Congressional Research service report

CRS issued a report on the Budget Enforcement Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-33), including this description of this section:

Section 10210. Technical Correction. Section 258 (Modification of Presidential Order) of the BBA establishes procedures for the modification by Congress of a presidential sequestration order through the enactment of a joint resolution.¹⁹ Section 13101(f) of the BEA of 1990 added a new Section 258, intending to replace the old Section 258 with comparable, but updated, provisions in Section 258A. In an apparent drafting error, however, Section 13101(f) failed to repeal the old Section 258. Section 10210 of the act repeals that section.

¹⁹ This is the first of two sections designated 258; the second such section is headed “Suspension in the Event of War or Low Growth.”
