Religious freedom and 42 USC 666

[Corcos, Christine]

I think it's done by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives.

I'm not even sure the necessary change would require an Act of Congress.  Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think a statute's codification in the US Code is generally a part of the bill enacted by Congress. If you look at the Statutes at Large, you'll see the future codification in the margin, not in the text.  I think codification is just an administrative function.  

And I assume it would be sufficient for the father here if 42 USC § 666 were changed to 42 USC § 665a, so it wouldn't even have to be moved to a different position in the books.

Here, by comparison, the change is high-level (it requires a Congressional act) but otherwise relatively cheap:  Copy 42 USC 666 to 42 USC 777.
