Section 12511(20) of title 42, referred to in subsec. (c)(2), was redesignated section 12511(35) by Pub. L. 111–13, title I, § 1102(b)(1), Apr. 21, 2009, 123 Stat. 1467.

L. 89–329, by Pub. L. 90–575, § 131(a), (b)(1), and later editorially transferred to this section to merge with the rest of the Act, which is classified to this chapter. For complete credit information on acts affecting this section prior to Pub. L. 99–498, see Prior Provisions note below.

A prior section 441 of Pub. L. 89–329, title IV, formerly Pub. L. 88–452, title I, § 141, formerly § 121, Aug. 20, 1964, 78 Stat. 513; Pub.

L. 89–329, title IV, § 441, and amended Pub. L. 90–575, title I, §§ 131(a), (b)(1), 132, 133(a), Oct. 16, 1968, 82 Stat. 1028, 1029; Pub. L. 91–95, § 5, Oct. 22, 1969, 83 Stat. 143; Pub.

L. 90–575, title I, § 131(a), Oct. 16, 1968, 82 Stat. 1028. Because the repeal happened in order to accommodate the new section 441 resulting from the renumbering of former section 141 of Pub.

1998—Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 105–244, § 441(a), substituted “$1,000,000,000 for fiscal year 1999” for “$800,000,000 for fiscal year 1993”.

Subsec. (c)(1). Pub. L. 105–244, § 441(b)(1), inserted “(including child care services provided on campus that are open and accessible to the community)” after “child care”.

Subsec. (c)(3). Pub. L. 105–244, § 441(b)(2), inserted “, including students with disabilities who are enrolled at the institution” before the semicolon.

1993—Subsec. (c)(2). Pub. L. 103–82 substituted “a project, as defined in section 12511(20) of title 42” for “service opportunities or youth corps as defined in section 12511 of title 42, and service in the agencies, institutions and activities designated in section 12544(a) of title 42”.

1992—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 102–325, § 441(b), inserted before period at end “, and to encourage students receiving Federal student financial assistance to participate in community service activities that will benefit the Nation and engender in the students a sense of social responsibility and commitment to the community”.

Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 102–325, § 441(c), amended subsec. (b) generally, substituting present provisions for former provisions which authorized appropriations for fiscal years 1987 to 1991.

Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 102–325, § 441(d), added subsec. (c).
