What the document says
“is amended by striking "the date that is three years after the date on which the first grant is awarded under this section" and inserting "September 30, 2026".”
The section amends section 201(j) of the Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act of 2019 (Public Law 116-171). The old end date moved with the award of the first grant. The new one is a fixed day.
What the document actually says
“is amended by striking "the date that is three years after the date on which the first grant is awarded under this section" and inserting "September 30, 2026".”
That sentence, in plain words
A long phrase that tied the end to the first grant comes out. A fixed date goes in.
What this is about
The old wording made the end date hard to work out. Now it is one day on the calendar.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
