Federal laws guiding NASA's space missions and research would be updated for clarity.

This bill would reorganize and clarify existing federal laws related to NASA's many programs, from human spaceflight to science education. It aims to make the rules for NASA's operations, funding, and exploration goals easier to understand without changing what the agency is already doing.

What Would Change

Today, federal laws governing NASA's activities are spread across various acts and may contain outdated language or organizational structures. If this bill passes, these laws would be consolidated, reorganized, and updated in Title 51 of the U.S. Code, making them more consistent and easier to understand for everyone.

Key Provisions
