What the document says
“in clause (iii), by striking ``physician'' and inserting ``physician, parent, or legal guardian'';”
Section 2(a)(1)(B) amends clause (iii) of section 9(a)(2)(A) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1758(a)(2)(A)) by striking the word physician and inserting the words physician, parent, or legal guardian. What that clause otherwise says is not recorded here, because that statute is not indexed on this site.
What the document actually says
“in clause (iii), by striking ``physician'' and inserting ``physician, parent, or legal guardian'';”
That sentence, in plain words
One word in an older law comes out. That word is physician, which means doctor. Three words go in: doctor, parent, or legal guardian.
What this is about
The older law is not on this site. So this page does not say what that line holds.

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.
