What the document says

“The table of sections at the beginning of chapter 19 of such title is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 1980A the following new item:”

To amend title 38, United States Code, to require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to periodically review the automatic maximum coverage under the Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance program and the Veterans' Group Life Insurance program, and for other purposes, Sec. 2

Subsection (b) of section 2. It puts a line for section 1980B into the table of sections at the front of chapter 19 of title 38, after the item for section 1980A. It requires nothing of anybody.

What the document actually says

“The table of sections at the beginning of chapter 19 of such title is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 1980A the following new item:”

To amend title 38, United States Code, to require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to periodically review the automatic maximum coverage under the Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance program and the Veterans' Group Life Insurance program, and for other purposes, Sec. 2
That sentence, in plain words

A list at the front of the chapter is changed. The new section is added to that list.

What this is about

Laws keep a table of what is in them. The new section gets a line in that table. It goes right after the line before it. This adds nothing new for anyone to do.

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.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
