GovTrack’s Bill Summary
We don’t have a summary available yet.
The bill’s title was written by the bill’s sponsor. H.R. stands for House of Representatives bill.
We don’t have a summary available yet.
The summary below was written by the Congressional Research Service, which is a nonpartisan division of the Library of Congress.
The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.
This summary can be found at http://www.gop.gov/bill/113/1/hr1067.
As part of its statutory responsibilities, the Office of Law Revision Counsel, periodically submits to the Committee on the Judiciary its proposals to maintain the titles of the US Code and keep them current. H.R. 1067 was prepared by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel as an update to title 36 to reflect changes in the law and to make technical corrections.
H.R. 1067 updates and makes technical corrections to title 36 of the United States Code, the title dealing with patriotic and national observances, ceremonies, and organizations.
CBO estimates that because H.R. 1068 would make no substantive changes to the law, the bill would have “no significant impact on the federal budget.”
The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.
So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.
We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
