§ 1-106. Catchlines and headings; construction.

(a)

All designations and headings of parts, chapters, articles, divisions and sections are intended only for convenience in arrangement and as mere catchwords to indicate the contents of such parts, chapters, articles, divisions or sections, whether printed in capital letters or bold face type. They shall not be deemed or taken to be any part or title of such parts, chapters, articles, divisions or sections; nor, unless expressly so provided, shall they be so deemed upon amendment or reenactment; nor shall they be construed to govern, limit, modify, alter or in any other manner affect the scope, meaning or intent of any of the provisions of this Code.

(b)

The history or source notes appearing in parentheses after sections in this Code have no legal effect and only indicate legislative history. Editor's notes, 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.
