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.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The whole section, which is one sentence naming the Act.

Nothing. The section has one sentence and it is recorded here.

A short title section names the Act and does nothing else. It carries no money, no duty and no deadline. The two divisions the Act contains give themselves their own names at the end of each division, and those are recorded with section 5.
