Making Technical Amendments to Title 49, United States Code, as Necessary to Improve the Code

The House considered H.R. 4523, a bill making technical amendments to Title 49 of the U.S. Code, which covers federal transportation law, including the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing program. Representative Onder, who sponsored the bill, said the changes fix wording and clarity without changing what the law does. Representative Raskin said the bill makes technical corrections following the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and no substantive changes, and urged support. Members of both parties asked for the bill’s passage.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .

“I want everyone to vote for this bill. It makes technical fixes to transportation laws without making any major changes.”
Official Congressional Record

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. The legislation makes a variety of technical corrections to title 49, following enactment of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, but it makes no substantive changes. Mr. Speaker, I urge everyone to support the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
