The existing paragraph (8) of section 2 of the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2016 (22 U.S.C. 1621 note) is renumbered as paragraph (10), so that the two new paragraphs can be inserted ahead of it, and this swap is then made inside it. What the paragraph says apart from the struck and inserted words is not stated in this law.

What the document actually says

“by striking "will yield just and fair resolutions in a more efficient and predictable manner" and inserting "may, in some circumstances, yield just and fair resolutions as well"”

That sentence, in plain words

This law strikes words that said one path gives fair results in a fast, sure way. It puts in words saying that path may sometimes give fair results as well.

What this is about

The old law had a line about how to settle these fights. This law swaps some of the words in that line. The new words are less sure about it.

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.
