What the document says
“The amendments made by this division, except for the amendments made by section 7307, shall take effect as if enacted on September 30, 2025.”
Most of division G moves dates that fell on September 30, 2025. Backdating the division keeps those authorities from lapsing in the weeks before the Act was signed. Section 7307, which changes the partial claim program, is left out and so takes effect on enactment.
What the document actually says
“The amendments made by this division, except for the amendments made by section 7307, shall take effect as if enacted on September 30, 2025.”
That sentence, in plain words
Treat this division as if it became law on September 30, 2025. One part is not covered.
What this is about
Many powers here ran out at the end of September. The law came in November. This closes the gap.
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.

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.
