A research copy — for the controlling text, always check the official state or federal source. Not legal advice.

(a)Definitions.— In this chapter, the following definitions apply:

(1)Official guest of the supreme court.— The term “official guest of the Supreme Court” means an individual who is a guest of the Supreme Court, as determined by the Chief Justice of the United States or any Associate Justice of the Supreme Court;

(2)State.— The term “State” means a State of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Palau, and any territory or possession of the United States; and

(b)Application.— For purposes of section 6102 of this title and subchapters III and IV, the Supreme Court grounds—

(1)extend to the line of the face of—

(A)the east curb of First Street Northeast, between Maryland Avenue Northeast and East Capitol Street;

(B)the south curb of Maryland Avenue Northeast, between First Street Northeast and Second Street Northeast;

(C)the west curb of Second Street Northeast, between Maryland Avenue Northeast and East Capitol Street; and

(D)the north curb of East Capitol Street between First Street Northeast and Second Street Northeast; and

(2)comprise any property under the custody and control of the Supreme Court as part of the Supreme Court grounds, including property acquired as provided by law on behalf of the Federal Government in lots 2, 3, 800, 801, and 802 in square 758 in the District of Columbia as an addition to the grounds of the Supreme Court Building and that parcel transferred under the Supreme Court Grounds Transfer Act of 2005.

(Pub. L. 107–217, Aug. 21, 2002, 116 Stat. 1180; Pub. L. 109–214, § 1(c)(2), Apr. 11, 2006, 120 Stat. 326.)

In subsection (a), the definition of “United States” is omitted as unnecessary because, within 40:13f–13p, the words “United States” are used in the geographical sense only in 40:13n(a)(2) and

(c)and the restatement of those provisions, in section 6121 of the revised title, substitutes the words “any State” for “any part of the United States”.

Before clause (1), the words “In this chapter, the following definitions apply” are substituted for “As used in sections 13f to 13p of this title, the term—” for clarity. The terms are not used in 40:13a–13e, so using them chapter-wide does not expand their scope.

In clause (2), the words “the Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federal States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Palau, and any territory or possession of the United States” are substituted for “any territory or possession of the United States” to clarify that the provisions of the source law apply to those jurisdictions.

In subsection (b), before clause (1), the words “In addition to the property referred to in the preceding sentence, for the purposes of sections 13f to 13p of this title, the Supreme Court grounds” are omitted as unnecessary.
