49 U.S.C. § 20305 — Inspection of mail cars

Page 605 TITLE 49—TRANSPORTATION § 20306 HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES—CONTINUED Revised Section Source (U.S. Code) Source (Statutes at Large) 20303(b) ...... 45:13 (2d sentence proviso words after last semi- colon). 20303(c) ...... 45:13 (2d sentence proviso words be- tween semi- colons). In subsections (a) and (b), the word ‘‘moved’’ is sub- stituted for ‘‘hauled’’ and ‘‘hauling’’ for consistency in this section. In subsection (a), before clause (1), the words ‘‘A vehi- cle that is equipped in compliance with this chapter’’ are substituted for ‘‘where any car shall have been properly equipped, as provided in sections 1 to 16 of this title’’ to eliminate unnecessary words. The words ‘‘while such car was being used by such carrier upon its line of railroad’’ are omitted as surplus since this chap- ter only applies in the case of vehicles used by railroad carriers on their railroad lines. The word ‘‘neverthe- less’’ is added for clarity. The words ‘‘when necessary to make repairs’’ are substituted for ‘‘if any such move- ment is necessary to make such repairs and such re- pairs cannot be made except at any such repair point’’ to eliminate unnecessary words. The words ‘‘without a penalty being imposed under section 21302 of this title’’ are substituted for ‘‘without liability for the penalties imposed by this section or section 6 of this title’’ be- cause of the restatement. In subsection (b), the words ‘‘A vehicle . . . may be moved under this section . . . only when’’ are sub- stituted for ‘‘and nothing in this proviso shall be con- strued to permit the hauling of defective cars . . . un- less’’ for clarity and to eliminate unnecessary words. In subsection (c), the word ‘‘hauling’’ is omitted for consistency in this section. The word ‘‘proceedin
