Updates references to criminal law provisions moved to title 34 of U.S. Code and fixes related errors.
The problem
Criminal law provisions were reclassified and moved to title 34, United States Code. Many statutory references throughout federal law still point to outdated locations, creating confusion and potential legal inconsistencies.
The proposal
The bill updates all statutory references across federal law to correctly point to title 34. It also fixes technical errors related to this reclassification to ensure legal accuracy and consistency.
The impact
Federal agencies, courts, and law enforcement will use updated legal references. Congress members and legal professionals need accurate citations. No direct impact on average citizens, but affects how criminal law is administered.
Updating references prevents confusion in federal law. Courts and agencies will find correct provisions without searching through outdated citations. This reduces errors in applying criminal law.
Technical fixes prevent mistakes when federal agencies reference criminal law statutes. Correct citations lower the risk of misapplying laws or legal challenges based on citation errors.
Aligning all references to title 34 creates uniformity across federal statutes. This ensures that criminal law is applied the same way everywhere in the legal system.
This bill only updates references and fixes technical problems. It does not change actual criminal law or policies, so it provides no direct improvement to criminal justice outcomes.
If some references are missed or incorrectly updated, it could create new confusion. Incomplete updates might lead to inconsistent application of law across different agencies or courts.
Congress spent time on technical corrections rather than substantive criminal justice reforms. Some argue this uses limited legislative resources that could address more pressing issues.

No donor data found for current cycle
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
