statutory provision (When a state or federal legislature passes a law, it becomes known as a statute. Some statutes direct an act, such as those requiring people to have a license while driving a car. Others forbid an act, such as statutes prohibiting the murder of another person without a legal justification such as self-defense. Statutory provisions expand upon the subject matter and describe when the law applies, to whom the law applies and the penalty for violating the law. legalbeagle.com Alexander Demidov) |
