                       CHAPTER 7--SOCIAL SECURITY
 
   SUBCHAPTER XI--GENERAL PROVISIONS, PEER REVIEW, AND ADMINISTRATIVE 
                             SIMPLIFICATION
 
                       Part A--General Provisions
 
Sec. 1320a-10. Effect of failure to carry out State plan

    In an action brought to enforce a provision of this chapter, such 
provision is not to be deemed unenforceable because of its inclusion in 
a section of this chapter requiring a State plan or specifying the 
required contents of a State plan. This section is not intended to limit 
or expand the grounds for determining the availability of private 
actions to enforce State plan requirements other than by overturning any 
such grounds applied in Suter v. Artist M., 112 S. Ct. 1360 (1992), but 
not applied in prior Supreme Court decisions respecting such 
enforceability: Provided, however, That this section is not intended to 
alter the holding in Suter v. Artist M. that section 671(a)(15) of this 
title is not enforceable in a private right of action.

(Aug. 14, 1935, ch. 531, title XI, Sec. 1130A, as added Pub. L. 103-432, 
title II, Sec. 211(a), Oct. 31, 1994, 108 Stat. 4460.)


                             Effective Date

    Section 211(b) of Pub. L. 103-432 provided that: ``The amendment 
made by subsection (a) [enacting this section] shall apply to actions 
pending on the date of the enactment of this Act [Oct. 31, 1994] and to 
actions brought on or after such date of enactment.''
