Except as otherwise provided in this Act, this Act and the amendments made by this Act shall take effect on October 1, 2015, and shall apply to payments under title IV of the Social Security Act for calendar quarters beginning on or after such date, without regard to whether regulations to implement the amendments are promulgated by such date. If the Secretary of Health and Human Services determines that State legislation (other than legislation appropriating funds) is required in order for a State plan under part A or E of title IV of the Social Security Act to meet the additional requirements imposed by the amendments made by this Act, the plan shall not be regarded as failing to meet any of the additional requirements before the 1st day of the 1st calendar quarter beginning after the close of the first regular session of the State legislature that begins after the date of the enactment of this Act.
If the State has a 2-year legislative session, each year of the session is deemed to be a separate regular session of the State legislature.
