What the document actually says
“Part O of title III of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 280f et seq.) is amended to read as follows:”
That sentence, in plain words
A whole piece of an older law is thrown out. New words take its place. The new words follow right after.
What this is about
When a law is rewritten this way, the old words stop counting. Only the new words apply. The new part has three sections.
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 quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check 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.
