What the document says
“in subsection (b), in the matter preceding paragraph (1), by striking "$5" and inserting "$0.00"; and”
The section amends section 32912 of title 49, United States Code by striking $5 and inserting $0.00 in the matter preceding paragraph (1) of subsection (b), and by striking $10 and inserting $0.00 in subsection (c)(1)(B).
What the document actually says
“in subsection (b), in the matter preceding paragraph (1), by striking "$5" and inserting "$0.00"; and”
That sentence, in plain words
The figure $5 is taken out of a transport law. The figure $0.00 is put in.
What this is about
A second change swaps $10 for $0.00 elsewhere in the same rule. Both figures set a fine. Setting them to zero means no fine is owed.
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.
The document says “shall apply”Who acts: Secretary of TransportationHow: statuteSec. 40006 in the PDF
What the document says
“The amendments made by subsection (a) shall-- (1) take effect on the date of enactment of this section; and”
The section provides that the amendments take effect on the date of enactment and apply to all model years of a manufacturer for which the Secretary of Transportation has not yet given notice under section 32903(b)(2)(B) of title 49, United States Code specifying the penalty due for falling below the applicable standard under section 32902 of that title.
What the document actually says
“The amendments made by subsection (a) shall-- (1) take effect on the date of enactment of this section; and”
That sentence, in plain words
The changes start at once. That is the day this part becomes law.
What this is about
They also reach back to earlier model years. That holds where the government has not yet sent a bill. Once a bill has gone out, the change does not apply.
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.
Both things the section does: set the two penalty figures to $0.00, and fix when and to which model years the change applies.
Nothing in the section is left out. It has only these two subsections.
The section works by amending section 32912 of title 49, United States Code and refers to sections 32902 and 32903 of that title, none of which is indexed here, so how the penalty is worked out cannot be checked against anything on this site.
