1st Session
H. R. 2884
To facilitate direct primary care arrangements under Medicaid.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 26, 2023
Mr. Crenshaw (for himself, Ms. Schrier, Mr. Smucker, and Mr.
Blumenauer) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Energy and Commerce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To facilitate direct primary care arrangements under Medicaid.
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 ``Medicaid Primary Care Improvement
Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds as follows:
(1) Primary care services are able to reduce healthcare
costs, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations.
(2) Primary care creates increased patient satisfaction,
physician engagement, and better patient outcomes.
(3) The model of direct primary care can change patient
usage patterns, with more personalized preventative care versus
high-acuity episodic care.
SEC. 3. CLARIFYING THAT CERTAIN PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS ARE ALLOWABLE
UNDER THE MEDICAID PROGRAM.
(a) In General.--Nothing in title XIX of the Social Security Act
(42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.) shall be construed as prohibiting a State,
under its State plan (or waiver of such plan) under such title
(including through a medicaid managed care organization (as defined in
section 1903(m) of such Act)), from providing medical assistance
consisting of primary care services through a direct primary care
arrangement with a health care provider, including as part of a value-
based care arrangement established by the State (or such organization).
For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term ``direct primary care
arrangement'' means, with respect to any individual, an arrangement
under which such individual is provided medical assistance consisting
solely of primary care services provided by primary care practitioners
(as defined in section 1833(x)(2)(A) of the Social Security Act,
determined without regard to clause (ii) thereof), if the sole
compensation for such care is a fixed periodic fee.
(b) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment
of this Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall submit to
Congress a report containing an analysis of the extent to which States
are contracting with independent physicians, independent physician
practices, and primary care practices for purposes of furnishing
medical assistance under State plans (or waivers of such plans) under
title XIX of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.).
(c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be
construed to alter statutory limits on Medicaid enrollee cost-sharing
or be construed to limit Medicaid services solely to those provided
under a direct primary care arrangement.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend certain authorities relating to human rights violations and
abuses in Ukraine, 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 ``Ukraine Human Rights Policy Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT OF MANDATORY IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS
WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTIONS WITH PERSONS RESPONSIBLE FOR
HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES.
Section 11 of the Support for the Sovereignty, Integrity,
Democracy, and Economic Stability of Ukraine Act of 2014 (22 U.S.C.
8910) is amended--
(1) by redesignating subsections (d) and (e) as subsections
(e) and (f), respectively; and
(2) by inserting after subsection (c) the following:
``(d) Congressional Oversight.--
``(1) In general.--Not later than 60 days after receiving a
request from the chairman and ranking member of one of the
appropriate congressional committees with respect to whether a
person meets the criteria of a person described in subsection
(a), the President shall--
``(A) determine if the person meets such criteria;
and
``(B) submit a classified or unclassified report to
such chairman and ranking member with respect to such
determination that includes a statement of whether or
not the President imposed or intends to impose
sanctions under subsection (b) with respect to such
person.
``(2) Appropriate congressional committees defined.--In
this subsection, the term `appropriate congressional
committees' means--
``(A) the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House
of Representatives; and
``(B) the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate.''.
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
Section 252 of the Countering America's Adversaries Through

(3) by inserting after paragraph (1) the following:
``(2) the Government of the Russian Federation's invasion

integrity across the European continent;
``(3) paramilitary organizations are utilized by the
Government of the Russian Federation to execute foreign policy
goals, including through influence campaigns, economic
coercion, and violence, particularly sexual violence against
women;
``(4) ongoing violence from the Government of the Russian
Federation across Europe creates implications for allies and
partners of the United States outside of the European
continent, and a deterrence strategy therefore requires
coordination and cooperation with like-minded partners across
the globe;''; and
(4) by amending subparagraph (A) of paragraph (12) (as
redesignated) to read as follows:
``(A) to identify vulnerabilities to aggression,
information operations, in particular cyber warfare and

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 10, United States Code, to direct the Secretary of
Defense to make certain improvements relating to access to military
installations in the United States, 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 ``Base Access Privileges Improvement
Act''.
SEC. 2. IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO ACCESS TO MILITARY INSTALLATIONS IN
UNITED STATES.
(a) Improvements.--
(1) Additional categories for expedited access.--Chapter
159 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at
the end the following new section (and conforming the table of
sections at the beginning of such chapter accordingly):
``Sec. 2698. Access to military installations: standards for entry to
military installations in United States
``(a) Access to Military Installations in United States.--(1) The
Secretary of Defense shall maintain access standards applicable to all
military installations in the United States. Such standards shall
require screening standards appropriate to the type of installation
involved, the security level of the installation, the category of
individuals authorized to visit the installation, and the level of
access to be granted, including--
``(A) protocols and criteria to determine the fitness of
the individual to enter an installation;
``(B) standards and methods for verifying the identity of
the individual; and
``(C) other factors the Secretary determines appropriate.
``(2) In developing the standards under paragraph (1), the
Secretary shall, with respect to military installations in the United
States--
``(A) include procedures for recurring unescorted access to
facilitate future visits to the installation for individuals
who--
``(i) are non-Department of Defense personnel; and
``(ii) are determined to be eligible under such
standards; and
``(B) ensure that access for such individuals is based on
the use of credentials non-Department of Defense personnel
already possess, to the extent practical.
``(3) Upon publication in the Federal Register of final regulations
to carry out paragraph (1), the Secretary shall publish the standards
set forth therein on a publicly accessible Internet website of the
Department of Defense.
``(4) In carrying out this subsection, the Secretary shall seek to
procure and field existing identification screening technology
(including technology to enable the Secretary to validate other
Federally recognized access credentials) and develop additional
technology only to the extent necessary to assist commanders of
military installations in the United States in implementing the
standards under paragraph (1) at points of entry for such
installations.
``(b) Pre-Arrival Registration and Screening Protocol for Access to
Military Installations in United States.--The Secretary shall ensure
that the standards under subsection (a) include a protocol for the
voluntary pre-arrival registration and screening of individuals
anticipating a need for access to a military installation in the United
States, to establish the fitness and purpose of such individual with
respect to such access. Under such protocol--
``(1) such a screening shall occur not less than 24 hours,
and not more than 14 days, prior to the initial time of such
access; and
``(2) if an individual is determined fit to enter the
installation for a specified period of time pursuant to the
pre-arrival registration and screening, access may only be
granted upon arrival at the military installation during such
period of time and for the purpose so established, following a
verification of the identity of the individual;
``(c) Unescorted Access to Military Installations in United States
for Certain Individuals.--The Secretary shall maintain guidance
regarding the granting of unescorted access to military installations
in the United States for covered individuals and ensure such guidance
is circulated to the commanders of each such military installation.
Such guidance shall--
``(1) identify the categories of covered individuals that
may obtain such unescorted access;
``(2) include a list of credentials that can be used for
access to an installation that are, to the extent practical,
types of identification non-Department of Defense personnel
already possess;
``(3) be consistent across military installations in the
United States; and
``(4) be in accordance with any privileges or benefits
accorded under, procedures developed pursuant to, or
requirements of, each covered provision and subsection (a).
``(d) Physical Entrances to Certain Military Installations.--The
Secretary shall ensure that, to the extent practicable--
``(1) each military installation in the United States has a
designated main entrance that, at all times, is manned by at
least one member of the Armed Forces or civilian employee of
the Department;
``(2) the location of each such designated main entrance is
published on a publicly accessible Internet website of the
Department;
``(3) if a military installation in the United States has
any additional entrance designated for commercial deliveries to
the military installation, the location of such entrance (and
any applicable days or hours of operation for such entrance) is
published on the same Internet website specified in paragraph
(2); and
``(4) the information published on the Internet website
specified in paragraph (2) is reviewed and, as necessary,
updated on a basis that is not less frequent than annually.
``(e) Reviews and Submission to Congress.--On a basis that is not
less frequent than once every five years, the Secretary shall--
``(1) review the standards and guidance under this section,
and make such updates as may be determined appropriate by the
Secretary; and
``(2) submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the
House of Representatives and the Senate the most recently
reviewed and, as applicable, updated version of such standards

Mr. LaMalfa introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Natural Resources
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To update requirements for the operation of the Central Valley Project
and Klamath River Basin Reclamation Project by the Bureau of
Reclamation.
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 ``Protect Our Water Rights Act''.
SEC. 2. ALLOCATIONS FOR SACRAMENTO VALLEY CONTRACTORS.
(a) Allocations; Conditions.--
(1) Allocations.--
(A) In general.--The Secretary of the Interior,
acting through the Bureau of Reclamation (in this Act,
referred to as the ``Secretary'') is directed, in the
operation of the Central Valley Project, to allocate
water provided for irrigation purposes to existing
Central Valley Project agricultural water service
contractors within the Sacramento River Watershed in
compliance with the following:
(i) Not less than 100 percent of their
contract quantities in a ``Wet'' year.
(ii) Not less than 100 percent of their
contract quantities in an ``Above Normal''
year.
(iii) Not less than 75 percent of their
contract quantities in a ``Below Normal'' year.
(iv) Not less than 50 percent of their
contract quantities in a ``Dry'' year.
(v) Not less than 50 percent of their
contract quantities in a ``Critically Dry''
year.
(vi) In all years not identified in
subparagraphs (A) through (E), the allocation
percentage for existing Central Valley Project
agricultural water service contractors within
the Sacramento River Watershed shall not be
less than (but may be more than) twice the
allocation percentage to south-of-Delta Central
Valley Project agricultural water service
contractors, up to 100 percent.
(B) The year type terms.--The year type terms used
in subparagraph (A) have the meaning given those year
types in the Sacramento Valley Water Year Type (40-30-
30) Index.
(2) Conditions.--The Secretary's actions under paragraph
(1) shall be subject to--
(A) the priority of individuals or entities with
Sacramento River water rights, including those with
Sacramento River Settlement Contracts, that have
priority to the diversion and use of Sacramento River
water over water rights held by the United States for
operations of the Central Valley Project;
(B) the United States obligation to make a
substitute supply of water available to the San Joaquin
River Exchange Contractors; and
(C) the Secretary's obligation to make water
available to managed wetlands pursuant to section
3406(d) of the Central Valley Project Improvement Act,
(Public Law 102-575).
(b) Protection of Municipal and Industrial Supplies.--Nothing in
subsection (a) shall be deemed to--
(1) modify any provision of a water service contract that
addresses municipal and industrial water shortage policies of
the Secretary;
(2) affect or limit the authority of the Secretary to adopt
or modify municipal and industrial water shortage policies;
(3) affect or limit the authority of the Secretary to
implement municipal and industrial water shortage policies; or
(4) affect allocations to Central Valley Project municipal
and industrial contractors pursuant to such policies.
(c) Protection of Operations and Deliveries.--Nothing in subsection
(a) or the Secretary's implementation of subsection (a) shall
constrain, govern, or affect, directly or indirectly, the operations of
the Central Valley Project's American River Division or any deliveries
from that Division, its units or facilities.
(d) No Effect on Allocations.--Nothing in subsection (a) shall--
(1) affect the allocation of water to Friant Division
contractors; or
(2) result in the involuntary reduction in contract water
allocations to individuals or entities with contracts to
receive water from the Friant Division.
(e) Term Defined.--In this section, the term ``existing Central
Valley Project agricultural water service contractors within the
Sacramento River Watershed'' means water service contractors within the
Shasta, Trinity, and Sacramento River Divisions of the Central Valley
Project, that have a water service contract in effect, on the date of
the enactment of this section, that provides water for irrigation.
