Plain Language Summary
# HR 5210 Summary **What the Bill Does:** This is a technical housekeeping bill that would update and correct references in the U.S. Code—the official compilation of federal laws. Specifically, it would fix outdated or incorrect citations in three main sections: Title 2 (Congress and government operations), Title 50 (war and national defense), and Title 52 (voting and elections). These kinds of bills are routine updates that fix errors or references that have become inaccurate due to previous law changes. **Who It Affects and Current Status:** This bill primarily affects government agencies and legal professionals who rely on accurate statutory references when implementing and interpreting federal law.
The general public would not directly feel the impact. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was introduced by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and is a straightforward technical correction measure with no controversial provisions—the type of bill that typically passes with bipartisan support when brought to a vote.
