Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 14-2099 of the D.C. Municipal Regulations establishes that the definitions used in this chapter are drawn directly from section 1799 of the same subtitle, incorporating those terms by reference rather than restating them. This means that any defined term relevant to this chapter carries the same meaning as it does under section 1799. The provision functions as a cross-reference anchor, ensuring definitional consistency across the subtitle.
