## Sec. 5 That this act shall take effect from and after its passage. **[**See 20 U.S.C. 101 et seq. and note 8 below**]** ####
(1)Notes Effective October 1, 1989, section 402(a) of Public Law 100–630 terminated the perpetual trust fund established pursuant to the Act of March 3, 1879, and the Act of June 25, 1906, and also terminated the permanent annual appropriation for the fund. (The Public Law did not amend these Acts.) See note 2 below for the text of the Act of June 25, 1906. The separate authorization of appropriations for the American Printing House of the Blind is not affected by this termination (see section 403 of the Public Law). See note 3 below for the text of the law that establishes this separate authorization of appropriations. Section 404 of Public Law 100–630 provides as follows: “Any and all rights of the American Printing House of the Blind determined to have vested in the perpetual trust fund established by the Act of March 3, 1879, shall be deemed to be compensated by the appropriation to the American Printing House for the Blind for fiscal year 1990.”. Section 405 of that Public Law provides as follows: “Notwithstanding any Federal law, reference to the perpetual trust fund and permanent annual appropriations thereof established by the Act of March 3, 1879, shall not be given any effect.”. ####
(2)The Act of June 25, 1906, provides as follows: ``That the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars heretofore invested in United States registered four per centum bonds, funded loan of nineteen hundred and seven, inscribed `Secretary of the Treasury, trustee—interest to the Treasurer of the United States for credit of appropriation “To promote the education of the blind,” shall upon the maturity and redemption of said bonds on the first day of July, nineteen hundred and seven, in lieu of reinvestment in other Government bonds, be set apart and credited on the books of the Treasury Department as a perpetual trust fund; and the sum of ten thousand dollars, being equivalent to four per centum on the principal of said trust fund, be, and the same is hereby, appropriated, out of any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and such appropriation shall be deemed a permanent annual appropriation and shall be expended in the manner and for the purposes authorized by the Act approved March third, eighteen hundred and seventy-nine, entitled “An Act to promote the education of the blind,” approved March 3, 1879.''. ####
(3)The Act of August 4, 1919, as amended by section 403 of Public Law 100–630, provides as follows: “That for the purpose of enabling the American Printing House for the Blind more adequately to provide books and apparatus for the education of the blind, there is hereby authorized to be appropriated annually to it,, such sum as the Congress may determine; which sum shall be expended in accordance with the requirements of said Act, under rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, to promote the education of the blind.”. Section 403 of that Public Law amended the above Act (the Act of August 4, 1919) by striking a clause that indicated that the authorization of appropriations provided in the Act was in addition to the permanent appropriation provided in the Act of March 3, 1879. The amendment failed to strike the commas preceding and following the stricken clause (see superfluous commas preceding the term “**such sum**”). ####
(4)The Act of March 4, 1913, provides in part as follows: “The distribution of embossed books manufactured by the American Printing House for the Blind at Louisville, Kentucky, out of the income of the fund provided by the Act of **[**March 3, 1879,**]** shall include one copy of every book so manufactured to be deposited in the Library of Congress at Washington.”. ####
(5)The Act of November 4, 1919, provides in part as follows: “That two copies of each of the publications printed by the American Printing House for the Blind shall be furnished free of charge to the National Library for the Blind located at **[**1729 H Street Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia**]**.”. ####
(6)Public Law 95–355 provides in part that the American Printing House for the Blind may make purchases through the General Services Administration. ####
(7)Public Law 102–394 provides in part that funds appropriated in Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Acts to the American Printing House for the Blind “shall be subject to financial and program audit by the Secretary of Education and the Secretary may withhold all or any portion of these appropriations if he determines that an institution has not cooperated fully in the conduct of such audits”. ####
(8)Chapter 6 of title 20, United States Code (20 U.S.C. 101 et seq.), codifies certain provisions relating to the American Printing House for the Blind. In the 1982 edition of the Code, portions of the first section of the Act of March 3, 1879, were codified in section 101 of title 20 of the Code. Also codified in such section were portions of the Act of June 25, 1906, and the Act of August 4, 1919, whose texts are provided in notes above. These Acts affected the operation of the Act of March 3, 1879, but did not amend the Act. The relevant provisions of the Act of March 4, 1913, the Act of November 4, 1919, Public Law 95–355, and Public Law 102–394, whose texts are described in notes above, are codified in sections 105, 103, 106, and 106a, respectively, of title 20 of the Code. These provisions affect the operation of the Act of March 3, 1879, but did not amend the Act.
