What the document says
“Effective on September 30, 2031-- (1) this section and the amendments made by this section shall cease to have effect; and (2) the provisions of law amended by this section shall be restored as if such amendments had not been enacted.”
Subsection (d) ends the section on a fixed date. Effective on September 30, 2031, the section and the amendments it makes cease to have effect, and the provisions of law it amended are restored as if the amendments had not been enacted.
What the document actually says
“Effective on September 30, 2031-- (1) this section and the amendments made by this section shall cease to have effect; and (2) the provisions of law amended by this section shall be restored as if such amendments had not been enacted.”
That sentence, in plain words
On September 30, 2031 this part stops working. The older law goes back to the way it read before.
What this is about
Everything in this part has an end date. After that day the changes are undone. It is as if they were never made.
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.
