What the document says
“Upon the completion of the report under paragraph (2), the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on Financial Services of the House of Representatives shall each hold a hearing on the findings of the report and the feasibility of establishing a public appraisal-level appraisal database.”
The section requires the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the House Committee on Financial Services each to hold a hearing on the report's findings and on whether a public appraisal database should be set up.
What the document actually says
“Upon the completion of the report under paragraph (2), the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on Financial Services of the House of Representatives shall each hold a hearing on the findings of the report and the feasibility of establishing a public appraisal-level appraisal database.”
That sentence, in plain words
Once the report is done, two committees must each hold a hearing. The hearing covers what the report found. It also covers whether the database should be built.
What this is about
A hearing is a public meeting of a committee. Without it a report can sit unread. This makes the next step a duty.
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.
