§ 25.53. Interpretation of source notes.
(a) Reenactment.—The term ‘‘Reenactment of . . . . .’’ when used in a source note implies that the text of the provision in the revision bill is identical with the text of the prior statute, except for purely formal changes such as the substitution of the term ‘‘subchapter’’ for the term ‘‘act,’’ substitution of cross reference language to reflect renumbering, addition of section and subsection headings and the like.
(b) Substantially a reenactment.—The term ‘‘Substantially a reenactment of . . . . .’’ when used in a source note implies that, although the text of the provision in the revision bill has been rewritten, the effect of the provision is substantially the same as that of the prior statute.
(c) Derived.—The term ‘‘Derived from . . . . .’’ when used in a source note implies that the provision in the revision bill constitutes a revision of the prior statutes on the same subject, and may effect significant changes in the content of the prior law.
(d) Patterned.—The term ‘‘Patterned after . . . . .’’ when used in a source note implies that the provision in the revision bill is new, and has been based, in whole or in part, upon the cited source.
