That sentence, in plain words

This law has a short name. You may use that name when you write about the law.

What this is about

Laws have long formal names. A short title gives a shorter one. This name points to the two parts of the law. One part pays for homeland security for the year. The other part keeps other agencies going.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
