Summary

HSA Technical Corrections Act (Sec. 3) This bill makes technical corrections to the Homeland Security Act of 2002. The bill updates obsolete language and strikes out outdated offices and reporting requirements. References to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are updated. The bill: (1) eliminates reference to the Office of Counternarcotics Enforcement, (2) updates a reference to the Director of Central Intelligence to read as the Director of National Intelligence, (3) strikes the provisions of the Arming Pilots Against Terrorism Act and provisions directing the President to submit a reorganization plan to implement the HSA, and (4) revises the term "Hawaiian native-serving" to read as "Native Hawaiian-serving."
