We described the basic spirit of the Act in this earlier post when it passed Congress. It is largely a commitment that we will formulate a strategy and coordinate resources at the federal level. Notably, there were no appropriations (funds) written into the act so, in that regard, there is a risk that the new legislation will be largely symbolic.
Nonetheless, it is a sign of progress toward higher awareness, importance at top levels, and urgency on behalf of the nation. Such a move is a common first step on the path to increased federal funding so I do not despair the current lack of committed funds. This is an important step and, most probably, a step that will catalyze even faster progress in the field.
Nice
