To make technical amendments to title 49, United States Code, as necessary to improve the Code.
H.R. 4523 is a technical amendments bill focused on title 49 of the United States Code, specifically Chapter 224, which covers federal financing for surface transportation projects (including direct loans and loan guarantees). The legislation does not create new programs or authorize new funding; instead, it cleans up and harmonizes the Code. Key aims include standardizing definitions and headings, correcting grammar and cross-references, and inserting explicit references to “of this title” to reduce ambiguity when multiple titles could be involved. The bill also updates cross-references to recent statutes and public laws and makes several editorial corrections to improve consistency and readability across the financing provisions. Overall, the bill is meant to improve the accuracy and internal consistency of the financing provisions in title 49, making it easier for agencies, borrowers, and lenders to apply and administer the programs without altering policy or funding levels.
