The document says “is amended”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 3 in the PDF
What the document says
“Section 111(a) of the Marine Debris Act (Public Law 109-449), as transferred by this Act, is amended, in the second sentence, by striking ``organization'' and inserting ``corporation''.”
In section 111(a) of the Marine Debris Act, the provision on the status of the Marine Debris Foundation, the word organization in the second sentence is replaced by corporation. What the rest of that sentence says is in the amended statute, which is not indexed here.
What the document actually says
“Section 111(a) of the Marine Debris Act (Public Law 109-449), as transferred by this Act, is amended, in the second sentence, by striking ``organization'' and inserting ``corporation''.”
That sentence, in plain words
One word in a rule is swapped. The word organization comes out. The word corporation goes in.
What this is about
That rule says what the Foundation is. Only the one word changes. The rest of the sentence stays as it was.

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.
