The entire text of the current\nprovisions of law (from the 1994 reauthorization,  P.L. 103-270 ) is set out in the far right-hand\ncolumn of the chart. The statutory text of significant changes in the act is placed in the other\ncolumns corresponding to the major amendments and reauthorizations in which such language was\nfirst adopted. Brief descriptions of some of the major changes are placed in the charts for\nexplanation purposes in italics and brackets. All of the actual statutory language appears in regular\nprint.",
