§ 10001 Part Definitions Scope

The words that are defined in this chapter only matter for the rules in this part, unless the law says otherwise.

Key Takeaways

•Definitions in this chapter are limited to this part of the law.
•They don't change how words are used in other parts of the code.
•Only if the law says otherwise can a definition apply elsewhere.

Example

A law defines "vehicle" as a car, truck, or motorcycle in this chapter. That definition only applies to the rules in this part, not to other parts of the code that also talk about vehicles.

So if another part of the law talks about "vehicle" and doesn't give its own definition, it can't use the definition from this chapter; it has to use its own rules or none at all.
