To make technical amendments to update statutory references to certain provisions classified to title 7, title 20, and title 43, United States Code, and to correct related technical errors.

# HR 5204 Summary **What the Bill Does:** HR 5204 is a technical correction bill designed to update outdated legal references in federal law. Specifically, it fixes references in three areas of the U.S. Code: Title 7 (Agriculture), Title 20 (Education), and Title 43 (Public Lands). The bill also corrects related errors that may have accumulated in these sections over time.

These are "housekeeping" measures meant to ensure that the law accurately reflects current statutory language. **Who It Affects:** The changes would primarily affect federal agencies and officials who implement laws related to agriculture, education, and public lands management. Citizens and businesses in these sectors could be indirectly affected if outdated references have caused confusion or inconsistencies in how regulations are applied, though such technical fixes typically have minimal real-world impact. **Current Status:** As of the latest update, HR 5204 is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House. The bill was introduced by Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) in the 119th Congress.
