Positive Law Experience

Once passed by Congress and enacted, a piece of legislation is ready to be integrated into the United States Code. That is the function of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel.

For most of my life, there were only 50 titles in the U.S. Code. Just recently, you may have read, a 51st title was added. Well, more are on the way. The Office is working on adding titles 52 through 55. The new titles will be:

Title 52, "Voting and Elections"

Title 53, "Small Business"

Title 54, "National Park System"

Title 55, "Environment"

Be sure to check out these new titles, as well as your old favorites.
