§ 1924. Construction of titles, preambles, provisos, exceptions and headings.
The title and preamble of a statute may be considered in the construction thereof. Provisos shall be construed to limit rather than to extend the operation of the clauses to which they refer. Exceptions expressed in a statute shall be construed to exclude all others. The headings prefixed to titles, parts, articles, chapters, sections and other divisions of a statute shall not be considered to control but may be used to aid in the construction thereof.
Cross References. Section 1924 is referred to in section 1107 of Title 13 (Commercial Code).