SEC. 3. ANNUAL ALLOCATION FIELD BRIEFINGS.
The Secretary shall hold not less than 1 in-person field hearing
each county where a Central Valley Project water service contractor is
located during the period that is after the initial water allocations
for the Central Valley Project and before the final water allocation
announcement for the Central Valley Project.
SEC. 4. ADJUSTMENT OF COST REQUIREMENTS.
The operation and maintenance costs required to be paid by Central
Valley Project water contractors and the Bureau of Reclamation shall be
reversed, such that--
(1) the allocation percentage obligation held by the Bureau
of Reclamation on the day before the date of the enactment of
this Act shall be held by Central Valley Project water
contractors; and
(2) the allocation percentage obligation held by the
Central Valley Project water contractors on the day before the
date of the enactment of this Act shall be held by the Bureau
of Reclamation.
SEC. 5. REPORT.
Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act,
the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report that includes an
account of amounts that irrigation districts and water user
associations contracted with the Bureau of Reclamation for agricultural
water deliveries owe to the Bureau of Reclamation related to debt
incurred for construction of facilities and other aspects of the
Klamath River Basin Reclamation Project.
SEC. 6. WATER OPERATIONS IN UPPER KLAMATH LAKE.
When operating the Klamath River Basin Reclamation Project, the
Secretary, in accordance with State-adjudicated water rights, shall--
(1) operate all water in Upper Klamath Lake above elevation
4136.0 feet solely for agricultural and refuge purposes; and
(2) to the extent practicable when operating all water in
Upper Klamath Lake in accordance with paragraph (1), maximize
storage in the Upper Klamath Lake.

(1) Department of Defense Directive 3000.09 defines
``autonomous weapons system'' as a weapons system that, once
activated, can select and engage targets without further
intervention by an operator.
(2) Article 3, clause 8 of the United Nations Convention on
Certain Conventional Weapons prohibits the indiscriminate use
of weapons, which is defined as ``any placement of such weapons
. . . which may be expected to cause incidental loss of
civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects,
or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation
to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated''.
(3) Section 5.10 of the Department of Defense Law of War
Manual states ``[c]ommanders, at all levels, have a great
responsibility to exercise the leadership necessary to reduce
the risk of harm to civilians and civilian objects''.
(4) In a report on autonomous weapons systems published on
December 1, 2021, Human Rights Watch and the International
Human Rights Clinic of Harvard Law School argue that ``[r]obots
lack the compassion, empathy, mercy, and judgment necessary to
treat humans humanely, and they cannot understand the inherent
worth of human life''.
(5) The 2022 Nuclear Posture Review states ``[i]n all
cases, the United States will maintain a human `in the loop'
for all actions critical to informing and executing decisions
by the President to initiate and terminate nuclear weapon
employment''.
(6) The National Security Commission on Artificial
Intelligence, established by Congress pursuant to section 1051
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019
(Public Law 115-232), recommends that the United States
``clearly and publicly affirm existing U.S. policy that only
human beings can authorize employment of nuclear weapons and
seek similar commitments from Russia and China''.
(7) On February 16, 2023, the Department of State issued a
Political Declaration on Responsible Military Use of Artificial
Intelligence and Autonomy, which includes the following
statement: ``States should maintain human control and
involvement for all actions critical to informing and executing
sovereign decisions concerning nuclear weapons''.
(8) Large-scale nuclear war would lead to the deaths of
millions of people, firestorms, radioactive fallout
contamination, agricultural failure, and catastrophic climate
results.
(9) To comply with international humanitarian law, human
control and human legal judgment are essential in the nuclear
command and control process.
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the use of lethal, autonomous nuclear weapons systems
that are not subject to meaningful human control cannot
properly adhere to international humanitarian law; and
(2) any decision to launch any nuclear weapon should not be
made by artificial intelligence.
SEC. 4. PROHIBITION ON USE OF FEDERAL FUNDS TO DEPLOY NUCLEAR WEAPONS
WITH AUTONOMOUS WEAPONS SYSTEMS NOT SUBJECT TO MEANINGFUL
HUMAN CONTROL.
(a) In General.--None of the funds authorized to be appropriated or
otherwise made available for any fiscal year may be obligated or
expended to use an autonomous weapons system that is not subject to
meaningful human control to--
(1) launch a nuclear weapon; or
(2) select or engage targets for the purposes of launching
a nuclear weapon.
(b) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) The term ``autonomous weapons system'' has the meaning
given such term in Department of Defense Directive 3000.09,
titled ``Autonomy in Weapons Systems'' as in effect on the date
of the enactment of this Act.
(2) The term ``meaningful human control'' means, with
respect to an autonomous weapons system, human control of--
(A) the selection and engagement of targets; and
(B) the time, location, and manner of use.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 2896
To amend title 10, United States Code, to establish a separation oath
for members of the Armed Forces who are separating from military
service.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 26, 2023
Mr. Mast introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Armed Services
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 10, United States Code, to establish a separation oath
for members of the Armed Forces who are separating from military
service.
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 ``Oath of Exit Act''.
SEC. 2. ESTABLISHMENT OF SEPARATION OATH FOR MEMBERS OF THE ARMED
FORCES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United States Armed Forces is the largest, all-
volunteer military force in the world, yet less than 1 percent
of the American population serves in the Armed Forces.
(2) Each branch of the Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force,
Marine Corps, Space Force, and Coast Guard) instills in its
members a sense of duty and obligation to the United States,
their branch of service, and their comrades-in-arms.
(3) The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that
approximately 20 veterans of the Armed Forces commit suicide
each day, and a veteran's risk of suicide is 21 percent higher
than an adult who has not served in the Armed Forces.
(4) The Department of Veterans Affairs is aggressively
undertaking measures to prevent these tragic outcomes, yet
suicide rates among veterans remain unacceptably high.
(5) Upon enlistment or appointment in the Armed Forces, a
new member is obligated to take an oath of office or oath of
enlistment.
(6) Most members of the Armed Forces view this oath not as
an imposition, but as a promise that they are bound to fulfill.
(b) Establishment of Separation Oath.--Section 502 of title 10,
United States Code, is amended--
(1) in subsection (b), by striking ``The oath'' and
inserting ``An oath established by this section'';
(2) by redesignating subsection (b), as amended, as
subsection (c); and
(3) by inserting after subsection (a) the following new
subsection (b):
``(b) Separation Oath.--Prior to retirement or other separation
from the armed forces, other than separation pursuant to the sentence
of a court-martial, a member of an armed force may take the following
oath:
```I, __________, recognizing that my oath to support and
defend the Constitution of the United States against all
enemies, foreign and domestic, has involved me and my fellow
members in experiences that few persons, other than our peers,
can understand, do solemnly swear (or affirm) to continue to be
the keeper of my brothers- and sisters-in-arms and protector of
the United States and the Constitution; to preserve the values
I have learned; to maintain my body and my mind; to give help
to, and seek help from, my fellow veterans; and to not bring
harm to myself or others. I take this oath freely and without
purpose of evasion, so help me God.'''.
(c) Clerical Amendments.--
(1) Section heading.--The heading of section 502 of title
10, United States Code, is amended to read as follows:
``Sec. 502. Enlistment oath and separation oath: who may administer''.
(2) Table of sections.--The table of sections at the
beginning of chapter 31 of title 10, United States Code, is
amended by striking the item relating to section 502 and
inserting the following new item:
``502. Enlistment oath and separation oath: who may administer.''.

A BILL
To authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to suspend the entry of
aliens, 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 ``Border Safety and Security Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. SUSPENSION OF ENTRY OF ALIENS.
(a) Authority To Suspend Entry of Aliens at Borders of the United
States.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the Secretary
of Homeland Security determines, in his discretion, that the suspension
of the entry of covered aliens at an international land or maritime
border of the United States is necessary in order to achieve
operational control over such border, the Secretary may prohibit, in
whole or in part, the entry of covered aliens at such border for such
period of time as the Secretary determines is necessary for such
purpose.
(b) Required Suspension of Entry of Aliens.--Notwithstanding any
other provision of law, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall
prohibit the entry of covered aliens for any period during which the
Secretary cannot--
(1) detain such covered aliens as required under section
235(b)(1)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1225(b)(1)(B)); or
(2) place such covered aliens in a program consistent with
section 235(b)(2)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8
U.S.C. 1225(b)(2)(C)).
(c) Enforcement by State Attorneys General.--The attorney general
of a State, or other authorized State officer, alleging a violation of
a subsection (b) that affects such State or its residents, may bring an
action against the Secretary of Homeland Security on behalf of the
residents of the State in an appropriate United States district court
to obtain appropriate injunctive relief.
(d) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Except as otherwise provided, the terms have the
meanings given such terms in section 101 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101).
(2) The term ``covered alien'' means an alien seeking entry
to the United States who is inadmissible under section
212(a)(7) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1182(a)(7)).
(3) The term ``operational control'' has the meaning given
such term in section 2 of the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (8

1st Session
H. R. 2900
To promote registered apprenticeships, including registered
apprenticeships within in-demand industry sectors, through the support
of workforce intermediaries, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 26, 2023
Mr. Norcross (for himself, Mr. Fitzpatrick, Ms. Craig, Ms. Budzinski,
Ms. Norton, Ms. Sanchez, Ms. Schakowsky, Ms. Titus, and Mr. Lynch)
introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on
Education and the Workforce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To promote registered apprenticeships, including registered
apprenticeships within in-demand industry sectors, through the support
of workforce intermediaries, 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 ``Apprenticeship Hubs Across America
Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Registered apprenticeship programs provide apprentices
employment with structured on-the-job training, little to no
student loan debt, competitive wages, industry-recognized
credentials, direct access to jobs and careers, and in some
cases, the potential to earn college credit toward an
associate's or bachelor's degree.
(2) According to the Department of Labor, the average
salary for an individual who completes an apprenticeship
program is $77,000 annually. Apprentices who complete their
program earn approximately $300,000 more during their career
than peers who did not complete an apprenticeship.
(3) There are still very few apprenticeship positions in
sectors with high projected job growth. According to data from
the Department of Labor, professional, scientific, and
technical services--all industries with high projected job
growth--had only 1,827 apprentices in fiscal year 2021. The
field of health care and social assistance had less than 14,000
apprentices, much lower than the future projected need in the
field.
(4) A major barrier to expanding registered apprenticeships
in high-growth job sectors is employers' lack of familiarity
with the process to establish, and the requirements of,
registered apprenticeship programs.
(5) Workforce intermediaries, which are organizations at
the national, regional, State, or local level that help ease
the process for employers in developing and delivering new
registered apprenticeship programs, can serve as a catalyzing
force for creating and expanding registered apprenticeships in
high-growth job sectors through technical assistance and
capacity building for employers, labor organizations,
educational institutions, and government entities.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 13, United States Code, to provide that individuals in
prison shall, for the purposes of a decennial census, be attributed to

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

This Act may be cited as the ``End Prison Gerrymandering Act''.
SEC. 2. RESIDENCE OF INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS.
(a) Residence.--Section 141 of title 13, United States Code, is
amended--
(1) by redesignating subsection (g) as subsection (h); and
(2) by inserting after subsection (f) the following:
``(g) Effective beginning with the 2030 decennial census of
population and every census thereafter, in taking any census of
population under subsection (a) the Secretary shall, with respect to an
individual incarcerated in a State, Federal, county, or municipal
correctional facility, or in a youth correctional facility or detention
center, as of the decennial census date, attribute such individual to
such individual's last usual place of residence before
incarceration.''.
