§ 22002 Statutory Definitions And Scope

• •This section says that the words and rules in this part of the law should be understood using the definitions given in this chapter.
• •If something in this part of the law doesn't make sense with these definitions, then you might need to look at the context to understand it.
• •This section was changed in 1955.

Imagine you're reading a rule about 'vehicles' in this part of the law.

Instead of guessing what 'vehicle' means, you look at the definitions chapter. It might say 'vehicle' means cars, trucks, and motorcycles. So, you know the rule applies to those things.
