(B) by inserting ``, or, with respect to 2028, 3.1 percent'' after ``1.88 percent'';”
That sentence, in plain words
Write in the words and during 2028. Then write in a rate for that year. The rate is 3.1 percent.

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.
