“Section 50261 of Public Law 117-169 (136 Stat. 2056) is repealed, and any provision of law amended or repealed by that section is restored or revived as if that section had not been enacted into law.”
The section repeals section 50261 of Public Law 117-169 and revives what it had changed, then amends subparagraphs (A), (C), (F) and (H) of section 8(a)(1) of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1337(a)(1)) so that each sets a royalty of not less than 12 and a half percent but not more than 16 and two thirds percent.
What the document actually says
“Section 50261 of Public Law 117-169 (136 Stat. 2056) is repealed, and any provision of law amended or repealed by that section is restored or revived as if that section had not been enacted into law.”
That sentence, in plain words
One section of a 2022 law is wiped out. Any older wording it had changed comes back. It is treated as if it had never passed.
What this is about
Four spots in an older offshore law are then reworded. Each sets a band for the royalty. The band runs from 12.5 percent to 16 and two thirds percent.
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.
