The document says “is amended”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“in subsection (c)(1), by inserting ``and any successor document or related document that includes guidance on relations with Taiwan'' after ``memorandum''”
The first of two amendments this section makes to section 315 of the Taiwan Assurance Act of 2020 (subtitle B of title III of division FF of Public Law 116-260; 134 Stat. 3100). It inserts the quoted words into subsection (c)(1) of that section, after the word memorandum.
What the document actually says
“in subsection (c)(1), by inserting ``and any successor document or related document that includes guidance on relations with Taiwan'' after ``memorandum''”
That sentence, in plain words
The old law named one paper. Now it also names later papers. It names any paper that gives advice about Taiwan.
What this is about
The State Department writes rules about how to deal with Taiwan. Those rules can be split across many papers. This change covers all of them.

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.
