A duplicated part of the Public Health Service Act is renumbered
The document says “is amended”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 107 in the PDF
What the document says
“by redesignating such part as part J”
The section renumbers the second part G of title V of the Public Health Service Act as part J, and renumbers sections 581 through 584 as sections 596 through 596C. Two parts of that title had been given the same letter.
What the document actually says
“by redesignating such part as part J”
That sentence, in plain words
A part of an older law gets a new letter. It was part G. Now it is part J.
What this is about
Two parts of the same law had been given the letter G. That makes them hard to cite. Giving one a new letter fixes the clash.
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.
