``(a) Rule of Construction.--In each case before a Federal court
involving the imposition of a sentence of death on an individual by a
State court for a conviction of an offense under State law involving

construe the imposition of such sentence as cruel and unusual
punishment, and a manifest miscarriage of justice at law.
``(b) Cause of Action for Violations.--
``(1) In general.--A person who is sentenced to death in a
State court for receiving or providing a reproductive health
service, or their estates or successors in interest, may bring
an action under section 1979 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States (42 U.S.C. 1983), including for declaratory or
injunctive relief.
``(2) Right clearly established at law.--In an action
brought under this section, the right against cruel and unusual
punishment shall be considered clearly established at law in
cases where of the sentence of death is imposed on an
individual for providing or receiving a reproductive health
service.
``(3) Residual habeas remedy.--A person who is sentenced to
death in a State court for receiving or providing a
reproductive health service shall be entitled to bring an
action for habeas corpus relief in Federal district court under
section 2254 of title 28, United States Code, and such writ
shall issue if the State court has imposed a cruel and unusual
punishment, or performed a manifest miscarriage of justice,
within the meaning of this section.
``(4) Jurisdiction and venue.--Jurisdiction and venue is
appropriate in any Federal court in which an action under
section 1979 of the Revised Statutes of the United States (42
U.S.C. 1983) may be brought.
``(c) Preemption.--This Act preempts any State law that conflicts
with this section of this Act.
``(d) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) The term `reproductive health services' means the
same as the term is defined under section 248(e)(5) of title
18, United States Code.
``(2) The term `State' means a State, Territory, Tribal
Nation, Federal enclave, outlying possession, or other property
of the United States, and includes local and municipal
governments.''.
(b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections for chapter 13,
title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item
relating to section 250 the following:
``251. Reproductive health services anti-death penalty rule of

1st Session
H. R. 2434
To promote low-carbon, high-octane fuels, to protect public health, and
to improve vehicle efficiency and performance, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 30, 2023
Mrs. Miller-Meeks (for herself, Ms. Budzinski, Mr. LaHood, Ms. Craig,
Mr. Feenstra, Mr. Nunn of Iowa, Mrs. Hinson, Mr. Bacon, Mr. Kildee, Mr.
Carson, Mr. Comer, Mr. Bost, Mr. Lawler, Mr. Flood, Mr. Finstad, Mrs.
Miller of Illinois, Mr. Sorensen, Ms. Slotkin, Mr. Cleaver, and Ms.

Committee on Energy and Commerce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To promote low-carbon, high-octane fuels, to protect public health, and
to improve vehicle efficiency and performance, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Next Generation Fuels Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) continued increases in new automobile efficiency are
needed to improve consumer welfare and reduce carbon emissions;
(2) the widespread availability of low-carbon, high-octane
fuel will allow continued cost-effective improvements in
automobile efficiency by enabling increased engine compression
ratios;
(3) high-octane automobiles and low-carbon fuels are
readily available to consumers at little incremental cost;
(4) ethanol is a cost-effective and low-carbon octane
enhancer;
(5) the widespread adoption of climate-smart practices and
precision technologies by United States corn producers over the
past decade have further reduced the carbon intensity of
conventional ethanol;
(6) on average, ethanol has been estimated to have
lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions that are 46 percent lower
than average gasoline, with some corn ethanol achieving a 61-
percent reduction compared to gasoline; and
(7) ethanol has one of the highest blending octane values
available in the marketplace.
SEC. 3. HIGH-OCTANE VEHICLES.
Title II of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.) is amended
by adding at the end the following:
``PART D--HIGH-OCTANE VEHICLES
``SEC. 261. DEFINITIONS; APPLICABILITY.

fuel described in subsection (b) in--
``(1) emissions testing and certification under section
206(a); and
``(2) fuel economy testing and calculation procedures under
section 32904(c) of title 49, United States Code.
``(d) Formulation.--The test fuels described in subsections (a) and
(b) shall be produced by adding neat or denatured fuel ethanol to the
gasoline criteria emissions test fuel required for use in model year
2022 and later motor vehicles.
``(e) Test Fuel Equations.--For purposes of--
``(1) testing and calculation procedures under section
206(a), the emissions of motor vehicles using the test fuels
described in subsection (a) or (b) shall be based exclusively
on actual measured emissions; and
``(2) fuel economy testing and calculation procedures under
section 32904(c) of title 49, United States Code, the fuel
economy of motor vehicles using the test fuels described in
subsection (a) or (b) shall be determined on an energy-
equivalent basis, which shall be equal to the product obtained
by multiplying--
``(A) the measured fuel economy; and
``(B) the quotient obtained by dividing--
``(i) 114,086 British thermal units per
gallon; by
``(ii) the volumetric energy density of the
test fuel.
``SEC. 263. HIGH-OCTANE VEHICLES.
``(a) Warranty Requirements.--Manufacturers of motor vehicles
described in section 261(b) shall warrant to the ultimate purchaser and
each subsequent purchaser that each such motor vehicle is designed--

H. R. 2435
To define the dollar as a fixed weight of gold, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Mooney (for himself, Mr. Biggs, and Mr. Gosar) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Financial
Services
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To define the dollar as a fixed weight of gold, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Gold Standard Restoration Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) The Federal reserve note has lost more than 40 percent
of its purchasing power since 2000, and 97 percent of its
purchasing power since the passage of the Federal Reserve Act
in 1913.
(2) Under the 2 percent inflation objective of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (in this Act hereafter
referred to as the ``Federal Reserve''), the dollar loses half
of its purchasing power every generation, or 35 years.
(3) At times, including 2021 and 2022, Federal Reserve
actions helped create inflation rates of 8 percent or higher,
increasing the cost of living for many Americans to untenable
levels.
(4) American families need long-term price stability to
meet their household spending needs, save money, and plan for
retirement.
(5) The Federal Reserve policy of long-term inflation has
made American manufacturing uncompetitive, raising the cost of
United States manufactured goods by more than 40 percent since
2000, compared to less than 20 percent in Germany and France.
(6) Since 2000, United States manufacturing employment has
declined by at least 25 percent after having remained steady at
nearly 18,000,000 jobs for more than 30 years.
(7) The American economy needs a stable dollar, fixed
exchange rates, and money supply controlled by the market not
the government.
(8) The gold standard puts control of the money supply with
the market instead of the Federal Reserve, discourages
excessive deficit spending, and encourages the balancing of
Federal budgets.
(9) The gold standard means legal tender defined by and
convertible into a certain quantity of gold.
(10) Under the gold standard through 1913 the United States
economy grew at an annual average of four percent, one-third
larger than the growth rate since then and twice the level
since 2000.
(11) The Federal Reserve's trickle down policy of expanding
the money supply has primarily enriched the owners of financial
assets while it has endangered the jobs, wages, and savings of
blue-collar workers.
(12) Restoring American middle-class prosperity requires
change in monetary policy authorized to Congress in Article I,
Section 8, Clause 5 of the Constitution.
SEC. 3. DEFINE THE FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE DOLLAR IN TERMS OF GOLD.
Not later than the date that is 24 months after the date of the
enactment of this Act--
(1) the Secretary of the Treasury (in this Act hereafter
referred to as the ``Secretary'') shall define the Federal
reserve note dollar in terms of a fixed weight of gold, based
on that day's closing market price of gold;
(2) Federal reserve banks shall make Federal reserve notes
redeemable for and exchangeable with gold at the fixed price
determined under paragraph (1) and create processes that
facilitate such redemptions and exchanges between member banks
and the public; and
(3) if a Federal reserve bank does not fulfill its duties
under paragraph (2), the Secretary shall make the redemption or
exchange as guarantor and place a corresponding first and
paramount lien on all assets of such bank.
SEC. 4. DISCLOSURE OF HOLDINGS.
To enable the market and market participants to arrive at the fixed
Federal Reserve note dollar-gold parity in an orderly fashion, during
the 24-month period following the date of enactment of this Act--
(1) the Secretary and the Federal Reserve shall each make
publicly available, in both electronic and published format,
all holdings of gold, with a report of any purchases, sales,
swaps, leases, and any other financial transactions involving
gold, since the temporary suspension in August 15, 1971, of
gold redeemability obligations under the Bretton Woods
Agreement of 1944; and
(2) the Secretary and the Federal Reserve shall make
publicly available, in both electronic and published formats,
all records pertaining to redemptions and transfers of United
States gold in the 10 years preceding the temporary suspension
in August 15, 1971, of gold redeemability obligations under the
Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944.

building, officers rushed to the campus. They made entry
shortly after 10:13 a.m. and began clearing the building.
(3) Officers report that shots were heard coming from the
second level. On the second floor, in a common area, a team of
officers encountered the shooter where she had been firing
through a window at arriving police cars.
(4) Two members of an officer team, Officer Rex Englebert
and Officer Michael Collazo, fired on the shooter and fatally
wounded her.
(5) The victims were identified as Evelyn Dieckhaus,
William Kinney, and Hallie Scruggs, all aged nine, and Mike
Hill, 61, Cynthia Peak, 61, and Katherine Koonce, 60.
(6) Officer Michael Collazo and Officer Rex Englebert of
the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department exemplified
incredible bravery, valor, and courage against the suspect.
(7) These officers have dedicated their lives to protecting
their community, and their heroism deserves great honor.

national medals for purposes of chapter 51 of title 31, United States

Historic Landmark criteria;
(ii) recommended that the potential for designation
of the route as a national historic trail be further
explored; and

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 38, United States Code, to provide for a presumption of
service connection for illnesses associated with service in the Armed
Forces in the Panama Canal Zone, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Panama Canal Zone Veterans Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. PRESUMPTION OF SERVICE CONNECTION.
(a) In General.--Subchapter II of chapter 11 of title 38, United
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new section:
``Sec. 1120A. Presumption of service connection for illnesses
associated with service in the Panama Canal Zone
``(a) In General.--(1) For purposes of section 1110 of this title,
and subject to section 1113 of this title, each illness, if any,
described in paragraph (2) shall be considered to have been incurred in
or aggravated by service referred to in that paragraph, notwithstanding
that there is no record of evidence of such illness during the period
of such service.
``(2) An illness referred to in paragraph (1) is any illness--
``(A) that--
``(i) is described in paragraph (3); or
``(ii) the Secretary determines in regulations
prescribed under this section warrants a presumption of
service connection by reason of having a positive
association with exposure to an herbicide agent known
or presumed to be associated with service in the Armed
Forces in or near the Panama Canal Zone during the
covered period; and
``(B) that becomes manifest within the period, if any,
prescribed in such regulations in a veteran who served on
active duty in or near the Panama Canal Zone during the covered
period and by reason of such service was exposed to such agent.
``(3) An illness described in this paragraph is any of the
following:
``(A) Chronic B-cell leukemia.
``(B) Hodgkin's disease.
``(C) Multiple myeloma.
``(D) Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
``(E) Prostate cancer.
``(F) Respiratory cancers (including lung cancer).
``(G) Soft-tissue sarcoma (other than osteosarcoma,
chondrosarcoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, or mesothelioma).
``(H) AL amyloidosis.
``(I) Chloracne and any other type of acneiform disease the
Secretary determines is similar.
``(J) Diabetes mellitus type 2.
``(K) Ischemic heart disease.
``(L) Parkinson's disease.
``(M) Early onset peripheral neuropathy.
``(N) Porphyria cutanea tarda.
``(O) Bladder cancer.
``(P) Hypothyroidism.
``(b) Regulations.--(1) Whenever the Secretary makes a
determination described in paragraph (2), the Secretary shall prescribe
regulations providing that a presumption of service connection is
warranted for the illness covered by that determination for purposes of
this section.
``(2) A determination described in this paragraph is a
determination based on sound medical and scientific evidence that a
positive association exists between--
``(A) the exposure of humans to a herbicide agent known or
presumed to be associated with service in or near the Panama
Canal Zone; and
``(B) the occurrence of a diagnosed or undiagnosed illness
in humans.
``(3) In making determinations for purposes of paragraph (2), the
Secretary shall--
``(A) take into account all sound medical and scientific
information and analyses available to the Secretary;
``(B) in evaluating any report, information, or analysis,
take into consideration whether the results are statistically
significant, are capable of replication, and withstand peer
review; and
``(C) consider an association between the occurrence of an
illness in humans and exposure to an herbicide agent to be
positive for purposes if the credible evidence for the
association is equal to or outweighs the credible evidence
against the association.
``(c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
``(1) The term `covered period' means the period beginning
on January 1, 1958, and ending on the latter of the following
dates, as determined by the Secretary:
``(A) December 31, 1999.
``(B) The date on which the last member of the
Armed Forces departed from official duty in the Panama
Canal Zone.
``(2) The term `herbicide agent' means a chemical in an
herbicide, including Agent Purple and Agent Orange.''.
(b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections at the beginning of
such chapter is amended by inserting after the item relating to section
1118 the following new item:
``1120A. Presumption of service connection for illnesses associated
with service in the Panama Canal Zone.''.

