What the document says
“``(g) Principal Office.--The Board shall locate the principal office of the Foundation in the National Capital Region, as such term is defined in section 2674(f)(2) of title 10, United States Code, or a coastal shoreline community.''”
A new subsection (g) added at the end of section 113 of the Marine Debris Act. The Board must place the Foundation's principal office either in the National Capital Region, as that term is defined in section 2674(f)(2) of title 10, United States Code, or in a coastal shoreline community. Section 5 of this Act defines coastal shoreline community.
What the document actually says
“``(g) Principal Office.--The Board shall locate the principal office of the Foundation in the National Capital Region, as such term is defined in section 2674(f)(2) of title 10, United States Code, or a coastal shoreline community.''”
That sentence, in plain words
The Board must pick a home base for the Foundation. It can be in the capital area. Or it can be a town on the coast.
What this is about
Part 5 of this law says what a coast town means here. The rule for the capital area comes from a different law. That law is not on this site.

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.
