A public report on the State studies is due within 18 months
What the document says“the Secretary shall issue, not later than 18 months after the date on which the State submits to the Secretary the data described in such paragraph, a publicly available report that compiles and details the results of such study and includes the information described in paragraph (2).”
Paragraph (5) of subsection (a) requires the Secretary, for each year in which a State must conduct a study, to issue a publicly available report within 18 months of the State's submission, compiling and detailing the results and including the information the study must contain.
What the document actually says“the Secretary shall issue, not later than 18 months after the date on which the State submits to the Secretary the data described in such paragraph, a publicly available report that compiles and details the results of such study and includes the information described in paragraph (2).”
The health chief must put out a report on the results. It is due 18 months after the state sends its data. Anyone can read it.
The states send in their own studies. This report pulls them together in one place. The public gets to see it.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
