does not mean that "includes" or "including" is used
there in any different sense or that a different
legislative intent is implied by the absence of
phrases such as "but not limited to". In these
revised articles of the Code, the maxim expressio
unius est exclusio alterius and doctrines of similar
implication are not intended in any way to be made
applicable by reason of the deletion of such phrases.

(D)  PERSON.

"PERSON" MEANS AN INDIVIDUAL, RECEIVER, TRUSTEE, GUARDIAN,
PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE, FIDUCIARY, OR REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY KIND
AND ANY PARTNERSHIP, FIRM, ASSOCIATION, CORPORATION, OR OTHER
ENTITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to
set forth a broad definition of the word "person" as
used in this article.

As to the term "personal representative", see Art. 1,
§ 5 of the Code.

(E)  STATE.
"STATE" MEANS:

STATES;

(1) A STATE, POSSESSION, OR TERRITORY OF THE UNITED

(2)  THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA; OR

(3)  THE COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to
avoid repetition of phrases such as "state,
possession, territory, the District of Columbia, or
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico" and to standardize
similar references throughout this article.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code, in
revising this article, found in the former law many
different descriptions of other jurisdictions outside
of the State. On examination, the Commission
determined that these apparent differences did not
reflect legislative intent. Therefore, the Commission
uniformly applied this definition to all of these
references in this article.
