What the document says
“by inserting ``cybersecurity assistance,'' after ``intellectual property protections,''”
Subsection (1)(A)(i)(II) inserts the words 'cybersecurity assistance,' after the words 'intellectual property protections,' in subsection (q)(1) of section 9 of the Small Business Act. This Act does not restate the list those words join, and that list is not recorded here.
What the document actually says
“by inserting ``cybersecurity assistance,'' after ``intellectual property protections,''”
That sentence, in plain words
Two words go into a list in the older law. They go right after the words about patents.
What this is about
The list names kinds of help a firm can get. Help with computer safety is now one of them. The rest of the list is not part of this law.
