To make technical amendments to update statutory references to provisions reclassified to title 34, United States Code, and to correct related technical errors.
HR 4499 makes technical amendments to update statutory references throughout the U.S. Code from provisions previously referenced in title 42 to title 34, United States Code. The bill corrects numerous technical errors in legal references across multiple titles of the U.S. Code, including titles 2, 6, 8, 10, 12, 18, 20, 22, 25, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 34, 35, 40, 42, 49, and 50. It does not change any substantive policy but ensures consistent reference to the correct titles and sections of the U.S. Code. This type of technical bill is routine and affects how legal documents, court decisions, and government agencies cite specific provisions. The bill directly affects all federal legal documents and agencies that reference the U.S. Code.

MODERATE
The engrossed version of HR 4499 makes only minor technical corrections compared to the introduced version. The most notable change is correcting the short title reference for the Jeanne Clery Act from 'Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act' to 'Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act,' which is the correct statutory short name. Two typos were also fixed: a missing space before a U.S.C. citation and 'U.S.SC.' corrected to 'U.S.C.' The remaining changes are spacing adjustments around enumeration markers.
