The document says “is amended”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 103 in the PDF
What the document says
“in subparagraph (D), by striking ``opioids'' and inserting ``substances causing overdose''”
The section amends section 392A(a)(2)(D) of the Public Health Service Act, taking out the word opioids and putting in the phrase substances causing overdose. A related change in the same subsection adds the words and associated risks.
What the document actually says
“in subparagraph (D), by striking ``opioids'' and inserting ``substances causing overdose''”
That sentence, in plain words
The word opioids is taken out. In its place go the words substances causing overdose.
What this is about
Opioids are one kind of drug. Other drugs can kill too. Changing the word means the work covers more than one kind of drug.

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.
