                          Codification

    ``Sections 1341, 1342, and 1349-1351 and subchapter II of chapter 15 
of title 31'' substituted in text for ``section 3679 of the Revised 
Statutes [31 U.S.C. 665]'' on authority of Pub. L. 97-258, Sec. 4(b), 
Sept. 13, 1982, 96 Stat. 1067, the first section of which enacted Title 
31, Money and Finance.


                               Amendments

    1996--Pub. L. 104-106 substituted ``June 30, 1997'' for ``June 30, 
1996'' in two places and ``July 1, 1997'' for ``July 1, 1996''.
    1986--Pub. L. 99-661, Sec. 3138(a), substituted ``Los Alamos School 
Board shall not extend beyond June 30, 1996'' for ``Los Alamos School 
Board shall not extend beyond June 30, 1986'' and ``New Mexico, shall 
not extend beyond June 30, 1996'' for ``New Mexico, shall not extend 
beyond June 30, 1987''.
    Pub. L. 99-661, Sec. 3138(b)(1), inserted at end ``The authority to 
enter into a contract under the preceding sentence with the Los Alamos 
School Board and with the county of Los Alamos, New Mexico, shall be 
effective with respect to a period before July 1, 1996, only to the 
extent or in such amounts as are provided in appropriation Acts.''
    1978--Pub. L. 95-238 inserted provisions for applicability to the 
Los Alamos School Board and the county of Los Alamos, New Mexico, 
substituted ``payments are authorized'' for ``payments are required or 
authorized'', and struck out applicability of provisions to Anderson and 
Roane Counties, Tennessee, for contracts not beyond June 30, 1986.

``Commission'' in two places and inserted provision that the term of 
such contracts shall not extend beyond June 30, 1986, in the case of

executed in this section, rather than to section 2393, as the probable 
intent of Congress.
    1967--Pub. L. 90-190 inserted proviso, and ``or authorized'' 
wherever appearing.

extent that it covers the period before July 1, 1987.''
