Directing the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make a correction in the engrossment of H.R. 7147.
Summary
What This Bill Does
This House resolution directs a specific engrossment correction for H.R. 7147. In section 230(b), the Clerk must strike the phrase in this Act or any other act and insert for the Department of Homeland Security in this or any prior Act. The same correction must be incorporated into the engrossment of H.R. 7148 pursuant to House Resolution 1014. The resolution is technical, but it matters because engrossment controls the official text sent forward after House action.
Who Benefits and How
The Clerk of the House benefits from a clear instruction for correcting the official engrossed text. House appropriations drafters benefit because the correction narrows the phrasing tied to Department of Homeland Security appropriations rather than leaving broader language in place. DHS appropriations implementers benefit from clearer text about which Acts the section references. Legal readers of H.R. 7147 and H.R. 7148 benefit because the corrected wording reduces ambiguity in the official engrossed bill text.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Clerk of the House must make the text substitution in the engrossment of H.R. 7147 and incorporate it into H.R. 7148 under House Resolution 1014. House enrolling and engrossing staff must update official documents and cross-check the corrected language. Members who preferred the broader phrase in this Act or any other act bear a policy burden because the correction narrows the operative reference to DHS in this or any prior Act.
