Bill > HR5185

This bill provides comprehensive technical amendments to update and modernize references across numerous United States Code titles, primarily focusing on updating outdated statutory citations related to federal procurement, property management, and administrative services. The bill systematically replaces references to older laws like the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act with corresponding sections in titles 40 and 41 of the United States Code. For example, many sections replace references to specific sections of older statutes (such as "section 3709 of the Revised Statutes") with modern equivalents (like "section 6101 of title 41"). The amendments affect over 40 different titles of the United States Code, ranging from Title 2 (Congress) to Title 52 (Voting and Elections), and primarily involve technical corrections that do not substantively change the underlying legal requirements. The bill's purpose is to improve the organization, clarity, and consistency of federal statutory references, making the code more coherent and easier to navigate for legal professionals and government officials.
