What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: it strikes a date in an existing statute and inserts a later one.

Nothing else is in the section.

The section works by amending section 5503(d)(7) of title 38, United States Code, so a reader following a citation into that statute will find the older date until this one is applied. What that statute provides, and what the limit the section's heading names applies to, is not indexed here.
