On the recordDecember 3, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 7316. This bill was prepared for the Judiciary Committee by the Office of Law Revision Counsel. In 2014, Congress enacted a restatement of title 54 making it a positive law title. Since that time, Congress has continued to legislate on matters within title 54. H.R. 7316 further updates title 54 to account for those laws subsequently passed by Congress. This bill does not change the substance of any law on the books; it simply updates title 54 to account for laws passed by Congress. I thank my colleagues on the Judiciary Committee for the bipartisan way that we handle these bills. Mr. Speaker, I urge support for H.R. 7316, and I reserve the balance of my time.
