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

The section states that nothing in the review clause or a report issued under it may be read as limiting a federal agency's power to enforce violations of federal statutes, rules, or orders.

What the document actually says

“Nothing in this clause or a report issued pursuant to this clause may be construed to limit the authority of a Federal agency to enforce violations of Federal statutes, rules, or orders.''.”

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

This part does not cut back what a federal agency may do. Agencies may still act on breaches of federal law and rules.

What this is about

A report might name wrongdoing. That does not settle the matter. Agencies keep their power to act on it.

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.
