Corp. Code, § 25704

(a) Except as expressly provided in this section, prior law exclusively governs all suits, actions, prosecutions or proceedings which are pending or may be initiated on the basis of facts or circumstances occurring before the effective date of this law.

(b) No civil suit or action may be maintained to enforce any liability or to establish that any securities are void under prior law unless brought within any period of limitation which applied when the cause of action accrued and, in any event, within three years after the effective date of this law.

(c) All effective permits, certificates, orders, consents, and registrations under prior law, all administrative orders relating to the same and all conditions imposed upon the same remain in effect so long as they would have remained in effect if this law had not been enacted. They are considered to have been filed, entered, or imposed under this law, but are governed by prior law. Certificates dated as of January 1, 1969, may be issued by the commissioner after the effective date of this law pursuant to applications filed prior thereto and shall be considered to have been issued under the prior law. Applications for permits filed prior to January 1, 1969, may subsequently be processed without amendment if they comply with prior law, but thereafter shall be otherwise governed by this law.

(d) Judicial review of all administrative orders as to which review proceedings have not been instituted by the effective date of this law are governed by Section 25609, except that no review proceeding may be instituted unless the petition is filed within any period of limitation which applied to a review proceeding when the order was entered.
