Section 5010 amends section 1078(f)(1) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. It strikes the clause that keyed the provision to two years after a third report by the Comptroller General, and inserts the words After September 30, 2026. The heading names the Technology Modernization Fund and its Board as the subject.

That sentence, in plain words

Cross out the words that tied a rule to a watchdog report. Write in these words: After September 30, 2026.

What this is about

A rule can start on a set day or when some event happens. This part swaps an event for a day. A day is easier to know.

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.
