§ 1302. Determining amounts appropriated

55 words·~1 min read·/usc/title-31/section-1302

A research copy — for the controlling text, always check the official state or federal source. Not legal advice.

Except as specifically provided by law, the total amount appropriated in an appropriation law is determined by adding up the specific amounts or rates appropriated in each paragraph of the law.
(Pub. L. 97–258, Sept. 13, 1982, 96 Stat. 917.)
The words “by adding up” are substituted for “by the correct footing up” for clarity.
