Plain-language change summary

The amendment to HR 5729 includes an addition that specifies the Secretary of Homeland Security must report to certain congressional committees regarding the implementation of a rule every 90 days after the initial report, which is due 30 days following the enactment of the Act. The original text did not include this provision for ongoing 90-day reporting after the initial submission. This change establishes a regular reporting requirement that ensures ongoing oversight of the implementation process.
