Equality in Laws Act

HR 4876, the Equality in Laws Act, updates the language of the U.S. Code to use gender-neutral terms. It directs the Law Revision Counsel to replace masculine pronouns like "he," "his," and "him" with gender-neutral alternatives such as "they," "their," or "the individual" in legal titles, where the change doesn’t alter the law’s meaning. The bill specifically targets the titles of the U.S. Code, not the content of laws themselves, ensuring references like "his position" become "the position" or "their position." This affects how federal laws are formally written but does not change any legal rights or obligations.
