Bill > HR3496

This bill is a comprehensive technical amendment bill designed to update numerous references in various U.S. Code titles from outdated United States Code citations related to Indian law to new, consolidated citations. Specifically, the bill systematically updates references from older sections of Title 25 (typically sections starting with 25 U.S.C. 450) to newer, reorganized sections (typically starting with 25 U.S.C. 5300 series). These changes affect references in over 30 different titles of the United States Code, including areas such as healthcare, education, social services, telecommunications, and veterans' affairs. The amendments are purely technical in nature, intended to reflect the reorganization of Indian law statutes without changing the substantive legal content. The bill touches on numerous laws, including the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, and ensures that statutory references across federal legislation are consistent and accurate, helping to modernize and clarify legal references to Native American tribal rights and programs.
