What the document says

“The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) is amended by striking section 5142 (15 U.S.C. 638a).”

To extend the SBIR and STTR programs, and for other purposes, Sec. 10

Subsection (l) strikes section 5142 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), carried at 15 U.S.C. 638a. The heading this Act gives the subsection is Government Accountability Office Mandate Sunset. What that section required is not recorded here, because the 2012 Act is not indexed on this site.

What the document actually says

“The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) is amended by striking section 5142 (15 U.S.C. 638a).”

To extend the SBIR and STTR programs, and for other purposes, Sec. 10
That sentence, in plain words

One whole part of a defense law from 2012 is taken out. It is section 5142.

What this is about

The heading calls it a sunset. That means a duty is ending. This law does not say what the duty was.

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, and we check 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.
