The subtitle of the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act (Public Law 116-224) that carries the Marine Debris Foundation is moved into the Marine Debris Act (Public Law 109-449), where it appears after section 104, the section renumbered by section 2 of this Act. Everything recorded below cites the Foundation's provisions at their new home, section 111 of the Marine Debris Act and after.
What the document actually says
“Subtitle B of title I of the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act (Public Law 116-224) is transferred to appear after section 104 of the Marine Debris Act (Public Law 109-449), as redesignated by this Act.”
That sentence, in plain words
A set of rules moves from one law to another. It is the set that sets up the Marine Debris Foundation. It now sits in the sea trash law.
What this is about
The Foundation is a body that works on sea trash. Its rules were in a different law. This law moves them and then changes them.

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.
