The Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 2006, as in effect on the day before July 31, 2018, referred to in text, probably means the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006, which is classified generally to this chapter, as in effect on the day before the enactment of Pub. L. 115–224, July 31, 2018, 132 Stat. 1563, which amended this chapter extensively. A prior version of the Act was named the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998, but no act with the title "Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 2006" has been enacted.

Another prior section 2303, Pub. L. 101–392, §4, Sept. 25, 1990, 104 Stat. 758; Pub. L. 104–66, title I, §1041(f), Dec. 21, 1995, 109 Stat. 715, which related to the Interdepartmental Task Force on Vocational Education and Related Programs, was transferred to section 2308 of this title.

2018—Pub. L. 115–224, §8(1), substituted "are necessary" for "the Secretary determines to be appropriate".

Pub. L. 115–224, §8(2), substituted "as amended by the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act" for "as amended by the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006" and substituted "July 31, 2018" for "August 12, 2006" in two places.

Pub. L. 115–224, §8(3), substituted "Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 2006" for "Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998".
