Practice question

- The express transition clause must be applied rather than assuming prejudicial retroactive removal
- The lower age automatically destroys every existing favorable term
- All grants become void at effectivity
- Only the administrator may decide the statutory meaning
- Section4 concerns only criminal penalties
