What the document says
“is amended by striking "five years" and inserting "six years".”
The section amends section 2002(a)(4) of the Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020 (Public Law 116-315), which sets how long the temporary licensure clarification lasts.

The words five years come out. The words six years go in.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out
The one thing the section does: change the length of the temporary clarification from five years to six.
Nothing else. The section is one sentence.
The section works by amending the Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020. That law is not indexed here, so this file does not say what the licensure clarification allows.
