The enforcement mechanism needs to be stronger. Without teeth, this becomes another unfunded mandate.
Small entities should receive different treatment. I propose a tiered approach based on size.
Create tiered requirements by entity size
+ Proposed Text
Section 4(b) amended: "Tiered requirements — Tier 1 (revenue >$50M): 12 months; Tier 2 ($10M-$50M): 24 months; Tier 3 (<$10M): 36 months with technical assistance."
I work with affected populations and can say firsthand this kind of reform is desperately needed.
The reporting requirements seem excessive for smaller organizations. Add a tiered approach based on size.
