True or False: The Code Construction Act applies to all current statutes.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not applicable to any statutes
• D. Only applies to statutes enacted after 1990

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that the Code Construction Act provides general rules for interpreting statutes and is intended to govern how statutes are understood across the ones that are currently in effect. Because its purpose is to create a uniform approach to interpreting the law, it applies to all statutes that are in force now. It isn’t limited by a specific enactment date or by only certain types of statutes. That said, if a particular statute includes its own construction provisions or definitions that override the general rules, those specific provisions can control for that statute. But absent such overrides, the Act’s rules apply to current statutes.

So the statement is true: the Code Construction Act applies to all current statutes. The other options don’t fit because they either imply limitations (only post-1990 statutes, or not applicable to any statutes) or misstate the scope of the Act.
