(b) DELAY PERMITTED IF STATE LEGISLATION RE-
QUIRED.—In the case of a State plan approved under part 
E of title IV of the Social Security Act which the Secretary 
of Health and Human Services determines requires State 
legislation (other than legislation appropriating funds) in 
order for the plan to meet the additional requirements im-
posed by this Act, the State plan shall not be regarded 
as failing to comply with the requirements of such part 
solely on the basis of the failure of the plan to meet such 
additional requirements before the 1st day of the 1st cal-
endar quarter beginning after the close of the 1st regular 
session of the State legislature that ends after the 1-year 
period beginning with the date of the enactment of this 
Act. For purposes of the preceding sentence, in the case 
of a State that has a 2-year legislative session, each year 
of the session is deemed to be a separate regular session 
of the State legislature. Except as otherwise provided in 
this Act the amendments made by this Act shall take ef-
fect on the date that is 1 year after the date of the enact-
ment of this Act.
