To make technical amendments to update statutory references to provisions reclassified to title 34, United States Code, and to correct related technical errors.
This bill is a technical, non-policy measure designed to update and harmonize statutory references that were reclassified into title 34, United States Code (34 U.S.C.). It amends numerous existing statutes across a wide range of titles to replace old citations (often referencing 42 U.S.C. or other prior codifications) with the current 34 U.S.C. citations and to fix related technical errors. There is no new program, funding, or substantive policy change proposed; the goal is to ensure consistency and accuracy in how laws point to the provisions now codified in title 34. In practical terms, the bill serves as a comprehensive crosswalk update for federal statutes, contracts, regulations, and sentencing/administrative references that previously cited earlier codifications. Agencies, publishers, and legal practitioners would primarily experience a housekeeping adjustment to reflect the reorganization of certain laws into 34 U.S.C.
