This bill updates the wording of federal laws to use gender‑neutral language. It tells the House Law Revision Counsel to replace words like “he,” “she,” “him,” and “her” with terms like “the individual,” “they,” “them,” or job titles, but only when doing so does not change the meaning of the law. The goal is to make the United States Code clearer and inclusive without altering what the laws do.

It also directs updates across different parts of the Code: immediate revisions for sections that are already enacted into “positive law,” and a draft bill to update the rest. The bill defines “gender‑neutral language” as wording that refers to all genders without excluding anyone.

Key points

• Who is affected: People who read, apply, or interpret federal laws, including the public, agencies, and courts; the content of the laws stays the same.
• What changes: Gendered pronouns and nouns are replaced with gender‑neutral terms like “the individual,” “they/them,” or a relevant title, as fits the context.
• Where in law: Applies to titles already enacted into positive law and prepares changes for the rest of the Code.
• Why: To use language that includes everyone, without changing legal meaning.
