Plain-language summary
Amends Executive Order 11755 to update its legal citations, replacing a reference to section 4082 of title 18 and the Attorney General with references to sections 3621 and 3622 of title 18 and the Bureau of Prisons. It also adds a new subsection stating that the order's requirements do not apply to purchases made under the micropurchase authority in section 32 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act. The changes are made under authority granted by federal law, including the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, and are intended to improve how the federal government acquires small-cost items.

Legal standing
Not yet published. Court challenges, injunctions and rulings tied to individual orders will appear here once each can be linked to its source record.
Nothing appears in this space without a citation to a court action or a cited precedent. An order with no such record is described as untested, never as likely or unlikely to survive.

Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.
