§ 22003 Federal Law Reference Updates

• •If this law mentions a federal law or rule, it includes all changes made to it, even in the future.
• •You don’t need to check for updates—this law automatically uses the latest version of any federal rule it refers to.

Imagine a state law says you must follow federal rules about wearing seatbelts in cars.

If the federal government later changes the seatbelt rule (like making it stricter), the state law automatically follows the new rule without needing an update.
