What is the test for determining whether the language of the California Small Business Code has been interpreted to have more than one reasonable meaning?

If the language of the statute is clear, it is applied without further inquiry. ( Aleman v. AirTouch Cellular (2012) 209 Cal.App.4th 556, 568, 146 Cal.Rptr.3d 849.) If the language can be interpreted to have more than one reasonable meaning, a court may consider " a variety of extrinsic aids, including the ostensible objects to be achieved, the evils to be remedied, the legislative history, public policy, contemporaneous administrative construction, and the statutory scheme of which the statute is a part.
