To make technical amendments to update statutory references to certain provisions which were formerly classified to chapters 14 and 19 of title 25, United States Code, and to correct related technical errors.

This bill proposes a series of technical amendments to update statutory references across numerous titles of the United States Code. The central purpose of these amendments is to reflect the recodification of certain provisions related to Indian law that were formerly located in chapters 14 and 19 of Title 25, United States Code. These provisions have since been moved to new chapters within Title 25, primarily chapters 51, 52, and 53. The bill systematically identifies and corrects these outdated citations in a wide range of federal statutes. For instance, it amends sections in Titles 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 43, 47, 49, and 50. Each amendment involves striking an old reference, such as "25 U.S.C. 450b," and inserting its corresponding new reference, like "25 U.S.C. 5304." These changes are purely administrative and do not alter the substantive meaning or effect of the referenced laws. The bill aims to maintain the accuracy and clarity of the U.S. Code by ensuring that all cross-references to these Indian law provisions point to their current, correct locations. This comprehensive update is crucial for legal research, interpretation, and the overall integrity of federal legislation concerning Native American affairs.
