        in order for the plan to meet the additional requirements 
        imposed by the amendments made by subsection (a), the State 
        plan shall not be regarded as failing to comply with the 
        requirements of such title solely on the basis of its failure

        the first calendar quarter beginning after the close of the 
        first regular session of the State legislature that begins
