requirements biennial rather than annual and adding subsec. headings.
    1992--Pub. L. 102-586, Sec. 3(h), which directed the amendment of 
section ``361 of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Act of 1974 (42

executed to this section, which is section 381 of the Juvenile Justice 
and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93-415), to reflect the 
probable intent of Congress and the intervening renumbering of section 
361 of Pub. L. 93-415 as section 381 by section 3(g)(1)(A)(ii) of Pub. 
L. 102-586. Prior to amendment, this section consisted of subsecs. (a)

funded under part B of this subchapter.

of Representatives and the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate'' 
for ``report to the Congress''.
    Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 101-204, Sec. 1003(2), substituted ``Not later 
than 180 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Secretary shall 
submit a report to the Committee on Education and Labor of the House of 
Representatives and the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate'' for 
``The Secretary shall annually report to the Congress''.

introductory provisions substituted ``Not later than 180 days after the 
end of each fiscal year, the Secretary shall'' for ``The Secretary shall 
annually'', ``runaway and homeless youth centers'' for ``runaway 
centers'', and ``part A of this subchapter'' for ``this part'', and in 
par. (1) substituted ``runaway and homeless youth'' for ``runaway 
youth''.
    Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 100-690, Sec. 7273(c)(3), added subsec. (b).
    1980--Pub. L. 96-509 substituted ``centers'' for ``houses''.

    Amendment by Pub. L. 100-690 effective Oct. 1, 1988, with the report
