# HR 4584 Summary **What It Does** This bill makes technical corrections to federal law related to Native American affairs. Specifically, it updates outdated legal references in the U.S. Code that point to old sections of Native American law (chapters 14 and 19 of title 25) that have been reorganized or moved.

The bill essentially fixes "broken links" in federal law by directing courts and agencies to the correct current locations of these provisions. **Who It Affects** This bill primarily affects Native American tribes, federal agencies that work with tribal nations, and courts that interpret federal Indian law. It's a "housekeeping" measure rather than a policy change—it doesn't create new rights or restrictions, but ensures that existing laws remain properly referenced and functional. **Current Status** HR 4584 was introduced by Representative Michael Baumgartner (R-WA) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee. As a technical correction bill, it would typically face minimal controversy, though no vote has been scheduled yet.
