This law defines the word "county" wherever it's used. It says "county" also means a parish. It covers any similar subdivision of a state or U.S. territory.

This section is a rule about one word: "county." Wherever the word "county" is used, this section says it also includes a parish — the term some states use instead of "county." It also includes any other subdivision of a state or a U.S. territory that works the same way, even if that subdivision goes by a different name.
