What the document says

“by striking ``During fiscal years 2012 through 2025'' and inserting ``Until September 30, 2031''; (2) by striking ``, and the Department of Education'' and inserting ``the Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Department of Education''; and (3) by inserting ``or STTR program'' after ``SBIR program'' each place that term appears.”

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

Subsection (a) makes three changes to section 9(cc) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638(cc)). The opening words 'During fiscal years 2012 through 2025' become 'Until September 30, 2031'. The words naming the Department of Education are replaced by words naming the Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Department of Education. And the words 'or STTR program' are inserted after 'SBIR program' at each place the term appears. This Act does not restate the sentence those words sit in, and section 9(cc) is not indexed here.

What the document actually says

“by striking ``During fiscal years 2012 through 2025'' and inserting ``Until September 30, 2031''; (2) by striking ``, and the Department of Education'' and inserting ``the Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Department of Education''; and (3) by inserting ``or STTR program'' after ``SBIR program'' each place that term appears.”

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

The end date moves to September 30, 2031. Two more agencies are named. And a second award program is added each time the first one is named.

What this is about

The two new agencies are the energy department and the space agency. This law does not say what the rule they join does. That part of the older law is not on this site.

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.
