What the document says

“in section 5-- (A) by striking subsection (g); (B) by redesignating subsections (e) and (f) as subsections (h) and (i), respectively; (C) by redesignating subsections (b), (c), and (d) as subsections (c), (d), and (e), respectively”

To clarify the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2016, to appropriately limit the application of defenses based on the passage of time and other non-merits defenses to claims under that Act, Sec. 2

Subsection (g) of section 5 of the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2016 (22 U.S.C. 1621 note) is removed, and five other subsections are moved to new letters: (e) and (f) become (h) and (i), and (b), (c) and (d) become (c), (d) and (e). That clears the letters (b), (f) and (g) for the new subsections this section inserts. A conforming change follows: in the subsection now lettered (d), a pointer to subsection (e) is struck and a pointer to subsection (h) put in its place, so that it still reaches the same text. This law does not state what the struck subsection (g) provided or what any of the moved subsections say.

What the document actually says

“in section 5-- (A) by striking subsection (g); (B) by redesignating subsections (e) and (f) as subsections (h) and (i), respectively; (C) by redesignating subsections (b), (c), and (d) as subsections (c), (d), and (e), respectively”

That sentence, in plain words

This part cuts one lettered part out of the old law. It moves other lettered parts to new letters.

What this is about

Laws are split into lettered parts. To add new ones, the old ones shift. The letters change but most words stay.

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.
