What the document says
“Sec. 1. Short title. Sec. 2. Table of contents. Sec. 3. References. Sec. 4. Explanatory statement. Sec. 5. Statement of appropriations.”
The first part of the table of contents. It lists the Act's five numbered sections in order: the short title, this table, the rule on what a reference to this Act means, the effect given to the explanatory statement, and the statement of appropriations. Section 5 is the section that carries both divisions and all of the money.
What the document actually says
“Sec. 1. Short title. Sec. 2. Table of contents. Sec. 3. References. Sec. 4. Explanatory statement. Sec. 5. Statement of appropriations.”
That sentence, in plain words
The law has five short numbered parts at the front. They are the name, this list, a rule about words, a note about a report, and the money.
What this is about
The first four parts are short. The fifth part holds the money. Nearly all of the law sits inside that fifth part.

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.
