the reallotment, reallocation, or redistribution of funds described 
under subsection (b) to any State, such funds shall be deposited as 
miscellaneous receipts in the Treasury.
    (b) Affected Funds.--Funds referred to under subsection (a) are 
Federal funds that--
            (1) are appropriated after the date of enactment of this 
        Act;
            (2)(A) except as provided under paragraph (3), would

        required by the program or activity.
    (c) Superseding Provision.--If this Act is inconsistent with a 
provision of Federal law relating to a Federal program or activity, 
this Act shall supersede such provision to the extent of the 
inconsistency, unless such provision specifically waives the 
application of this Act.
