Requirements may be waived and the program ends in ten years

What the document says
“To allow selected eligible entities to effectively administer the Pilot Program and make the required escrow account deposits under this subsection, the Secretary may waive requirements under this section.”
The new subsection lets the Secretary waive requirements of section 23 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 so that chosen entities can run the program and make the escrow deposits. The program ends ten years after the subsection is enacted, and the Secretary may use appropriated funds for technical assistance and for the evaluation.
What the document actually says
“To allow selected eligible entities to effectively administer the Pilot Program and make the required escrow account deposits under this subsection, the Secretary may waive requirements under this section.”
That sentence, in plain words
The housing agency may set aside rules in this part of the law. It may do so to let the chosen bodies run the test. It may also do so to let them put money in the accounts.
What this is about
The test program ends ten years after this part becomes law. Money set aside can pay for expert help. It can also pay for the study.

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.
