HR 5185 United States House · 119th Congress

To make improvements in the enactment of title 41, United States Code, into a positive law title and to improve the Code.

This bill updates numerous federal laws by replacing outdated references to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act with new citations to Title 41 of the United States Code. It directly affects federal agencies, contractors, and government officials by modernizing how procurement and administrative procedures are referenced across 40 different titles of the U.S. Code. The key mechanism involves systematically replacing old statutory citations with new section numbers from Title 41, which consolidates and reorganizes federal procurement and property management laws. This legislative update ensures consistency in legal references throughout the federal codebase without changing the underlying substantive rules governing government contracting and property administration.
