The whole of section 1. It supplies a short name for citing the Act and does nothing else. The Act began as S. 284 in the 119th Congress and was approved on December 26, 2025, as Public Law 119-66.
What the document actually says
“This Act may be cited as the ``Congressional Award Program Reauthorization Act''.”
That sentence, in plain words
This law has a short name. People may call it by that name. It is the Congressional Award Program Reauthorization Act.
What this is about
Laws get short names so people can talk about them. A short name does not change any rule. It is just a label.

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.
