        efforts to implement subsection (a).
            (2) Ineligibility for funds.--A State that fails to comply 
        with subsection (a) of this section within the period 
        prescribed by or under paragraph (1) of this subsection shall

be redistributed to participating States that have in effect a law 
referred to in paragraph (1).
