What the document says
“(1) by redesignating paragraphs (1) through (5) as subparagraphs (A) through (E), respectively, and indenting appropriately;”
The first of the five items, and it changes labels only. Paragraphs numbered (1) through (5) become subparagraphs lettered (A) through (E), in the same order, and the indentation moves to match. The items that follow refer back to this one with the phrase as so redesignated.
What the document actually says
“(1) by redesignating paragraphs (1) through (5) as subparagraphs (A) through (E), respectively, and indenting appropriately;”
That sentence, in plain words
The old law had five parts with numbers. This change gives them letters instead. It also moves them over on the page.
What this is about
Laws use numbers and letters to mark their parts. Changing the marks does not change the words. It makes room for new parts later.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
