That sentence, in plain words

To rescind is to cancel money already voted. Only what has not been committed can be taken back this way.

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.
