What the document says

“Sections 7(j)(5), 7A(l)(4), and 21(e) of the United States Grain Standards Act (7 U.S.C. 79(j)(5), 79a(l)(4), 87j(e)) shall be applied by substituting ``September 30, 2026'' for ``September 30, 2025'' each place it appears.”

Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5001

Section 5001 directs that sections 7(j)(5), 7A(l)(4) and 21(e) of the United States Grain Standards Act be applied with September 30, 2026 in place of September 30, 2025, everywhere that date appears in them. It does not change the words of that Act; it changes how those provisions are applied.

What the document actually says

“Sections 7(j)(5), 7A(l)(4), and 21(e) of the United States Grain Standards Act (7 U.S.C. 79(j)(5), 79a(l)(4), 87j(e)) shall be applied by substituting ``September 30, 2026'' for ``September 30, 2025'' each place it appears.”

Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5001
That sentence, in plain words

Read three parts of the grain law as if the date in them were September 30, 2026, not September 30, 2025.

What this is about

Some rules end on a set day. Rather than write the old law over, Congress says to read a later day. The rules keep running for one more year.

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.
