§ 1-3. Section catchlines and other headings.

(a)

The catchlines of the several sections of this Code, printed in boldface type, are intended as mere catchwords to indicate the contents of the section and are not titles of such sections, or of any part of the section, nor, unless expressly so provided, shall they be so deemed when any such section, including the catchline, is amended or reenacted.

(b)

The history or source notes appearing in parentheses after sections in this Code have no legal effect and only indicate legislative history. Charter references, cross references and state law references that appear in this Code after sections or subsections, or that otherwise appear in footnote form, are provided for the convenience of the user of the Code and have no legal effect.

(c)

Unless specified otherwise, all references to chapters, articles, divisions and subdivisions or sections are to chapters or sections of this Code.

(d)

No provision of this Code shall be held invalid by reason of deficiency in any chapter, article, division, subdivision or section heading.
