Congress updates old law links in three legal codes.

What it does

This bill fixes old links in three parts of law. It covers government, national security, and voting. It corrects errors so the law is clear and matches itself. The bill does not make new rules or spend money.

Who it affects

The changes affect how courts and government offices read law. Voting officials and voters could be hit if fixes change how rules work.

One thing to notice

The bill only fixes links and errors, but the exact changes are not shown. It is hard to know if any changes shift how rights or rules work.
