HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
1948 ACT
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §407a (June 24, 1936, ch. 746, 49 Stat. 1899; June 29, 1938, ch. 813, 52 Stat. 1242). Language designating offense as felony was omitted in uniformity with definitive section 1 of this title. (See reviser's note under section 550 of this title.) Words "and shall, upon conviction" were omitted as surplusage since punishment cannot be imposed until a conviction is secured. Reference to persons aiding, abetting or causing was omitted as such persons are made principals by section 2 of this title. Changes were made in phraseology and arrangement, but without change of substance. 1949 ACTThis section [section 30] corrects a typographical error in section 1231 of title 18, U.S.C. AMENDMENTS1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $5,000" in third par. 1949—Act May 24, 1949, substituted "or travels in" for "in or travels" in second par. |