natural gas, the taxpayer had a contract with
the registered producer of such renewable
natural gas for the sale of such gas for use as
a fuel in a motor vehicle or motorboat, or for
use as a fuel in aviation,
``(ii) such contract was entered into
before the sale of the blended renewable
natural gas and specifies the number of gallons

described in paragraph (4).
``(B) Limitation.--The amount of blended renewable

of this subsection, the term `blended renewable natural
gas' means compressed or liquefied natural gas which
consists of both renewable natural gas and other
compressed or liquefied natural gas.
``(4) Certification.--A certification is described in this
subparagraph if such certification--
``(A) identifies the product produced and the
gallon equivalent of fuel acquired by the taxpayer for
a purpose described in paragraph (1), and
``(B) is provided such form and manner as
prescribed by the Secretary.
``(5) Gasoline gallon equivalent.--For purposes of this
subsection, the term `gasoline gallon equivalent' means, with
respect to any nonliquid renewable natural gas, the amount of

1st Session
H. R. 2449
To require a strategy for countering the People's Republic of China.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Smith of New Jersey (for himself and Mr. Schneider) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
and in addition to the Committees on Armed Services, Ways and Means,
and Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by
the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall
within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require a strategy for countering the People's Republic of China.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Taiwan Protection and National
Resilience Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. STRATEGY FOR COUNTERING THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.
(a) Identification of Vulnerabilities and Leverage.--Not later than
180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of
Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of
Commerce, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Director of the Office of
Federal Procurement Policy, and the Director of the Office of Science
and Technology Policy, shall submit to the appropriate committees of
Congress a report that identifies--
(1) goods and services from the United States that are
relied on by the People's Republic of China such that that
reliance presents a strategic opportunity and source of
leverage against the People's Republic of China; and
(2) procurement practices of the United States Armed Forces
and other Federal agencies that are reliant on trade with the
People's Republic of China and other inputs from the People's
Republic of China, such that that reliance presents a strategic
vulnerability and source of leverage that the Chinese Communist
Party could exploit.
(b) Strategy To Respond to Coercive Action.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the
submission of the report required by subsection (a), the
Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary
of the Defense, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of
State, the Director of the Office of Federal Procurement
Policy, and the Director of the Office of Science and
Technology Policy, shall submit to the appropriate committees
of Congress a report, utilizing the findings of the report
required by subsection (a), that describes a comprehensive
sanctions strategy to advise policymakers on policies the
United States and allies and partners of the United States
could adopt with respect to the People's Republic of China in
response to any coercive action, including an invasion, by the
People's Republic of China that infringes upon the territorial
sovereignty of Taiwan by preventing access to international
waterways, airspace, or telecommunications networks.
(2) Elements.--The strategy required by paragraph (1) shall
include policies that--
(A) restrict the access of the People's Liberation
Army to oil, natural gas, munitions, and other supplies
needed to conduct military operations against Taiwan,
United States facilities in the Pacific and Indian
Oceans, and allies and partners of the United States in
the region;
(B) diminish the capacity of the industrial base of
the People's Republic of China to manufacture and
deliver defense articles to replace those lost in
operations of the People's Liberation Army against
Taiwan, the United States, and allies and partners of
the United States;
(C) inhibit the ability of the People's Republic of
China to evade United States and multilateral sanctions
through third parties, including through secondary
sanctions; and
(D) identify specific sanctions-related tools that
may be effective in responding to coercive action
described in paragraph (1) and assess the feasibility
of the use and impact of the use of those tools.
(c) Recommendations for Reduction of Vulnerabilities and
Leverage.--Not later than 180 days after the submission of the report
required by subsection (a), the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation
the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, the Director of
National Intelligence, the United States Trade Representative, the
Director of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, and the Director
of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, shall submit to the
appropriate committees of Congress a report that--
(1) identifies critical sectors within the United States
economy that rely on trade with the People's Republic of China
and other inputs from the People's Republic of China (including
active pharmaceutical ingredients, rare earth minerals, and
metallurgical inputs), such that those sectors present a
strategic vulnerability and source of leverage that the Chinese
Communist Party could exploit; and
(2) makes recommendations to Congress on steps that can be
taken to reduce the sources of leverage described in paragraph
(1) and subsection (a)(1), including through--
(A) provision of economic incentives and making
other trade and contracting reforms to support United
States industry and job growth in critical sectors and
to indigenize production of critical resources; and
(B) policies to facilitate ``near- or friend-
shoring'', or otherwise developing strategies to
facilitate that process with allies and partners of the
United States, in other sectors for which domestic
reshoring would prove infeasible for any reason.
(d) Form.--The reports required by subsections (a), (b), and (c)
shall be submitted in unclassified form but may include a classified
annex.
(e) Appropriate Committees of Congress Defined.--In this section,
the term ``appropriate committees of Congress'' means--
(1) the Committee on Foreign Relations, the Committee on
Armed Services, the Select Committee on Intelligence, the
Committee on Finance, the Committee on Banking, Housing, and
Urban Affairs, and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and
Transportation of the Senate; and
(2) the Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Committee on
Armed Services, the Committee on Financial Services, the
Committee on Energy and Commerce, and the Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives.

1st Session
H. R. 245
To establish a grant program for nebulizers in elementary and secondary
schools.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 10, 2023
Ms. Jackson Lee introduced the following bill; which was referred to
the Committee on Education and the Workforce, and in addition to the
Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently
determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such
provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To establish a grant program for nebulizers in elementary and secondary
schools.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Breath of Fresh Air Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) 25,000,000 people, including 7,000,000 children, have
asthma.
(2) Almost 13,000,000 people report having an asthma attack
in the past year and asthma accounts for nearly 2,000,000
emergency department visits each year.
(3) Every day in the United States--
(A) 30,000 people have an asthma attack; and
(B) 11 people die from asthma.
(4) Nearly 5,000,000 asthma sufferers are under 18 years of
age, and 1 out of every 10 school-aged children has asthma.
(5) Minorities are adversely affected by asthma, as--
(A) African Americans are 3 times more likely to
die from asthma; and
(B) Hispanics may have an elevated risk for
exposure to air pollution since a disproportionate
number live in areas failing to meet one or more
national standards for air pollutants. (It is estimated
that 80 percent of Hispanics live in areas that failed
to meet one United States Environmental Protection
Agency air quality standard, compared to 65 percent of
African Americans and 57 percent of Whites.)
SEC. 3. GRANT PROGRAM FOR NEBULIZERS.
(a) Program Required.--The Secretary of Education shall carry out a
program under which the Secretary makes grants to local educational
agencies, to be used by the local educational agencies for one or both
of the following:
(1) To purchase nebulizers for use in elementary and
secondary schools served by the local educational agency.
(2) To provide training to enable elementary and secondary
schools served by the local educational agency to meet the
requirements of subsection (d)(1), but only if nebulizers are
already in use at such schools or are acquired through this
program.
(b) Eligibility.--
(1) Local educational agencies.--To be eligible to receive
a grant under this section, a local educational agency shall
submit an application to the Secretary at such time, in such
form, and containing such information as the Secretary may
require.
(2) Elementary and secondary schools.--To be eligible to
receive a nebulizer through a grant under this section, a
school may be any public or private school served by the local
educational agency, except that an internet- or computer-based
community school is not eligible.
(c) Matching Funds Required.--
(1) In general.--To be eligible to receive a grant under
this section, the local educational agency must provide
matching funds from non-Federal sources equal to not less than
25 percent of the amount of the grant.
(2) Waiver.--The Secretary shall waive the requirement of
paragraph (1) for a local educational agency if the number of
children counted under section 1124(c)(1)(A) of the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6333(c)(1)(A))
is 20 percent or more of the total number of children aged 5 to
17, inclusive, served by the local educational agency.
(d) Training and Coordination Required.--A local educational agency
that receives a grant under this section shall demonstrate that, for
each elementary and secondary school at which the nebulizers are to be
used--
(1) there is a full-time certified school nurse on staff;
(2) the school has the trained personnel and other
resources necessary to use the nebulizers;
(3) local paramedics and other emergency services personnel
are notified where on school grounds the nebulizers are to be
located;
(4) the nebulizer will be integrated into the school's
emergency response plan or procedures; and
(5) the school has procedures in place to ensure that
parents are notified of the availability of the nebulizers, how
to provide their child's prescription asthma medication to the
school, and how to authorize use of a nebulizer to assist their
child when medically appropriate.
(e) Priority.--In making grants under this section, the Secretary
shall give priority to local educational agencies--
(1) having jurisdiction over a geographic area with respect
to which the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention has determined that the prevalence of asthma is at
least 10 percent higher than the national average;
(2) that do not already have at least one nebulizer in each
school served by the local educational agency;
(3) that serve schools at which a significant number of
students, staff, and visitors are present on school grounds
during a typical day; and
(4) that have not received funds under the Rural Access to
Emergency Devices Act (42 U.S.C. 254c note).
(f) ESEA Definitions.--The terms used in this section shall have
the meanings given to such terms in section 8101 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 7801).
(g) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be
appropriated to carry out this section such sums as may be necessary
for each of fiscal years 2023 through 2028.
SEC. 4. CONSTRUCTION.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed--
(1) to create liability for use of a nebulizer or affect
liability for such use that exists under other law; or
(2) to supersede a State law regulating nursing.

