<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H.R. 3154 Introduced in House (IH)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 3154 To reduce and eliminate threats posed by nuclear weapons to the United States, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 9, 2023 Mr. McGovern (for himself, Mr. Beyer, Mr. Blumenauer, and Mr. Garamendi) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services, and in addition to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, 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 reduce and eliminate threats posed by nuclear weapons to 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 ``Hastening Arms Limitations Talks Act of 2023'' or the ``HALT Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) The use of nuclear weapons poses an existential threat to humanity, a fact that led President Ronald Reagan and Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev to declare in a joint statement in 1987 that a ``nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought'', a sentiment affirmed by the People's Republic of China, the French Republic, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America in January 2022. (2) On June 12, 1982, an estimated 1,000,000 people attended the largest peace rally in United States history, in support of a movement to freeze and reverse the nuclear arms race, a movement that helped to create the political will necessary for the negotiation of several bilateral arms control treaties between the United States and former Soviet Union, and then the Russian Federation. Those treaties contributed to strategic stability through mutual and verifiable reciprocal nuclear weapons reductions. (3) Since the advent of nuclear weapons in 1945, millions of people around the world have stood up to demand meaningful, immediate international action to halt, reduce, and eliminate the threats posed by nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons testing, and nuclear war, to humankind and the planet. (4) In 1970, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons done at Washington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968 (21 UST 483) (commonly referred to as the ``Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty'' or the ``NPT''), entered into force, which includes a binding obligation on the 5 nuclear-weapon states (commonly referred to as the ``P5''), among other things, ``to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to the cessation of the nuclear arms race . . . and to nuclear disarmament''. (5) Bipartisan United States global leadership has curbed the growth in the number of countries possessing nuclear weapons and has slowed overall vertical proliferation among countries already possessing nuclear weapons, as is highlighted by a more than 90-percent reduction in the United States nuclear weapons stockpile from its Cold War height of 31,255 in 1967. (6) The United States testing of nuclear weapons is no longer necessary as a result of the following major technical developments since the Senate's consideration of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (commonly referred to as the ``CTBT'') in 1999: (A) The verification architecture of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban-Treaty Organization (commonly referred to as the ``CTBTO'')-- (i) has made significant advancements, as seen through its network of 300 International Monitoring Stations and its International Data Centre, which together provide for the near instantaneous detection of nuclear explosives tests, including all 6 such tests conducted by North Korea between 2006 and 2017; and (ii) is operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. (B) Since the United States signed the CTBT, confidence has grown in the science-based Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan of the Department of Energy, which forms the basis of annual certifications to the President regarding the continual safety, security, and effectiveness of the United States nuclear deterrent in the absence of nuclear testing, leading former Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz to remark in 2015 that ``lab directors today now state that they certainly understand much more about how nuclear weapons work than during the period of nuclear testing''. (7) Despite the progress made to reduce the number and role of, and risks posed by, nuclear weapons, and to halt the Cold War-era nuclear arms race, tensions between countries that possess nuclear weapons are on the rise, key nuclear risk reduction treaties are under threat, significant stockpiles of weapons-usable fissile material remain, and a qualitative global nuclear arms race is now underway with each of the countries that possess nuclear weapons spending tens of billions of dollars each year to maintain and improve their arsenals. (8) The Russian Federation is pursuing the development of destabilizing types of nuclear weapons that are not presently covered under any existing arms control treaty or agreement and the People's Republic of China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea have each taken concerning steps to diversify their more modest sized, but nonetheless very deadly, nuclear arsenals. (9) President Joseph R. Biden's 2022 Nuclear Posture Review was right to label the nuclear-armed Sea-Launched Cruise Missile ``no longer necessary'', as this weapon, if deployed, would have the effect of lowering the threshold for nuclear weapons use. (10) On February 3, 2021, President Joseph R. Biden preserved binding and verifiable limits on the deployed and non-deployed strategic forces of the largest two nuclear weapons powers through the five-year extension of the Treaty between the United States of America and the Russian Federation on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, signed April 8, 2010, and entered into force February 5, 2011 (commonly referred to as the ``New START Treaty''). (11) In 2013, the report on a nuclear weapons employment strategy of the United States submitted under section 492 of title 10, United States Code, determined that it is possible to ensure the security of the United States and allies and partners of the United States and maintain a strong and credible strategic deterrent while safely pursuing up to a \1/ 3\ reduction in deployed nuclear weapons from the level established in the New START Treaty. (12) On January 12, 2017, then-Vice President Biden stated, ``[G]iven our non-nuclear capabilities and the nature of today's threats--it's hard to envision a plausible scenario in which the first use of nuclear weapons by the United States would be necessary. Or make sense.''