§ 31A-1-201. Construction.

(1) This code shall be liberally construed to achieve the purposes stated in Section 31A-1-102 and under other chapters of the Insurance Code. The statements of purpose shall aid and guide interpretation but are not independent sources of power. (2) A provision of the Insurance Code relating to a particular kind of insurance or a particular type of insurer prevails over a provision relating to insurance or insurers in general if there is inconsistency between them.
