Indian Tribes are named in the Foundation's purposes
The document says “is amended”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 3 in the PDF
What the document says
“(1) in paragraph (3) by inserting ``Indian Tribes,'' after ``Tribal governments,''; and (2) in paragraph (4) by striking ``title II'' and inserting ``subtitle C''.”
Two changes to section 111(b) of the Marine Debris Act, the statement of the Foundation's purposes. Indian Tribes are inserted after Tribal governments in paragraph (3), and a cross reference in paragraph (4) is changed from title II to subtitle C, the place section 4 of this Act moves that material to.
What the document actually says
“(1) in paragraph (3) by inserting ``Indian Tribes,'' after ``Tribal governments,''; and (2) in paragraph (4) by striking ``title II'' and inserting ``subtitle C''.”
That sentence, in plain words
Two words go into a list. The words are Indian Tribes. A pointer in a second line is also changed.
What this is about
That part says what the Foundation is for. Indian Tribes now sit in a list with Tribal governments. The pointer had to change because a part moved.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

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.
