This law lets Congress move the U.S. Code publication duties of the House Judiciary Committee to another agency by a joint resolution. Printing and distributing the Code and its supplements must still be handled under the Joint Committee on Printing.

This is a single provision with one proviso. The duties given to the House Committee on the Judiciary by sections 201, 202, and 204 through 207 of this title can be shifted to a different agency, whenever Congress decides to do that through a concurrent resolution. The proviso adds one condition: no matter who ends up handling those duties, the actual printing, binding, and distribution of the volumes and publications listed in sections 202 and 203 must still be done under the direction of the Joint Committee on Printing.
