Codification

Section 40155(2) of Pub. L. 103–322, which directed that this section be added after section 315 of Pub. L. 93–415, was executed by adding this section after section 312 of Pub. L. 93–415 (classified to section 5712 of this title) to reflect the probable intent of Congress and amendment by Pub. L. 102–586, §3(g)(2)(A)–(D), which repealed sections 313 to 315 of Pub. L. 93–415 (formerly classified to sections 5712a to 5712c of this title) and renumbered sections 316 and 317 of Pub. L. 93–415 as sections 313 and 314, respectively, of Pub. L. 93–415 (classified to sections 5713 and 5714 of this title). Section 40155(1) of Pub. L. 103–322, which directed that sections 316 and 317 of Pub. L. 93–415 be renumbered sections 317 and 318 of Pub. L. 93–415, could not be executed because of the previous renumbering of sections 316 and 317 as sections 313 and 314 of Pub. L. 93–415, as indicated above.
