§ 109995 Definition Of Person

This law explains who counts as a 'person' under the law. It includes people, businesses, groups, and even parts of the government.

Key Takeaways

•A 'person' isn't just one human—it can be a business, a group, or even part of the government.
•If a company or organization does something wrong, they can be punished just like a regular person.
•This rule helps make sure everyone, no matter how big or small, follows the same laws.

Example

If a big company like Apple or a small local shop breaks a rule, they can be held responsible just like a single person would.

The law treats companies, groups, and even government offices the same way it treats individuals when it comes to following rules.

“Person” means any individual, firm, partnership, trust, corporation, limited liability company, company, estate, public or private institution, association, organization, group, city, county, city and county, political subdivision of this state, other governmental agency within the state, and any representative, agent, or agency of any of the foregoing. (Added by Stats. 1995, Ch. 415, Sec. 6. Effective January 1, 1996.)
