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.

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.
