What the document says
“None of the funds made available by this or any other Act may be used to regulate the lead content of ammunition, ammunition components, or fishing tackle under the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.) or any other law.”
The whole of section 435 of division C. It bars money in this or any other Act from being used to regulate the lead content of ammunition, ammunition components or fishing tackle, whether under the Toxic Substances Control Act or under any other law.
What the document actually says
“None of the funds made available by this or any other Act may be used to regulate the lead content of ammunition, ammunition components, or fishing tackle under the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.) or any other law.”
That sentence, in plain words
No money may be used to set rules on lead in bullets or fishing weights. That holds under any law.
What this is about
Lead is a poison and is controlled in many products. This keeps two products out of that. The rule reaches money in every law, not just this one.

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.
