The document discusses several principles of statutory interpretation used when interpreting and applying one statute in relation to another: - Words used in an earlier statute that were authoritatively interpreted by courts are presumed to have the same meaning when used in a similar context in a later statute. - If a statute uses words that appeared in an earlier statute on the same subject, the words are presumed to have the meaning given by previous judicial decisions. - A later statute may help resolve ambiguity in an earlier statute, but does not alter the meaning of the earlier clear language. - Provisions incorporated by reference from one statute into another become part of the latter as if included verbatim.
