Editor's note: This section was formerly numbered as 19-2-904. Prior to relocation in 1996, the said section 19-2-904 was contained in a title that was repealed and reenacted in 1987. Provisions of that section, as it existed in 1987, are similar to those contained in 19-1-107 as said section existed in 1986, the year prior to the repeal and reenactment of this title.
