§ 10006 Entity Definition Expansion

• •“Person” is not just a human being.
• •Corporations, companies, and firms are included in that definition.
• •Any legal duty or penalty that applies to a “person” also applies to those business entities.

A city ordinance says any person who dumps trash in the park must pay a fine. A local waste‑removal company does the dumping.

Because the law treats a company as a “person,” the waste‑removal company can be fined just like an individual would be.
