A comma is struck from section 205(c)(1)
The document says “is amended”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 4 in the PDF
What the document says
“in paragraph (1), by striking ``concerned,'' and inserting ``concerned''”
The section amends paragraph (1) of section 205(c) of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (16 U.S.C. 7125), striking the word concerned followed by a comma and inserting the same word without the comma.
What the document actually says
“in paragraph (1), by striking ``concerned,'' and inserting ``concerned''”
That sentence, in plain words
One word had a comma after it. The comma is taken out. The word stays.
What this is about
This is a fix to the way the old law is printed. The Act calls these technical corrections. A comma is not a rule.
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.
