What the document says
“The level referred to in subsection (a) shall be the amounts appropriated in the appropriations Acts referred to in such subsection, including transfers and obligation limitations.”
Section 1101(c) fixes the number that subsection (a) points to: the amounts the twelve fiscal year 2024 Acts appropriated, counting transfers and obligation limitations.
What the document actually says
“The level referred to in subsection (a) shall be the amounts appropriated in the appropriations Acts referred to in such subsection, including transfers and obligation limitations.”
That sentence, in plain words
The level is what the older bills gave. That includes money moved between accounts.
What this is about
Some money is capped rather than given outright. The cap counts as part of the level. So does money shifted from one account to another.
