To make technical amendments to update statutory references to certain provisions classified to title 2, United States Code, title 50, United States Code, and title 52, United States Code, and to correct related technical errors.
H.R. 5210 is a technical housekeeping bill that updates outdated statutory references throughout federal law to reflect previous congressional reorganizations of the U.S. Code. The bill corrects hundreds of cross-references across three major areas: congressional operations (Title 2), national security and intelligence (Title 50), and federal elections (Title 52), ensuring that laws and regulations point to their current code locations rather than old citations. The amendments affect numerous statutes including the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the National Security Act of 1947, the Federal Election Campaign Act, and various appropriations and authorization acts. These are purely technical corrections with no policy implications—they simply fix broken internal references in federal law and correct minor errors like spelling mistakes and mislabeled act names. The bill contains no new spending or implementation timelines, as it addresses only the organization and accuracy of existing legal citations.
