What the document says

“Effective as if included in the enactment of Public Law 117-328-- (1) section 1252(a) of division FF of Public Law 117-328 (136 Stat. 5681) is amended, in the matter being inserted into section 302(e) of the Controlled Substances Act, by striking ``303(g)'' and inserting ``303(h)'';”

To amend the Controlled Substances Act with respect to the scheduling of fentanyl-related substances, and for other purposes, Sec. 4

The whole of section 4. In sections 1252(a), 1262 and 1263(b) of division FF of Public Law 117-328, references to section 303(g) of the Controlled Substances Act, and to paragraphs within it, are replaced by references to section 303(h). Paragraph (3) also replaces the citation (21 U.S.C. 823(g)(2)) with (21 U.S.C. 823(h)(2)). The correction is effective as if it had been included in Public Law 117-328 when that Act was enacted.

What the document actually says

“Effective as if included in the enactment of Public Law 117-328-- (1) section 1252(a) of division FF of Public Law 117-328 (136 Stat. 5681) is amended, in the matter being inserted into section 302(e) of the Controlled Substances Act, by striking ``303(g)'' and inserting ``303(h)'';”

To amend the Controlled Substances Act with respect to the scheduling of fentanyl-related substances, and for other purposes, Sec. 4
That sentence, in plain words

An older law is fixed. It pointed to part (g) of a rule. It now points to part (h). The fix counts as if it were there all along.

What this is about

The pointer was wrong when the older law passed. A wrong pointer can send a reader to the wrong rule. The same fix is made in twelve places.

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.
