Beneficial construction allows courts to prefer broader statutory meanings to fulfill legislative purpose where language permits.
Courts may adopt a beneficial construction, relaxing strictly literal principles to attribute a wider meaning to words that are fairly susceptible of such extension, preferring an interpretation that more fully effects legislative purpose over a narrower reading that frustrates it, provided the expanded meaning is reasonably open on the text and does not amount to supplying omissions the statute itself does not permit.
