Plain Language in Contracting Act

The requirement that covered notices be written consistent with Federal plain language guidelines under the Plain Writing Act of 2010 was removed and replaced with a more general standard: notices must be 'clear, concise, and well-organized' and follow 'other best practices appropriate to the subject or field of the covered notice and the intended audience.' This gives agencies more flexibility in how they meet the accessibility requirement.

A comma was added before 'Government-wide point of entry' in section 2(b), a minor grammatical clarification with no substantive policy effect.

The funding provision heading changed from 'Compliance with CUTGO' to 'No additional funds authorized,' and the body text was simplified from 'No additional amounts are authorized to be appropriated to carry out this Act or the amendments made by this Act' to 'No additional funds are authorized to carry out the requirements of this Act.' The substantive constraint (no new appropriations) is unchanged.
