The section amends section 1400Z-1(c)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 so that the determination period starts on the decennial determination date, and adds a new subparagraph (C) defining that date as July 1, 2026 and each July 1 ten years after the one before.

That sentence, in plain words

The next date falls ten years after the last one. It is always a July 1.

The first such date is July 1, 2026. New zones are picked from that date. The cycle then repeats every ten years.
