Introduced on February 12, 2025 by Stephanie I. Bice
This bill moves the Constitution Annotated and its updates from heavy printed books to digital versions to save money and make it easier for people to read online. It replaces the old rule that required hardbound copies with a new rule to make and publish digital versions on the Library of Congress website.
Starting after the Supreme Court’s October 2025 term, the yearly update (the “pocket-part” supplement) will be digital. After the October 2031 term, the larger updated edition will be digital too, and then updated every 10 years. These files must be posted on a public Library of Congress website, and the Library must keep them available to Congress and the public. The old rules that required printing extra hardbound copies are ended, and after the 2025 term, the Library will provide these only in digital form.
