In Case You Missed It: Title 52 of the United States Code Now Available

The Office of the Law Revision Counsel has announced that a new Title of the United States Code is now available.  Title 52, Voting and Elections, took effect September 1 for the electronic version of the U.S.C., which is available here.  The new title relocated voting and election-related laws from Titles 2 and 42 and is characterized as an "editorial reclassification."  For the printed version of the Code, the transfers will occur effective with Supplement II of the 2012 edition.

For more information, see here for the official announcement from the Office of the Law Revision Counsel.  Potential new future titles, which are candidates for positive law codification, include:

Title 53, Small Business
Title 54, National Park System
Title 55, Environment

See here for more information.  If you have any questions about the United States Code (either in its official format or other formats), please do not hesitate to ask a Law Librarian!
