What the document says
“in paragraph (2) (18 U.S.C. 2511 note), in the matter preceding subparagraph (A), by striking "Effective two years after the date of enactment of the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act--" and inserting "Effective April 30, 2026--"”
The second amendment in subsection (a). It makes the same change to paragraph (2) of section 403(b) of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, which appears as a note to 18 U.S.C. 2511: a date counted from the enactment of the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act is replaced with April 30, 2026. Only the matter preceding subparagraph (A) is touched.
What the document actually says
“in paragraph (2) (18 U.S.C. 2511 note), in the matter preceding subparagraph (A), by striking "Effective two years after the date of enactment of the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act--" and inserting "Effective April 30, 2026--"”
That sentence, in plain words
This part crosses out another old date. It writes in April 30, 2026.
What this is about
The same date shows up in a note to a wiretap law. This makes both dates match.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
