“I want to make some small updates to the law. It will not change the meaning. I want to make sure our laws are correct and easy to read.”

Official Congressional Record

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 5210 makes technical corrections and updates to the United States Code. The bill was prepared for the Judiciary Committee by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel, a nonpartisan office of the House of Representatives charged with maintaining the official United States Code. H.R. 5210 makes technical amendments to update statutory references to certain provisions classified to title 2, chapters 44 through 47; of title 50; and of title 52 of the code. These provisions were moved to their present locations in the code in order to improve the organization and readability of the code. Moving these provisions did not change the substantive meaning of any of them. They were simply moved from one place in the code to another. When updating statutory references to these provisions, some technical errors were also identified, which this bill corrects, as well. This bill does not change the meaning of these provisions nor the provisions that reference them. It simply updates references to these provisions to ensure that they are correct. Adopting this bill today will help ensure that the code is up to date, accurate, and accessible. Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to support this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.
