(a)General.— Congress reserves the right to amend or repeal the provisions of part B of this subtitle.
(b)Nonapplication.— Subsection
(a)of this section does not apply to chapters 213, 407, 801, 1403, 1503 (except section 150302(b)), 1513, 1517, 1531, and 1539 of this title.
(Pub. L. 105–225, Aug. 12, 1998, 112 Stat. 1283.)
In subsection (a), the source provisions are restated as a general provision to avoid the need to repeat identical provisions. The words “but no contract or individual right made or acquired shall be divested or impaired” in 36:104 and “but no contract or individual right made or acquired shall thereby be divested or impaired” in 36:5311 are omitted as unnecessary and for consistency in the revised title.
Subsection
(b)is added because the chapters referred to in subsection
(b)restate laws which Congress did not expressly reserve the right to amend or repeal.