Ms. Spanberger (for herself and Mr. Gallagher) introduced the following
bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to establish a refundable
tax credit for commercial truck drivers.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Strengthening Supply Chains Through
Truck Driver Incentives Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. CREDIT FOR COMMERCIAL TRUCK DRIVERS.
(a) In General.--The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by
inserting after section 36B the following new section:
``SEC. 36C. CREDIT FOR COMMERCIAL TRUCK DRIVERS.
``(a) Allowance of Credit.--In the case of an eligible individual,
there shall be allowed as a credit against the tax imposed by this
subtitle an amount equal to $7,500 for the taxable year.
``(b) Eligible Individual.--For the purposes of this section, the
term `eligible taxpayer' means, with respect to a taxable year, an
individual--
``(1) who holds a valid Class A commercial driver's license
(except as provided in subsection (c)) who operates a tractor-
trailer combination that qualifies as a Group A vehicle under
section 383.91(a)(1) of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations,
``(2) whose adjusted gross income for the taxable year does
not exceed--
``(A) in the case of a joint return or surviving
spouse, $135,000,
``(B) in the case of an individual who is a head of
household, $112,500, or
``(C) in the case of any other individual, $90,000,
and
``(3) who drove such a vehicle in the course of a trade or
business--
``(A) not less than 1900 hours during such taxable
year, or
``(B) in the case of an individual who did not
drive a commercial truck in the preceding taxable year,
not less than an average of 40 hours per week with
respect to weeks during the taxable year in which such
individual drove such a vehicle in the course of a
trade or business.
``(c) Special Rule for Apprentices.--With respect to an individual
enrolled in an apprenticeship program registered under the Act of
August 16, 1937 (commonly known as the `National Apprenticeship Act'),
who, upon completion or in the course of such apprenticeship program
will receive a Class A commercial driver's license--
``(1) the requirements of subsection (b)(1) shall not
apply, and
``(2) such individual may count training hours in such
program as hours driving a vehicle described in subsection
(b)(1) for the purposes of this section.
``(d) Special Rule for New Truck Drivers.--Except as provided in
subsection (e), in the case of an eligible taxpayer who did not drive a
commercial truck in the course of a trade or business during the
preceding taxable year, subsection (a) shall be applied by substituting
`$10,000' for `$7,500'.
``(e) Special Rule for Drivers With Less Than 1420 Hours.--In the
case of an eligible taxpayer who did not drive a commercial truck in
the preceding taxable year who drives a commercial truck for less than
1420 hours in the course of a trade or business during the taxable
year, the amount of the credit allowed by subsection (a) shall be the
amount that bears the same proportion to the dollar amount (determined
without regard to this subsection) with respect to the individual under
subsection (a) as the number of hours such individual drove a
commercial truck in the course of a trade or business during such
taxable years bears to 1420 hours.
``(f) Inflation Adjustment.--In the case of any taxable year
beginning after 2023, the dollar amounts in this section shall be
increased by an amount equal to--
``(1) such dollar amount, multiplied by
``(2) the cost-of-living adjustment determined under
section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in which the taxable year
begins, determined by substituting `calendar year 2023' for
`calendar year 2016' in subparagraph (A)(ii).
``(g) Termination Date.--This section shall not apply to any
taxable year beginning after December 31, 2024.''.

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 30, 2023
Ms. Stefanik (for herself and Mrs. Miller-Meeks) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and
the Workforce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to provide for certain
freedom of association protections, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Freedom of Association in Higher
Education Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. PURPOSES.
(a) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are as follows:
(1) Protect any student in a single-sex social organization
or any single-sex social organization from any adverse action
by an institution of higher education based solely on the
membership practice of such organization of limiting membership
only to individuals of one sex.
(2) Ensure any student in a single-sex social organization
or any single-sex social organization is treated without bias
in comparison to students at an institution of higher education
who do not participate in single-sex social organizations, or
other social organizations at an institution of higher
education that are not single-sex.
(3) Protect the rights of students to freely associate with
and participate in social organizations, including single-sex
social organizations.
SEC. 3. FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION PROTECTIONS FOR STUDENTS IN SOCIAL
ORGANIZATIONS.
Part B of title I of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C.
1011 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following:
``SEC. 124. FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION PROTECTIONS FOR STUDENTS IN SOCIAL
ORGANIZATIONS.
``(a) Upholding Freedom of Association Protections.--Any student
(or group of students) enrolled in an institution of higher education
shall--
``(1) be able to form or apply to join any recognized or
unrecognized social organization, including any single-sex
social organization; and
``(2) if selected for membership by any social
organization, be able to join such social organization and
participate in such social organization.
``(b) Non-Retaliation Against Students of Single-Sex Social
Organizations.--An institution of higher education that receives funds
under this Act, including through an institution's participation in any
program under title IV, shall not--
``(1) take any action to require or coerce a student or
prospective student who is a member or prospective member of a
single-sex social organization to waive the protections
provided under subsection (a), including as a condition of
enrolling in the institution;
``(2) take any adverse action against a single-sex social
organization, or a student who is a member or a prospective
member of a single-sex social organization, based solely on the
membership practice of such organization limiting membership
only to individuals of one sex; or
``(3) impose a recruitment restriction (including a
recruitment restriction relating to the schedule for membership
recruitment) on a single-sex social organization recognized by
the institution, which is not imposed upon other student
organizations by the institution, unless the organization (or a
council of similar organizations) and the institution have
entered into a mutually agreed-upon written agreement that
allows the institution to impose such restriction.
``(c) Rules of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall--
``(1) require an institution of higher education to
officially recognize a social organization, including a single-
sex social organization;
``(2) prohibit an institution of higher education from
taking an adverse action against a student who joins a social
organization, including a single-sex social organization, for a
reason including academic misconduct or nonacademic misconduct,
or because the organization's purpose poses a clear harm to
students or employees of the institution, so long as that
adverse action is not based solely on the membership practice
of the organization of limiting membership only to individuals
of one sex;
``(3) prevent a social organization from regulating its own
membership;
``(4) inhibit the ability of the faculty of an institution
of higher education to express an opinion (either individually
or collectively) about membership in a single-sex social
organization, or otherwise inhibit the academic freedom of such
faculty to research, write, or publish material about
membership in such an organization; or
``(5) create enforceable rights against a social
organization or against an institution of higher education due
to the decision of such social organization to deny membership
to an individual student.
``(d) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) Adverse action.--The term `adverse action' includes
the following actions taken by an institution of higher
education with respect to a single-sex social organization or a
member or prospective member of a single-sex social
organization:
``(A) Expulsion, suspension, probation, censure,
condemnation, formal reprimand, or any other
disciplinary action, coercive action, or sanction taken
by an institution of higher education or administrative
unit of such institution.
``(B) An oral or written warning with respect to an
action described in subparagraph (A) made by an
official of an institution of higher education acting
in their official capacity.
``(C) An action to deny participation in any
education program or activity, including the
withholding of any rights, privileges, or opportunities
afforded other students on campus.
``(D) An action to withhold, in whole or in part,
any financial assistance (including scholarships and
on-campus employment), or denying the opportunity to
apply for financial assistance, a scholarship, a
graduate fellowship, or on-campus employment.
``(E) An action to deny or restrict access to on-
campus housing.
``(F) An act to deny any certification,
endorsement, or letter of recommendation that may be
required by a student's current or future employer, a
government agency, a licensing board, an institution of
higher education, a scholarship program, or a graduate
fellowship to which the student applies or seeks to
apply.
``(G) An action to deny participation in any sports
team, club, or other student organization, including a
denial of any leadership position in any sports team,
club, or other student organization.
``(H) An action to withdraw the institution's
official recognition of such organization.
``(I) An action to require any student to certify
that such student is not a member of a single-sex
social organization or to disclose the student's
membership in a single-sex social organization.
``(J) An action to interject an institution's own
criteria into the membership practices of the
organization in any manner that conflicts with the
rights of such organization under title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.)
or this section.
``(2) Single-sex social organization.--The term `single-sex
social organization' means--
``(A) a social fraternity or sorority described in
section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
which is exempt from taxation under section 501(a) of
such Code, or an organization that has been
historically single-sex, the active membership of which
consists primarily of students or alumni of an
institution of higher education; or
``(B) a single-sex private social club (including
an independent organization located off-campus) that
consists primarily of students or alumni of an
institution of higher education.''.

