What the document says
“The primary Federal payment stablecoin regulators shall, before the date described in section 13-- (A) issue regulations consistent with that section to carry out this section; and (B) pursuant to the regulations described in subparagraph (A), accept and process applications described in paragraph (1).”
Subsection (a)(2). Both duties fall before the date in section 13, which is one year after the date of enactment. The applications are to be accepted and processed under the regulations the same paragraph requires.
What the document actually says
“The primary Federal payment stablecoin regulators shall, before the date described in section 13-- (A) issue regulations consistent with that section to carry out this section; and (B) pursuant to the regulations described in subparagraph (A), accept and process applications described in paragraph (1).”
That sentence, in plain words
The watchdogs must act before one set date. They must write the rules for this part. Then they must take in and work through requests.
What this is about
Part 13 sets that date at one year after the law passed. The law passed on July 18, 2025. So the date is in July 2026.
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.

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.
