May 16, 1992, D.C. Law 9-98, § 2, 39 DCR 678.

Because of the codification of D.C. Law 20-34 as subchapter II of this chapter, the preexisting text, §§ 27-101 through 27-106, has been designated as subchapter I; and "subchapter" has been substituted for "chapter" in the introductory language of this section.
