What the document says
“and transferred pursuant to transfer authorities provided by this division shall retain such designation.”
Section 1116 keeps the emergency designation attached to money that moves. An amount designated an emergency requirement under section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, and so designated by the President, keeps that designation when it is transferred under a transfer authority in division A.
What the document actually says
“and transferred pursuant to transfer authorities provided by this division shall retain such designation.”
That sentence, in plain words
Money marked an emergency keeps the mark when it moves.
What this is about
Money is often shifted from one account to another. The mark could be lost on the way. This says it is not.

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.
