What am I missing here?

The regulation changes along with the data will be reviewed in 2025 for implementation in 2026.

Yes the meetings are long but this is something you don’t want to rush through. We also don’t want the ASMFC making last minute knee jerk, unilateral decisions in a vacuum. Now that the regions and states have been given some flexibility on how and when they that want to achieve their reductions, that’s going to take time as well.
