What the document says
“is amended by striking "On a quarterly basis during the two-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act," and inserting "On a quarterly basis during the period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act and ending on December 31, 2026,".”
The section amends section 202(b)(2) of the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-168), commonly called the PACT Act.

That sentence, in plain words
Words setting a two year run come out. Words ending the run on December 31, 2026 go in.
What this is about

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.
