What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

Both things the section does: move the date on the existing money and add a further sum for the new period.

The renumbering that splits the old sentence into two paragraphs to make room for the new one.

The section works by amending division BB of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. That law is not indexed here, so this file does not say what the work of carrying out the No Surprises Act involves.