(b) Use of Residence for Purposes of Congressional Redistricting.--
Section 22 of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide for the fifteenth
and subsequent decennial censuses and to provide for an apportionment
of Representatives in Congress'', approved June 18, 1929 (2 U.S.C. 2a),
is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(d) If the tabulation of the number of persons in a State under
subsection (a) includes an individual incarcerated in a State, Federal,
county, or municipal correctional facility, or in a youth correctional
facility or detention center, who is treated as a resident of the State
because the tabulation attributes the individual to the individual's
last usual place of residence before incarceration, as provided under
section 141(g) of title 13, United States Code, the State shall treat
the individual's last usual place of residence in the State before
incarceration as the individual's place of residence for purposes of
congressional redistricting.''.

shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party
aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other
remedies that may be provided for by law.
(7) Abrogation of state immunity.--Neither a State that
enforces or maintains, nor a government official who is
permitted to implement or enforce, any limitation or
requirement that violates subsection (a) shall be immune under

remanding the case to the State court from which it was removed
under this paragraph may be immediately reviewable by appeal or
otherwise.

law, is permitted to implement or enforce a limitation or
requirement that violates this section shall be considered a
government official for purposes of this Act.

H. R. 2913
To designate Lebanon under section 244 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act to permit nationals of Lebanon to be eligible for
temporary protected status under such section, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 26, 2023
Ms. Tlaib (for herself and Mrs. Dingell) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, 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 designate Lebanon under section 244 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act to permit nationals of Lebanon to be eligible for
temporary protected status under such section, 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 ``Lebanon TPS Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) On August 4, 2020, one of the most powerful explosions
ever to impact an urban population ripped through the Lebanese
capital of Beirut. The blast--linked to 2,750 metric tons of
ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse--killed at least 220
people, wounded approximately 7,000, left an estimated 300,000
people homeless, and caused approximately $15,000,000,000 in
property damage.
(2) The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a heavy toll on
Lebanon, which has recorded over 1,235,000 cases and 10,800
deaths since the pandemic began. Lebanon's public health
system, already weakened by the Beirut disaster and political
upheaval, has struggled to cope in the face of the pandemic.
(3) Lebanon lacked a fully formed government for much of
the COVID-19 pandemic and the political establishment remains
highly polarized and divided. The political crisis has become
so severe that on April 18, 2023 Lebanon's parliament voted to
extend the terms of municipal councils and other local
officials to avoid further paralysis. The current government is
acting in a caretaker capacity and the presidency has been
empty since President Aoun's term expired in October 2022.
(4) Lebanon has been experiencing one of the worst economic
crises in its history at the same time as the COVID-19
pandemic, Beirut Port explosion, and political crisis.
(5) According to the United Nations, over 3,500,000
Lebanese people are estimated to live in poverty and around
three-quarters are now income vulnerable. Before the value of
the Lebanese pound started spiraling in late 2019, the
country's monthly minimum wage was 675,000 pounds--about $450--
but today it is worth less than $7.
(6) Per the United Nations, 36 percent of the Lebanese
population (1,380,000 people) is experiencing extreme poverty.
(7) Since October 2019, the Lebanese pound has lost more
than 95 percent of its value, placing Lebanon amongst the top 5
economic crises globally according to the World Bank.
(8) Food prices have skyrocketed throughout the crisis,
increasing 400 percent in 2020 alone.
(9) In July 2021, the United Nations Children's Fund
(UNICEF) warned that Lebanon's water system is on the verge of
collapse, with more than 70 percent of the country facing
critical water shortages. In January 2019, 1,000 Lebanese
pounds bought 4 liters of water. By August 2021, it only bought
half a liter.
(10) In October 2022, Lebanon reported its first cholera
cases in 30 years, with 5,819 suspected and confirmed cases and
23 deaths reported by December 31, 2022.
(11) Dire fuel shortages plague Lebanon, leading the
American University of Beirut Medical Center, Beirut's top
hospital and one of the leading medical centers in the region,
to issue a warning in August 2021 that hundreds of patients
would die if they failed to secure enough fuel to keep their
generators running.
(12) The United Nations has reported that, as of December
2022, the mass exodus of public health workers from Lebanon has
continued with devastating effect, with approximately 40
percent of doctors, 15 percent of specialized neonatal
intensive care unit nurses, and 30 percent of midwives leaving
the country over the course of the crisis. This has resulted in
critical gaps in the quality, availability, and accessibility
of health care for the population.
(13) The combined crises have strained many of Lebanon's
public institutions to the breaking point, including the
Lebanese Army, whose budget and soldiers' salaries have been
devastated by the devaluation of the Lebanese pound.
(14) On October 14, 2021, gunmen fired on a crowd of
protestors gathered near the Beirut Justice Palace sparking
heavy armed clashes in nearby neighborhoods. The ensuing
fighting killed at least 7 individuals and wounded more than 30
others.
(15) Numerous residents of Beirut living in the vicinity of
the clashes have been quoted by domestic and international
media comparing the October 14th clashes and ongoing tensions
to the devastating 1975-1990 Lebanese civil war, reflecting
well-founded fears of the potential for a return to significant
sectarian violence.
(16) The United States has long stood with the Lebanese
people in times of need and standing with them now is both
morally right and in line with our national interests.
(17) In the aftermath of the Beirut Port explosion,
President Biden's pledge of an additional $98,000,000 in aid to
Lebanon on the first anniversary of the disaster was a good
first step in supporting the Lebanese people. Designating
Lebanon for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is the logical
next step given the circumstances.
(18) Lebanon needs significant continued international
support to prevent the worsening of its economic, social,
political, and public health crises and to rebuild from this
period of extraordinary difficulty for the Lebanese people.
(19) A report from FWD.us published in February 2023
estimated that 12,000 individuals in the United States would be
eligible for TPS if Lebanon was designated, of which 64 percent
are members of the workforce with an annual economic
contribution of approximately $420,000,000.
(20) A country is designated for TPS when it is determined
by the United States Government that it is unsafe for its
citizens to return to due to ``ongoing armed conflict'',
``environmental disaster'', or ``extraordinary and temporary
conditions in the foreign state that prevent aliens who are
nationals of the state from returning to the state in safety''.
(21) As of April 2023, the Department of State's Lebanon
Travel Advisory specifically directs individuals to
``Reconsider travel to Lebanon due to crime, terrorism, armed
conflict, civil unrest, kidnapping'', and goes on to
specifically advise that individuals do not travel to ``the
border with Syria due to terrorism and armed conflict'', ``the
border with Israel due to the potential for armed conflict'',
and ``refugee settlements due to the potential for armed
clashes''.
(22) The beginning of April 2023 witnessed the heaviest and
most significant cross border confrontation on the Israeli/
Lebanese border since the 2006 war, raising fears of a broader
armed confrontation.
(23) The combined crises facing Lebanon amount to
extraordinary and temporary conditions that prevent Lebanese
nationals from safely returning to Lebanon. Any returned
individual would have to contend without access to clean water,
adequate health care, and affordable basic necessities--all in
the face of the very real threat of significant political
violence and armed conflict. After years of uncertainty, these
individuals deserve stability and temporary relief in the
United States.
SEC. 3. DESIGNATION FOR PURPOSES OF GRANTING TEMPORARY PROTECTED
STATUS.
(a) Designation.--
(1) In general.--For purposes of section 244 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1254a), Lebanon shall
be treated as if it had been designated under subsection
(b)(1)(A) of that section, subject to the provisions of this
section.
(2) Period of designation.--The initial period of the
designation referred to in paragraph (1) shall be for the 18-
month period beginning on the date of the enactment of this
Act.
(b) Aliens Eligible.--As a result of the designation made under
subsection (a), an alien who is a national of Lebanon is deemed to
satisfy the requirements under paragraph (1) of section 244(c) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1254a(c)), subject to
paragraph (3) of such section, if the alien--
(1) has been continuously physically present in the United
States since the date of the enactment of this Act;
(2) is admissible as an immigrant, except as otherwise
provided in paragraph (2)(A) of such section, and is not
ineligible for temporary protected status under paragraph
(2)(B) of such section; and
(3) registers for temporary protected status in a manner
established by the Secretary of Homeland Security.
(c) Consent To Travel Abroad.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary of Homeland Security shall
give prior consent to travel abroad, in accordance with section
244(f)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1254a(f)(3)), to an alien who is granted temporary protected
status pursuant to the designation made under subsection (a) if
the alien establishes to the satisfaction of the Secretary of
Homeland Security that emergency and extenuating circumstances
beyond the control of the alien require the alien to depart for
a brief, temporary trip abroad.
(2) Treatment upon return.--An alien returning to the
United States in accordance with an authorization described in
paragraph (1) shall be treated as any other returning alien
provided temporary protected status under section 244 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1254a).
SEC. 4. DETERMINATION OF BUDGETARY EFFECTS.
The budgetary effects of this Act, for the purpose of complying
with the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, shall be determined by
reference to the latest statement titled ``Budgetary Effects of PAYGO
Legislation'' for this Act, submitted for printing in the Congressional
Record by the Chairman of the House Budget Committee, provided that
such statement has been submitted prior to the vote on passage.

To provide protection for survivors of domestic violence, sexual

referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To provide protection for survivors of domestic violence, sexual
violence, and sex trafficking under the Fair Housing Act.
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 ``Fair Housing for Survivors Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Cities, towns, and rural communities in the United
States continue to face enormous challenges regarding domestic
violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, dating violence,
stalking, and other forms of intimate partner and gender-based
violence.
(2) One in three women and one in ten men in the United
States have experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking by
an intimate partner in their lifetime.
(3) Intimate partner violence alone affects more than
12,000,000 people in the United States every year.
(4) Approximately 7,000,000 women are raped or physically
assaulted by a current or former intimate partner each year.
(5) Among women experiencing sex trafficking, many of their
traffickers are also their intimate partners.
(6) Each day, an average of three women are killed by a
current or former partner.
(7) Researchers estimate that domestic violence costs
employers up to $13,000,000,000 each year.
(8) A fundamental component of ending domestic and sexual
violence is securing safe and affordable housing for survivors.
(9) Research indicates that:
(A) As many as fifty-seven percent of homeless
women report that domestic violence was the immediate
cause of their homelessness.
(B) Ninety-two percent of homeless women report
having experienced severe physical or sexual violence
at some point in their lives, including sexual
exploitation and trafficking.
(C) Eighty-four percent of survivors in domestic
violence shelters reported that they needed help
finding affordable housing. The National Network to End
Domestic Violence's DV Counts Report finds that the
majority of survivors' unmet needs are related to
housing and shelter. In another nationwide study, more
than half of the victims who identified a need for
housing services did not receive them.
(D) Survivors who become homeless as a result of
sexual assault are vulnerable to further sexual
victimization and exploitation including sex
trafficking.
(E) Women of color in the lowest income category
experience six times the rate of nonfatal intimate
partner violence compared to white women in the highest
income category.
(F) Poor women of color, domestic violence
survivors, and women with children are among those at
the highest risk of eviction.
(G) Housing insecurity can exacerbate survivors'
vulnerability. Women and men who experienced food or
housing insecurity in a 12-month period had a
significantly higher prevalence of rape, physical
violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in that
same time period, as compared to those who did not
experience food or housing insecurity.
