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 Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: replace a moving end date with a fixed one.

Nothing else. The section is one sentence.

The section works by amending the Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act of 2019. That law is not indexed here, so this file does not say who may receive a grant.
