What the document says
“Nothing in this clause or a report issued pursuant to this clause may be construed to limit the authority of a Federal agency to enforce violations of Federal statutes, rules, or orders.''.”
The section states that nothing in the review clause or a report issued under it may be read as limiting a federal agency's power to enforce violations of federal statutes, rules, or orders.
What the document actually says
“Nothing in this clause or a report issued pursuant to this clause may be construed to limit the authority of a Federal agency to enforce violations of Federal statutes, rules, or orders.''.”
That sentence, in plain words
This part does not cut back what a federal agency may do. Agencies may still act on breaches of federal law and rules.
What this is about
A report might name wrongdoing. That does not settle the matter. Agencies keep their power to act on it.
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.
