TITLE 49—TRANSPORTATION
§ 33102
1 See References in Text note below.
In clause (9), the words ‘‘after December 31, 1989’’ are
substituted for ‘‘on or after the beginning of the 2-year
period specified in section 2023(a)(1)(A) of this title’’ for
clarity and consistency.
PUB. L. 103–429, § 6(44)(A)
This corrects a cross-reference in 49:33101(2) by elimi-
nating the reference to 49:33102(c)(1). Section 302(1) of
the Anti Car Theft Act of 1992 (Public Law 102–519, 106
Stat. 3394) restated section 602(d)(1)(A) and (B) of the
Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act (Pub-
lic Law 92–513, 86 Stat. 947) as section 602(d)(1) without
making a change in the cross-reference in section 601(6)
to section 602(d)(1)(B).
PUB. L. 103–429, § 6(44)(B)
This makes a conforming amendment for consistency
with the style of title 49.
