How the Date Is Worked Out
- Enacted Dec. 20, 2019 (Pub. L. 116-92).
- Text: “Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.” Dec. 20, 2019 + 180 days = June 17, 2020.
- Act repealed by Pub. L. 119-60, sec. 8369(a) (Dec. 18, 2025); no deadline falls after that date.
- As of Nov. 11, 2026: one-time deadline passed on June 17, 2020.
