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

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, 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.
