prominently featuredstraightforward

This section amends Section 308404 of title 54, United States Code, which governs the African American Civil Rights Network. It replaces the original 7-year authorization period, measured from the date of enactment of the original chapter, with a new 10-year authorization period, measured from the date this new Act (the 'Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act') is enacted. This effectively extends the network's legal operating authority.
