What the document says

“This section and the amendments made by this section shall be applied and administered as if this section and those amendments had been enacted on September 30, 2025.”

The backdating closes the gap between the day the 2018 Act's authorities lapsed and the day this Act was signed, so no program is treated as having stopped in between.

What the document actually says

“This section and the amendments made by this section shall be applied and administered as if this section and those amendments had been enacted on September 30, 2025.”

Making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5002
That sentence, in plain words

Treat this part as if it became law on September 30, 2025.

What this is about

The old farm law ran out at the end of September. This law came in November. The backdating fills that gap.

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.
