Pub. L. 117–263, div. B, § 2803(b), Dec. 23, 2022, 136 Stat. 2970, provided that:

“(1)
Automatic execution of conforming changes.—
When an amendment made by a provision of this division [see Tables for classification] to a covered defense law adds a section or larger organizational unit to the covered defense law, repeals or transfers a section or larger organizational unit in the covered defense law, or amends the designation or heading of a section or larger organizational unit in the covered defense law, that amendment also shall have the effect of amending any table of sections, table of contents, or similar table of tabular entries in the covered defense law to alter the table to conform to the changes made by the amendment.
“(2)
Exceptions.—
Paragraph (1) shall not apply to an amendment described in such paragraph when—
“(A)
the amendment, or a separate clerical amendment enacted at the same time as the amendment, expressly amends a table of sections, table of contents, or similar table of tabular entries in the covered defense law to alter the table to conform to the changes made by the amendment; or
“(B)
the amendment otherwise expressly exempts itself from the operation of this section.
“(3)
Covered defense law defined.—
In this subsection, the term ‘covered defense law’ means—
