In the case the Secretary determines that a State is not in compliance with the preceding sentence-- ``(A) the Secretary shall notify such State of such determination; and ``(B) the State shall submit to the Secretary, not later than 90 days after receiving such notification, a corrective action plan demonstrating how the State will come into compliance with such sentence by the date that is 1 year after the date of receipt of such notification. ``(2) Implementation.--Subject to paragraph (3), the provisions of subsection (l)(2) shall apply to a State's implementation of the requirement for the use of an electronic verification system under paragraph (1) in the same manner as such provisions apply with respect to a State's implementation of the requirement for the use of an electronic visit verification system under paragraph (1) of such subsection, except that-- ``(A) the references to `personal care services, home health care services, or both' and `personal care services or home health care services' shall be treated as references to `specified services'; and ``(B) the reference to `electronic visit verification systems' shall be treated as a reference to `electronic verification systems'. ``(3) Nonapplication to certain states.--Paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply in the case of a State that, as of the date of the enactment of this subsection, requires the use of any system for the electronic verification of the furnishing of specified services, so long as the State continues to require the use of such system with respect to the electronic verification of such services. ``(4) Definitions.--In this subsection: ``(A) Electronic verification system.--The term `electronic verification system' means, with respect to specified services, a system under which the furnishing of such services is electronically verified with respect to each element specified in clauses (i) through (vi) of subsection (l)(5)(A). ``(B) Specified services.--The term `specified services' means non-emergency transportation services and applied behavior analysis services.''. <all>
