To make improvements in the enactment of title 41, United States Code, into a positive law title and to improve the Code.

# HR 5185 Summary **What It Does:** This bill would make technical improvements to Title 41 of the U.S. Code, which governs federal procurement (government purchasing) and property management. The bill aims to clean up and clarify the language in these laws to make them clearer and more consistent after Title 41 was formally reorganized into what's called "positive law" form—essentially a comprehensive rewrite of existing procurement rules into a more organized legal structure. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects federal agencies and contractors who buy goods and services for the government. It could also impact taxpayers by potentially improving how federal procurement is conducted and regulated.

However, since this is largely a technical correction bill, the practical impact on everyday citizens is likely minimal. **Current Status:** HR 5185 is currently in committee and has not been enacted. The bill was sponsored by Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) in the 119th Congress. Without additional information about committee action, it's unclear whether the bill will move forward for a vote.
