What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: it supplies the name by which the Act may be cited.

Nothing is left out. The section runs to a single sentence.

The section amends no older statute and requires nothing of anybody, so nothing recorded here depends on a document that is not indexed.
