On the recordDecember 3, 2024
I am proud to lead H.R. 7339, which updates title 51 of the U.S. Code with new legislation enacted into law after 2010. This title is known as the National and Commercial Space Programs, and so much of that new legislation came through the Science, Space, and Technology Committee. The bill fixes cross-references and headings, removes obsolete language, and clarifies some phrases. Notably, as you have heard, this bill does not make any substantive change to the law, which is why it passed out of the Judiciary Committee with unanimous support. Updating the U.S. Code periodically to make these technical and conforming changes helps ensure that the law is accessible to everyday Americans. The American people deserve a code that is comprehensible without specialized knowledge, and making the updates in this bill will help make that goal a reality.
