This part changes a date in an older law. It takes out one date and puts in a later one. The old date was October 1, 2023. The new date is October 1, 2028. The change counts as if it had been made back in 2023.
The document says “is amended”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
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''.”
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''.”
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.
The document says “shall”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“The amendment made by subsection (a) shall take effect as if enacted on October 1, 2023.”
Subsection (b) of section 2. It sets the effective date of the amendment made by subsection (a) as though the amendment had been enacted on October 1, 2023, rather than on the day the Act was approved. The Act was approved on December 26, 2025.
What the document actually says
“The amendment made by subsection (a) shall take effect as if enacted on October 1, 2023.”
That sentence, in plain words
The date change counts as if it had been made on October 1, 2023.
What this is about
This law was signed in December 2025. But the change looks back to 2023. So there is no gap in between.
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.
The two things the section does: the strike and insert worked on section 108 of the Congressional Award Act, and the effective date rule that puts the change back to October 1, 2023.
Nothing in the section is left out. It runs to two subsections and both are recorded.
The section works by amending section 108 of the Congressional Award Act (2 U.S.C. 808), and that Act is not indexed here, so nothing recorded here says what section 108 does with the date it carries. A reader following the citation will find the older date until this amendment is applied.