To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to prohibit certain

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Tiffany (for himself, Mr. Gallagher, Ms. Tenney, and Ms. Mace)
introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on
House Administration
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to prohibit certain
political committees from compensating the spouse of the candidate for
services provided to or on behalf of the committee, to require such
committees to report on payments made to the spouse and the immediate
family members of the candidate, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Oversight for Members And Relatives
Act'' or the ``OMAR Act''.
SEC. 2. PROHIBITING USE OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS TO COMPENSATE SPOUSES OF
CANDIDATES; DISCLOSURE OF PAYMENTS MADE TO SPOUSES AND
FAMILY MEMBERS.
(a) Prohibition; Disclosure.--Section 313 of the Federal Election
Campaign Act of 1971 (52 U.S.C. 30114) is amended by adding at the end
the following new subsection:
``(c) Prohibiting Compensation of Spouses; Disclosure of Payments
to Spouses and Family Members.--
``(1) Prohibiting compensation of spouses.--Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Act, no authorized committee of a
candidate or any other political committee established,
maintained, or controlled by a candidate or an individual
holding Federal office (other than a political committee of a
political party) shall directly or indirectly compensate the
spouse of the candidate or individual (as the case may be) for
services provided to or on behalf of the committee.
``(2) Disclosure of payments to spouses and immediate
family members.--In addition to any other information included
in a report submitted under section 304 by a committee
described in paragraph (1), the committee shall include in the
report a separate statement of any payments, including direct
or indirect compensation, made to the spouse or any immediate
family member of the candidate or individual involved during
the period covered by the report.
``(3) Immediate family member defined.--In this subsection,
the term `immediate family member' means the son, daughter,
son-in-law, daughter-in-law, mother, father, brother, sister,
brother-in-law, sister-in-law, or grandchild of the candidate
or individual involved.''.
(b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 313(a)(1) of such Act (52 U.S.C.
30114(a)(1)) is amended by striking ``for otherwise'' and inserting
``subject to subsection (c), for otherwise''.
SEC. 3. IMPOSITION OF PENALTY AGAINST CANDIDATE OR OFFICEHOLDER.
(a) In General.--Section 309 of the Federal Election Campaign Act
of 1971 (52 U.S.C. 30109) is amended by adding at the end the following
new subsection:
``(e) In the case of a violation of section 313(c) committed by a
committee described in such section, if the candidate or individual
involved knew of the violation, any penalty imposed under this section
shall be imposed on the candidate or individual and not on the
committee.''.
(b) Prohibiting Reimbursement by Committee.--Section 313(c) of such
Act (52 U.S.C. 30114(c)), as added by section 2(a), is amended--
(1) by redesignating paragraph (3) as paragraph (4); and
(2) by inserting after paragraph (2) the following new
paragraph:
``(3) Prohibiting reimbursement by committee of penalty
paid by candidate for violations.--A committee described in
paragraph (1) may not make any payment to reimburse the
candidate or individual involved for any penalty imposed for a
violation of this subsection which is required to be paid by
the candidate or individual under section 309(e).''.
SEC. 4. EFFECTIVE DATE.
The amendments made by this Act shall apply with respect to
compensation and payments made on or after the date of enactment of
this Act.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 2453
To amend section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to
reform immigration parole, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Tiffany introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to
reform immigration parole, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Immigration Parole Reform Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. IMMIGRATION PAROLE REFORM.
Section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1182(d)(5)) is amended to read as follows:
``(5)(A) Except as provided in subparagraphs (B) and (C)
and section 214(f), the Secretary of Homeland Security, in the
discretion of the Secretary, may temporarily parole into the
United States any alien applying for admission to the United
States who is not present in the United States, under such
conditions as the Secretary may prescribe, on a case-by-case
basis, and not according to eligibility criteria describing an
entire class of potential parole recipients, for urgent
humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. Parole
granted under this subparagraph may not be regarded as an
admission of the alien. When the purposes of such parole have
been served in the opinion of the Secretary, the alien shall
immediately return or be returned to the custody from which the
alien was paroled. After such return, the case of the alien
shall be dealt with in the same manner as the case of any other
applicant for admission to the United States.
``(B) The Secretary of Homeland Security may grant parole
to any alien who--
``(i) is present in the United States without
lawful immigration status;
``(ii) is the beneficiary of an approved petition
under section 203(a);
``(iii) is not otherwise inadmissible or removable;
and
``(iv) is the spouse or child of a member of the
Armed Forces serving on active duty.
``(C) The Secretary of Homeland Security may grant parole
to any alien--
``(i) who is a national of the Republic of Cuba and
is living in the Republic of Cuba;
``(ii) who is the beneficiary of an approved
petition under section 203(a);
``(iii) for whom an immigrant visa is not
immediately available;
``(iv) who meets all eligibility requirements for
an immigrant visa;
``(v) who is not otherwise inadmissible; and
``(vi) who is receiving a grant of parole in
furtherance of the commitment of the United States to
the minimum level of annual legal migration of Cuban
nationals to the United States specified in the U.S.-
Cuba Joint Communique on Migration, done at New York
September 9, 1994, and reaffirmed in the Cuba-United
States: Joint Statement on Normalization of Migration,
Building on the Agreement of September 9, 1994, done at
New York May 2, 1995.
``(D) The Secretary of Homeland Security may grant parole
to an alien who is returned to a contiguous country under
section 235(b)(2)(C) to allow the alien to attend the alien's
immigration hearing. The grant of parole shall not exceed the
time required for the alien to be escorted to, and attend, the
alien's immigration hearing scheduled on the same calendar day
as the grant, and to immediately thereafter be escorted back to
the contiguous country. A grant of parole under this
subparagraph shall not be considered for purposes of
determining whether the alien is inadmissible under this Act.
``(E) For purposes of determining an alien's eligibility
for parole under subparagraph (A), an urgent humanitarian
reason shall be limited to circumstances in which the alien
establishes that--
``(i)(I) the alien has a medical emergency; and
``(II)(aa) the alien cannot obtain necessary
treatment in the foreign state in which the alien is
residing; or
``(bb) the medical emergency is life-threatening
and there is insufficient time for the alien to be
admitted through the normal visa process;
``(ii) the alien is the parent or legal guardian of
an alien described in clause (i) and the alien
described in clause (i) is a minor;
``(iii) the alien is needed in the United States in
order to donate an organ or other tissue for transplant
and there is insufficient time for the alien to be
admitted through the normal visa process;
``(iv) the alien has a close family member in the
United States whose death is imminent and the alien
could not arrive in the United States in time to see
such family member alive if the alien were to be
admitted through the normal visa process;
``(v) the alien is seeking to attend the funeral of
a close family member and the alien could not arrive in
the United States in time to attend such funeral if the
alien were to be admitted through the normal visa
process;
``(vi) the alien is an adopted child with an urgent
medical condition who is in the legal custody of the
petitioner for a final adoption-related visa and whose
medical treatment is required before the expected award
of a final adoption-related visa; or
``(vii) the alien is a lawful applicant for
adjustment of status under section 245 and is returning
to the United States after temporary travel abroad.
``(F) For purposes of determining an alien's eligibility
for parole under subparagraph (A), a significant public benefit
may be determined to result from the parole of an alien only
if--
``(i) the alien has assisted (or will assist,
whether knowingly or not) the United States Government
in a law enforcement matter;
``(ii) the alien's presence is required by the
Government in furtherance of such law enforcement
matter; and
``(iii) the alien is inadmissible, does not satisfy
the eligibility requirements for admission as a
nonimmigrant, or there is insufficient time for the
alien to be admitted through the normal visa process.
``(G) For purposes of determining an alien's eligibility
for parole under subparagraph (A), the term `case-by-case
basis' means that the facts in each individual case are
considered and parole is not granted based on membership in a
defined class of aliens to be granted parole. The fact that
aliens are considered for or granted parole one-by-one and not
as a group is not sufficient to establish that the parole
decision is made on a `case-by-case basis'.
``(H) The Secretary of Homeland Security may not use the
parole authority under this paragraph to parole an alien into
the United States for any reason or purpose other than those
described in subparagraphs (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F).
``(I) An alien granted parole may not accept employment,
except that an alien granted parole pursuant to subparagraph
(B) or (C) is authorized to accept employment for the duration
of the parole, as evidenced by an employment authorization
document issued by the Secretary of Homeland Security.
``(J) Parole granted after a departure from the United
States shall not be regarded as an admission of the alien. An
alien granted parole, whether as an initial grant of parole or
parole upon reentry into the United States, is not eligible to
adjust status to lawful permanent residence or for any other
immigration benefit if the immigration status the alien had at
the time of departure did not authorize the alien to adjust
status or to be eligible for such benefit.
``(K)(i) Except as provided in clauses (ii) and (iii),
parole shall be granted to an alien under this paragraph for
the shorter of--
``(I) a period of sufficient length to accomplish
the activity described in subparagraph (D), (E), or (F)
for which the alien was granted parole; or
``(II) 1 year.
``(ii) Grants of parole pursuant to subparagraph (A) may be
extended once, in the discretion of the Secretary, for an
additional period that is the shorter of--
``(I) the period that is necessary to accomplish
the activity described in subparagraph (E) or (F) for
which the alien was granted parole; or
``(II) 1 year.
``(iii) Aliens who have a pending application to adjust
status to permanent residence under section 245 may request
extensions of parole under this paragraph, in 1-year
increments, until the application for adjustment has been
adjudicated. Such parole shall terminate immediately upon the
denial of such adjustment application.
``(L) Not later than 90 days after the last day of each
fiscal year, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit to
the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate and the Committee
on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and make
available to the public, a report--
``(i) identifying the total number of aliens
paroled into the United States under this paragraph
during the previous fiscal year; and
``(ii) containing information and data regarding
all aliens paroled during such fiscal year, including--
``(I) the duration of parole;
``(II) the type of parole; and
``(III) the current status of the aliens so
paroled.''.
SEC. 3. IMPLEMENTATION.
(a) In General.--Except as provided in subsection (b), this Act and
the amendments made by this Act shall take effect on the date that is
30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.
(b) Exceptions.--Notwithstanding subsection (a), each of the
following exceptions apply:
(1) Any application for parole or advance parole filed by
an alien before the date of the enactment of this Act shall be
adjudicated under the law that was in effect on the date on
which the application was properly filed and any approved
advance parole shall remain valid under the law that was in
effect on the date on which the advance parole was approved.
(2) Section 212(d)(5)(J) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act, as added by section 2, shall take effect on the date of
the enactment of this Act.
(3) Aliens who were paroled into the United States pursuant

(8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(5)(A)) before January 1, 2023, shall continue
to be subject to the terms of parole that were in effect on the
date on which their respective parole was approved.
SEC. 4. CAUSE OF ACTION.
Any person, State, or local government that experiences financial
harm in excess of $1,000 due to a failure of the Federal Government to
lawfully apply the provisions of this Act or the amendments made by
this Act shall have standing to bring a civil action against the
Federal Government in an appropriate district court of the United
States for appropriate relief.
SEC. 5. SEVERABILITY.
If any provision of this Act or any amendment by this Act, or the

1st Session
H. R. 2454
To direct the Secretary of Defense to carry out a grant program to
increase cooperation on post-traumatic stress disorder research between
the United States and Israel.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Waltz (for himself and Mr. Ryan) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To direct the Secretary of Defense to carry out a grant program to
increase cooperation on post-traumatic stress disorder research between
the United States and Israel.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``United States-Israel PTSD
Collaborative Research Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Department of Veterans Affairs reports that between
11 and 20 percent of veterans who served in Operation Iraqi
Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom have post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) in a given year. In addition, that
figure amounts to about 12 percent of Gulf War veterans and up
to 30 percent of Vietnam veterans.
(2) The Department of Veterans Affairs reports that among
women veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, almost
20 percent have been diagnosed with PTSD.
(3) In the United States, it is thought that 70 percent of
Americans have experienced at least one traumatic event in
their lifetime, and approximately 20 percent of those persons
have struggled or continue to struggle with symptoms of PTSD.
(4) Studies show that PTSD has links to homelessness and
substance abuse in the United States. The Department of
Veterans Affairs estimates that approximately 11 percent of the
homeless population are veterans and the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration estimates that about 7
percent of veterans have a substance abuse disorder.
(5) Our ally Israel, under constant attack from terrorist
groups, experiences similar issues with Israeli veterans facing
PTSD symptoms. Tel Aviv University's National Center for
Traumatic Stress and Resilience found that 5 to 8 percent of
combat soldiers experience some form of PTSD, and during
wartime, that figure rises to 15 to 20 percent.
(6) Current treatment options in the United States focus on
cognitive therapy, exposure therapy, or eye movement
desensitization and reprocessing, but the United States must
continue to look for more effective treatments. Several leading
Israeli hospitals, academic institutions, and nonprofits
dedicate research and services to treating PTSD.
SEC. 3. GRANT PROGRAM FOR INCREASED COOPERATION ON POST-TRAUMATIC
STRESS DISORDER RESEARCH BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND
ISRAEL.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
Secretary of Defense, acting through the Psychological Health and
Traumatic Brain Injury Research Program, should seek to explore
scientific collaboration between American academic institutions and
nonprofit research entities, and Israeli institutions with expertise in
researching, diagnosing, and treating post-traumatic stress disorder.
(b) Grant Program.--The Secretary of Defense, in coordination with
the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Secretary of State, shall
award grants to eligible entities to carry out collaborative research
between the United States and Israel with respect to post-traumatic
stress disorders. The Secretary of Defense shall carry out the grant
program under this section in accordance with the agreement titled
``Agreement Between the Government of the United States of America and
the Government of Israel on the United States-Israel Binational Science
Foundation'', dated September 27, 1972.
(c) Eligible Entities.--To be eligible to receive a grant under
this section, an entity shall be an academic institution or a nonprofit
entity located in the United States.
(d) Award.--The Secretary shall award grants under this section to
eligible entities that--
(1) carry out a research project that--
(A) addresses a requirement in the area of post-
traumatic stress disorders that the Secretary
determines appropriate to research using such grant;
and
(B) is conducted by the eligible entity and an
entity in Israel under a joint research agreement; and
(2) meet such other criteria that the Secretary may
establish.
(e) Application.--To be eligible to receive a grant under this
section, an eligible entity shall submit an application to the
Secretary at such time, in such manner, and containing such commitments
and information as the Secretary may require.
(f) Gift Authority.--The Secretary may accept, hold, and
administer, any gift of money made on the condition that the gift be
used for the purpose of the grant program under this section. Such
gifts of money accepted under this subsection shall be deposited in the
Treasury in the Department of Defense General Gift Fund and shall be
available, subject to appropriation, without fiscal year limitation.
(g) Reports.--Not later than 180 days after the date on which an
eligible entity completes a research project using a grant under this
section, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report that
contains--
(1) a description of how the eligible entity used the
grant; and
(2) an evaluation of the level of success of the research
project.
(h) Termination.--The authority to award grants under this section
shall terminate on the date that is 7 years after the date on which the
first such grant is awarded.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Consumer Online Payment Transparency
and Integrity Act''.

