What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: strike the trailing text of section 409I(d)(1) of the Public Health Service Act and insert a new amount and set of years.

Nothing else. The section is a single sentence.

The section amends the Public Health Service Act, which is not indexed here, so what the program for pediatric studies of drugs does is not recorded on this site.
