Simple English definitions for legal terms

reference statute

Read a random definition: fraudulent sale

A quick definition of reference statute:

A reference statute is a law made by a group of people that tells us what we can and cannot do. It can be made by a government or other group that has the power to make laws. There are many different types of reference statutes, such as laws that tell us how to behave, laws that punish people who break the rules, and laws that allow certain things to happen. Sometimes, a reference statute can refer to other laws that have already been made.

A more thorough explanation:

A reference statute is a law that incorporates and adopts provisions of other laws by reference. It is a way for lawmakers to avoid repeating the same information in multiple laws. For example, a state law may adopt the federal definition of a certain term, rather than creating its own definition.

One example of a reference statute is the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which has been adopted by all 50 states. The UCC includes provisions on various commercial transactions, such as sales of goods and negotiable instruments. Rather than each state creating its own laws on these topics, they can adopt the UCC by reference.

Another example is a building code that references other codes and standards for construction materials and methods. By adopting these codes and standards, the building code can ensure that buildings are constructed safely and to a certain standard.
