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
301, 302 306, 307 Gorgas Hospital, Canal Zone Canal Zone ended Oct. 1, 1979; U.S. service ended Oct. 1, 1997
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))
225d(c)(1) 705 D.C. General Hospital; D.C. Department of Human Services Hospital closed 2001; mental health now the Department of Behavioral Health (D.C. Law 20-61)
152 502 Battle Mountain Sanitarium Still VA-operated, as the Hot Springs campus of VA Black Hills; the name is the only outdated part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:
