How the Chapter List Was Built
Section numbers and headings are read from the Government Publishing Office's own text of the enrolled law, not typed. Every quotation on the site is checked against the section it is attributed to before the site will build. The approval line and the legislative history the GPO prints after the last section are held out of the text, so that neither can be quoted as a provision.
