(July 1, 1944, ch. 373, title III, § 393A, formerly § 393B, as added Pub. L. 106–386, div. B, title IV, §
1401(a), Oct. 28, 2000, 114 Stat. 1512; amended Pub. L. 109–162, title III, § 302, Jan. 5, 2006, 119 Stat.
3004; renumbered § 393C, Pub. L. 110–202, § 2(1), Apr. 23, 2008, 122 Stat. 697; renumbered § 393A,
Pub. L. 110–206, § 2(1), Apr. 28, 2008, 122 Stat. 714.)
Codification
Section was formerly classified to section 280b–1c of this title. Pub. L. 110–206, which directed the renumbering of
“the section 393B (42 U.S.C. 280b–1c)” of act July 1, 1944, “relating to the use of allotments for rape prevention
education” as section 393A and the transfer of that section so as to appear after section 393 of that Act, was executed
by renumbering section 393C of that Act as 393A and transferring the renumbered provisions to this section, to reflect
the probable intent of Congress and the renumbering of section 393B as 393C by section 2(1) of Pub. L. 110–202.

Prior Provisions
A prior section 393A of act July 1, 1944, was renumbered section 393B and is classified to section 280b–1c of this title.

Amendments
2006—Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 109–162 reenacted heading without change and amended text generally. Prior to
amendment, text contained provisions in par. (1) authorizing appropriations for fiscal years 2001 through 2005 and in
par. (2) directing an allotment under subsec. (b) of this section.
