1 U.S.C. § 201 — Publication and distribution of Code of Laws of United States and Supplements and District of Columbia Code and Supplements

This law lets Congress skip printing extra copies of the U.S. Code and D.C. Code. The House Judiciary Committee can cut back on slip laws, pamphlets, or printed copies to save money. It can also limit each Congress to one supplement per code.

In order to avoid duplication and waste— (a) Publishing in slip or pamphlet form or in the Statutes at Large: When a law is passed, the House Judiciary Committee can tell the Archivist of the United States to skip printing it as a slip law, pamphlet, or in the Statutes at Large — but only for the volumes or publications listed in sections 202 and 203 of this title. (b) Curtailing the number of copies published: The Committee can also order fewer copies printed and given out for those same volumes. But the Director of the Government Publishing Office must still print enough copies for libraries that are supposed to receive them, and enough to sell. (c) Dispensing with more than one supplement per Congress: The Committee can decide to skip printing more than one supplement to the Code of Laws of the United States or the Code of the District of Columbia for a single Congress. Even so, at least one supplement covering that Congress's laws must always be printed and distributed.
