“I don't want to talk about this. It's just a technical thing. Let's move on.”

“This bill just updates some legal references. It won't change the meaning of anything. We should pass it to make sure the law is accurate. I urge everyone to support this bill.”

Official Congressional Record

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 4584 is a ministerial bill that makes technical corrections and updates to the United States Code. The bill was prepared for the Committee on the Judiciary by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel, a nonpartisan office of the House of Representatives charged with maintaining the official United States Code. In 2016, provisions from chapter 14 of title 25 were moved to four new chapters toward the end of title 25. Certain provisions of chapter 19 of title 25 were also not included in the code, but were subsequently added. H.R. 4584 addresses these changes by updating statutory references to these provisions elsewhere in the code. The bill does not change the meaning of these provisions, or 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 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.