(H) Vulnerable women are also at risk of sex
trafficking and exploitation by landlords who pressure
them for sex in exchange for rent or a delay in rent
payments.
(I) Approximately thirty-eight percent of all
survivors of domestic violence become homeless at some
point in their life.
(10) Surveys show that a majority of survivors who
experience a sexual assault in their home do not relocate to a
safe environment because they do not have sufficient funds and
are not aware of better options.
(11) Domestic and sexual violence survivors often find
themselves trapped in homes where they are further victimized
by caregivers, parents, siblings, landlords, intimate partners,
neighbors, or others in or near their home. Economic insecurity
and the trauma that often follows sexual violence make it
difficult, if not impossible, for many survivors to access
safe, affordable housing options for themselves and their
families.
(12) Domestic and sexual violence survivors continue to
face discrimination in securing and maintaining housing based
on their status as survivors and as a result of crimes
committed against them.
(13) Research by the Attorney General of the State of New
York found that sixty-seven percent of domestic violence
survivors reported that discrimination by landlords is a
significant obstacle in obtaining housing.
(14) Research also shows that survivors of domestic
violence or sexual assault are commonly denied housing
opportunities if a previous residence of the survivor was a
domestic violence shelter, if the survivor has secured a
protective order, or if there is other evidence that the
survivor has experienced a previous domestic violence incident.
(15) Studies show that survivors of domestic violence or
sexual assault often face eviction based on a single domestic
violence incident.
(16) Survivors of sex trafficking face additional
challenges in obtaining and maintaining housing due to criminal
records incurred as a direct result of their exploitation.
(17) It is in the public interest to ensure that survivors
of domestic violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, dating
violence, stalking, and other forms of intimate partner and
gender-based violence are not discriminated against,
particularly with respect to housing, based on their status as
victims of the crimes committed against them.
SEC. 3. SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR SEXUAL ASSAULT AS PROTECTED
CLASS UNDER THE FAIR HOUSING ACT.
(a) In General.--The Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq.) is
amended--
(1) in section 802 (42 U.S.C. 3602), by adding at the end

1st Session
H. R. 2920
To amend the Child Abuse Protection and Treatment Act to incentivize
States to eliminate civil and criminal statutes of limitations and
revive time-barred civil claims for child abuse cases, and for other
purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 26, 2023
Ms. Wexton (for herself and Ms. Salazar) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Child Abuse Protection and Treatment Act to incentivize
States to eliminate civil and criminal statutes of limitations and
revive time-barred civil claims for child abuse cases, 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 ``Statutes of Limitation for Child
Sexual Abuse Reform Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Child sexual abuse is a pernicious crime perpetrated
through threats of violence, intimidation, manipulation, and
abuse of power.
(2) The prevalence of child sexual abuse is difficult to
determine because it is often not reported; however, data
suggests that child sexual abuse is a public health epidemic
that affects 1 in 5 girls, and 1 in 13 boys in the Nation.
(3) The prevalence of child sex trafficking is difficult to
estimate, but the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children (NCMEC) reports receiving more than 19,000 reports of
child sex trafficking in 2022.
(4) It is estimated that there are approximately 7 million
cases of child abuse and maltreatment reported every year in
the United States.
(5) Historically, nearly 90 percent of child victims never
go to the authorities and the vast majority of claims have
expired before the victims were capable of getting to court.
(6) Due to the subversive nature of this crime, the average
age of disclosure of child sexual abuse does not occur until a
victim is over 52 years old.
(7) Because many State statutes of limitations applicable
to laws involving child sexual abuse fail to give victims
adequate time to come forward and report their abuse, numerous
victims are unable to seek fair and just remediation against
their abusers.
(8) Due to the especially heinous nature of child sexual
abuse, it is imperative that perpetrators of this crime are
punished, prevented from reoffending, and victims have the
opportunity to see their abusers brought to justice.
(9) The negative effects over a survivor's lifetime
generate many costs that impact the Nation's health care,
education, criminal justice, and welfare systems, with the
economic burden of child sexual abuse estimated at nearly $2
trillion annually.
SEC. 3. ELIMINATION OF STATE STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS FOR CHILD ABUSE
CASES.
(a) Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act.--Section 107(e)(1) of
the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (42 U.S.C. 5106c(e)(1)) is
amended--
(1) in subparagraph (B), by striking ``and'' at the end;
(2) in subparagraph (C), by striking the period at the end
and inserting ``; and''; and
(3) by adding at the end the following:
``(D) elimination of State civil and criminal
statutes of limitations laws for child sexual abuse,
exploitation, and sex trafficking, and adoption of laws
reviving previously time-barred civil claims for child
sexual abuse, exploitation, and sex trafficking.''.
(b) Special Rule.--Section 111(b) of the Child Abuse Prevention and
Treatment Act (42 U.S.C. 5106g(b)) is amended by adding at the end the
following:
``(3) Child sexual abuse and exploitation.--For purposes of
section 107(e)(1)(D), the term `child sexual abuse and
exploitation' shall include an act or a failure to act on the
part of a parent, caretaker, or any other person.''.
SEC. 4. GRANTS FOR ELIMINATING CERTAIN STATUTES OF LIMITATION.
(a) Authorization.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services may
make grants to States that are eligible to receive an award under
section 107 of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (42 U.S.C.
5106c) achieve one or more of the following reforms:
(1) The elimination of all State civil statutes of
limitations for claims of, related to, or arising from, child
sexual abuse, exploitation, and sex trafficking, against
perpetrators, other individuals, and public and private
entities.
(2) The elimination of all State criminal statutes of
limitations for all felony and misdemeanor sex crimes against
children, including sexual abuse, exploitation, and
trafficking, and for inchoate offenses related to such sex
crimes, including attempt, conspiracy, solicitation, and aiding
and abetting.
(3) The revival of previously time-barred civil claims for
child sexual abuse, exploitation, and sex trafficking against
perpetrators, other individuals, and public and private
entities, which, at a minimum, permits previously time-barred
claims a 2-year period or until a victim reaches age 55,
whichever is longer.
(b) Allocation.--Of the funds made available to carry out this
section--
(1) 25 percent shall be for States that achieve one of the
reforms described in paragraphs (1) through (3) of subsection
(a);
(2) 35 percent shall be for States that achieve two of such
reforms; and
(3) 40 percent shall be for States that achieve three of
such reforms.
An award under this section shall be in addition to any funds for which
the State is otherwise eligible to receive under section 107 of the
Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (42 U.S.C. 5106c).
(c) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized to be
appropriated to carry out this section $20,000,000 for each of fiscal
years 2024 through 2031.
SEC. 5. TECHNICAL CORRECTION.
Section 1404A of the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 (34 U.S.C.
20103), by striking ``section 109'' and insert ``section 107''.

2023''.
SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON DENIAL OF COVERAGE OR INCREASE IN PREMIUMS OF
LIFE OR DISABILITY INSURANCE FOR LIVING ORGAN DONORS.
(a) Prohibition.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an
insurer shall not deny coverage, cancel coverage, refuse to issue,
determine the price or premium for, or otherwise vary any term or
condition of a life insurance policy, disability insurance policy, or
long-term care insurance policy for a person based solely, and without
any actual, unique, and material actuarial risks, on the status of such
person as a living organ donor.
(b) Enforcement.--A State insurance regulator may take such actions
to enforce subsection (a) as are specifically authorized under the laws
of such State.
(c) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Disability insurance policy.--The term ``disability
insurance policy'' means a contract under which an entity
promises to pay a person a sum of money in the event that an
illness or injury resulting in a disability prevents such
person from working.
(2) Life insurance policy.--The term ``life insurance
policy'' means a contract under which an entity promises to pay
a designated beneficiary a sum of money upon the death of the
insured.
(3) Living organ donor.--The term ``living organ donor''
means an individual who has donated all or part of an organ and
is not deceased.
(4) Long-term care insurance policy.--The term ``long-term
care insurance policy'' means a contract for which the only
insurance protection provided under the contract is coverage of
qualified long-term care services (as defined in section

SEC. 3. CLARIFICATION OF ORGAN DONATION SURGERY AS QUALIFYING AS A
SERIOUS HEALTH CONDITION UNDER FMLA.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 2929
To require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint commemorative coins in
recognition of the 100th anniversary of the Fleet Reserve Association.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 27, 2023
Mr. Bilirakis (for himself and Mr. Garamendi) introduced the following
bill; which was referred to the Committee on Financial Services
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint commemorative coins in
recognition of the 100th anniversary of the Fleet Reserve Association.
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 ``Fleet Reserve Association 100th
Anniversary Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) On November 11, 1924, the Fleet Reserve Association
(FRA) was founded by Navy Chief Yeoman George L. Carlin and
chartered in 1924 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. FRA was born
out of the need for an organization to protect the pay and
benefits of enlisted Sea Service members and their families.
(2) The Fleet Reserve Association (FRA) is a
congressionally chartered, non-profit organization that
represents the interests of the Sea Service community. Although
the association was originally named for the Navy's Fleet
Reserve program, membership in FRA is open to all current and
former sailors, marines, and Coast Guard personnel.
(3) In 1930, FRA-proposed legislation was enacted that
authorizes a death gratuity benefit of six months basic pay to
the estates of recalled Fleet Reservists who subsequently die
on active duty.
(4) In 1932, FRA was successful in exempting enlisted
personnel from Great Depression-era pay cuts that deferred pay
for Federal employees by 8 to 20 percent.
(5) In 1934, FRA regained two-thirds of the 15 percent pay
cut authorized in the Economy Act of 1933. The remaining 5
percent was restored in 1935.
(6) In 1935, FRA was successful in obtaining eligibility
for Navy retirees and Fleet Reservists to receive emergency
care in veterans' hospitals in areas where military facilities
were not available.
(7) In 1937, FRA helped advance legislation that authorized
commissary privileges for military widows.
(8) In 1946, FRA was successful in establishing equity in
disability compensation for disabled peacetime veterans with
their wartime counterparts.
(9) In 1950, FRA first proposed legislation to provide a
survivor benefit program as part of the military retirement
system.
(10) In 1972, FRA played a major role in the enactment of
the Widow's Equity bill, the precursor of today's Survivor
Benefit Plan (SBP) and FRA sponsored the Navy's first Sailors
of the Year competition, a tradition that continues today.
(11) In 1985, FRA became a founding member of The Military
Coalition when laws threatened to significantly cut military
retired pay. The FRA is one of 12 military and veterans
organizations that banded together to reverse the potential
loss of 22.5 percent in cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) over
a seven-year period.
(12) In 1986, FRA played a key role in restoring full cost-
of-living adjustments (COLA) for military retirees.
(13) In 1996, FRA became federally chartered as part of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public
Law 104-201).
(14) In 2002, the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-314) authorized
combat-related special compensation (CRSC) for disabled
uniformed services retirees wounded in combat, which FRA
acknowledged as a significant first step toward full concurrent
receipt of military retired pay and Department of Veterans
Affairs disability compensation.
(15) In 2009, the FRA Education Foundation was launched in
conjunction with FRA's 85th anniversary.
(16) In 2013, FRA successfully defeated efforts to reduce
future cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) for military retirees
by blocking implementation of the chained consumer price index
(CPI) in lieu of the current consumer price index (CPI).
(17) November 11, 2024, will mark the 100th anniversary of
the Fleet Reserve Association.
SEC. 3. COIN SPECIFICATIONS.

determination under paragraph (4) without a hearing.
