That sentence, in plain words

Here are the first parts of the law, in order. First the name. Then this list. Then how to read the word Act. Then the report that goes with it. Then the money.

What this is about

A long law starts with a list of its parts. The list helps a reader find things. It does not tell anyone to do anything.

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.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: set out the contents of the Act, listing sections 1 through 6 and then the divisions and their titles.

The list itself, entry by entry. The divisions it names are recorded where the site indexes them, not here.

A table of contents is a finding aid. It creates no duty and changes no other law, so nothing in it depends on a document that is not indexed.
