Makes federal transport laws clearer.

This bill would fix many small errors and unclear parts in federal transportation laws, especially those about government loans for transportation projects. These changes would make the rules easier for government offices and lawyers to read and follow. This would help them do their jobs more smoothly and clearly.

What Would Change

Today, Title 49 of the United States Code, which covers federal transportation laws, contains various technical errors, inconsistencies, and unclear references. This can make the laws harder to understand and apply. If this bill becomes law, it would correct these technical errors, clarify statutory language, update references, and standardize formatting within Title 49 and related acts, thereby improving the Code's accuracy and usability for government agencies and legal professionals.

Key Provisions

Renames parts of current law about direct loans and loan guarantees to have clearer titles, like changing "The term" to "In general" or "The cost" to "Direct loan."
Corrects spelling errors, such as changing "government sponsored" to "government-sponsored" and "an streamlined" to "a streamlined."
Adds missing legal citations and specific Public Law references to ensure all parts of the law point to the correct sources.
Clarifies many sections by adding "of this title" after references to other sections within Title 49, United States Code.
Fixes punctuation, like changing a period to a semicolon in one part of the law.
Changes a heading for the Office of Management and Budget to use lowercase letters for consistency.
