How the Date Is Worked Out

1. Enacted Mar. 23, 2018 (Pub. L. 115-141).
2. Text: “Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.” Mar. 23, 2018 + 180 days = Sept. 19, 2018.
3. Text limits the recurrence to 6 years after the first deadline: ends Sept. 19, 2024.
4. Recurs every 1 year, running from the first deadline: Sept. 19, 2018 + k × 1 year.
5. As of Nov. 11, 2026: the last deadline was Sept. 19, 2024; the recurrence has ended.
