INDEX TO CODE
(References are to section numbers)
USE OF INDEX: This index is designed for user ease. To locate information found in the code, formulate a specific question. The key words in that question then become guides for using the index. In the event you do not locate the desired information on your first attempt, the following checklist may help.
(1) Cross references (when needed) are always located at the beginning of entries. Have you overlooked any?
(2) Frequently initial questions are too general. Reformulating a more specific question may help.
(3) Definitions can be located under the "DEFINITIONS" main heading or in specific subject areas through the subheading "Definitions of terms."
