To make technical amendments to update statutory references to certain provisions classified to title 7, title 20, and title 43, United States Code, and to correct related technical errors.
Summary
H.R. 5204 is a technical correction bill that would update statutory references across three major sections of federal law: Title 7 (Agriculture), Title 20 (Education), and Title 43 (Public Lands). The bill aims to fix outdated or incorrect citations and references that have accumulated in these codes over time. Such technical amendments are routine housekeeping measures that ensure federal law remains internally consistent and that references point to the correct current provisions. If enacted, this bill would have minimal direct impact on citizens but would help prevent confusion and errors in how federal agencies interpret and apply agricultural, food, education, and public lands laws. The bill has passed committee review and is now eligible for a floor vote in the House.
