Within one year of enactment, every United States attorney must report to the Attorney General. The report details the number of motions for vacatur or expungement filed in that district under section 3771A of title 18, United States Code, as added by section 2, and for each motion the underlying offense, the response of the United States attorney, and the final determination of the court.

“Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, each United States attorney shall submit to the Attorney General a report that details--”
That sentence, in plain words
Each top federal lawyer must send in a report. It is due one year after this law starts.
What this is about
The report goes to the head of the Justice Department. It counts the asks filed in that area. For each one it lists the crime, what the lawyer said, and how the court ruled.
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.

All three reports the section orders: who writes each one, who receives it, when it is due, and what it must contain.
Nothing in the section is left out. It creates three reporting duties and each is recorded.
The section amends no older statute. It refers to section 3771A of title 18, United States Code, which section 2 of this Act adds, and which is indexed here.
