What the document says
“by inserting ``the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Podiatric Medical Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Optometric Association,'' before ``or any other organization''”
The section adds four named organizations to the list in section 303(m)(1)(A)(iv)(I) of the Controlled Substances Act, and adds the Council on Podiatric Medical Education to the accrediting bodies named in the same clause.
What the document actually says
“by inserting ``the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Podiatric Medical Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Optometric Association,'' before ``or any other organization''”
That sentence, in plain words
Four more groups are named in the law. Their courses now count toward the training. The list already had other groups on it.
What this is about
The groups named are for family doctors, foot doctors, dentists and eye doctors. A prescriber who takes their course meets the rule.

How to Read This Page
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.
