What the document says
“The amendment made by subsection (a) shall apply to a coal lease--”

What the document actually says
“The amendment made by subsection (a) shall apply to a coal lease--”
That sentence, in plain words
The change reaches coal leases. The two tests that follow say which ones.
What this is about
It covers leases issued before this law and after it. The lease must still be live. A lease that has ended is not touched.

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.
