Oct. 25, 1982, Pub. L. 97–364, § 208, 96 Stat. 1746; Dec. 30, 1987, Pub. L. 100–223, § 305(b)(1), 101 Stat. 1526.

In this section, the words “fined under title 18” are substituted for “fined not more than $10,000” for consistency with title 18.

section 30305(b)(6) of this titlePublic Law 100–223101 Stat. 1526Public Law 97–36496 Stat. 1744In subsection (a), before clause (1), the reference to “” is used to carry out the probable intent of Congress. Section 305(b)(1) of the Airport and Airway Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1987 (, ) amended section 206(b) of the National Driver Register Act of 1982 (, ) by “redesignating paragraphs (3) and (4), and any reference thereto, as paragraphs (4) and (5), respectively”. Because the reference to “section 206(b)(4)” in section 208 of the National Driver Register Act of 1982 appears to have been incorrect before that amendment, and would continue to be incorrect if the reference is redesignated as required by the amendment, a reference to section 30305(b)(6) is used in this section to carry out the probable intent of Congress.