``(4) Basis for decision.--
``(A) In general.--In determining whether to enter
a sealing order with respect to protected information
relating to a covered nonviolent offense, the court--

``(I) the petition and any
documents in the possession of the
court; and

such a hearing is conducted;
``(ii) may not consider any non-Federal
crimes for which the petitioner has not been
convicted; and

information, including any potential
impact of sealing the protected
information on Federal licensure,
permit, or employment restrictions;
against
``(II)(aa) the conduct and
demonstrated desire of the petitioner

date that is 2 years after the date of the denial.

section 3560 shall apply to any record that is sealed under
this section.

shall appoint counsel in accordance with the plan of the

petitioner for purposes of this section.

section 3560) to submit a sealing petition with respect to records
required to be automatically sealed under section 3560.
``(e) Reporting.--Not later than 2 years after the date of
enactment of this section, and each year thereafter, each district

of a United States attorney supported or opposed a
sealing petition;
``(2) includes any supporting data that the court
determines relevant and that does not name any petitioner; and
``(3) disaggregates all relevant data by race, ethnicity,

To amend title 49, United States Code, to prohibit staged collisions
with commercial motor vehicles, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 27, 2023
Mr. Cuellar (for himself, Mr. Bost, and Mr. Graves of Louisiana)
introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 49, United States Code, to prohibit staged collisions
with commercial motor vehicles, 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 ``Highway Accident Fairness Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. PURPOSES.
The purposes of the Act are to--
(1) assure fair and prompt recoveries for highway accident
victims;
(2) benefit society by preserving predictability and
stability in the movement of freight in interstate commerce and
lowering costs to the supply chain and, ultimately, all
Americans;
(3) protect the motoring public from the safety hazard of
staged collisions between passenger cars and commercial motor
vehicles;
(4) prevent fraudulent claims that result from staged
collisions;
(5) protect law enforcement agencies and highway
departments from expending resources dealing with the aftermath
of staged collisions; and
(6) minimize the impact of staged collisions on the supply
chain and the movement of goods in interstate commerce.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON STAGED COLLISIONS WITH COMMERCIAL MOTOR
VEHICLES.
(a) In General.--Chapter 805 of title 49, United States Code, is
amended by adding at the end the following new section:
``Sec. 80505. Staging of motor vehicle collisions with commercial motor
vehicles
``(a) Penalty for Staging Collision.--A person operating a motor
vehicle who intentionally causes a collision with a commercial motor
vehicle, as defined in section 31101, or arranges for another person to
cause such a collision, shall be fined under title 18, imprisoned for
not more than 20 years, or both.
``(b) Penalty for Staging Collision Causing Serious Bodily
Injury.--A person operating a motor vehicle who intentionally causes a
collision with a commercial motor vehicle, as defined in section 31132,
that results in serious bodily injury or death to another person, or
arranges for another person to cause such a collision, shall be fined
under title 18, imprisoned for not less than 20 years, or both.
``(c) Limitation on Prosecution.--A person may not be prosecuted
for an act under this section if the person has been convicted or
acquitted on the merits for the same act under the laws of a State, the
District of Columba, or a territory or possession of the United
States.''.
(b) Clerical Amendment.--Chapter 805 of title 49, United States
Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
``80505. Staging of motor vehicle collisions with commercial motor
vehicles.''.
SEC. 4. FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT JURISDICTION FOR HIGHWAY ACCIDENT
ACTIONS AGAINST INTERSTATE MOTOR CARRIERS.
(a) Application of Federal Jurisdiction.--Section 1332 of title 28,
United States Code, is amended--
(1) by redesignating subsection (e) as subsection (f); and
(2) by inserting after subsection (d) the following:
``(e)(1) The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of
any civil action alleging bodily harm or loss of life involving one or
more commercial motor vehicles, as defined in section 31101 of title
49, operating on a public road in interstate commerce, in which the
matter in controversy exceeds the sum or value of $5,000,000, exclusive
of interest and costs, and is a case in which--
``(A) any plaintiff is a citizen of a State different from
any defendant;
``(B) any plaintiff is a foreign state or a citizen or
subject of a foreign state and any defendant is a citizen of a
State; or
``(C) any plaintiff is a citizen of a State and any
defendant is a foreign state or a citizen or subject of a
foreign state.
``(2) Citizenship of plaintiffs shall be determined for purposes of
paragraph (1) as of the date of filing of the complaint or amended
complaint, or, if the case stated by the initial pleading is not
subject to Federal jurisdiction, as of the date of service by
plaintiffs of an amended pleading, motion, or other paper, indicating
the existence of Federal jurisdiction.
``(3) For purposes of this subsection, an unincorporated
association shall be deemed to be a citizen of the State where it has
its principal place of business and the State under whose laws it is
organized.''.
SEC. 5. THIRD-PARTY LITIGATION FUNDING DISCLOSURE IN HIGHWAY ACCIDENT
CASES.
(a) In General.--Chapter 111 of title 28, United States Code, is
amended by adding at the end the following:

(1) Intensive confinement of pigs is a significant animal
welfare issue, causing physical problems and psychological
anguish for the animals.
(2) Dozens of major food retailers and more than 10 States
have taken action to phase out the use of intensive confinement
for pigs, reflecting the will and concerns of the public.
(3) At least two States have adopted policies to forbid the
sale of pork from factory farms that use gestation crates, with
that policy predicated on human health and animal welfare
concerns.
(4) As more consumers turn away from purchasing pork
products derived from intensive confinement practices, the pork
industry will be better aligned with its customers by ending
these unpopular and inhumane housing methods.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON CONFINING BREEDING PIGS.
(a) In General.--The Animal Welfare Act (7 U.S.C. 2131 et seq.) is
amended by adding at the end the following:
``SEC. 30. PROHIBITION ON CONFINING BREEDING PIGS.
``(a) Prohibition.--
``(1) In general.--It shall be unlawful for a person to
cause any breeding pig to be confined in--
``(A) such a manner that prevents the pig from
lying down, standing up, or turning around--
``(i) in a complete circle without any
impediment, including a tether; and
``(ii) without touching the side of an
enclosure or another animal; and
``(B) beginning on December 31, 2023, a space with
less than 24 square feet of usable floorspace per pig,
as calculated under paragraph (3).
``(2) Exceptions.--The Secretary shall not, in applying
paragraph (1), consider a breeding pig to be confined in a
cruel manner if such confinement occurs during--
``(A) transportation;
``(B) examination, testing, treatment, or an
operation conducted for veterinary purposes, but only
if performed by or under the direct supervision of a
licensed veterinarian;
``(C) the five-day period before the pig's expected
date of farrowing; and
``(D) slaughter conducted in accordance with the
Humane Methods of Slaughter Act (7 U.S.C. 1901 et
seq.).
``(3) Calculation of usable floorspace.--For purposes of
paragraph (1)(B), the total square footage of floorspace
provided to each breeding pig in an enclosure shall be
determined by dividing--
``(A) the total square footage of floorspace
provided to all the animals in such enclosure; by
``(B) the number of animals in that enclosure.
``(b) Penalties.--For the purpose of administering and enforcing
this section, the authorities provided under sections 10414 and 10415
of the Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8313 and 8314) shall
apply to this section in a similar manner as those sections apply to
the Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.). Any person
that violates the prohibition under subsection (a) shall be subject to
penalties provided in such section 10414.
``(c) No Preemption.--Nothing in this section preempts any State or
local laws, regulations, orders, or other requirements with respect to
animal welfare that are identical to or are in addition to the
requirements of this section.
``(d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be
construed as limiting the authority of the Secretary under this Act or
another Federal law to protect animal welfare.
``(e) Severability.--If this section is held unconstitutional as to
some provisions or circumstances, it shall remain in force as to the
remaining provisions and other circumstances.
``(f) Financial Assistance.--
``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall establish a program
under which the Secretary will provide financial assistance to
pig producers to assist such producers in complying with the
requirements of this section.
``(2) Priority.--The Secretary shall allocate funds made
available under paragraph (3) among pig producers in a manner
that prioritizes independent pig producers.
``(3) Funding.--The Secretary shall amend the order in
effect as of the date of the enactment of this section under
section 1616(c) of the Pork Promotion, Research, and Consumer
Information Act of 1985 (7 U.S.C. 4805(c)), to direct the
National Pork Board, notwithstanding section 1620(c) of such
Act (7 U.S.C. 4809(c)), to set aside not less than $10,000,000
of the funds collected from assessments made under such Act for
the first fiscal year that begins after the date of the
enactment of this section and the following fiscal year to
provide assistance to pig producers, as described in paragraph
(1).
``(g) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) The term `breeding pig' means any female pig that
is--
``(A) kept for the purpose of commercial breeding
who is six months of age or older; or
``(B) pregnant.
``(2) The term `enclosure' means any cage, crate or other
enclosure in which a pig is kept, including, a gestation crate.
``(3) The term `pig' means any animal of the porcine
species.
``(4) The term `independent pig producer' means a pig
producer who owns their own pigs and is not contracted to raise
pigs that belong to another entity.''.
(b) Applicability.--The amendment made by this section shall apply
beginning on the date that is one year after the date of the enactment
of this Act.

1st Session
H. R. 2941
To require the Office of Management and Budget to revise the Standard
Occupational Classification system to establish a separate code for
direct support professionals, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 27, 2023
Mr. Fitzpatrick (for himself and Mr. Morelle) introduced the following
bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and the
Workforce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require the Office of Management and Budget to revise the Standard
Occupational Classification system to establish a separate code for
direct support professionals, 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 ``Recognizing the Role of Direct
Support Professionals Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Direct support professionals play a critical role in
the care provided to individuals with intellectual and
developmental disabilities.
(2) Providers of home- and community-based services are
experiencing difficulty hiring and retaining direct support
professionals, with a national turnover rate of 43 percent, as
identified in a 2021 study by the National Core Indicators, and
full-time vacancy rates increasing by 94 percent between 2019
and 2021.
(3) High turnover rates can lead to instability for
individuals receiving services, and this may result in
individuals not receiving enough personalized care to help them
reach their goals for independent living.
(4) A discrete occupational category for direct support
professionals will help States and the Federal Government--
(A) better interpret the shortage in the labor
market of direct support professionals; and
(B) collect data on the high turnover rate of
direct support professionals.
(5) The Standard Occupational Classification system is
designed and maintained solely for statistical purposes, and is
used by Federal statistical agencies to classify workers and
jobs into occupational categories for the purpose of
collecting, calculating, analyzing, or disseminating data.
(6) Occupations in the Standard Occupational Classification
system are classified based on work performed and, in some
cases, on the skills, education, or training needed to perform
the work.
(7) Establishing a discrete occupational category for
direct support professionals will--
(A) correct an inaccurate representation in the
Standard Occupational Classification system;
(B) recognize these professionals for the critical
and often overlooked work that they perform for the
disabled community, which work is different than the
work of a home health aide or a personal care aide; and
(C) better align the Standard Occupational
Classification system with related classification
systems.
SEC. 3. DEFINITION OF DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL.
In this Act, the term ``direct support professional'' means an
individual who, in exchange for compensation, provides services to an
individual with an intellectual disability or a developmental
disability (as defined in section 102 of the Developmental Disabilities
Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 15002)) that
promote such individual's independence, including--
(1) services that enhance independence and community
inclusion for such individual, including traveling with such
individual, attending and assisting such individual while
visiting friends and family, shopping, or socializing;
(2) services such as coaching and supporting such
individual in communicating needs, achieving self-expression,
pursuing personal goals, living independently, and
participating actively in employment or voluntary roles in the
community;
(3) services such as providing assistance with activities
of daily living (such as feeding, bathing, toileting, and
ambulation) and with tasks such as meal preparation, shopping,
light housekeeping, and laundry; or
(4) services that support such individual at home, work,
school, or any other community setting.
