means a provision of title 5, United States Code, that is enacted 
by section 3. 
(2) SOURCE PROVISION.—The term ‘‘source provision’’ means 
a provision of law that is replaced by a restated provision. 
(b) CUTOFF DATE.—The restated provisions replace certain 
provisions of law enacted on or before October 19, 2021. If a law 
enacted after that date amends or repeals a source provision, that 
law is deemed to amend or repeal, as the case may be, the cor-
responding restated provision. If a law enacted after that date 
is otherwise inconsistent with a restated provision or a provision 
of this Act, that law supersedes the restated provision or provision 
of this Act to the extent of the inconsistency. 
(c) ORIGINAL DATE OF ENACTMENT UNCHANGED.—A restated 
provision is deemed to have been enacted on the date of enactment 
of the corresponding source provision. 
(d) REFERENCES TO RESTATED PROVISIONS.—A reference to a 
restated provision is deemed to refer to the corresponding source 
provision. 
(e) REFERENCES
TO SOURCE PROVISIONS.—A reference to a 
source provision, including a reference in a regulation, order, or 
other law, is deemed to refer to the corresponding restated provision. 
(f) 
REGULATIONS, 
ORDERS, 
AND
OTHER
ADMINISTRATIVE 
ACTIONS.—A regulation, order, or other administrative action in 
effect under a source provision continues in effect under the cor-
responding restated provision. 
(g) ACTIONS TAKEN
AND OFFENSES COMMITTED.—An action 
taken or an offense committed under a source provision is deemed 
to have been taken or committed under the corresponding restated 
provision. 
(h) LEGISLATIVE CONSTRUCTION.—An inference of legislative 
construction is not to be drawn by reason of a restated provision’s 
location in the United States Code or by reason of the heading 
used for the restated provision.

ETHICS PROVISIONS.

Code as a whole is inapplicable, or providing that an appointment

tion of any provision of chapter 131 of title 5, United States Code.
