This view breaks the statement into its steps and names what each one does.

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 131 wordsunsurprisingly, H.R. 5182 makes technical corrections and updates to the United States Code.¹ This bill was prepared for the Judiciary Committee by the Office of Law Revision Counsel, a nonpartisan office of the House of Representatives charged with maintaining the official United States Code.² In 2014, Congress enacted a positive law restatement of title 54, ³which pertains to the National Park Service and related programs.⁴ After Congress enacts a positive law restatement of a title of the code, a follow-up bill is sometimes necessary to correct technical errors, make conforming amendments, and incorporate additional provisions. H.R. 5182 is such a follow-up bill. The bill does not change the substantive meaning of any law on the books today.⁵ It simply helps ensure that the code is up to date, accurate, and accessible. Mr. Speaker, The ask · 16 wordsI urge all Members to support this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.
