What is the difference between cross cutting requirements and cross over sanctions?

Answer 1

Crossover sanctions are used to achieve a particular goal in one area by linking it to federal funding in another. For example, the National Minimum Drinking Age Act linked federal funding for highway construction granted to states to the goal of raising the minimum drinking age to 21 across the entire country. If states did not pass a law raising the drinking age to 21 they forfeited the highway funds.

Crosscutting sanctions link federal funding for all state programs to a particular goal. For example, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination based on race, ethnicity or national origin in any program receiving federal funding.

Answer 2

Cross cutting requirements are policies or regulations that apply across multiple sectors, organizations, or programs to ensure consistency and compliance. Cross over sanctions refer to penalties imposed on an entity in one domain for violating rules or regulations in another domain. In other words, cross cutting requirements focus on ensuring consistency, while cross over sanctions focus on enforcing compliance through penalties.
