Power of court; form and effect of declaration
Sec. 1. Courts of record within their respective jurisdictions have
the power to declare rights, status, and other legal relations whether
or not further relief is or could be claimed. No action or proceeding
is open to objection on the ground that a declaratory judgment or
decree is prayed for. The declaration may be either affirmative or
negative in form and effect. The declaration has the force and effect
of a final judgment or decree.
As added by P.L.1-1998, SEC.9.
