§ 14062 Department Definition

• •This part of the law talks about the 'department'—it means the State Department of Health Services.
• •It’s just telling us who they’re talking about when they say 'department' in this section.
• •This was updated a long time ago, in 1977.

Imagine you’re reading a rulebook for schools, and every time it says 'the office,' it means the principal’s office.

Here, whenever the law says 'department,' it’s talking about the State Department of Health Services. It’s just a shortcut word.
