“(2) For each entity seeking a grant or contract under this title for a fiscal year beginning on or after the date of the enactment of this subsection, the Secretary shall review the uses of funds, if any, awarded though grant or contract to such entity under this title for the previous two fiscal years and determine if such uses were in violation of section 1008.”.