negative option feature or any other automatic renewal provision shall
disclose such feature or provision and the cancellation procedure
clearly and conspicuously in the contract.
(b) Automatic Renewal.--A person who sells a good or service to a
consumer pursuant to a contract that will automatically renew unless
the consumer cancels the contract, shall--
(1) notify, in the same manner as the consumer entered into
the contract, the consumer of--
(A) the first automatic renewal (and of each
automatic renewal thereafter) not less than 7 days (or
a longer time period as determined appropriate by the
Commission) before the commencement of the renewal
period; and
(B) how the consumer may cancel the contract, which
shall include--
(i) an online mechanism for cancellation
provided by the person; and
(ii) a toll-free telephone number, email
address, postal mail address, or other cost-
effective, timely, and easy-to-use mechanism
for cancellation provided by the person;
(2) on an annual basis and notwithstanding the consumer's
consent to the initial term (or any subsequent term), obtain
the consumer's express informed consent to renew the contract
before charging the consumer for the renewal; and
(3) notwithstanding the consumer's consent to the initial
term (or any subsequent term), in the event that the person has
actual knowledge that the consumer has not used the good or
service provided under the contract for a period of 6
consecutive months since the consumer's most recent express
informed consent--
(A) obtain the consumer's express informed consent
to the automatic renewal before charging the consumer
for the automatic renewal; and
(B) notify the consumer that the consumer has a
right to terminate the contract and receive a prorated
refund for the remaining portion of contract.
(c) Free Trial.--A person who sells a good or service to a consumer
pursuant to a contract that includes a free-to-pay conversion feature
with a free trial period, shall--
(1) notify, in the same manner as the consumer entered into
the contract, the consumer of--
(A) the automatic renewal not less than 7 days (or
a longer time period as determined appropriate by the
Commission) before the expiration of the free trial
period; and
(B) how the consumer may cancel the contract, which
shall include--
(i) an online mechanism for cancellation
provided by the person; and
(ii) a toll-free telephone number, email
address, postal mail address, or other cost-
effective, timely, and easy-to-use mechanism
for cancellation provided by the person; and
(2) notwithstanding the consumer's consent to the free
trial, obtain the consumer's express informed consent to the
automatic renewal not less than 7 days (or a longer time period
as determined appropriate by the Commission) before the
expiration of the free trial period and before charging the
consumer for the automatic renewal.
(d) Automatic Renewal Void.--In the case of a violation of
subsection (a), (b), or (c)--
(1) the applicable automatic renewal provision shall be
void, and the contract shall terminate upon the occurrence of
such violation; and
(2) the person who violated subsection (a), (b), or (c)
shall provide the consumer with a refund for all amounts paid
by the consumer due to such violation.
(e) Dark Patterns.--With respect to a contract that includes a
free-to-pay conversion or negative option feature or any other
automatic renewal provision, a consumer's consent obtained through the
use of dark patterns shall not be considered express informed consent.
(f) Exemptions.--The requirements under subsections (a), (b), (c),
and (d) shall not apply to a service contract or any other person or
contract determined appropriate by the Commission.
(g) Effective Date.--The requirements under this section shall take
effect on the date that is 1 year after the date of enactment of this
Act.
SEC. 3. ENFORCEMENT BY THE COMMISSION.

1st Session
H. R. 2461
To ratify a Treaty between the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe and the
Navajo Nation, to provide for the creation of a reservation for the San
Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 3, 2023
Mr. Crane introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Natural Resources
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To ratify a Treaty between the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe and the
Navajo Nation, to provide for the creation of a reservation for the San
Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``San Juan Southern Paiute Tribal
Homelands Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) The San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe is a federally
recognized Indian Tribe that has occupied its ancestral
homelands in northern Arizona and southern Utah since time
immemorial.
(2) The San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe was federally
recognized on December 11, 1989, though the United States did
not create a reservation for its exclusive benefit at that
time.
(3) The Navajo Indian Reservation was originally
established by the 1868 Navajo Treaty (15 Stat. 667) and
expanded in Arizona and Utah by various Executive orders and
Acts of Congress, including, but not limited to, Executive
order of May 17, 1884; Executive order of January 8, 1900;
Public Law 72-403, 47 Stat. 1418 (1933); and Public Law 73-352,
48 Stat. 960 (1934).
(4) The Navajo Indian Reservation presently encompasses
lands of the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe as described in the
Treaty between the Navajo Nation and the San Juan Southern
Paiute Tribe.
(5) While the Dine people of the Navajo Nation and the
Paiute people of the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe have a long
history as neighboring communities, the San Juan Southern
Paiute people are a separate and culturally distinct Tribe
residing within their ancestral lands.
(6) The existence of the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe
within the exterior boundaries of the Navajo Indian Reservation
and the lack of an exclusive reservation land base causes
particular hardship for the people of the San Juan Southern
Paiute Tribe, preventing the Tribe from providing adequate
housing, infrastructure, healthcare, community services, and
public safety for its people.
(7) The San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe and the Navajo
Nation entered into a Treaty on March 18, 2000, to resolve and
clarify the sovereign authority of both Tribal nations, to
provide a permanent homeland for the San Juan Southern Paiute
Tribe, and to resolve other matters of mutual concern.
(8) Ratification and approval of the Treaty by Congress and
the execution of the Treaty by the Secretary is necessary for
the Treaty to become effective under its terms.
(9) The establishment and proclamation of the San Juan
Southern Paiute Reservation as authorized in this Act only
includes lands within the existing boundaries of the Navajo
Indian Reservation.
(10) Once effective, the Treaty will--
(A) resolve and cause the dismissal of long-running
litigation concerning certain land rights of the Navajo
Nation and San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe currently
pending before the United States Court of Appeals for
the Ninth Circuit (Masayesva v. Zah et al., No. 93-
15216 (9th Cir.); and
(B) promote cooperation and harmony between the
Dine and Paiute people, serving as an example of
friendship and partnership between two sovereign Tribal
nations.
SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

(1) San juan paiute northern area.--The term ``San Juan
Paiute Northern Area'' means the area of land located within
the San Juan Southern Paiute Reservation as depicted on Map B

(4) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary
of the Interior.
(5) Treaty.--The term ``Treaty'' means the articles of
Treaty and Agreement entered into by the Navajo Nation and the
San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe to settle land claims and other

offered for sale by the covered entity or available for the given
event.

conspicuously disclose any guarantee or refund policy prior to the
completion of a transaction by the consumer and, in the event of a
refund, provide a refund in the amount of the total cost of the ticket
including any mandatory fees.
(e) Speculative Ticketing.--If a covered entity does not possess a
ticket at the time of the sale, it shall provide to the consumer--
(1) a clear and conspicuous notice that the covered entity
does not possess the ticket; and
(2) a full refund if the covered entity cannot provide the
ticket advertised to the consumer in a timely manner prior to
the event.

5, United States Code, regarding the disclosure and imposition of
mandatory or deceptive fees, including any such fee not described in
subsections (a) through (e).
(g) Excessive Fees.--In considering whether a mandatory fee is
excessive, the Federal Trade Commission or court shall take into
consideration--
(1) whether the fee is reasonable and proportional to the
cost of the good or service provided by the covered entity;
(2) the reason for which the covered entity charges such
fee; and
(3) any other factors determined appropriate by the Federal
Trade Commission or the court.
(h) Enforcement.--
(1) Enforcement by the commission.--
(A) Unfair or deceptive acts or practices.--A
violation this section or a regulation promulgated
thereunder shall be treated as a violation of a rule

(B) Powers of the commission.--
(i) In general.--The Federal Trade
Commission shall enforce this section in the
same manner, by the same means, and with the
same jurisdiction, powers, and duties as though

Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et
seq.) were incorporated into and made a part of
this section.
(ii) Privileges and immunities.--Any person
who violates this section or a regulation
promulgated thereunder shall be subject to the
penalties and entitled to the privileges and
immunities provided in the Federal Trade

(iii) Authority preserved.--Nothing in this
section shall be construed to limit the
authority of the Federal Trade Commission under
any other provision of law.
(2) Enforcement by states.--
(A) In general.--If the attorney general of a State
has reason to believe that a covered entity has
violated or is violating this section or a regulation
promulgated thereunder that affects the residents of
that State, the State, as parens patriae, may bring a
civil action in any appropriate district court of the
United States, to--

or such regulation;
(iii) obtain other remedies permitted under
State law; and
(iv) obtain damages, restitution, or other
compensation on behalf of residents of the
State.
(B) Notice.--The attorney general of a State shall

for a violation of this section or a regulation
promulgated thereunder filed by the Commission.

a civil action under subparagraph (A), nothing in this
section shall be construed to prevent the chief law
enforcement officer or official or agency of a State,

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. Green of Tennessee introduced the following bill; which was

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To direct the Commander of United States Army Special Operations
Command to seek to carry out a training program with special operations
forces of the Polish Army.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``General Thaddeus Kosciuszko Memorial
Exchange Program for Polish-American Defense Cooperation Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Thaddeus Kosciuszko served the United States and his
native Poland with honor and distinction during a vital time in
each country's fight for democracy and freedom from tyranny, so
it is fitting to establish in his name a fellowship to build
and strengthen cooperation between officials of the United
States and Poland.
(2) Thaddeus Kosciuszko's tactical acumen and engineering
excellence were vital to the American victory at the battle of
Saratoga, the establishment and defense of West Point, and the
blockade of Charleston, which helped bring about the end of the
Revolutionary War.
(3) A fierce defender of freedom and equality, Thaddeus
Kosciuszko tirelessly advocated for the end of slavery and
serfdom in America, Poland, and across the globe, including
leading the Polish revolution against the Russian and Prussian
armies in the 18th century.
(4) Poland is a vital ally to the United States in Europe,
and the enhancement of strategic and military cooperation is of
utmost importance to successful foreign policy implementation
and maintaining peace and stability for the United States and
its European partners.
(5) Polish and American special forces possess significant
expertise in the execution of all types of counterterrorism,
covert operations, and unconventional warfare, from decades of
training and cooperation.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to enhance the national security and defensive
capabilities of the United States and Poland and enable both
countries to effectively respond to emerging threats and future
challenges in Eastern Europe and around the globe;
(2) to provide a program for the exchange of special forces
soldiers that will increase capability and readiness levels for
both countries through increased cooperation and training; and
(3) to encourage, through increased cooperation, more NATO
allies to emphasize the ideals of peace and stability, ensured
through mutual cooperation and readiness of allied defense
forces.
SEC. 3. GENERAL THADDEUS KOSCIUSZKO EXCHANGE PROGRAM.
(a) Authority.--The Commander of United States Army Special
Operations Command shall seek to carry out a training program pursuant
to section 322 of title 10, United States Code, between special
operations forces under the jurisdiction of the Commander and special
forces of the Polish Army. Such program shall be known as the ``General
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Memorial Exchange Program for Polish-American
Defense Cooperation''.
(b) Eligibility.--Officers and enlisted members of such special
operations forces may participate in the program under this section.
(c) Progress Report.--Not later than 120 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Commander shall submit to the Committees on
Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives a report
regarding progress of the Commander in carrying out the program under
this section.

of an award, a whistleblower shall disclose the
identity of the whistleblower and provide such other
information as the Bureau may require, directly or

regulation.
``(f) Appeals.--

required to be disclosed to a defendant or respondent
in connection with a public proceeding instituted by

For purposes of section 552 of title 5, United States
Code, this paragraph shall be considered a statute
described in subsection (b)(3)(B) of such section 552.

