Requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to amend related regulations to comply with this Act within 90 days.

Requires the Secretary to report to Congress on the status of the Department of Housing and Urban Development "Big Buy" program, and any other voluntary programs the Secretary has implemented or has planned to implement, through which the Secretary has conducted, or planned to conduct, lead evaluations.
