What the document says
“``The corporation shall comply with the law on service of process of the State or District in which it is incorporated.''”
The section amends section 70510 of title 36, United States Code, to read as quoted. The corporation is to comply with the law on service of process of the State or District in which it is incorporated. The Act sets out no service of process rule of its own.
What the document actually says
“``The corporation shall comply with the law on service of process of the State or District in which it is incorporated.''”
That sentence, in plain words
The group must follow one set of rules on serving papers. They are the rules of the state where it was set up.
What this is about
To serve papers is to hand someone notice of a suit. Each state has its own way. The group must use the way of its own state.

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.
