In subsection (a), before paragraph (1), the words “Personnel referred to in subsection
(b)are” are substituted for “For purposes of subsection
(a)of this section, the personnel described in this subsection are as follows” to eliminate unnecessary words. In paragraph (3), the words “employee from State or local governments” are substituted for “person” for clarity.

In subsec. (a)(3), “individual” substituted for “employee from State or local governments” by S. Amdt. 4726 (111th Cong.). See 156 Cong. Rec. 18682 (2010).
