§ 14201 Definition Of Terms

This law says that the meanings given to words in this article are used to understand the rest of the chapter, unless something else in the chapter clearly says otherwise.

Key Takeaways

•Definitions in this article tell you what words mean for the whole chapter.
•Those definitions are used unless the chapter itself says a different meaning is needed.
•It helps keep the chapter’s rules clear and consistent.

Example

A later section of the chapter talks about a "vehicle" and the article defines "vehicle" as any motorized transport. The definition will be used to decide what counts as a vehicle, unless that later section specifically says a different meaning applies.

Because the article’s definitions control, the word "vehicle" is read as the defined meaning, unless the later part of the chapter says something different.
