It also necessitates the reporting of specified investments to the Secretary, with enforcement measures for non-compliance and penalties for failure to adhere to investment-related reporting and waiver requirements. The Act requires the Secretary to provide support and technical improvements for compliance, as well as implementing consequences for non-compliance and coordinating a government study for implementing and enforcing the requirements.
