Title 24
Eleven provisions describe institutions that have closed, moved or changed hands:
| Former section | Draft | Institution | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18, 20 | 302, 304 | Army and Navy General Hospital, Hot Springs, Ark. | Conveyed to Arkansas by Pub. L. 86-323 (73 Stat. 594); deeded Apr. 1, 1960 |
| 19 | 303 | Fort Bayard tuberculosis hospital, N.M. | Veterans Bureau/VA 1922-1965, then the State of New Mexico |

| 13 | 301 | Marine hospitals | Public Health Service hospitals closed or transferred by Oct. 31, 1981 (42 U.S.C. 248b) |
| 14 (asylum clause), 17 | 101, 111 | Naval Asylum | Moved to Gulfport in 1976; now Armed Forces Retirement Home-Gulfport (24 U.S.C. 411(c)(2)) |

| 152 | 502 | Battle Mountain Sanitarium | Still VA-operated, as the Hot Springs campus of VA Black Hills; the name is the only outdated part |
Most of the Saint Elizabeths Hospital chapter (former 24 U.S.C. 225-225h, draft chapter 7) is spent: plans, transfers and appropriations dated 1985 to 1993. The draft carries every row above forward. Of the 31 findings, 23 already carry a question or correction in the draft (some through the chapter-wide question t24-q-0008), and 8 are not raised by the draft: 24 U.S.C. 13 ("marine hospitals"), the Naval Asylum clauses of §§ 14 and 17, the Battle Mountain Sanitarium name in § 152, the 1902 claims and lieu selection in § 153, the abolished and renamed committees in §§ 225b, 225c and 225f, the fiscal 1992-1993 report in § 225h(c), and "legally adjudged insane" in § 321(d)(2).
Title 11
Title 11 is positive law, so a finding here is a candidate for a technical corrections bill, not a codification disposition. Groups:
- References to repealed or redesignated law: FDICIA § 409 in §§ 103(e), 109(b)(2), 109(d) and 781(3) (repealed 2010, which leaves subchapter V of chapter 7 with no possible debtor); § 103(e) for (f) in §§ 901(b), 902 and 943(b)(1); § 1202(c) in § 1226(b)(2); 42 U.S.C. 2751 in § 541(b)(3); § 1182(1) in § 104.
- Spent provisions: § 362(b)(12) and (13) (petitions filed on or before Dec. 31, 1989); the Bankruptcy Act alternatives in §§ 524(b)(1)(A), 727(a)(8) and (9) (six- and eight-year windows that no Bankruptcy Act case can meet); the 1994 phase-in in § 330(b)(2); the Resolution Trust Corporation in § 101(21B)(C).
- Printed dollar amounts: 40 amounts in 11 sections differ from the amounts in force since
Apr. 1, 2025 (
tables/t11-dollar-amounts.tsv). - Nine misprints OLRC footnotes as "So in original".
