in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary must investigate and consult the Surgeon General after a 24-month waiting period. If new science justifies changing the section 215(a) warning statement, the Secretary must tell Congress. The Secretary must include specific recommended amendments that serve the public interest.

This is one undivided rule. After the 24-month period following November 18, 1988, has ended, the Secretary must carry out an appropriate investigation and consult with the Surgeon General. If that process shows that available scientific information would justify changing, adding to, or deleting all or part of the statement required by section 215(a), the Secretary must promptly report that information to Congress, together with specific recommendations for whatever amendments to this subchapter the Secretary determines are appropriate and in the public interest.
