California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCGeneral ProvisionsSection 14.1
The Legislature hereby declares its intent that the terms “man” or “men” where appropriate shall be deemed “person” or “persons” and any references to the terms “man” or “men” in sections of this code be changed to “person” or “persons” when such code sections are being amended for any purpose. This act is declaratory and not amendatory of existing law.
Notes
Establishes legislative intent that “man” and “men,” where appropriate, be treated as “person” and “persons,” and that those terms be changed when affected code sections are later amended. States that the act declares existing law rather than amending it, so the provision expresses an interpretive and drafting policy rather than a new substantive rule.
