What the document says
“(1) In general.--Section 2(7) of the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act (Public Law 116-224) is transferred to section 131 of the Marine Debris Act (Public Law 109-449), inserted after paragraph (7) (as redesignated), and redesignated as paragraph (8).”
One definition, paragraph (7) of section 2 of the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act, is moved into the Marine Debris Act's definitions and becomes paragraph (8). Paragraphs (8) through (11) of the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act then become paragraphs (7) through (10). The term the moved paragraph defines is not set out in this Act; the heading of the next subsection calls it non-Federal funds.
What the document actually says
“(1) In general.--Section 2(7) of the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act (Public Law 116-224) is transferred to section 131 of the Marine Debris Act (Public Law 109-449), inserted after paragraph (7) (as redesignated), and redesignated as paragraph (8).”
That sentence, in plain words
One meaning moves from one law to the other. It gets a new number there: (8). Four meanings left behind each move up a number.
What this is about
The rule after this one works on that same meaning. Its heading calls it non-Federal funds. The words of the meaning are not printed here.
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.
