What the document says
“is amended by striking "September 30, 2025" and inserting "January 30, 2026".”
The section amends section 1860D-2(e)(1)(C) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w-102(e)(1)(C)), which brings certain authorized oral antiviral drugs within the definition of a covered Part D drug for a limited time.
What the document actually says
“is amended by striking "September 30, 2025" and inserting "January 30, 2026".”
That sentence, in plain words
One date in the law is taken out. A later one is put in.
What this is about
Part D is the Medicare drug plan. These pills were let in for a while. That while now runs to the end of January 2026.
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.
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.
