Editorial Notes
Codification
Section was formerly classified to section 126b of this title prior to editorial reclassification and renumbering as this section.
“On and after ” substituted in text for “hereafter”, which probably meant after the date of enactment of Pub. L. 97–12 rather than the date of enactment of Pub. L. 89–90.
Amendments
