What the document says
“Projects assisted under this section for activities described in sector 23 of the North American Industry Classification System shall be treated as projects assisted under the Community Development Block Grant program under title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.).”
The section provides that projects assisted under it for activities in sector 23 of the North American Industry Classification System are treated as projects assisted under the Community Development Block Grant program in title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
What the document actually says
“Projects assisted under this section for activities described in sector 23 of the North American Industry Classification System shall be treated as projects assisted under the Community Development Block Grant program under title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.).”
That sentence, in plain words
Some projects here are building work. Those count as another kind of project. They count as block grant projects.
What this is about
Sector 23 is the construction sector in a standard list of industries. Treating a project as a block grant project carries that program's rules over. This law does not restate them.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

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.
