What the document says

“in subclause (I)-- (i) by inserting ``the greater of'' before ``0.4''”

To amend titles 11 and 28, United States Code, to modify the compensation payable to trustees serving in cases under chapter 7 of title 11, United States Code, to extend the term of certain temporary offices of bankruptcy judges, and for other purposes, Sec. 4

The first change to subclause (I) of clause (ii). This Act inserts the words the greater of ahead of the figure 0.4. The subclause itself is in section 1930 of title 28, United States Code, which is not indexed here.

What the document actually says

“in subclause (I)-- (i) by inserting ``the greater of'' before ``0.4''”

To amend titles 11 and 28, United States Code, to modify the compensation payable to trustees serving in cases under chapter 7 of title 11, United States Code, to extend the term of certain temporary offices of bankruptcy judges, and for other purposes, Sec. 4
That sentence, in plain words

Three words are put into an older rule. The words are the greater of. They go in front of the number 0.4.

What this is about

The greater of means: pick the bigger one. So the rule now weighs two amounts. This law does not print the rest of that rule.

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.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
