The Marine Debris Act authorization runs through fiscal year 2029

What the document says
“Section 9(a) of the Marine Debris Act (Public Law 109-449) is amended by striking ``for'' the first place it appears and all that follows through ``carrying out'' and inserting ``for each of fiscal years 2018 through 2029 for carrying out''.”
Section 9(a) of the Marine Debris Act, which section 4 of this Act moves and renumbers as section 133, is rewritten in part so that it reads for each of fiscal years 2018 through 2029 for carrying out. What follows those words is in the amended statute, which is not indexed here.
What the document actually says
“Section 9(a) of the Marine Debris Act (Public Law 109-449) is amended by striking ``for'' the first place it appears and all that follows through ``carrying out'' and inserting ``for each of fiscal years 2018 through 2029 for carrying out''.”
That sentence, in plain words
A phrase in an old rule is swapped out. The new words cover the years 2018 to 2029.
What this is about
That rule is about money for the sea trash work. Part 4 of this law gives it a new number. The new number is 133.
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.
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.
