Update Statutory References to Title 34

Full Title:
To make technical amendments to update statutory references to provisions reclassified to title 34, United States Code, and to correct related technical errors.

Summary#

This bill makes technical edits to many federal statutes to update cross-references that were moved into title 34 of the United States Code and to fix related technical errors. It replaces older citations (many from title 42 and other places) with the new 34 U.S.C. citations across many parts of the U.S. Code and related public laws. The bill updates references in numerous statutes and titles, including citations related to the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, the Violence Against Women Act, the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, DNA backlog provisions, the Victims of Crime Act, and the International Megan's Law.
