## What this means (mechanical reading aid, not legal advice)

- The passage runs to about 654 words.
- **Caveat:** The index holds no article number for this record. Cite the passage itself rather than a section number.
- **Caveat:** No rights vocabulary from our fixed word list appears in this passage, so no plain-language reading is offered for it.

> This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
