The section replaces the wording in section 2(b)(3) of the National Housing Act that set the maximum loan term with a maximum period the Secretary determines, capped at 30 years.

That sentence, in plain words

The older words about how long a loan may run come out. New words go in. The housing agency now sets the length, up to 30 years.

What this is about

A loan term is how long a borrower has to pay it back. The law used to fix the number. Now it fixes only the ceiling.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check 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.
