1690.1 Rules of Construction

(a) The following rules of construction apply to this Article:

1. Where the context requires, the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular.

2. The use of “and” in a conjunctive provision means that all elements in the provision must be complied with or must exist in order to make the provision applicable. “Or” (rather than “and/or”) is used where compliance with one or more elements suffices, or where the existence of one or more elements makes the provision applicable.

3. “Shall” is mandatory and “may” is permissive.
