What the document says

“Federal payment stablecoin regulators, the Secretary of the Treasury, and State payment stablecoin regulators should coordinate, as appropriate, on the issuance of any regulations to implement this Act.”

To provide for the regulation of payment stablecoins, and for other purposes, Sec. 13

Subsection (b). The verb is should rather than shall, and the coordination is qualified as appropriate. Section 4(h)(2) states a firmer version for the rules issued under that section, which are to be issued in coordination by the primary Federal payment stablecoin regulators if not issued by a State regulator.

What the document actually says

“Federal payment stablecoin regulators, the Secretary of the Treasury, and State payment stablecoin regulators should coordinate, as appropriate, on the issuance of any regulations to implement this Act.”

To provide for the regulation of payment stablecoins, and for other purposes, Sec. 13
That sentence, in plain words

The bodies that write these rules should work together. They should do so where it fits.

What this is about

This part says should, not must. Part 4 is firmer about its own rules. There the federal bodies must act as a group.

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.
