Old papers may still use the old name. Those words now mean the new name.

This covers laws, rules, maps, files, and other papers of the government. The new name holds even where old words stay in place.

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.
