What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

Both things the section does: strike the item and renumber what is left, and fix the effective date.

Nothing in the section is left out. It has two subsections and each is recorded.

The section works by amending section 168(e)(3)(B)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended by Public Law 117-169, neither of which is indexed here.
