Section 7.5 Of Preliminary Provisions From California Penal Code
7.5
. Whenever any offense is described in this code, the Uniform
Controlled Substances Act (Division 10 (commencing with Section
11000) of the Health and Safety Code), or the Welfare and
Institutions Code, as criminal conduct and as a violation of a
specified code section or a particular provision of a code section,
in the case of any ambiguity or conflict in interpretation, the code
section or particular provision of the code section shall take
precedence over the descriptive language. The descriptive language
shall be deemed as being offered only for ease of reference unless it
is otherwise clearly apparent from the context that the descriptive
language is intended to narrow the application of the referenced code
section or particular provision of the code section.
