What the document says
“the Secretary of Health and Human Services may implement the amendments made by this section by program instruction or otherwise.”
Subsection (b) allows the Secretary of Health and Human Services to put the section's amendments into effect by program instruction or otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision of law.
What the document actually says
“the Secretary of Health and Human Services may implement the amendments made by this section by program instruction or otherwise.”
That sentence, in plain words
The Secretary may put these changes in place. A written note is enough.
What this is about
Agencies often have to write a rule first. That takes months. This lets the Secretary skip that and just send word.
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.
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.
