    Subsection (a) is substituted for the source provision for 
consistency in the revised title.
    In subsection (b), the words ``restriction or other'' in 36:5015 are 
omitted as unnecessary. The text of 36:5014 (last sentence) is omitted 
as unnecessary because of clause (2) of the revised subsection.
