Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 25, June 22, 2024
Section 25.13 - Insertion of scope provisions(a)General rule.-The revision bill should be examined to identify broad exceptions, exclusions or exemptions applicable to parts, chapters, subchapters or other major subdivisions and in each case an appropriate scope provision should be drafted and inserted at the beginning of the affected major subdivision.(b)Violators.-Care should be taken so as to avoid the drafting error of rendering a major subdivision technically inapplicable to persons who violate the provisions thereof. This error occurs where a major subdivision is stated to be applicable to a defined class of persons and the definition of the class is so drawn as to include only licensed or authorized persons. The preferred solution is to render the major subdivision expressly applicable to violators, as follows:(a) General rule.-This chapter applies to every fraternal benefit society and to every person who violates any provision of this chapter.
