    The Department of Justice has updated its regulations to better describe the current functions of the Office of Legal Policy (OLP). This rule simplifies certain sections by removing outdated references to a non-existing entity and details the responsibilities of the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the OLP. It is considered an internal matter, so it does not require public comment or a delayed start and will not significantly impact state governments or federal-state relations. The changes take effect on January 17, 2025.
