The document says “is amended”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 6 in the PDF
What the document says
“Subtitle A of the Marine Debris Act, as designated in this Act, is amended by striking ``tribal government'' and inserting ``Tribal Government''.”
In subtitle A of the Marine Debris Act, the subtitle section 2 of this Act creates, the words tribal government are replaced by Tribal Government. Section 5 of this Act defines Tribal Government.
What the document actually says
“Subtitle A of the Marine Debris Act, as designated in this Act, is amended by striking ``tribal government'' and inserting ``Tribal Government''.”
That sentence, in plain words
Two words get capital letters. They are tribal government.
What this is about
Part 5 of this law gives those words a set meaning. A term with a set meaning is written with capitals. This change makes the old law match.

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.
