Historical and Revision Notes 1982 Act Revised SectionSource (U.S. Code)Source (Statutes at Large) 510331:392.July 23, 1965, Pub. L. 89–81, § 102, 79 Stat. 255. 31:456.R.S. § 3584. The words “All . . . regardless of when coined or issued” are omitted as unnecessary because of the restatement. The word “debts” is substituted for “debts, public and private” to eliminate unnecessary words. The words “public charges, taxes, duties, and dues” are omitted as included in “debts”.
1983 ActThis restores to 31:5103 the reference to public charges, taxes, and dues because they are not considered to be debts. See, Hagar v. Reclamation District No. 108, 111 U.S. 701, 706 (1884).
