# Plain Language Summary

This bill is essentially a housekeeping measure for federal laws related to Native Americans. It updates references in various laws that point to old sections of the Native American legal code that have been moved or reorganized. Think of it like updating your address book when someone moves to a new house—the person hasn't changed, but where you find them has.

The bill corrects what are called "broken links" in the legal system. When Congress reorganizes or updates laws, sometimes other laws still refer to the old locations. This creates confusion for people trying to follow the rules and for government agencies trying to enforce them. By updating these references, the bill makes sure that when someone reads a law about Native American issues, they're directed to the correct current section of the law rather than an outdated one.

This is a technical fix with no major policy changes. It won't create new rules, take away rights, or change how anything actually works—it just makes sure the legal system points people to the right place. The main beneficiaries would be government agencies, tribal officials, lawyers, and anyone else who needs to understand and follow Native American laws. By clearing up these outdated references, it reduces confusion and potential legal disputes about which rules actually apply.

To make technical amendments to update statutory references to certain provisions which were formerly classified to chapters 14 and 19 of title 25, United States Code, and to correct related technical errors.

Hageman, Harriet M.

 <p>This bill updates references in the <em>U.S. Code</em> 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.</p>
