What the document says

“in subsection (a)(2), by striking ``wildfires,'' and inserting ``wildfires (including a wildfire that is not caused naturally, if the damage is caused by the spread of the wildfire due to natural causes, and a wildfire that is caused by the Federal Government),''”

To amend the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 to remove barriers to agricultural producers in accessing funds to carry out emergency measures under the emergency conservation program, and for other purposes, Sec. 3

The change to paragraph (2) of subsection (a). The word "wildfires," is struck and the same word is put back carrying a parenthesis after it. The words in that parenthesis reach a wildfire not caused naturally, where the damage is caused by the spread of the fire due to natural causes, and a wildfire caused by the Federal Government. It is the same pair of cases section 2 of this Act writes into section 401. What subsection (a)(2) provides is set by section 407, which is not indexed here.

What the document actually says

“in subsection (a)(2), by striking ``wildfires,'' and inserting ``wildfires (including a wildfire that is not caused naturally, if the damage is caused by the spread of the wildfire due to natural causes, and a wildfire that is caused by the Federal Government),''”

To amend the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 to remove barriers to agricultural producers in accessing funds to carry out emergency measures under the emergency conservation program, and for other purposes, Sec. 3
That sentence, in plain words

The word wildfires stays in the old law. New words go in right after it. A fire people started counts, if nature spread it. So does a fire the Federal Government started.

What this is about

Part 2 of this law says the same thing about farms. This says it about woodland.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