SEC. 4. REVISION OF STANDARD OCCUPATIONAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM.
The Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall, not
later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, revise the
Standard Occupational Classification system to establish a separate
code (31-1123) for direct support professionals as a healthcare support
occupation. Such code shall be a subset of 31-1120, which includes home
health aides and personal care aides.

(1) in subsection (b)(5)--
(A) in subparagraph (D), by striking ``or'' at the

preceding the date of enactment of this subparagraph,
been used to plant a citrus crop;''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following:
``(j) Citrus Land.--
``(1) In general.--In enrolling acres of citrus land
described in subsection (b)(5)(F) in the conservation reserve,
the Secretary shall enroll the land using the continuous
enrollment procedure described in subsection (d)(6).
``(2) Priority.--In enrolling acres of citrus land
described in subsection (b)(5)(F) in the conservation reserve,
the Secretary may give priority to land that, as determined by

``(B) is affected by huanglongbing; or
``(C) is of ecological significance, including land
that--
``(i) may assist in the restoration of
threatened or endangered species under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.);
``(ii) may assist in preventing a species

``(iii) improves or creates wildlife
habitat corridors.
``(3) Incidental land.--In enrolling land in the

conversion or development and is of ecological significance as
described in paragraph (2)(C).
``(4) Fallow groves.--Not later than 180 days after the
later of the first day of the period of enrollment of citrus
land described in subsection (b)(5)(F) in the conservation
reserve and the date on which Secretary notifies an owner or
operator of the decision of the Secretary to enroll citrus land
described in subsection (b)(5)(F) in the conservation reserve,

out enrollment of citrus land described in subsection
(b)(5)(F), the Secretary shall enter into contracts of not less
than 1, and not more than 5, years.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 2945
To require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to establish
an excess urban heat mitigation grant program, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 27, 2023
Mr. Gallego (for himself and Mrs. Watson Coleman) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Financial
Services
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to establish
an excess urban heat mitigation grant program, 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 ``Excess Urban Heat Mitigation Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Heat stress is a leading weather-related cause of death
in the United States, with more than 600 people killed in the
United States by extreme heat every year, and many more
experiencing respiratory problems and heat-related illness.
(2) Urban areas are likely to experience higher
temperatures than surrounding areas due to design-related
attributes of the built environment, including manmade factors
such as low solar reflectance, low vegetation and tree cover,
high building density, high impervious surface cover, and waste
heat emissions.
(3) Underserved communities are disproportionately impacted
by extreme heat. In the United States, low-income census blocks
have 15.2 percent less tree cover and an average land surface
temperature that is 1.5 degrees Celsius hotter than high-income
blocks.
(4) Studies show that in 97 percent of the largest
urbanized areas in the United States, people of color live in
census tracts with higher surface urban heat intensity than
non-Hispanic Whites, indicating that heat exposure is unequally
distributed by race.
(5) Urban heat is not only a public health threat but also
an economic one, as rising heat leads to increased roadway
maintenance costs, higher residential and commercial summer
energy costs, and lost labor productivity, as well as the cost
to patients and health care infrastructure for heat-related
hospitalizations and emergency department visits.
(6) Excess urban heat causes increased energy consumption,
elevated emission of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, and
impaired water quality.
(7) Heat waves are expected to not only occur more
frequently in the United States but also be of longer duration,
lasting 10 to 20 days longer by the end of the century.
(8) Solutions exist that communities can implement now to
mitigate the challenge of urban heat. One example is the
planting of urban trees to offset or reverse the urban heat
island effect. Studies in multiple cities in the United States
have shown that urban trees can offset projected increases in
heat-related mortality in 2050 by 40 to 99 percent.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to advance meritorious
asylum claims, 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 ``Safe Zones Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. STREAMLINING ASYLUM SYSTEM.
(a) Officers of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Authorized To
Conduct Asylum Interviews.--Section 235(b)(1)(E) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(E)) by striking ``immigration
officer'' and inserting ``immigration officer, including trained and
qualified staff as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security,''.
(b) Standards To Optimize and Advance Meritorious Asylum Claims.--
Section 235(b)(1)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1225(b)(1)(B)) is amended--
(1) by amending clause (v) to read as follows:
``(v) Credible fear of persecution.--
``(I) In general.--For purposes of
this subparagraph, the term `credible
fear of persecution' means that there
is a significant possibility, taking
into account the credibility of the
statements made by the alien in support
of the alien's claim and such other
facts as are known to the officer, that
the alien could establish eligibility
for asylum under section 208 of this
title.
``(II) Bars to asylum.--An alien
shall not be determined to have a
credible fear of persecution if the
alien is prohibited from applying for
or receiving asylum, including an alien
subject to a limitation or condition
under subsection (a)(2) or (b)(2)
(including a regulation promulgated
under such subsection) of section
208.''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following:
``(vi) Eligibility for relief.--
``(I) Credible fear review by
immigration judge.--Not later than 90
days after an alien submits an
application for asylum at a safe zone,
if the alien is determined to have a
credible fear of persecution they shall
be referred to an immigration judge for
a determination of whether the alien is
eligible for asylum under section 208,
withholding of removal under section
241(b)(3), or protection under the
Convention Against Torture.
``(II) Aliens with credible fear of
persecution.--
``(aa) In general.--Except
as provided in item (bb), if an
alien referred under
subparagraph (A)(ii) is
determined to have a credible
fear of persecution, the alien
shall be eligible for asylum
under section 208, withholding
of removal under section
241(b)(3), or protection under
the Convention Against Torture.
``(bb) Exception.--An alien
shall not be eligible for
consideration of an application
for relief under item (aa) if
the failure of the alien to
establish a credible fear of
persecution precludes the alien
from eligibility for such
relief.
``(vii) Ineligibility for removal
proceedings.--An alien referred under
subparagraph (A)(ii) shall not be eligible for
a hearing under section 240.''.
SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT OF SAFE ZONES.
(a) In General.--
(1) Immigration officer.--Section 101(a)(18) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(18)) is
amended by striking ``Attorney General'' and inserting
``Secretary of Homeland Security''.
(2) Safe zone.--Section 101(a) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)) is amended by adding at the
end the following new paragraph:
``(53) The term `safe zone'--
``(A) means a facility designated under section
207(g) by the Secretary of State to accept and process
applications for refugee admissions to the United
States; and
``(B) may include a United States embassy,
consulate, or other diplomatic facility, or other
facility as determined to be appropriate by the
Secretary of State.''.
(b) Designation.--Section 207 of the Immigration and Nationality
Act (8 U.S.C. 1157) is amended by adding at the end the following new
subsection:

State, in coordination with the Secretary of Homeland Security,
shall ensure that any alien who is a national or habitual
resident of a country in which a safe zone is located, or a
country contiguous to such a country, may apply for refugee

1st Session
H. R. 2947
To deter the trafficking of illicit fentanyl, provide justice for
victims, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 27, 2023
Mr. Gooden of Texas (for himself, Mr. Gosar, Mr. Lamborn, Mr. Ellzey,
Mr. Santos, and Mr. LaMalfa) introduced the following bill; which was
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To deter the trafficking of illicit fentanyl, provide justice for
victims, 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 ``Justice Against Sponsors of Illicit
Fentanyl Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) International drug trafficking is a serious and deadly
problem that threatens the vital interests of the United States
and the safety and health of every community in the United
States.
(2) Transnational criminal organizations, cartels, and
violent gangs are leading perpetrators of drug trafficking,
often combining the manufacture and distribution of synthetic
opioids with violence, human smuggling and trafficking,
firearms trafficking, and public corruption, and pose a
sustained threat to the homeland security of the United States.
(3) Illicit fentanyl is primarily produced in clandestine
laboratories and trafficked into the United States in powder
and pill form, including fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills.
(4) The People's Republic of China (hereinafter in this
section referred to as ``China'') is the primary source country
of fentanyl precursor chemicals used to manufacture the illicit
fentanyl that is trafficked into the United States.
(5) The Commission on Combating Synthetic Opioid
Trafficking, established under section 7221 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-
92), reported in 2022 that China, which supplied 70 to 80
percent of fentanyl seized by Federal authorities between 2014
and 2019, has been surpassed by Mexico as the ``dominant
source'' of illicit fentanyl in the United States.
(6) Illicit fentanyl is primarily trafficked by land into
the United States through legal ports of entry, as well as
between such ports of entry, with some trafficking facilitated
by domestic and foreign-based social media and encrypted
communication applications.
(7) In fiscal years 2021 and 2022, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection seized over 24,000 pounds of fentanyl at ports of
entry, a 200 percent increase from the amounts seized in fiscal
years 2019 and 2020.
(8) Deaths caused by the trafficking of illicit fentanyl
have reached epidemic proportions, as--
(A) fentanyl was involved in nearly 200,000 deaths
in the United States during the period between 2014 and
2020;
(B) the number of drug overdose deaths in the
United States surpassed 100,000 during the period
between May 2020 and April 2021, of which over 64,000
deaths were related to fentanyl; and
(C) fentanyl and other synthetic opioids caused
approximately \2/3\ of more than 107,000 fatal
overdoses in the United States during 2021.
(9) Overdose deaths remain a leading cause of injury-
related death in the United States, and fentanyl-related deaths
are the leading cause of deaths among adults aged 18 to 45.
(10) Failure to meaningfully combat illicit fentanyl
trafficking will continue to stress the health care and law
enforcement resources of the United States.
(11) It is necessary to recognize the substantive causes of
action for aiding and abetting and conspiracy liability under
the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.).
(12) The decision of the United States Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia in Halberstam v. Welch, 705 F.2d 472
(D.C. Cir. 1983), which has been widely recognized as the
leading case regarding Federal civil aiding and abetting and
conspiracy liability, including by the Supreme Court of the
United States, provides the proper legal framework for how such
liability should function in the context of the Controlled
Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.).
(13) Persons, entities, or countries that knowingly or
recklessly contribute material support or resources, directly
or indirectly, to persons or organizations that pose a
significant risk of committing acts of trafficking of illicit
fentanyl that threaten the safety and health of nationals of
the United States or the national security, foreign policy, or
economy of the United States, necessarily direct such conduct
at the United States, and should reasonably anticipate being
brought to court in the United States to answer for that
conduct.
(14) The United States has a compelling interest in
providing persons and entities injured as a result of the
trafficking of illicit fentanyl into the United States with
full access to the court system in order to pursue civil claims
against persons, entities, or countries that have knowingly or
recklessly provided material support or resources, directly or
indirectly, to the persons or organizations responsible for
their injuries.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to provide civil litigants
with the broadest possible basis, consistent with the Constitution of
the United States, to seek relief against persons, entities, and
foreign countries, wherever acting and wherever they may be found, that
have provided material support, directly or indirectly, to foreign
organizations or persons that engage in the trafficking of illicit
fentanyl into the United States.
SEC. 3. RESPONSIBILITY OF FOREIGN STATES FOR THE TRAFFICKING OF
FENTANYL INTO THE UNITED STATES.
