Full Text of § 1235.030
Plain-English Summary
Statutes change over time, and cross-references inside them need to keep up. Section 1235.030 makes sure they do: whenever a reference in this title points to some other part of the title, or to a separate statute altogether, that reference automatically includes every amendment and addition made to the referenced provision -- whether the change happened before or after the reference itself was written.
Practically, this means a cross-reference doesn't freeze in time. If a statute referenced by, say, § 1235.193's cross-reference to the Public Utilities Code is later amended, the reference in this title still reaches the amended version without needing its own update.
Frequently Asked Questions
If a statute referenced in the Eminent Domain Law is later amended, does the cross-reference still work?
Yes. Section 1235.030 makes every reference to a portion of this title or to another statute automatically include later amendments and additions.
Does this rule work only for amendments made after the reference was written?
No, it reaches amendments and additions made either before or after the reference, described in the statute as those made "heretofore or hereafter."
