Steve Cohen: “H.R. 3237 codifies into positive law as title 51, United States Code, the laws related to national and commercial space…”

“H.R. 3237 codifies into positive law as title 51, United States Code, the laws related to national and commercial space programs. This bill is not intended to make any substantive changes in the law. As is typical with the codification process, a number of nonsubstantive revisions are made, including the reorganization of sections into a more coherent overall structure, but these changes are not intended to have any substantive effect. The current bill is substantially identical to the bill Chairman Conyers and Ranking Member Smith introduced 2 years ago, with a few additional technical clarifications suggested by interested parties. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.”
