What the document says
“Section 6107 of title 38, United States Code, is amended to read as follows:”
The operative instruction of the section. Everything that follows it is the replacement text of section 6107 of title 38, United States Code, set out in full under the heading Reissuance of benefits. This site indexes the words this Act enacts. It does not record what section 6107 said before, because title 38 is not indexed here.
What the document actually says
“Section 6107 of title 38, United States Code, is amended to read as follows:”
That sentence, in plain words
This law rewrites part of an old law book. The part is number 6107.
What this is about
Congress can change an old law. One way is to write the part over. The old words go away. The new words are below.
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.
