What the document says
“ensure adequate funding of the United States trustee system through the increase of certain fees, which will also apply to districts that are not part of a United States trustee region as required by existing law; and”
The second of the three. Congress states that the Act funds the United States trustee system by raising certain fees, and that the raised fees reach districts outside a United States trustee region as well, which it says existing law requires. The law it refers to is not named here.
What the document actually says
“ensure adequate funding of the United States trustee system through the increase of certain fees, which will also apply to districts that are not part of a United States trustee region as required by existing law; and”
That sentence, in plain words
Congress says this law raises some fees. That money keeps the trustee system running. The higher fees reach every court district.
What this is about
Most districts sit inside a trustee region. A few do not. Congress says the fees apply in both.
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.
