§ 10 Code References Construction

This law says that if any part of the vehicle code or other laws are mentioned, it includes all past and future changes to those laws.

Key Takeaways

  • •If a law mentions another law, it includes all updates to that law.
  • •Old rules and new changes are treated as one.
  • •This keeps laws up-to-date without rewriting everything.

Example

If a new rule says you must wear a seatbelt, and later they add that kids under 8 need a special seat, this law means both rules count.

Even if the seatbelt rule was written years ago, updates like the kid seat rule are part of it too.
