This law orders extra printed copies of the Constitution Annotated and its supplements. It sets exact numbers for the House, Senate, and Joint Committee on Printing. It also lets certain new or former members of Congress request a copy.

This section adds 4,870 extra copies of each hardbound revised edition of the Constitution Annotated prepared under clause (1) of section 168 of this title, and of each cumulative pocket-part supplement to it. Those extra copies are divided three ways: 2,634 copies go to the House of Representatives, 1,236 copies go to the Senate, and 1,000 copies go to the Joint Committee on Printing. Beyond that, two groups of people can request a copy. First, any Member of Congress, Vice President of the United States, or Delegate or Resident Commissioner who was newly elected after a hardbound revised edition was issued — but before the next decennial (once-every-ten-years) hardbound revised edition — and who never received a copy of that earlier edition, may request one. If the request is timely, that person receives the edition, the current cumulative pocket-part supplement, and any further supplements. Second, any Member of Congress, Vice President, or Delegate or Resident Commissioner who did receive a hardbound revised edition but later left office may, upon timely request, receive one copy of each cumulative pocket-part supplement to that edition.

There shall be printed four thousand eight hundred and seventy additional copies of the hardbound revised editions prepared pursuant to clause (1) of section 168 of this title and of all cumulative pocket-part supplements thereto, of which two thousand six hundred and thirty-four copies shall be for the use of the House of Representatives, one thousand two hundred and thirty-six copies shall be for the use of the Senate, and one thousand copies shall be for the use of the Joint Committee on Printing. All Members of the Congress, Vice Presidents of the United States, and Delegates and Resident Commissioners, newly elected subsequent to the issuance of the hardbound revised edition prepared pursuant to such clause and prior to the first hardbound decennial revised edition, who did not receive a copy of the edition prepared pursuant to such clause, shall, upon timely request, receive one copy of such edition and the then current cumulative pocket-part supplement and any further supplements thereto. All Members of the Congress, Vice Presidents of the United States, and Delegates and Resident Commissioners, no longer serving after the issuance of the hardbound revised edition prepared pursuant to such clause and who received such edition, may receive one copy of each cumulative pocket-part supplement thereto upon timely request.
