What the document says

“Section 108 of the Congressional Award Act (2 U.S.C. 808) is amended by striking ``October 1, 2023'' and inserting ``October 1, 2028''.”

To reauthorize the Congressional Award Act, Sec. 2

Subsection (a) of section 2. It strikes the date October 1, 2023 from section 108 of the Congressional Award Act (2 U.S.C. 808) and inserts the date October 1, 2028 in its place. The section carries the heading Termination. This site indexes the words this Act enacts, and the Congressional Award Act is not indexed here, so what section 108 does with that date is not recorded.

What the document actually says

“Section 108 of the Congressional Award Act (2 U.S.C. 808) is amended by striking ``October 1, 2023'' and inserting ``October 1, 2028''.”

To reauthorize the Congressional Award Act, Sec. 2
That sentence, in plain words

One line of an older law had the date October 1, 2023. This law takes that date out. It puts in October 1, 2028.

What this is about

Congress can change an old law by swapping words. Here it swaps one date for another. Only the date changes.

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, 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.
