Blank Outline Levels × The legislature occasionally skips outline levels. For example: (3) A person may apply [...] (4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...] In this example, (3) , (4) , and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but (4) was omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've decided to display a blank section with this note, in order to aide readability. Trust but verify.
