New Hampshire is quite confusing reading its statutes but I would like to know this if anyone would be kind to respond.
In the Statutes the term "person" is defined as;
Quote:
|
259:74 Person. – ""Person'' shall mean the same as provided in RSA 21:9.
|
Quote:
21:9 Person. – The word ""person'' may extend and be applied to bodies corporate and politic as well as to individuals.
Source. RS 1:8. GS 1:8. GS 1:9. GL 1:9. PS 2:9. PL 2:9. RL 7:9.

Yet in the "New Hampshire Department Of Safety" it states that it gets delegated its powers by Statute
Quote:
Saf-C 1001.13 "Person" means a human being.
Source. #2077, eff 7-4-82; ss #2801, eff 8-3-84; ss by #4647, eff 7-19-89, EXPIRED: 7-19-95
New. #6069, INTERIM, eff 7-28-95, EXPIRES: 11-25-95; ss and moved by #6120, eff 11-22-95 (formerly Saf-C 1001.10), EXPIRED: 11-22-03
New. #7995, INTERIM, eff 12-2-03, EXPIRED: 5-30-04
New. #8109, eff 6-24-04

So I guess my question is, if you arent a person defined by Statute can you be a person defined by the administrative agency? If all the powers are delegated to them by Statute?
Maybe someone can explain it to me. Seems to me there is lots of word trickery going on.
