Redesignates existing 14 U.S.C. section 106 as section 107.
Inserts text after section 107 (as redesignated). The specific inserted text is not provided in the excerpt.
Amends the analysis (table of sections) for title 14 by striking the item relating to section 106 and inserting a revised item (inserted content not shown in excerpt).
Updates how federal law refers to and organizes the office of the “Secretary of the Coast Guard” within the Coast Guard’s section of the U.S. Code. It renumbers an existing provision, adds a formal definition of “Secretary of the Coast Guard” by cross‑referencing the general definitions, and adjusts the table of contents to match. This is a technical, non‑substantive cleanup. It does not create new programs, authorities, spending, or rules. The goal is clearer, more consistent statutory language for readers and implementers of Title 14 (Coast Guard).
Redesignate existing section 106 of Subtitle I of title 14, United States Code, as section 107.
Insert a new section 106 after section 105 that defines the term "Secretary of the Coast Guard" to mean the Secretary of the Coast Guard established in section 201.
Insert a provision after the redesignated section 107 (the text shown in the bill indicates an insertion after the redesignated section 107 but the insertion text is not provided in the excerpt).
Make a clerical amendment to the analysis (table of contents) for title 14, U.S. Code by striking the item relating to section 106 and inserting a replacement item (the replacement text is shown as inserted in the bill excerpt).
Direct impacts are limited to legal clarity and administrative organization. Coast Guard and DHS legal/policy staff gain more precise, consistent references when interpreting or drafting rules and guidance. Other federal agencies, courts, and stakeholders that cite Title 14 benefit from reduced ambiguity and fewer citation errors. There is no expected impact on Coast Guard operations, missions, funding, or services to the public.