(a) In General.--Chapter 97 of title 28, United States Code, is
amended by inserting after section 1605B the following:
``Sec. 1605C. Responsibility of foreign states for the trafficking of
fentanyl into the united states
``(a) Definition.--In this section, the term `fentanyl trafficking'
means--
``(1) means any illicit activity--
``(A) to produce, manufacture, distribute, sell, or
knowingly finance or transport--
``(i) illicit fentanyl, including any
controlled substance that is a synthetic opioid
and any listed chemical (as defined in section
102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C.
802)) that is a synthetic opioid utilized for
fentanyl production; or
``(ii) active pharmaceutical ingredients or
chemicals that are used in the production of
fentanyl;
``(B) to attempt to carry out an activity described

distributing, or dispensing, or possessing with intent to
manufacture, distribute, or dispense, fentanyl or a fentanyl-
related substance in or into the United States;
``(3) an attempt or conspiracy to commit a violation
described in paragraph (2);
``(4) having manufactured, distributed, or dispensed, or
possessed with intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense,
fentanyl or a fentanyl-related substance outside the United
States with the intention of such fentanyl or fentanyl-related
substance being distributed or dispensed in or into the United
States in violation of section 401(a)(1) or 406 of the
Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 841(a)(1), 846); or
``(5) having produced or manufactured, distributed, or
dispensed, or possessed with intent to manufacture, distribute,
or dispense, a substance that is a precursor to fentanyl or a
fentanyl-related substance with the intention of such
precursor, fentanyl, or fentanyl-related substance being
distributed or dispensed in or into the United States in
violation of section 401(a)(1) or 406 of the Controlled
Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 841(a)(1), 846).
``(b) Responsibility of Foreign States.--A foreign state shall not
be immune from the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States in
any case in which money damages are sought against a foreign state for
physical injury to person or property or death occurring in the United
States and caused by--
``(1) an act of fentanyl trafficking in or into the United
States; and
``(2) a tortious act or acts of the foreign state, or of
any official, employee, or agent of that foreign state while
acting within the scope of his or her office, employment, or
agency, regardless where the tortious act or acts of the
foreign state occurred.
``(c) Claims by Nationals of the United States.--
``(1) Definition.--In this subsection, the term `person'
has the meaning given the term in section 1 of title 1.
``(2) Claims.--If a foreign state would not be immune under
subsection (b) with respect to an act of fentanyl trafficking
in or into the United States, a national of the United States
may bring a claim against the foreign state in the same manner,
and may obtain the same remedies, as a claim with respect to an
act of international terrorism brought under section 2333.
``(3) Aiding and abetting liability.--In an action under
paragraph (2) for an injury arising from an act of fentanyl
trafficking in or into the United States, liability may be
asserted as to any person who aids and abets, by knowingly
providing substantial assistance, or who conspires with the
person who committed such an act of fentanyl trafficking.
``(4) Effect on other foreign sovereign immunities.--
Nothing in paragraph (3) affects immunity of a foreign state
from jurisdiction under other law.
``(d) Rule of Construction.--A foreign state shall not be subject
to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States under subsection
(b) on the basis of an omission or a tortious act or acts that
constitute mere negligence.''.
(b) Technical and Conforming Amendments.--
(1) The table of sections for chapter 97 of title 28,
United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item
relating to section 1605B the following:
``1605C. Responsibility of foreign states for the trafficking of
fentanyl into the United States.''.
(2) Subsection 1605(g)(1)(A) of title 28, United States
Code, is amended by striking ``or section 1605B'' and inserting
``, 1605B, or 1605C''.

of this Act.
(b) Intervention.--The Attorney General, in consultation with the

States Code, as added by section 3(a) of this Act, for the purpose of
seeking a stay of the civil action, in whole or in part.
(c) Stay.--
(1) In general.--A court of the United States may stay a
proceeding against a foreign state in an action brought under
section 1605C of title 28, United States Code, as added by
section 3(a) of this Act, if the Secretary of State certifies
that the United States is engaged in good faith discussions
with the foreign state defendant concerning the resolution of
the claims against the foreign state, or any other parties as
to whom a stay of claims is sought.
(2) Duration.--
(A) In general.--A stay under this section may be

remains engaged in good faith discussions with
the foreign state defendant concerning the
resolution of the claims against the foreign

This Act may be cited as the ``Restoring Artistic Protection Act of

(a) In General.--Article IV of the Federal Rules of Evidence is
amended by adding at the end the following:
``Rule 416. Limitation on admissibility of defendant's creative or
artistic expression.
``(a) Creative and Artistic Expressions Inadmissible.--Except as
provided in subsection (b), evidence of a defendant's creative or
artistic expression, whether original or derivative, is not admissible
against such defendant.
``(b) Exception.--A court may admit evidence described in
subsection (a) if the Government, in a hearing conducted outside the
hearing of the jury, proves by clear and convincing evidence--
``(1)(A) if the expression is original, that defendant
intended a literal meaning, rather than figurative or fictional
meaning; or
``(B) if the expression is derivative, that the defendant
intended to adopt the literal meaning of the expression as the
defendant's own thought or statement;
``(2)(A) in a criminal case, that the creative expression
refers to the specific facts of the crime alleged; or
``(B) in a civil case, that the creative expression refers
to the specific facts alleged in the complaint;

that is disputed; and
``(4) that the expression has distinct probative value not
provided by other admissible evidence.
``(c) Ruling on the Record.--In any hearing under subsection (b),
the court shall make its ruling on the record, and shall include its
findings of fact essential to its ruling.
``(d) Redaction and Limiting Instructions.--If the court admits any
evidence described in subsection (a) pursuant to the exception under
subsection (b), the court shall--
``(1) ensure that the expression is redacted in a manner to
limit the evidence presented to the jury to that which is
specifically excepted under subsection (b); and
``(2) provide appropriate limiting instructions to the
jury.
``(e) Definition.--In this section, the term `creative or artistic
expression' means the expression or application of creativity or
imagination in the production or arrangement of forms, sounds, words,
movements or symbols, including music, dance, performance art, visual
art, poetry, literature, film, and other such objects or media.''.
(b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of contents for the Federal
Rules of Evidence is amended by inserting after the item relating to

section 62(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, including
parts of such law not explicitly referenced in such section but

of the Fair Labor Standards Act, or a comparable rule or
provision of State law;

the time of the making of the agreement.
``Sec. 502. No validity or enforceability
``(a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of this
title, no predispute arbitration agreement or predispute joint-action
waiver shall be valid or enforceable with respect to an employment
dispute, consumer dispute, antitrust dispute, or civil rights dispute.
``(b) Applicability.--
``(1) In general.--An issue as to whether this chapter
applies with respect to a dispute shall be determined under
Federal law. The applicability of this chapter to an agreement
to arbitrate and the validity and enforceability of an
agreement to which this chapter applies shall be determined by
a court, rather than an arbitrator, irrespective of whether the
party resisting arbitration challenges the arbitration
agreement specifically or in conjunction with other terms of
the contract containing such agreement, and irrespective of
whether the agreement purports to delegate such determinations
to an arbitrator.
``(2) Collective bargaining agreements.--Nothing in this
chapter shall apply to any arbitration provision in a contract
between an employer and a labor organization or between labor
organizations, except that no such arbitration provision shall
have the effect of waiving the right of a worker to seek
judicial enforcement of a right arising under a provision of
the Constitution of the United States, a State constitution, or
a Federal or State statute, or public policy arising
therefrom.''.
(b) Technical and Conforming Amendments.--
(1) In general.--Title 9 of the United States Code is

inserting ``chapter 4 or 5'';
(C) in section 208 by striking ``chapter 4'' and
inserting ``chapter 4 or 5''; and

dispute or claim that arises or accrues on or after such date.
SEC. 5. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.
Nothing in this Act, or the amendments made by this Act, shall be
construed to prohibit the use of arbitration on a voluntary basis after
the dispute arises.

discipline and sanctions policies to evaluate where policies
are not gender-responsive, and to include gender-responsive
mission statements and goals and revise all policies and

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 ``College Transparency Act''.
SEC. 2. POSTSECONDARY STUDENT DATA SYSTEM.
Section 132 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1015a)

``(l) Postsecondary Student Data System.--
``(1) In general.--
``(A) Establishment of system.--Not later than 4
years after the date of enactment of the College
Transparency Act, the Commissioner of the National
Center for Education Statistics (referred to in this
subsection as the `Commissioner') shall develop and
maintain a secure and privacy-protected postsecondary
student-level data system in order to--
``(i) accurately evaluate student
enrollment patterns, progression, completion,
and postcollegiate outcomes, and higher
education costs and financial aid;

institutional improvement, and analysis of
Federal aid programs;
``(iii) provide accurate, complete, and
customizable information for students and
families making decisions about postsecondary

``(B) Avoiding duplicated reporting.--
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, to
the extent that another provision of this section
requires the same reporting or collection of data that
is required under this subsection, an institution of
higher education, or the Secretary or Commissioner,
shall use the reporting or data required for the
postsecondary student data system under this subsection
to satisfy both requirements.
``(C) Development process.--In developing the
postsecondary student data system described in this
subsection, the Commissioner shall--
``(i) focus on the needs of--
``(I) users of the data system; and
``(II) entities, including

including--
``(I) the requirements of
subchapter II of chapter 35 of title
44, United States Code, specifying

Federal Information Processing
Standards or any relevant successor of
such standards;
``(II) security requirements that
are consistent with the Federal agency
responsibilities in section 3554 of
title 44, United States Code, or any
relevant successor of such
responsibilities; and
``(III) security requirements,
guidelines, and controls consistent
with cybersecurity standards and best
practices developed by the National

including frameworks, consistent with
section 2(c) of the National Institute
of Standards and Technology Act (15
U.S.C. 272(c)), or any relevant
successor of such frameworks;
``(v) follow Federal data minimization
practices to ensure only the minimum amount of
data is collected to meet the system's goals,
in accordance with Federal data minimization
standards and guidelines developed by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology;
and
``(vi) provide notice to students outlining
the data included in the system and how the
data are used.
``(2) Data elements.--
``(A) In general.--Not later than 4 years after the
date of enactment of the College Transparency Act, the
Commissioner, in consultation with the Postsecondary
Student Data System Advisory Committee established
under subparagraph (B), shall determine--
``(i) the data elements to be included in
the postsecondary student data system, in
accordance with subparagraphs (C) and (D); and
``(ii) how to include the data elements
required under subparagraph (C), and any
additional data elements selected under
subparagraph (D), in the postsecondary student
data system.
``(B) Postsecondary student data system advisory
committee.--
``(i) Establishment.--Not later than 2
years after the date of enactment of the
College Transparency Act, the Commissioner
shall establish a Postsecondary Student Data

subsection as the `Advisory Committee'), whose
members shall include--
``(I) the Chief Privacy Officer of
the Department or an official of the
Department delegated the duties of
overseeing data privacy at the
Department;
``(II) the Chief Security Officer
of the Department or an official of the
Department delegated the duties of
overseeing data security at the
Department;
``(III) representatives of diverse
institutions of higher education, which
shall include equal representation
between 2-year and 4-year institutions
of higher education, and from public,
nonprofit, and proprietary institutions
of higher education, including
minority-serving institutions;
``(IV) representatives from State
higher education agencies, entities,
bodies, or boards;
``(V) representatives of
postsecondary students;
``(VI) representatives from
relevant Federal agencies;
``(VII) individuals with expertise

``(VIII) other stakeholders
(including individuals with consumer

research).
