What the document says

“Section 8302(b) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (16 U.S.C. 3851a(b)) shall be applied by substituting ``October 1, 2026'' for ``October 1, 2023''.”

Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5003

Section 5003 directs that section 8302(b) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 be applied with October 1, 2026 in place of October 1, 2023. The heading names the Forest Service and the ACES program as the subject.

What the document actually says

“Section 8302(b) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (16 U.S.C. 3851a(b)) shall be applied by substituting ``October 1, 2026'' for ``October 1, 2023''.”

Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5003
That sentence, in plain words

Read one part of the 2014 farm law as if the date in it were October 1, 2026, not October 1, 2023.

What this is about

The heading points at the Forest Service and a program called ACES. This part does one thing. It swaps an old date for a later one.

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.
