33 U.S.C. § 2751 — Savings provision

(a) A reference to a law replaced by this Act, including in a regulation, order, or law, means the matching provision of this Act. (b) An order, rule, or regulation under the replaced law continues under the matching provision until repealed, changed, or replaced. (c) The caption or catch line of a provision does not establish how Congress meant to interpret it. (d) Except as this section provides, the Act does not apply to rights or duties that matured, penalties incurred, or proceedings begun before August 18, 1990. Those matters are decided under the law in effect before that date. (e) Unless this Act says otherwise, it does not affect (1) admiralty or maritime law or (2) United States district-court jurisdiction over civil actions under admiralty and maritime jurisdiction. In those cases, other remedies available to suitors remain available.
