Plain-English Summary
Section 25-2506 is a short construction rule that closes out Article 25. It states that sections 25-2501 to 25-2506 are to be construed as cumulative and independent legislation and complete in themselves.
That instruction tells a court or agency reading these sections not to treat them as merely supplementing some other statute, or as needing another law’s provisions to make sense. The notice and hearing procedure stands on its own, in addition to whatever other requirements might otherwise apply to a given acquisition.
Frequently Asked Questions

Why include a construction section like this at all?

Does this section add any new notice or hearing requirement?
No. It is an interpretive instruction, not a substantive requirement of its own.
