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

# Summary of HR 4499 **What the Bill Does:** This bill is a housekeeping measure that updates references throughout U.S. federal law to reflect changes in how criminal justice and law enforcement statutes are organized. When Congress reorganizes laws into different sections of the U.S. Code (the official compilation of all federal laws), existing references scattered throughout other laws can become outdated. This bill corrects those broken references and fixes related technical errors to ensure the law books are consistent and accurate. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions:** The bill primarily affects federal agencies, courts, and legal professionals who need to cite and apply federal law correctly.

It doesn't create new policies or change what the laws actually do—it simply updates the "address" where those laws can be found in the U.S. Code. This type of bill is routine maintenance work that prevents confusion and ensures the legal system functions smoothly. **Current Status:** HR 4499 was introduced by Representative Mark Harris (R-NC) in the 119th Congress and is currently under review in committee. No further action has been taken yet. These technical correction bills often pass with bipartisan support since they don't involve policy disagreements.
