
administrative penalty for a violation that occurs on or after the | ||
effective date of this Act. The imposition of an administrative | ||

governed by the law as it existed on the date the offense was | ||
committed, and the former law is continued in effect for that | ||
purpose. For purposes of this section, an offense was committed | ||
before the effective date of the repeal if any element of the | ||
offense occurred before that date. | ||
