§ 23.27. Reservation of numbers.
(a) General rule.—Chapter numbers should be spaced to allow for expansion and a minimum of one number, the even number, should be omitted between chapters of a new or revised part, subpart, article, division or subdivision. Where subchapters are used, section numbers should be spaced to allow for expansion and the first section in each subchapter should end with the number ‘‘1’’ (e.g. 101, 111, 121, etc.).
(b) Uniform laws.—When incorporating uniform laws into the Statutes, spacing between chapter numbers and section numbers may be omitted where it is desirable to maintain the same numbering system of the uniform law to simplify comparison between the provision of the uniform law and the comparable provisions of the Statutes.
