What the document says
“not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, convene a committee of experts in maternal health to study premature births in the United States; and”
Subsection (c) of section 6507 requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to arrange with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine for a committee of maternal health experts to be convened within 30 days of enactment, to study premature births in the United States.
What the document actually says
“not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, convene a committee of experts in maternal health to study premature births in the United States; and”
That sentence, in plain words
Within 30 days of the day this law passed, bring together a group of experts. They study early births in this country.
What this is about
The group is set up through a national body of scientists and doctors. Thirty days is a short clock. The study itself takes longer.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
