Editorial Notes REFERENCES IN TEXT Section 60541(d)(3)(B) of this title, referred to in sub- sec. (j)(2)(A), was in the original ‘‘section 234(c)(2) of the Second Chance Act of 2007’’, and was translated as reading ‘‘section 231(d)(3)(B) of the Second Chance Act of 2007’’, meaning section 231(d)(3)(B) of Pub. L. 110–199, to reflect the probable intent of Congress, because Pub. L. 110–199 does not contain a section 234(c)(2), and sec- tion 231(d)(3)(B) of Pub. L. 110–199 relates to the selec- tion of a measure for recidivism to be used by the Di- rector of the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
