Cal. Civ. Code § 170-15-1-2
Sec. 2. "Dwelling unit" has the meaning as set forth in IC 8-1-2-1.2(f).
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 170-15-1-2 of Indiana's 170 IAC 15 establishes the regulatory meaning of the term "dwelling unit" by directing readers to the definition already codified in Indiana Code IC 8-1-2-1.2(f). Rather than creating a new or independent definition, this provision anchors the term's meaning to an existing statutory source, ensuring consistency across Indiana utility and housing regulation. The practical effect is that any interpretation of "dwelling unit" within 170 IAC 15 must align with the definition found in that referenced statute.
