The document says “shallWho acts: Election Assistance CommissionHow: statuteSec. 3 in the PDF
What the document says

“Not later than 10 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Election Assistance Commission shall adopt and transmit to the chief State election official of each State guidance with respect to the implementation of the requirements under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (52 U.S.C. 20501 et seq.), as amended by section 2.”

Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, Sec. 3

Several duties in section 2 are expressed as subject to any relevant guidance adopted by the Election Assistance Commission, so this guidance shapes how the processes for missing proof and for discrepancies operate.

What the document actually says

“Not later than 10 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Election Assistance Commission shall adopt and transmit to the chief State election official of each State guidance with respect to the implementation of the requirements under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (52 U.S.C. 20501 et seq.), as amended by section 2.”

Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, Sec. 3
That sentence, in plain words

A small agency has ten days. It must write notes on how to do this. It must send them to each state.

What this is about

A small federal agency helps states run elections. This bill gives it ten days to write guidance. Parts of the bill depend on that guidance. It does not say what the guidance has to say.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. 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.
