Specifically, this legislation, H.R. 7339, fixes cross references and heading names, removes obsolete language, and clarifies some phrases. Congresswoman Ross spoke in support of the legislation on the House floor earlier today.\n\n\u201cUpdating the US Code periodically to make these technical and conforming changes helps ensure the law is accessible to everyday Americans,\u201d Congresswoman Ross said in her floor speech. \u201cThe American people deserve a code that is comprehensible without specialized knowledge, and making the updates in this bill will help make that goal a reality.\u201d\n\nAs a member of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, Congresswoman Ross has been a champion of legislation to bolster the nation\u2019s space programs. The bill was referred to the House Judiciary Committee, on which Congresswoman Ross also serves, and was passed unanimously out of committee by voice vote.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T22:13:55Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://ross.house.gov/2024/12/house-passes-congresswoman-ross-legislation-to-provide-technical-corrections-to-national-and-commercial-space-programs-in-united-states-code"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4791281428188086, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
