How often courts cite this section
Court decisions citing this, by year.Markers show enactment, consequential amendments, and circuit splits over this section — watch for a citation surge after a change or a disagreement. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
Each jurisdiction shall implement this subchapter before the later of—
(1) 3 years after July 27, 2006; and
(2) 1 year after the date on which the software described in section 16923 of this title is available.
The Attorney General may authorize up to two 1-year extensions of the deadline.
