What the document says

“Not later than 180 days after the approval of an application, and on an annual basis thereafter, each permitted payment stablecoin issuer shall submit to its primary Federal payment stablecoin regulator, or in the case of a State qualified payment stablecoin issuer its State payment”

To provide for the regulation of payment stablecoins, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

Subsection (i)(1). The sentence continues that the issuer submits to its regulator a certification that it has implemented anti-money laundering and economic sanctions compliance programs reasonably designed to prevent it from facilitating money laundering, in particular for cartels and organizations designated as foreign terrorist organizations under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189), and the financing of terrorist activities. Regulators must make the certifications available to the Secretary of the Treasury on request. A regulator may revoke an issuer's approval if the certification is not submitted, and a person who knowingly submits a false one is subject to the criminal penalties in section 1001 of title 18, United States Code.

What the document actually says

“Not later than 180 days after the approval of an application, and on an annual basis thereafter, each permitted payment stablecoin issuer shall submit to its primary Federal payment stablecoin regulator, or in the case of a State qualified payment stablecoin issuer its State payment”

To provide for the regulation of payment stablecoins, and for other purposes, Sec. 5
That sentence, in plain words

A cleared maker has 180 days to send in a paper. After that it sends one every year. It goes to the watchdog that cleared it.

What this is about

The paper says the maker has set up checks for dirty money. Miss it and the clearance can be pulled. Lie on it and it is a crime.

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.

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.
