What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does, which is to give the Act the name it is cited by.

Nothing. The section is a single sentence and it is recorded in full.

A short title section carries no requirement and binds nobody. It is indexed because the law contains it, not because anything follows from it.
