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

Sponsored By: Representative Harris, Mark [R-NC-8]

Passed House

Summary

Reanchors hundreds of criminal‑justice and victim‑service citations to Title 34 of the U.S. Code. This bill would replace outdated 42 U.S.C. and 28 U.S.C. note references with the correct 34 U.S.C. citations across many federal laws while leaving programs, eligibility, and funding unchanged.

Show full summary
  • Families and victims: Benefit rules and eligibility do not change. References to Victims of Crime Act grants and Violence Against Women Act authorities are rewritten to point to 34 U.S.C., making the governing citations easier to locate.
  • Law enforcement and courts: Statutes covering DNA backlogs, sex‑offender registration, tribal law and order, campus safety, and other public‑safety statutes would cite 34 U.S.C., reducing citation errors when officials and courts look up authorities.
  • Federal agencies and grant administrators: Reporting, appropriations, and grant cross‑references in Titles 31, 34, and others are updated so agencies can link program rules and reporting duties to the correct codified sections.

*No change to federal spending or revenues, since the bill only makes technical citation updates.*
