condition of receiving the additional Federal funds resulting
from the application of this section to the State for the
quarter, that the State will not take any action to increase
tuition at State two and four-year colleges and universities

certification shall not be eligible for such additional
Federal funds and any State that makes such a certification
and is determined by the Secretary to have taken an action
that results in an increase in tuition at State two and four-
year colleges and universities during the quarter shall pay
the Secretary an amount equal to the additional Federal funds
paid to the State under this section during the period of
noncompliance and shall cease to be eligible for an increased
FMAP under this section for the remainder of the recession
adjustment period.
