What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Equality in Laws Act," directs the Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives to update the United States Code. The goal is to replace gender-specific pronouns and nouns with gender-neutral language. These changes apply to the titles of the United States Code. The updates must not affect the substance or meaning of the titles. This includes specific instructions on how to replace words like "he," "she," "his," or "hers" with neutral terms.
