HR-4499House2025-09-10Crime and Law Enforcement

To make technical amendments to update statutory references to provisions reclassified to title 34, United States Code, and to correct related technical errors.

YourVoice.Now Summary

A pointer cleanup: 313 spots in federal law that cite a moved crime-law section would get the right address.

The details

Nothing you can legally do would change because of this. Federal crime and policing laws were moved to a new part of the United States Code. Hundreds of other laws still point to where those rules used to sit. The fix would correct those pointers in 313 places. The laws touched cover crime victims, missing children, DNA testing, police grants, sex offender registries, and violence against women. A few plain typos and dead cross-references get cleaned up too. No rule gains or loses force here. What changes is whether a judge, a police department, a grant office, or you can look up a law and land on a live section. Every edit swaps one address for another, or spells out an address that was only implied.
