A. A statute or rule is construed, if possible, to:
(1) give effect to its objective and purpose;
(2) give effect to its entire text; and
(3) avoid an unconstitutional, absurd or unachievable result.
B. A statute that is intended to be uniform with those of other states is construed to effectuate that purpose with respect to the subject of the statute.
C. The presumption that a civil statute in derogation of the common law is construed strictly does not apply to a statute of this state.
