How this happens right now with NIH funding is yes, the government basically forces publishers to make things freely accessible - the paper is going in a public repository. Journals that publish lots of NIH funded stuff handle this for the author, while journals that don't tend to make it the author's problem.
And yes, if an author doesn't comply, it can be a problem for future funding.

Will the EU only allow scientists to publish in open journals? > How this happens right now with NIH funding is yes, the government basically forces publishers to make things freely accessible - the paper is going in a public repository. I think you're either mistaken, or you didn't understand the difference between the two original questions. The NIH doesn't force the journals to do anything. The NIH makes it a requirement for researchers they fund to make all publications open access (after some time period), effectively prohibiting the authors from publishing in closed-access journals
