What the document says

“Section 103 of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7102) is amended-- (1) in paragraph (16), by striking ``(9)'' and inserting ``(11)''; and (2) in paragraph (17), by striking ``(9) or (10)'' and inserting ``(11) or (12)''.”

To provide for the vacating of certain convictions and expungement of certain arrests of victims of human trafficking, Sec. 7

The section makes two changes to section 103 of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. In paragraph (16), "(9)" is struck and "(11)" inserted. In paragraph (17), "(9) or (10)" is struck and "(11) or (12)" inserted. Both are numbers pointing to other paragraphs of the same section. That statute is not indexed here, so nothing is recorded about what the old or the new numbers point to.

What the document actually says

“Section 103 of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7102) is amended-- (1) in paragraph (16), by striking ``(9)'' and inserting ``(11)''; and (2) in paragraph (17), by striking ``(9) or (10)'' and inserting ``(11) or (12)''.”

That sentence, in plain words

One number in an older law changes from 9 to 11. Another changes from 9 or 10 to 11 or 12.

What this is about

The older law is from the year 2000. Numbers like these point to other parts of a law. This site does not index that law, so it does not say what those parts hold.

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.
