Indiana Code 31-10-1-4. Recodification of prior family law and juvenile law
(1) inserting, deleting, or substituting words, punctuation, or other matters of style in the recodification act of the 1997 regular session of the general assembly; or
(2) using any other rule of statutory construction;
as necessary or appropriate to apply the recodification act of the 1997 regular session of the general assembly in a manner that does not result in a substantive change in the law. The principle of statutory construction that a court must apply the literal meaning of an act if the literal meaning of the act is unambiguous does not apply to the recodification act of the 1997 regular session of the general assembly to the extent that the recodification act of the 1997 regular session of the general assembly is not substantively identical to the prior family law and juvenile law.