``(ii) Requirements.--The Commissioner
shall ensure that the Advisory Committee--
``(I) adheres to all requirements
under chapter 10 of title 5, United
States Code (commonly known as the
`Federal Advisory Committee Act');
``(II) establishes operating and
meeting procedures and guidelines
necessary to execute its advisory
duties; and
``(III) is provided with
appropriate staffing and resources to
execute its advisory duties.
``(C) Required data elements.--The data elements in
the postsecondary student data system shall include, at
a minimum, the following:
``(i) Student-level data elements necessary
to calculate the information within the surveys
designated by the Commissioner as `student-
related surveys' in the Integrated
Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), as
such surveys are in effect on the day before
the date of enactment of the College
Transparency Act, except that in the case that
collection of such elements would conflict with
subparagraph (F), such elements in conflict
with subparagraph (F) shall be included in the
aggregate instead of at the student level.
``(ii) Student-level data elements
necessary to allow for reporting student
enrollment, persistence, retention, transfer,
and completion measures for all credential
levels separately (including certificate,
associate, baccalaureate, and advanced degree
levels), within and across institutions of
higher education (including across all

H. R. 2961
To ensure that the Department of Defense achieves a clean audit opinion
on its financial statements, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 27, 2023
Ms. Lee of California (for herself, Mr. Burgess, Mr. Pocan, Mr. Biggs,
Mr. Huffman, Ms. Hageman, Ms. Tlaib, Ms. Schakowsky, Mr. Garcia of
Illinois, Mr. McGovern, Mr. DeSaulnier, Ms. Jayapal, Mr. Auchincloss,
Mr. Gosar, Mr. Grijalva, and Mr. Bowman) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To ensure that the Department of Defense achieves a clean audit opinion
on its financial statements, 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 ``Audit the Pentagon Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
(1) The Pentagon failed it's 5th consecutive Audit in
November 2022.
(2) Upon failure of this audit, the DoD was unable to
account for hundreds of billions of dollars, accounting for 61
percent of it's $3.5 trillion in assets.
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) as the overall defense budget is cut, the congressional
defense committees and the Department of Defense should not
endanger the Armed Forces by reducing wounded warrior accounts
or vital protection (such as body armor) for members of the
Armed Forces serving in harm's way;
(2) the valuation of legacy assets by the Department of
Defense should be simplified without compromising essential
controls or generally accepted government auditing standards;
and
(3) nothing in this Act should be construed to require or
permit the declassification of accounting details about
classified defense programs, and, as required by law, the
Department of Defense should ensure financial accountability in
such programs using proven practices, including using auditors
with security clearances.
SEC. 4. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SPENDING REDUCTIONS IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
UNQUALIFIED AUDIT OPINION.
(a) In General.--
(1) Reductions.--If, during any fiscal year after fiscal
year 2022, the Comptroller of the Department of Defense fails
to certify to Congress that a department, agency, or other
element of the Department of Defense has achieved an
unqualified opinion on its full financial statements, the
amount available for such department, agency, or element shall
be reduced--
(A) for the fiscal year during which such
determination is made, by an amount equal to 0.5
percent; and
(B) for any subsequent fiscal year during which
such determination is made, by an amount equal to 1.0
percent.
(2) Application of reductions.--For any fiscal year for
which a reduction is made pursuant to paragraph (1) for a
department, agency, or element, the amount of the reduction
shall be applied on a pro rata basis against each program,
project, and activity of such department, agency, or element

authority of the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, Under Secretary for
Enforcement, or any other officer or employee of the Department of the
Treasury, that delegates authority to the Financial Crimes Enforcement
Network or its Director, or contains direction binding upon the
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network or its Director, in the
implementation of section 310 of title 31, United States Code, or the

(a) Reservation to the Secretary of Authority To Make Exceptions.--
No officer or employee of the Department of the Treasury, except the

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require the Federal Trade Commission to issue regulations requiring
certain products to have ``Do Not Flush'' labeling, 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 ``Wastewater Infrastructure Pollution
Prevention and Environmental Safety Act'' or the ``WIPPES Act''.
SEC. 2. ``DO NOT FLUSH'' LABELING.
(a) In General.--
(1) Regulations.--Not later than 2 years after the date of
enactment of this section, the Federal Trade Commission shall
issue regulations under section 553 of title 5, United States
Code, requiring covered entities to label covered products
clearly and conspicuously with ``Do Not Flush'' label notices
and symbols in accordance with this section.
(2) Consultation with other agencies.--In developing the
regulations required under paragraph (1), the Federal Trade
Commission may consult with the Administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency, the Commissioner of Food and
Drugs, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission as
appropriate depending on the type of covered product involved.
(b) Requirements.--
(1) Cylindrical packaging.--In issuing regulations under
subsection (a), the Commission shall require a covered product
sold in cylindrical or near-cylindrical packaging, and intended
to dispense individual wipes, to have--
(A) the symbol and label notice on the principal
display panel in a location reasonably visible to the
user each time a wipe is dispensed; or
(B) the symbol on the principal display panel and
the label notice, or a combination of the label notice
and symbol, on a flip lid in a manner that covers at
least 8 percent of the surface area of the flip lid.
(2) Flexible film packaging.--In issuing regulations under
subsection (a), the Commission shall require a covered product
sold in flexible film packaging, and intended to dispense
individual wipes, to have--
(A) the symbol on the principal display panel and,
if the principal display panel is not on the dispensing
side of the packaging, on the dispensing side panel;
and
(B) the label notice on either the principal
display panel or the dispensing side panel, in a
prominent location reasonably visible to the user each
time a wipe is dispensed.
(3) Rigid packaging.--In issuing regulations under
subsection (a), the Commission shall require a covered product
sold in a refillable tub or other rigid packaging that may be
reused by a customer, and intended to dispense individual
wipes, to have the symbol and label notice on the principal
display panel in a prominent location reasonably visible to the
user each time a wipe is dispensed.
(4) Packaging not intended to dispense individual wipes.--
In issuing regulations under subsection (a), the Commission
shall require a covered product sold in packaging that is not
intended to dispense individual wipes to have the symbol and
label notice on the principal display panel in a prominent
location reasonably visible to the user of the covered product.
(5) Bulk packaging.--
(A) In general.--In issuing regulations under
subsection (a), the Commission shall require a covered
product sold in bulk at retail to have labeling in
compliance with such regulations on both the outer
packaging visible at retail and the individual
packaging contained within the outer packaging.
(B) Exemption.--The Commission shall exempt from
the requirements under subparagraph (A) the following:
(i) Individually packaged covered products
that are contained within outer packaging, are
not intended to dispense individual wipes, and
have no retail labeling.
(ii) Outer packaging that does not obscure
the symbol and label notice on individually
packaged covered products contained within.
(6) Packaging of combined products.--
(A) Outer packaging.--In issuing regulations under
subsection (a), the Commission shall exempt the outer
packaging of a combined product from the requirements
of such regulations.
(B) Packages less than 3 by 3 inches.--In issuing
regulations under subsection (a), the Commission shall
provide that, with respect to a covered product in
packaging smaller than 3 inches by 3 inches (such as an
individually packaged wipe in tear-top packaging) and
sold as part of a combined product, if a symbol and
label notice are placed in a prominent location
reasonably visible to the user of the covered product,
such covered product is considered to be labeled
clearly and conspicuously in accordance with such
regulations.
(c) Reasonable Visibility of Symbol and Label Notice.--
(1) In general.--In requiring the symbol and label notice
under this section, the Commission shall require that--
(A) packaging seams or folds or other packaging
design elements do not obscure the symbol or label
notice;
(B) the symbol and label notice are each equal in
size to at least 2 percent of the surface area of the
principal display panel; and
(C) the symbol and label notice have high contrast
with the immediate background of the packaging so that
such symbol and label notice may be seen and read by an
ordinary individual under customary conditions of
purchase and use.
(2) Proximity of symbol and label notice.--In requiring the
symbol and label notice under this section, the Commission may
allow a symbol and label notice on a principal display panel to
be placed adjacently or on separate areas of the principal
display panel.
(3) Exception.--Paragraph (1)(C) does not apply to an
embossed symbol or label notice on the flip lid of a covered
product sold in cylindrical or near-cylindrical packaging.
(d) Additional Words or Phrases.--In issuing regulations under
subsection (a), the Commission shall allow additional words or phrases
on a covered product that describe consequences associated with
flushing or disposing of such covered product, if such words or phrases
are consistent with the purposes of this section.
(e) Representations of Flushability.--In issuing regulations under
subsection (a), the Commission shall prohibit, with respect to a
covered product, the representation or marketing of flushable
attributes, performance, or efficacy benefits.
(f) Compliance With Other Requirements.--
(1) FIFRA requirements.--
(A) In general.--Not later than 2 years after the
date of the enactment of this Act, the Commission and
the Administrator of the Environmental Protection
Agency, acting jointly, shall issue regulations that,
with respect to a covered product that contains a
pesticide required to be registered under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C.
136 et seq.), include the following:
(i) Instructions describing how such a
covered product may comply with the
requirements of such Act and the regulations
issued under subsection (a).
(ii) A requirement that, not later than 90
days after the date on which regulations are
issued under this subparagraph, a covered
entity shall submit for approval by the
Administrator of the Environmental Protection
Agency a product label compliant with such
instructions.
(B) Enforcement.--For purposes of subsection (h), a
violation of a regulation issued under subparagraph (A)
shall be treated as a violation of a regulation issued
under subsection (a).
(2) Type size exception.--If the label notice type size
otherwise required by the regulations issued under subsection
(a) for a covered product would conflict with a labeling
requirement under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.) or the Federal Hazardous
Substances Act (15 U.S.C. 1261 et seq.), the Commission may, in
issuing such regulations, provide for a label notice type size
requirement for the covered product under this section that--
(A) in the case of a covered product required to
display a warning pursuant to the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act regarding a pesticide in
such covered product, requires a type size for the
label notice under this paragraph that is equal to or
greater than the type size required for the ``keep out
of reach of children'' statement under such Act; and
(B) in the case of a covered product required to
contain first aid instructions pursuant to the Federal
Hazardous Substances Act, requires a type size for the
label notice under this paragraph that is equal to or
greater than the type size required for such first aid
instructions.
(g) Applicability.--The Commission shall provide that the
regulations issued under subsection (a) apply with respect to covered
products manufactured on or after the date that is 90 days after the
date on which such regulations are issued.
(h) Enforcement by Federal Trade Commission.--
(1) Unfair or deceptive acts or practices.--A violation of
a regulation promulgated under subsection (a) shall be treated
as a violation of a regulation under section 18(a)(1)(B) of the
Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 57a(a)(1)(B)) regarding
unfair or deceptive acts or practices.
(2) Powers of commission.--Except as provided in paragraph
(3), the Commission shall enforce the regulations promulgated
under subsection (a) in the same manner, by the same means, and
with the same jurisdiction, powers, and duties as though all
applicable terms and provisions of the Federal Trade Commission
Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.) were incorporated into and made a
part of this section, and any person who violates such a
regulation shall be subject to the penalties and entitled to
the privileges and immunities provided in the Federal Trade
Commission Act.
(3) Penalty amounts.--Notwithstanding section 5 of the
Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 45), any civil
penalties imposed under such section with respect to a
violation of a regulation promulgated under subsection (a) of
this section shall be in accordance with the following:
(A) A fine of not more than $2,500 for each day
that a violation occurs.
(B) In no event may the total amount of fines
imposed for a single violation exceed $100,000.
