Found it here

It’s the 1986 Edition, so recent enough.

This page (para 5 particularly) refers to the indulgence for reading scripture.

This page (para 5 particularly) refers to the indulgence for reading scripture.Which precisely matches my own source.
  1. Worth special mention are those grants which list works by which the Christian faithful, by performing any one of them, can obtain a plenary indulgence every day of the year:

Code: 
* adoration of the Blessed Sacrament for at least one half hour (no. 3);
* devout reading of the Sacred Scriptures for at least one half hour (no. 50);
* the devout performance of the Stations of the Cross (no. 63);
* the recitation of the Marian Rosary in a church or oratory, with members of the family, in a religious Community, or in a pious association (no. 48).

But even in these instances what is stated in norm 21, paragraph 1, retains its force, namely, a plenary indulgence can be obtained but once a day.

I’m concerned that people might be insufficiently aware that there is a new edition, and it has changed from the 1986 edition. It is actually different, not just a reprint. For example, now there are four general grants of indulgence, whereas in the 1986 edition, there were only three. The info that is at the two weblinks above is not current. It is almost current, but some stuff has changed. I expect the websites will update eventually, but they have not yet done so. They remain highly useful, but be aware of the limitation.
