§301 — Title 46 Shipping | U.S. Code

Summary

When a covered maritime law adds, removes, moves, or renames a section or a larger part, the law also must update the table of contents or similar lists so they match the change. That automatic update does not apply if the amendment (or a clerical fix at the same time) already updates the table, or if the amendment says it does not apply. Covered maritime law means: (1) the laws in this title; (2) any Maritime Administration authorization act that approves annual funding for the Maritime Administration; and (3) any other law that the text itself labels as covered for this rule.

(b)Subsection (a) shall not apply to an amendment described in such subsection when—

(1)the amendment or a clerical amendment enacted at the same time expressly amends a table of sections, table of contents, or similar tabular entries in the covered maritime law to alter the table to conform to the changes made by the amendment; or

(2)the amendment otherwise expressly exempts itself from the operation of this section.

(c)In this section, the term “covered maritime law” means—

(1)this title;

(2)any Maritime Administration authorization Act that authorizes funds to be appropriated for a fiscal year to the Maritime Administration; and
