Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 25, June 22, 2024
Section 15.48 - Paragraphs and subparagraphs(a)Use. Subsections may be subdivided into paragraphs and paragraphs into subparagraphs. Paragraphs and subparagraphs may consist of statements or groups of statements complete in themselves or may consist of enumerations of circumstances, conditions, powers, etc., each depending on preliminary language applicable to all for a complete grammatical sentence. The latter form of expression is very desirable to indicate the coordination of the various provisions, as well as to simplify and shorten the statute. The first line of a paragraph and subparagraph begins on a separate line.(b)Addition of new units. If it becomes necessary to introduce a paragraph between existing paragraphs or a subparagraph between existing paragraphs, the entire subsection or paragraph, as the case may be, should be revised. Otherwise, the system of numbering prescribed for the addition of subsections should be followed.
