What the document says

“The table of sections of chapter 237 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:”

To provide for the vacating of certain convictions and expungement of certain arrests of victims of human trafficking, Sec. 2

A bookkeeping change. The table of sections at the head of chapter 237 gains a closing line reading "3771A. Motion to vacate; expungement; mitigating factors." so that the new section appears in the chapter's own list.

What the document actually says

“The table of sections of chapter 237 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:”

To provide for the vacating of certain convictions and expungement of certain arrests of victims of human trafficking, Sec. 2
That sentence, in plain words

The list at the front of chapter 237 gets a new line at the end.

What this is about

Each chapter of the law books has a list of its parts. The new part must show up there. It is a bookkeeping change.

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, 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.
