What the document says

“Notwithstanding the amendments made by this title, part 10 of subchapter C of chapter VII of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 379j-71 et seq.), as in effect on the day before the date of enactment of this Act, shall continue to be in effect with respect to assessing and collecting any fee required by such part for a fiscal year prior to fiscal year 2026.”

Making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 6511

Without this clause the new text would govern the collection of fees that were set under the old text. The clause keeps the two apart.

What the document actually says

“Notwithstanding the amendments made by this title, part 10 of subchapter C of chapter VII of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 379j-71 et seq.), as in effect on the day before the date of enactment of this Act, shall continue to be in effect with respect to assessing and collecting any fee required by such part for a fiscal year prior to fiscal year 2026.”

That sentence, in plain words

For any year before 2026, the old words still apply. They govern the setting and taking of those fees.

What this is about

New rules can leave old bills in doubt. This says old bills follow the rules that were in force at the time.

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.
