The section gives the Act two names: the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act, and the GENIUS Act. It does nothing else.

That sentence, in plain words

This law can be called by two names. One is long. The short one is the GENIUS Act.

Laws often start with a part that just gives a name. Nobody has to do anything because of it. The name is used when other laws point back to this one.

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, 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.
