Notes

Editorial Notes

Codification Section was classified to section 162a of former Title 40, prior to the enactment of Title 40, Public Buildings, Property, and Works, by Pub. L. 107–217, § 1, Aug. 21, 2002, 116 Stat. 1062.

Prior ProvisionsPrior provisions prescribing the annual rate of compensation of the Architect of the Capitol were contained in the following prior sections 162a of former Title 40, Public Buildings, Property, and Works: Pub. L. 88–426, title II, § 203(c), Aug. 14, 1964, 78 Stat. 415; Pub. L. 90–206, title II, § 219(2), Dec. 16, 1967, 81 Stat. 639; Pub. L. 94–82, title II, § 204(b), Aug. 9, 1975, 89 Stat. 421, which was omitted as superseded by Pub. L. 96–146, § 1(1). Acts Oct. 15, 1949, ch. 695, § 5(a), 63 Stat. 880; Aug. 5, 1955, ch. 568, § 101, 69 Stat. 515, which was repealed by Pub. L. 89–554, § 8(a), Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 655.

Amendments2022—Pub. L. 117–103 substituted “the annual rate of basic pay for level II of the Executive Schedule under section 5313 of title 5.” for “the maximum rate of pay in effect under section 4575(f) of this title.” 2019—Pub. L. 116–94 amended section generally. Prior to amendment, text read as follows: “The compensation of the Architect of the Capitol shall be at an annual rate which is equal to the lesser of the annual salary for the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives or the annual salary for the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate.” 2001—Pub. L. 107–68, which directed amendment of “Section 203(c) of the Federal Legislative Salary Act of 1964 (40 U.S.C. 162a)” by striking “the annual rate of basic pay” and all that follows and inserting “the lesser of the annual salary for the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives or the annual salary for the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate.”, was executed by substituting the new language for “the annual rate of basic pay payable for positions at level III of the Executive Schedule under section 5314 of title 5” in this section, which is section 1(1) of Pub. L. 96–146, to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