``(C) Availability to government agencies.--
``(i) In general.--Without the loss of its

subparagraph (A) may, in the discretion of the
Bureau, when determined by the Bureau to be
necessary or appropriate, be made available
to--

in that clause as confidential, in accordance
with the requirements in subparagraph (A).

issue such rules and regulations as may be necessary or appropriate to
implement the provisions of this section consistent with the purposes
of this section.
``(j) Original Information.--Information submitted to the Bureau by
a whistleblower in accordance with rules or regulations implementing
this section shall not lose its status as original information solely
because the whistleblower submitted such information prior to the
effective date of such rules or regulations, provided such information
was submitted after the date of enactment of this section.
``(k) Provision of False Information.--A whistleblower who
knowingly and willfully makes any false, fictitious, or fraudulent
statement or representation, or who makes or uses any false writing or
document knowing the same to contain any false, fictitious, or
fraudulent statement or entry, shall not be entitled to an award under
this section and shall be subject to prosecution under section 1001 of
title 18, United States Code.
``(l) Unenforceability of Certain Agreements.--
``(1) No waiver of rights and remedies.--Except as provided
under paragraph (3), and notwithstanding any other provision of
law, the rights and remedies provided for in this section may
not be waived by any agreement, policy, form, or condition of
employment, including by any predispute arbitration agreement.
``(2) No predispute arbitration agreements.--Except as
provided under paragraph (3), and notwithstanding any other
provision of law, no predispute arbitration agreement shall be
valid or enforceable to the extent that the agreement requires
arbitration of a dispute arising under this section.
``(3) Exception.--Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2),
an arbitration provision in a collective bargaining agreement
shall be enforceable as to disputes arising under subsection
(a)(4), unless the Bureau determines, by rule, that such
provision is inconsistent with the purposes of this title.''.

the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 (12 U.S.C. 5497(d)(2)) is

authorized under section 1017A'' before the period at the end.

1st Session
H. R. 2473
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to distribute
additional information to Medicare beneficiaries to prevent health care
fraud, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 3, 2023
Mr. Ruiz introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on
Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the
Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall
within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to distribute
additional information to Medicare beneficiaries to prevent health care
fraud, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.
(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Protecting Seniors
from Health Care Fraud Act of 2023''.
(b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Seniors are more vulnerable to fraud than the general
population.
(2) Because seniors require more health care services than
the general population, they need more information on health
care schemes so they can protect themselves.
(3) The Department of Health and Human Services should
provide more up-to-date information in order to educate seniors
on health care scams.
SEC. 2. DISTRIBUTION OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO SENIORS TO PREVENT
HEALTH CARE FRAUD.
Section 1804 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395b-2) is
amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(e) Distribution of Additional Information on Health Care
Fraud.--
``(1) Annual reports on health care fraud schemes.--
``(A) In general.--In connection with the Health
Care Fraud and Abuse Control Program established under
section 1128C, the Secretary, acting through the Office
of the Inspector General of the Department of Health
and Human Services, and the Attorney General, shall
transmit to Congress, and make available to the public,
an annual report on health care fraud schemes that are
targeted to seniors and steps that are being taken to
combat such schemes and to educate seniors concerning
such schemes. The first such report shall be
transmitted and made available not later than 2 years
after the date of the enactment of this subsection.
``(B) Contents of reports.--
``(i) In general.--Subject to clause (ii),
each annual report under subparagraph (A) shall
include the following information:
``(I) Identification of most
prevalent fraud schemes.--The
identification of the 10 most prevalent
health care fraud schemes that are
targeted to seniors and the prevalence
and trends in such schemes.
``(II) Protection of seniors.--
Actions that seniors and law
enforcement and government agencies are
taking and can take to combat such
schemes and to protect seniors against
health care fraud schemes.
``(III) Additional suggestions.--
Policy suggestions to improve
protections for seniors, including
whether the additional information
provided under this subsection is
helping seniors in protecting them
against fraud.
``(ii) Limitations.--The Secretary may--
``(I) omit information from an
annual report on fraud schemes
targeting seniors if public disclosure
of the information would compromise an
ongoing investigation; and
``(II) report information on fraud
schemes by categories in an annual
report if a more detailed disclosure of
such a scheme would educate criminals
rather than seniors.
``(iii) Private-public partnership.--The
Secretary, acting through the Office of the
Inspector General of the Department of Health
and Human Services and the Attorney General,
may enter into an arrangement between public
and private partners to develop the report that
identifies the top 10 most prevalent health
care fraud schemes and the associated report
information.
``(C) Quarterly updating.--The information
described in clauses (i) and (ii) of subparagraph (B)
shall be updated quarterly to reflect changes in fraud
schemes and methods to combat and educate seniors
concerning such schemes.
``(D) Languages.--Such reports, as updated, shall
be available in English and Spanish.
``(2) Dissemination of reports and top 10 list.--
``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall--
``(i) disseminate the reports under
paragraph (1) to Medicare beneficiaries through
mechanisms that reach the most Medicare
beneficiaries; and
``(ii) provide for the mailing to each
Medicare beneficiary of a list of the top 10
most prevalent health care fraud schemes.
``(B) Quarterly updates of top 10 list included
with medicare summary notices.--The Secretary shall
include an updated list of the top 10 most prevalent
health care fraud schemes under paragraph (1)(C) with
the quarterly Medicare summary notices mailed to
Medicare beneficiaries.
``(C) Posting of reports and quarterly updates on
websites.--The annual reports, and quarterly updates,
under this subsection shall be posted on the website of
the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control Program and on
other websites maintained or supported by the Secretary
relating to the Medicare program, the State Health
Insurance Assistance Program, and Senior Medicare
Patrol of the Administration on Aging.
``(3) Sources of information for reports.--Information for
the reports and updates under paragraph (1) shall be gathered
from at least the following sources:
``(A) Department of health and human services.--The
following sources within the Department of Health and
Human Services:
``(i) Medicare hotlines, including 1-800-
MEDICARE, 1-800-HHSTIPS, and Medicare fraud
toll-free hotlines and websites (such as
www.stopmedicarefraud.gov) established by the
Office of the Inspector General of the
Department of Health and Human Services and the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
``(ii) State Health Insurance Assistance

and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 3, 2023
Mr. David Scott of Georgia (for himself, Mr. Takano, Mr. Ferguson, and
Mr. Fitzpatrick) introduced the following bill; which was referred to
the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To direct the Director of the National Science Foundation to award
grants for, and support research on, the development of makerspaces,
and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Making Advances Kinetic Education,
Research, and Skills Act'' or the ``MAKERS Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Maker communities can be found in both rural and urban
communities throughout the Nation.
(2) Making has been shown to engage and motivate children
and adults in STEM disciplines.
(3) Informal education and makerspaces promote skills that
employers desire, such as technical skills, problem-solving
skills, teamwork, and analytical skills.
(4) Studies have shown that underrepresented populations
often have better successes in informal and out-of-school STEM
than in formal STEM programs.
(5) Some studies have shown that makerspaces help to build
not only technical hard skills but also collaboration and other
soft skills that employers desire.
SEC. 3. PURPOSE.
The purpose of this Act is to encourage the formation and study of
makerspaces to--
(1) engage populations within community colleges and
community environments in STEM programs;
(2) develop desirable STEM technical and other skills,
including collaboration; and
(3) build a STEM-capable workforce.
SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS.
In this Act, the following definitions apply:
(1) Historically black college or university.--The term
``historically Black college or university'' has the meaning
given the term ``part B institution'' under section 322 of the
Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1061).
(2) Makerspace.--The term ``makerspace'' means a community
space that--
(A) provides access to tools, technology, and
knowledge for learners and entrepreneurs;
(B) results in the prototyping or creation of
physical goods, interdisciplinary learning, and
educational innovation; and
(C) supports the development of educational
opportunities for personal growth, workforce training,
and early stage business ventures.
(3) Minority-serving institution.--The term ``minority-
serving institution'' means an institution listed in section
371(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C.
1067q(a)).
(4) Rural community.--The term ``rural community'' has the
meaning given the term ``rural area'' in section 520 of the
Housing Act of 1949 (42 U.S.C. 1490).
(5) STEM.--The term ``STEM'' means the subjects of science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics.
(6) Workforce development component.--The term ``workforce
development component'' means--
(A) an economic development board or corporation,
including a State board or local workforce board;
(B) an internship program;
(C) a certificate program;
(D) employers or an employer or industry
partnership representing multiple employers;
(E) a community-based organization; or
(F) any other program considered acceptable by the
Director of the National Science Foundation.
SEC. 5. GRANT PROGRAM FOR RESEARCH AND CAPACITY BUILDING OF
MAKERSPACES.
(a) Establishment.--The Director of the National Science Foundation
shall award grants on a competitive basis to institutions of higher
education, or consortia of such institutions, to support the research
and development of makerspaces to assist in the formation of a STEM-
capable workforce.
(b) Use of Funds.--A grant awarded under this section may be used
for--
(1) research on the effectiveness of makerspaces in
engaging students and the community in STEM skills and in
teaching and learning, and the development, compilation, and
dissemination of best practices on the use of makerspaces for
STEM learning and workforce preparedness;
(2) equipment to achieve the purpose under paragraph (1);
and
(3) any other activities the Director considers
appropriate.
(c) Priority.--In selecting grant recipients under this section,
the Director shall give priority to applicants that--
(1) apply in partnership with one or more entities that
are--
(A) a workforce development component;
(B) a high-need local education agency as described
in section 9(b)(3) of the National Science Foundation
Authorization Act of 2002 (42 U.S.C. 1862n(b)(3)); or
(C) an independent nonprofit or academic
makerspace;
(2) consist of one or more entities that are--
(A) a community college; or
(B) a historically Black college or university or
other minority-serving institution of higher education;
or
(3) apply in partnership with or consist of an entity that
is--
(A) described in paragraph (1) or (2); and
(B) operates within a rural community.
(d) Limitation.--Funds provided through a grant under this section
may not be used for the construction of a physical building or facility
to hold a makerspace unless the Director determines that such
construction is necessary for reasons of safety or the use of relevant
equipment.
(e) Technical Assistance.--The Director may provide technical
assistance to entities receiving a grant or entities seeking such a
grant under this section.

``(4) Original information.--The term `original
information' means information that--
``(A) is derived from the independent knowledge or
analysis of a whistleblower;
``(B) is not known to the Bureau from any other
source, unless the whistleblower is the original source
of the information;
``(C) is not exclusively derived from an allegation
made in a judicial or administrative hearing, in a
governmental report, hearing, or from the news media,
unless the whistleblower is a source of the
information; and
``(D) is not exclusively derived from an allegation
made in an audit, examination, or investigation.
``(5) Successful enforcement.--The term `successful
enforcement', when used with respect to any administrative
proceeding or court action, includes any settlement of such
action.
``(6) Whistleblower.--The term `whistleblower' means any

``(b) Awards.--
``(1) In general.--In any administrative proceeding or
court action the Bureau, subject to rules prescribed by the
Bureau and subject to subsection (c), shall pay an award or
awards to 1 or more whistleblowers who voluntarily provided
original information that led to the successful enforcement of
the administrative proceeding or court action in an aggregate
amount equal to--
``(A) not less than the greater of--
``(i) 10 percent, in total, of monetary
sanctions imposed and collected in the
administrative proceeding or court action; or
``(ii) $50,000; and
``(B) not more than 30 percent, in total, of such

