§ 15.47. Subsections.
(a) Use. Sections may be subdivided into subsections to effectuate a division of the subject matter of the section. Subsections are statements or groups of statements, complete in themselves, that might well constitute separate sections. Unless there is a compelling reason to group a number of separate propositions as subsections into one section it is preferable to make them separate sections. Except where the style of the Consolidated Pennsylvania Statutes is followed, the first line of subsection (a) begins on the same line and immediately following the section number and heading, if any. The first lines of subsequent subsections begin on a separate line.
(b) Heading. Subsections may, but do not usually, contain headings following the subsection letter and concluded by a period, followed by a dash.
(c) Addition of new subsection. If it becomes necessary to introduce a new subsection between existing subsections, the new subsection is designated by the addition of a period and number suffix to the preceding subsection letter. Thus, a subsection introduced between subsections (a) and (b) would be lettered subsection (a.1).
