What the document says
“The Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 (division A of Public Law 119-37) is further amended by substituting the date of enactment of this Act for the date specified in section 106(3).”
Section 101 of division B. A textual amendment to the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026, replacing the date in its section 106(3) with the date this Act was enacted, April 30, 2026. What that earlier act provides is in Public Law 119-37, which is not indexed here.
What the document actually says
“The Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 (division A of Public Law 119-37) is further amended by substituting the date of enactment of this Act for the date specified in section 106(3).”
That sentence, in plain words
One date in an earlier law is swapped out. The new date is the day this law passed.
What this is about
That earlier law kept agencies funded to a set date. This moves that date. The old law is not indexed here.

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.
