§ 18351 Definitions For Chapter Construction

This law says that the definitions used in this part of the law control how the rules are interpreted, unless something else in the law says otherwise.

Key Takeaways

•Definitions in the article control how the chapter is read.
•This control only changes if the context clearly requires a different meaning.
•The rule applies to the entire chapter unless stated otherwise.

Example

A rule says 'vehicle' must have a license plate. Because of this law, 'vehicle' is defined elsewhere in the chapter, so that definition is used for all rules in the chapter.

If the chapter defines 'vehicle' as a car, then every rule that mentions 'vehicle' in this chapter means a car, unless the rule itself says a different meaning.
