of <h1>Declaratory statutes clarify existing law with retrospective effect, correcting judicial interpretation errors through legislative intervention</h1> Declaratory statutes are legislative provisions that remove doubts about common law or statutory meaning and effect. These statutes typically have retrospective operation, unlike regular legislation. They are usually enacted to correct perceived judicial errors in interpreting existing law. Key characteristics include preambles and words like 'declared' and 'enacted,' though these terms alone don't conclusively establish declaratory nature. Courts examine substance over form when determining if a statute is declaratory. Explanatory acts that clarify previous legislation or supply obvious omissions are generally given retrospective effect. However, clear and unambiguous provisions won't be construed as declaratory without explicit language indicating such intent.
