Section 769. Effect on existing laws; transition period

Subject to the
  provisions of the joint consolidation  agreement  or  elector  initiated
  consolidation  plan,  as  the  case  may  be,  pertaining  to the common
  administration and uniform enforcement of laws in the consolidated local
  government entity, all local laws, ordinances, rules or  regulations  of
  the  component local government entities in effect on the effective date
  of consolidation shall remain  in  full  force  and  effect  within  the
  respective areas of the component local government entities that existed
  prior  to consolidation, insofar as the local laws, ordinances, rules or
  regulations are not repugnant to law, until repealed or amended. As soon
  as practicable but not later than two years after the effective date  of
  consolidation,  the  governing body of the consolidated local government
  entity shall adopt new local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations  as
  necessary to redress conflicts and otherwise redress ambiguities arising
  among  the  then-existing laws, ordinances, rules or regulations for the
  common administration and uniform governance of the  consolidated  local
  government entity.