``(A) Discretion.--The determination of the
percentage amount of an award made under subsection (b)
shall be in the discretion of the Bureau.
``(B) Criteria.--In determining the percentage
amount of an award made under subsection (b), the
Bureau shall take into consideration--
``(i) the significance of the information
provided by the whistleblower to the successful
enforcement of the administrative proceeding or
court action;
``(ii) the degree of assistance provided by
the whistleblower and any legal representative
of the whistleblower in an administrative
proceeding or court action;
``(iii) the programmatic interest of the
Bureau in deterring violations of Federal
consumer financial law (including applicable
rules) by making awards to whistleblowers who
provide information that leads to the
successful enforcement of such laws; and
``(iv) such additional relevant factors as
the Bureau may establish by rule.
``(2) Denial of award.--No award under subsection (b) may
be made--
``(A) to any whistleblower who is, or was at the
time the whistleblower acquired the original
information submitted to the Bureau, a member, officer,
or employee of an entity described in subclauses (I)
through (V) of subsection (h)(1)(C)(i);
``(B) to any whistleblower who is convicted of a
criminal violation related to the administrative
proceeding or court action for which the whistleblower
otherwise could receive an award under this section;
``(C) to any whistleblower who is found to be
liable for the conduct in the administrative proceeding
or court action, or a related action, for which the
whistleblower otherwise could receive an award under
this section;
``(D) to any whistleblower who planned and
initiated the conduct at issue in the administrative
proceeding or court action for which the whistleblower
otherwise could receive an award under this section;
``(E) to any whistleblower who submits information
to the Bureau that is based on the facts underlying the
administrative proceeding or court action previously
submitted by another whistleblower;
``(F) to any whistleblower who knowingly and
willfully makes any false, fictitious, or fraudulent
statement or representation, or who makes or uses any
false writing or document knowing the same to contain
any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or
entry; and
``(G) to any whistleblower who fails to submit
information to the Bureau in such form as the Bureau
may, by rule, require.
``(d) Representation.--
``(1) Permitted representation.--Any whistleblower who
makes a claim for an award under subsection (b) may be
represented by counsel.
``(2) Required representation.--
``(A) In general.--Any whistleblower who
anonymously makes a claim for an award under subsection
(b) shall be represented by counsel if the
whistleblower submits the information upon which the
claim is based.
``(B) Disclosure of identity.--Prior to the payment
of an award, a whistleblower shall disclose the
identity of the whistleblower and provide such other
information as the Bureau may require, directly or
through counsel of the whistleblower.
``(e) No Contract Necessary.--No contract or other agreement with
the Bureau is necessary for any whistleblower to receive an award under
subsection (b), unless otherwise required by the Bureau by rule.
``(f) Appeals.--Any determination made under this section,
including whether, to whom, or in what amount to make awards, shall be
in the discretion of the Bureau. Any such determination, except the
determination of the amount of an award if the award was made in
accordance with subsection (b), may be appealed to the appropriate
court of appeals of the United States not more than 30 days after the
determination is issued by the Bureau. The court shall review the
determination made by the Bureau in accordance with section 706 of
title 5, United States Code.
``(g) Reports to Congress.--Not later than October 30 of each year,
the Bureau shall transmit to the Committee on Financial Services of the
House of Representatives and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and
Urban Affairs of the Senate a report on the Bureau's whistleblower
award program under this section, including a description of the number
of awards granted and the types of cases in which awards were granted
during the preceding fiscal year.
``(h) Protection of Whistleblowers.--
``(1) Confidentiality.--
``(A) In general.--Except as provided in
subparagraphs (B) and (C), the Bureau and any officer
or employee of the Bureau, may not disclose any
information, including information provided by a
whistleblower to the Bureau, which could reasonably be
expected to reveal the identity of a whistleblower,
except in accordance with the provisions of section
552a of title 5, United States Code, unless and until
required to be disclosed to a defendant or respondent
in connection with a public proceeding instituted by
the Bureau or any entity described in subparagraph (C).
For purposes of section 552 of title 5, United States
Code, this paragraph shall be considered a statute
described in subsection (b)(3)(B) of such section 552.
``(B) Effect.--Nothing in this paragraph is
intended to limit the ability of the Attorney General
to present such evidence to a grand jury or to share
such evidence with potential witnesses or defendants in
the course of an ongoing criminal investigation.
``(C) Availability to government agencies.--
``(i) In general.--Without the loss of its
status as confidential in the hands of the
Bureau, all information referred to in
subparagraph (A) may, in the discretion of the
Bureau, when determined by the Bureau to be
necessary or appropriate, be made available
to--
``(I) the Department of Justice;
``(II) an appropriate department or
agency of the Federal Government,
acting within the scope of its
jurisdiction;
``(III) a State attorney general in
connection with any criminal
investigation;
``(IV) an appropriate department or
agency of any State, acting within the
scope of its jurisdiction; and
``(V) a foreign regulatory
authority.
``(ii) Maintenance of information.--Each of
the entities, agencies, or persons described in
clause (i) shall maintain information described
in that clause as confidential, in accordance
with the requirements in subparagraph (A).
``(2) Rights retained.--Nothing in this section shall be
deemed to diminish the rights, privileges, or remedies of any
whistleblower under section 1057, any other Federal or State
law, or under any collective bargaining agreement.
``(i) Rulemaking Authority.--The Bureau shall have the authority to
issue such rules as may be necessary or appropriate to implement the
provisions of this section.
``(j) Original Information.--Information submitted to the Bureau by
a whistleblower in accordance with rules implementing this section
shall not lose its status as original information solely because the
whistleblower submitted such information prior to the effective date of
such rules, provided such information was submitted after the date of
enactment of this section.''.
(b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of contents under section 1(b)
of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is
amended by inserting after the item relating to section 1017 the
following:
``Sec. 1017A. Whistleblower incentives and protection.''.

Cammack, Mr. Perry, Mr. Good of Virginia, Mr. Massie, Mr. Norman, Mr.
Posey, Mr. Palmer, Mr. Banks, and Mr. Loudermilk) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the
income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service,
and enacting a national sales tax to be administered primarily by the
States.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.
(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``FairTax Act of
2023''.
(b) Table of Contents.--The table of contents for this Act is as
follows:
Sec. 1. Short title; table of contents.
Sec. 2. Congressional findings.
TITLE I--REPEAL OF THE INCOME TAX, PAYROLL TAXES, AND ESTATE AND GIFT
TAXES
Sec. 101. Income taxes repealed.
Sec. 102. Payroll taxes repealed.
Sec. 103. Estate and gift taxes repealed.
Sec. 104. Conforming amendments; effective date.
TITLE II--SALES TAX ENACTED

TITLE IV--SUNSET OF SALES TAX IF SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT NOT REPEALED
Sec. 401. Elimination of sales tax if Sixteenth Amendment not repealed.
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.
(a) Findings Relating to Federal Income Tax.--Congress finds the
Federal income tax--
(1) retards economic growth and has reduced the standard of
living of the American public;
(2) impedes the international competitiveness of United
States industry;
(3) reduces savings and investment in the United States by
taxing income multiple times;
(4) slows the capital formation necessary for real wages to
steadily increase;
(5) lowers productivity;
(6) imposes unacceptable and unnecessary administrative and
compliance costs on individual and business taxpayers;
(7) is unfair and inequitable;
(8) unnecessarily intrudes upon the privacy and civil
rights of United States citizens;
(9) hides the true cost of government by embedding taxes in
the costs of everything Americans buy;
(10) is not being complied with at satisfactory levels and
therefore raises the tax burden on law abiding citizens; and
(11) impedes upward social mobility.
(b) Findings Relating to Federal Payroll Taxes.--Congress finds
further that the Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes and self-
employment taxes--
(1) raise the cost of employment;
(2) destroy jobs and cause unemployment; and
(3) have a disproportionately adverse impact on lower
income Americans.
(c) Findings Relating to Federal Estate and Gift Taxes.--Congress
finds further that the Federal estate and gift taxes--
(1) force family businesses and farms to be sold by the
family to pay such taxes;
(2) discourage capital formation and entrepreneurship;
(3) foster the continued dominance of large enterprises
over small family-owned companies and farms; and
(4) impose unacceptably high tax planning costs on small
businesses and farms.
(d) Findings Relating to National Sales Tax.--Congress finds
further that a broad-based national sales tax on goods and services
purchased for final consumption--
(1) is similar in many respects to the sales and use taxes
in place in 45 of the 50 States;
(2) will promote savings and investment;
(3) will promote fairness;
(4) will promote economic growth;
(5) will raise the standard of living;
(6) will increase investment;

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 2501
To repeal Public Law 107-40.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 6, 2023
Ms. Lee of California introduced the following bill; which was referred
to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To repeal Public Law 107-40.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Sunset for the 2001 Authorization
for Use of Military Force Act''.
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDING.
Congress finds that the Authorization for Use of Military Force
(Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note), signed into law on September
18, 2001, has been used to justify a broad and open-ended authorization
for the use of military force and such an interpretation is
inconsistent with the authority of Congress to declare war and make all
laws for executing powers vested by the Constitution in the Government
of the United States.
SEC. 3. REPEAL OF PUBLIC LAW 107-40.
Effective 240 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the
Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C.
1541 note) is hereby repealed.

Mr. Mast introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To modify the project for Central and Southern Florida to include
public health considerations, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Prioritizing Revised Operations To
Eliminate Cyanobacteria Toxins in Florida Act'' or the ``PROTECT
Florida Act''.
SEC. 2. MANAGEMENT OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA SYSTEM.
(a) In General.--The Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil
Works shall direct the Army Corps of Engineers to modify water
infrastructure management in Central and Southern Florida to ensure
public health shall overlay all authorized project purposes. Such
authorized project purposes shall include--
(1) flood control;
(2) navigation;
(3) water supply for agricultural irrigation,
municipalities, industry, and Everglades National Park;
(4) regional groundwater control, and salinity control;
(5) enhancement of fish and wildlife; and
(6) recreation.
(b) Public Health.--For the purposes of this Act, the term ``public
health'' is defined as follows:
(1) Managing Lake Okeechobee and the Central and Southern
Florida system--
(A) to minimize the potential of toxic
cyanobacteria and other harmful algal blooms; and
(B) prevent discharges containing cyanobacteria or
related toxins into the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee
watersheds, downstream users, and other areas where
such cyanobacteria or related toxins will cause or
exacerbate public health risks.
(2) Ensuring the integrity and stability of the Herbert
Hoover Dike.
(3) Maintaining all provisions of applicable State,
Federal, and Tribal water quality laws, policies, and
regulations.
(4) Ensuring necessary water volume and quality reaches the
greater Everglades, Tribal lands, Everglades National Park,
Florida Bay and Caloosahatchee Watershed to restore the natural
habitat.
(c) Modification of Operations.--The Secretary of the Army shall
modify operations of all current project elements to ensure that public
health of all citizens, including downstream users, shall overlay the
operating regimes of these various elements.
(d) Master Operational Manual.--The Secretary of the Army shall
update or develop a Master Operational Manual, in cooperation with the
State of Florida, to ensure that all of the various existing
operational project elements of the Central and Southern Florida
project shall be managed as a system to protect public health and
Everglades Restoration. As new elements are completed and added to the
project, the Master Operational Manual shall be updated to include the
new features.
(e) Study.--The Secretary of the Army, in conjunction with the
National Academies of Sciences, shall undertake a study of the legacy
of pollution and nutrient loading as well as the impacts of soil
amendments from current and past operational regimes. The study shall
include--
(1) the components of the nutrient load and soil
amendments, and how this nutrient loading is and will continue
to impact Everglades restoration efforts; and
(2) proposed solutions to ameliorate the impacts of this
pollution to downstream watersheds.
(f) Scope.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to alter or
amend--
(1) the Water Rights Compact between the State of Florida
and the Seminole Tribe of Florida;
(2) the water quality standards of the Miccosukee Tribe of
Indians of Florida;
(3) State water quality standards, applicable National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System discharge permits, and
Everglades Forever Act watershed permits; or
(4) the schedule for completion of the Central Everglades
Planning Project or Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan
projects authorized on or before enactment of this Act.
(g) Prohibition on Use of Restoration Funds.--No restoration funds
shall be used by the Secretary to undertake Deep Well Injection (DWI)
of flood or any other excess waters.
(h) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be
appropriated such sums as are necessary to carry out the provisions of
this Act.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Campus Free Speech Restoration

Section 112(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C.

