To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 905

The section lets a federal banking agency extend a report deadline by 60 days where ongoing circumstances require it to prioritize work promoting the stability of the banking system, and it notifies Congress of the extension and the reasons. An agency may also consolidate several reports so long as each still meets its timing requirement, and nothing in the paragraph limits any agency's power to enforce federal law.

What the document actually says

“A Federal banking agency may extend a deadline described under subparagraph (A) for an additional 60 days, if the Federal banking agency-- ``(i) faces ongoing circumstances that require the Federal banking agency to prioritize activities to promote stability of the United States banking system; and”

That sentence, in plain words

The agency may take another 60 days. It may do that when it must first steady the banking system.

What this is about

A crisis can leave no staff free to write a report. The agency must tell Congress it is taking longer. It must also give its reasons.

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.
