§ 103019 Definition Of Person

This law says that when the word “person” is used, it means anyone from a single person to a company, partnership, trust, or similar group, but it does NOT include a government agency.

Key Takeaways

•“Person” covers individuals, companies, partnerships, LLCs, trusts, and similar groups.
•It also covers anyone acting as a receiver, trustee, or conservator for those groups.
•Public agencies (like a city or state department) are NOT counted as “person” under this definition.

Example

A city passes a rule that says “no person may dump trash in the park.”

The rule applies to you, a family business, or a corporation, but the city’s own government office is not covered because it’s a public agency.
