§ 10 Definition Of Terms

This law explains that the words "Section" and "Subdivision" in the code refer to the parts of the code where they appear, unless another law says otherwise.

Key Takeaways

•The word "Section" points to the specific part of the code where it is used, unless another statute says otherwise.
•The word "Subdivision" points to a smaller part of that same section, unless another section is expressly mentioned.
•If another law mentions a different section, that different section overrides the default meaning.

Example

A city ordinance says "Section 12 requires all new buildings to have fire alarms."

Here, "Section" means the twelfth part of the city's code, and "Subdivision" would be any smaller part of that twelfth part unless the ordinance specifically points to a different section.
