What the document says
“Section 589a(f) of title 28, United States Code, as amended by section 3(c)(2), is amended by striking ``2026'' each place it appears and inserting ``2031''.”
This Act changes the year 2026 to 2031 wherever it appears in section 589a(f) of title 28, United States Code, working on that subsection as section 3(c)(2) of this Act has already left it. Section 589a is not indexed here, so nothing recorded says what the year governs.
What the document actually says
“Section 589a(f) of title 28, United States Code, as amended by section 3(c)(2), is amended by striking ``2026'' each place it appears and inserting ``2031''.”
That sentence, in plain words
One year is swapped for another. The year 2026 becomes 2031. This happens at every spot it shows up.
What this is about
Part three of this law changed the same rule first. This change comes after that one. The new year is five years later.

How to Read This Page
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.
