Section 401 of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 is amended
What the document says“Section 401 of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2201) is amended”
The operative instruction of the section. Everything that follows it changes section 401 of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978, which is codified at 16 U.S.C. 2201. The section works in two ways: it edits subsection (b) and it adds a new subsection (c) at the end. Among the edits to subsection (b) is one to the subsection heading, which has the words "and Other Emergency Conservation Measures" inserted after "Fencing". This site indexes the words this Act enacts and does not record what section 401 said before, because the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 is not indexed here.
What the document actually says“Section 401 of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2201) is amended”
This law changes an old law. The old law is from 1978. It is about credit for farms.
Congress can change a law it passed before. It names the part to change. Then it gives the new words. The rest of this part does that.
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.