(1) by redesignating paragraph (2) as paragraph (3); and
(2) by inserting after paragraph (1) the following:
``(2) It is the sense of Congress that--
``(A) every individual should be free to profess, and to
maintain, the opinion of such individual in matters of religion

should in no way diminish, enlarge, or affect the civil
liberties or rights of such individual on the campus of an
institution of higher education;
``(B) no public institution of higher education directly or
indirectly receiving financial assistance under this Act should
limit religious expression, free expression, or any other

of the United States;
``(C) free speech zones and restrictive speech codes are
inherently at odds with the freedom of speech guaranteed by the

may put them at odds with the freedom of speech guaranteed by
the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States;
and

indirectly receiving financial assistance under this Act should
restrict the speech of such institution's students through
improperly restrictive zones, codes, or bias reporting
systems.''.

submitted for review after the loss of
eligibility is either consistent or
inconsistent with the expressive rights of
students under the First Amendment to the

time, place, and manner set forth in this
section, the institution's eligibility to

student organization, or any other
person or organization may file, with
the employee in the Office of
Postsecondary Education of the
Department designated by the Secretary
under paragraph (2) to receive
complaints, a complaint that an
institution has substantially

review in a substantially similar form
without informing the Secretary.
``(II) Loss of eligibility.--If the
Secretary determines upon
investigation, or after receiving a
complaint under subclause (I), that an
institution has substantially
misrepresented its speech policies, or

coerce, or discriminate against any individual because the
individual has made a report or complaint, testified, assisted,
or participated or refused to participate in any manner in an
investigation, proceeding, or hearing under this section.
``(2) Specific circumstances.--
``(A) Exercise of first amendment rights.--The
exercise of rights protected under the First Amendment

constitute retaliation prohibited under paragraph (1).
``(B) Code of conduct violation for materially
false statement.--Charging an individual with a code of
conduct violation for making a materially false
statement in bad faith in the course of a grievance
proceeding under this section does not constitute
retaliation prohibited under paragraph (1). A
determination regarding responsibility, alone, is not
sufficient to conclude that any party made a materially
false statement in bad faith.

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to make the credit for the

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 6, 2023
Mr. Nunn of Iowa (for himself and Mr. Davis of North Carolina)
introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on
Ways and Means
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to make the credit for the
adoption of special needs children refundable.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. ADOPTION CREDIT FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN MADE REFUNDABLE.
(a) In General.--Section 23 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is
amended by redesignating subsection (i) as subsection (j) and by
inserting after subsection (h) the following new subsection:
``(i) Portion of Credit Related to Special Needs Children Made
Refundable.--
``(1) In general.--So much of the credit allowed under this
section for any taxable year (determined without regard to this
subsection and subsection (c)) as does not exceed the special
needs adoption expenses for such taxable year shall be treated
as a credit allowed under subpart C (and not allowed under this
section).
``(2) Special needs adoption expenses.--For purposes of
this subsection, the term `special needs adoption expenses'
means, with respect to any taxpayer for any taxable year, the
aggregate amount of qualified adoption expenses with respect to
adoptions of children with special needs which is taken into
account in determining the credit allowed under this section to
such taxpayer for such taxable year (determined without regard
to this subsection, subsection (b)(2), and subsection (c)).''.
(b) Coordination With Carryforward of Non-Refundable Portion.--
Section 23(c)(1) of such Code is amended by striking ``under subsection
(a)'' and inserting ``under this section (determined after application
of subsection (i))''.
(c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall
apply to taxable years beginning after the later of the date of the
enactment of this Act or December 31, 2023.

<DOC>
118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 2511
To prohibit the availability of foreign assistance to certain countries
that do not recognize the sovereignty of Taiwan, and for other
purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 6, 2023
Mr. Ogles (for himself, Mr. Tiffany, Mrs. Boebert, Mr. Brecheen, Mrs.
Miller of Illinois, and Mr. Moore of Alabama) introduced the following
bill; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To prohibit the availability of foreign assistance to certain countries
that do not recognize the sovereignty of Taiwan, and for other
purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Defund China's Allies Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) The global political influence campaign of the People's
Republic of China (PRC) has contributed to numerous countries
in Central America and the Caribbean switching political
allegiances from Taiwan to China over the past several years.
(2) Costa Rica was the first Central American country to
abandon a political relationship with Taiwan in 2007. Panama
chose to recognize the PRC in 2017. El Salvador chose to cut
ties with Taiwan in 2018, over the latter's unwillingness to
fund a financially unsustainable port. The Dominican Republic
abandoned Taiwan that same year. In December 2021, the
dictatorial Marxist government of Daniel Ortega chose to sever
ties with Taiwan, and in March 2023, President Castro of
Honduras, a fellow Marxist, chose to do the same thing.
(3) Given the proximity of these countries to the United
States, these switches in political allegiances necessarily
represent a more tangible threat to United States national
security interests and must be confronted.
(4) United States efforts to condemn these countries'
willing diplomatic shift toward a genocidal government is
undermined by an incomprehensible adherence to the so-called
``One China'' policy, on terms dictated by the Chinese
Communist Party.
(5) To pose a credible deterrence threat to the People's
Republic of China, the United States must first admit that the
continuation of anachronistic foreign policy--based on the idea
that the Chinese Communist Party is a responsible, good faith
actor--is no longer a reasonable or even rational course of
action. To that end, the United States must support full
diplomatic relations with Taiwan and Taiwan's full and
unmitigated membership into the international community.
(6) Good-faith assumptions about the Chinese Communist
Party that have lingered since the 1970s have proven false.
China has demonstrated its unwillingness to work
collaboratively with the international community, including
through its efforts to hijack the global market and the rules-
based international order. China's continued assault on the
natural rights of the individual--including through the ongoing
genocide of the Uyghurs and other populations--highlight
Beijing's cruelty and its indifference to the concept of basic
human decency.
(7) The Chinese Communist Party has repeatedly utilized
violence and the threat of violence to coerce Taiwan and
undermine Taiwan's democratically elected government, in clear
contradiction of existing United States law (the Taiwan
Relations Act), which reads: ``the United States decision to
establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of
China rests upon the expectation that the future of Taiwan will
be determined by peaceful means''.
(8) The CCP's ongoing efforts to delegitimize Taiwan, if
not checked, increases the risk of armed conflict by
threatening to completely isolate Taiwan from any political
support; as a result, the United States government must work to
deter these malign efforts and mitigate their effectiveness,
including by committing to the following:
(A) Establishing full diplomatic ties with Taiwan.
(B) Imposing restrictions on foreign assistance on
countries, particularly those in the Western
Hemisphere, who choose to offer full political support
to the People's Republic of China.
(C) Working with allies and partners who maintain
unofficial relations with Taiwan (including through
Representative offices) to pursue full diplomatic
relations with Taiwan.
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that not later than 30 days after the
enactment of this Act, the President should establish full diplomatic
relations with Taiwan.
SEC. 4. PROHIBITION ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
(a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, with
respect to each country listed in subsection (c), no Federal funds may
be made available in the form of foreign assistance (including
humanitarian assistance or security assistance) to such country during
the period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act and
ending on the date described in subsection (b) for such country.
(b) Termination.--The date described in this subsection, with
respect to a country, is the earlier of--
(1) the date that is 30 days after the date on which the
President certifies to the Congress that such country has
resumed or established full diplomatic relations with Taiwan;
or
(2) the date that is 10 years after the date of the
enactment of this Act.
(c) Countries Specified.--The countries listed in this subsection
are the following:
(1) Honduras.
(2) Nicaragua.
(3) Dominica.
(4) Antigua and Barbuda.
(5) Grenada.
(6) Cuba.
(7) Bahamas.
(8) Barbados.
(9) Jamaica.
(10) Trinidad and Tobago.
(11) Panama.
(12) Costa Rica.
(13) The Dominican Republic.
(14) El Salvador.
(15) Bolivia.
(16) Uruguay.
(17) Guyana.
(18) Suriname.
(19) Venezuela.
(20) Solomon Islands.
(21) Kiribati.

1st Session
H. R. 252
To create a point of order against spending that will increase
inflation unless inflation is not greater than 4.5 percent, and for
other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 10, 2023
Mr. Mike Garcia of California (for himself, Mr. Walberg, Mr. LaTurner,
Mrs. Kim of California, Mr. Moore of Alabama, Mr. Huizenga, and Mr.
Grothman) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Rules, and in addition to the Committee on the Budget, for
a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for
consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the
committee concerned
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To create a point of order against spending that will increase
inflation unless inflation is not greater than 4.5 percent, and for
other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Inflation Prevention Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST SPENDING THAT WILL INCREASE INFLATION
UNTIL INFLATION IS NOT GREATER THAN 4.5 PERCENT.
(a) Point of Order in the Senate.--
(1) In general.--In the Senate, it shall not be in order to
consider a provision in a bill, joint resolution, motion,
amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report
that provides new budget authority and that is estimated to
result in an increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
unless the annualized rate of increase in the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers most recently published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics is not more than 4.5 percent.
(2) Point of order sustained.--If a point of order is made
by a Senator against a provision described in paragraph (1),
and the point of order is sustained by the Chair, that
provision shall be stricken from the measure and may not be
offered as an amendment from the floor.
(3) Form of the point of order.--A point of order under
subsection (a)(1) may be raised by a Senator as provided in
section 313(e) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2
U.S.C. 644(e)).
(4) Conference reports.--When the Senate is considering a
conference report on, or an amendment between the Houses in
relation to, a bill or joint resolution, upon a point of order
being made by any Senator pursuant to subsection (a)(1), and
such point of order being sustained, such material contained in
such conference report or House amendment shall be stricken,
and the Senate shall proceed to consider the question of
whether the Senate shall recede from its amendment and concur
with a further amendment, or concur in the House amendment with
a further amendment, as the case may be, which further
amendment shall consist of only that portion of the conference
report or House amendment, as the case may be, not so stricken.
Any such motion in the Senate shall be debatable. In any case
in which such point of order is sustained against a conference
report (or Senate amendment derived from such conference report
by operation of this paragraph), no further amendment shall be
in order.
(5) Supermajority waiver and appeal.--In the Senate, this
subsection may be waived or suspended only by an affirmative
vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chose and sworn. An
affirmative vote of three-fifths of Members of the Senate, duly
chosen and sworn shall be required to sustain an appeal of the
ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under this
subsection.
(b) Point of Order in the House of Representatives.--In the House
of Representatives, it shall not be in order to consider a bill, joint
resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or
conference report that provides new budget authority and that is
estimated to result in an increase in the Consumer Price Index for All
Urban Consumers, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, unless
the annualized rate of increase in the Consumer Price Index for All
Urban Consumers most recently published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics is not more than 4.5 percent.
(c) Determination of Effect on Inflation.--
(1) Provision of estimates.--Upon request by a Member of
Congress, the Congressional Budget Office shall prepare an
estimate of the effect on the Consumer Price Index for All
Urban Consumers of the provisions in a bill, joint resolution,
motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference
report that provide new budget authority.
(2) In general.--The estimated amount of the increase in
the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, if any, for
purposes of this section shall be determined based on estimates
prepared by the Congressional Budget Office.
SEC. 3. CBO NOTIFICATION TO CONGRESS.
(a) In General.--The Congressional Budget Office shall notify
Congress if the annualized rate of increase in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers is greater than 4.5 percent.
(b) Submission.--The Congressional Budget Office may submit the
certification required under subsection (a) as part of another report
required to be submitted to Congress.
