That sentence, in plain words

Do not write the cost of these parts on either of the two score sheets kept under a 2010 budget law.

What this is about

A score sheet tracks whether new laws add to the deficit. If a cost goes on it, cuts can follow. This part keeps the cost off.

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.
