Nothing in this division shall be construed or interpreted to mean that this division in any way gives a financial institution the authority to offer or sell any type of security that it could not otherwise offer or sell under state or federal law.
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.
