What the document says
“Sections 7(j)(5), 7A(l)(4), and 21(e) of the United States Grain Standards Act (7 U.S.C. 79(j)(5), 79a(l)(4), 87j(e)) shall be applied by substituting "January 30, 2026" for "September 30, 2025" each place it appears.”
Subsection (a) does not rewrite the United States Grain Standards Act. It directs that three of its sections be read with a later date wherever the older one appears, so the authorities they carry run to the same day as the short-term funding in division A.
What the document actually says
“Sections 7(j)(5), 7A(l)(4), and 21(e) of the United States Grain Standards Act (7 U.S.C. 79(j)(5), 79a(l)(4), 87j(e)) shall be applied by substituting "January 30, 2026" for "September 30, 2025" each place it appears.”
That sentence, in plain words
Three parts of the grain law are read with a new date. Where they said September 30, 2025, read January 30, 2026.
What this is about
The grain law had powers that were set to end. This law does not change the words. It just says to read a later date.
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.
