Subsection (b) amends section 4(b)(4) of the SBIR and STTR Extension Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-183; 136 Stat. 2183) by striking '3 years' and inserting '8 years'. The section is headed GAO Study. What that provision of the 2022 Act requires is not recorded here, because that Act is not indexed on this site.

That sentence, in plain words
This changes a rule in a law from 2022. It takes out three years. It puts in eight years.
What this is about

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.
