What it does

• Update statutory references to Indian provisions formerly classified in Title 25 chapters 14 and 19 to reflect 2016 reclassification

• Eliminate obsolete or incorrect references resulting from the prior code reorganization

Official summary

This bill updates references in the U.S. Code to certain provisions in Title 25 (Indians). In 2016, Congress transferred certain provisions in Chapter 14 (Miscellaneous) and Chapter 19 (Indian Land Claims Settlements) of Title 25 to new chapters at the end of the title as part of an effort to reclassify the code. To reflect the reclassification of the code, this bill updates references to Title 25.
