A report to Congress on the first round of studies is due in three and a half years
What the document says“Not later than 3 years and 6 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to Congress, and make publicly available, a report analyzing the first studies conducted by States under subsection (a)(1), including recommendations for improving data collection on the cost of providing maternity, labor, and delivery services.”
Subsection (b) of section 6104 requires the Secretary to submit to Congress, and make public, a report analyzing the first round of State studies within three years and six months of enactment. The report must include recommendations for improving data collection on these costs.
What the document actually says“Not later than 3 years and 6 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to Congress, and make publicly available, a report analyzing the first studies conducted by States under subsection (a)(1), including recommendations for improving data collection on the cost of providing maternity, labor, and delivery services.”
Within three and a half years, the health chief must send Congress a report on the first state studies. It must also be public. It must say how to gather better data.
The first round of studies is a test as well as a count. This report says what worked and what did not.
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.
