Section 3 of the Act. It requires the Attorney General to submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on the Judiciary within 15 days of completing the release required by section 2.
What the document actually says
“Within 15 days of completion of the release required under Section 2, the Attorney General shall submit to the House and Senate Committees on the Judiciary a report listing:”
That sentence, in plain words
A report must go to Congress. It is due 15 days after the files go out. It goes to the law panels in the House and the Senate.
What this is about
Each chamber of Congress has a panel that works on law. The report goes to both of them. The clock starts when the release is done.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
