To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 206

The section requires the Secretary to report each year for five years, starting two years after enactment, to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the House Committee on Financial Services. Each report must summarize findings on reductions in review times and administrative cost, with particular focus on the affordable housing sector, and carry any recommendations for revising categorical exclusions or exemptions in title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

What the document actually says

“The Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on Financial Services of the House of Representatives an annual report during the 5-year period beginning on the date that is 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 206
That sentence, in plain words

The housing agency must send Congress a report each year. The reports start two years after this law passes. They run for five years.

What this is about

The reports ask whether reviews got faster and cheaper. They look hardest at affordable housing. They can also ask Congress to change the rules again.

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.
