Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill H.84 retains the amendments to sections 9361 and 9362 of Title 18 but removes unnecessary introductory language that was included in the earlier draft. This cleanup helps to streamline the document and makes it clearer for readers to focus on the actual legal changes being proposed. Clarifying the bill in this way matters because it enhances understanding and can lead to more informed discussions about the legislation's implications.
