What the document says
“The table of sections at the beginning of such chapter is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 3736 the following new item:”
The list of sections at the front of chapter 37 of title 38, United States Code, gains an entry for the new section 3737 after the entry for section 3736.
What the document actually says
“The table of sections at the beginning of such chapter is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 3736 the following new item:”
That sentence, in plain words
The list at the front of the old law gets a new line. It goes after the one before it.
What this is about
The list is a table of contents. Adding the line changes no rule.
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.
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.
