What the document says

“A Federal banking agency shall publish materials contained in a report required under subparagraph (A) to the fullest extent possible to promote transparency.”

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

The section requires a federal banking agency to publish the materials in the report as fully as possible. Where it decides particular materials should not be published, it must consult the chair and ranking member of the House Committee on Financial Services and of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, and where after that it finds a substantial public interest in not publishing them, it must give those materials to both committees with a written explanation of its reasons.

What the document actually says

“A Federal banking agency shall publish materials contained in a report required under subparagraph (A) to the fullest extent possible to promote transparency.”

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

The agency must publish what is in the report. It must publish as much as it possibly can. The aim is to let the public see.

What this is about

The agency may hold something back. First it must talk to four members of Congress. Then it must hand the material to both committees with its reasons in writing.

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.
