(a)

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

The history or source notes appearing in parentheses after sections in this Code are not intended to have any legal effect but are merely intended to indicate the source of matter contained in the section. Cross references and state law references which appear after sections or subsections of this Code or which otherwise appear in footnote form are provided for the convenience of the user of this Code and have no legal effect.

(c)

All references to chapters, articles or sections are to the chapters, articles and sections of this Code unless otherwise specified.