. (13) In light of moves by the United States and other countries to increase their reliance on nuclear weapons, a global nuclear freeze would seek to halt the new nuclear arms race by seeking conclusion of a comprehensive and verifiable freeze on the testing, deployment, and production of nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles for such weapons. (14) The reckless and repeated nuclear threats by Russian President Vladimir Putin since his February 2022 invasion of Ukraine underscore the need for a global nuclear freeze. SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY. The following is the policy of the United States: (1) The United States should build upon its decades long, bipartisan efforts to reduce the number and salience of nuclear weapons by leading international negotiations on specific arms- reduction measures as part of a 21st century global nuclear freeze movement. (2) Building on the 2021 extension of the New START Treaty, the United States should engage with all other countries that possess nuclear weapons to seek to negotiate and conclude future multilateral arms control, disarmament, and risk reduction agreements, which should contain some or all of the following provisions: (A) An agreement by the United States and the Russian Federation on a resumption of on-site inspections and verification measures per the New START Treaty and a follow-on treaty or agreement to the New START Treaty that may lower the central limits of the Treaty and cover new kinds of strategic delivery vehicles or non-strategic nuclear weapons. (B) An agreement on a verifiable freeze on the testing, production, and further deployment of all nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles for such weapons. (C) An agreement that establishes a verifiable numerical ceiling on the deployed shorter-range and intermediate-range and strategic delivery systems (as defined by the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and the New START Treaty, respectively) and the nuclear warheads associated with such systems belonging to the P5, and to the extent possible, all countries that possess nuclear weapons, at August 2, 2019, levels. (D) An agreement by each country to adopt a policy of no first use of nuclear weapons or provide transparency into its nuclear declaratory policy. (E) An agreement on a proactive United Nations Security Council resolution that expands access by the International Atomic Energy Agency to any country found by the Board of Governors of that Agency to be noncompliant with its obligations under the NPT. (F) An agreement to refrain from configuring nuclear forces in a ``launch on warning'' or ``launch under warning'' nuclear posture, which may prompt a nuclear armed country to launch a ballistic missile attack in response to detection by an early-warning satellite or sensor of a suspected incoming ballistic missile. (G) An agreement not to target or interfere in the nuclear command, control, and communications (commonly referred to as ``NC3'') infrastructure of another country through a kinetic attack or a cyberattack. (H) An agreement on transparency measures or verifiable limits, or both, on hypersonic cruise missiles and glide vehicles that are fired from sea- based, ground, and air platforms. (I) An agreement to provide a baseline and continuous exchanges detailing the aggregate number of active nuclear weapons and associated systems possessed by each country. (3) The United States should rejuvenate efforts in the United Nations Conference on Disarmament toward the negotiation of a verifiable Fissile Material Treaty or Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty, or move negotiations to another international body or fora, such as a meeting of the P5. Successful conclusion of such a treaty would verifiably prevent any country's production of highly enriched uranium and plutonium for use in nuclear weapons. (4) The United States should convene a series of head-of- state level summits on nuclear disarmament modeled on the Nuclear Security Summits process, which saw the elimination of the equivalent of 3,000 nuclear weapons. (5) The President should seek ratification by the Senate of the CTBT and mobilize all countries covered by Annex 2 of the CTBT to pursue similar action to hasten entry into force of the CTBT. The entry into force of the CTBT, for which ratification by the United States will provide critical momentum, will activate the CTBT's onsite inspection provision to investigate allegations that any country that is a party to the CTBT has conducted a nuclear test of any yield. (6) The President should make the accession of North Korea to the CTBT a component of any final agreement in fulfilling the pledges the Government of North Korea made in Singapore, as North Korea is reportedly the only country to have conducted a nuclear explosive test since 1998. (7) The United States should-- (A) refrain from developing any new designs for nuclear warheads or bombs, but especially designs that could add a level of technical uncertainty into the United States stockpile and thus renew calls to resume nuclear explosive testing in order to test that new design; and (B) seek reciprocal commitments from other countries that possess nuclear weapons. SEC. 4. PROHIBITION ON USE OF FUNDS FOR NUCLEAR TEST EXPLOSIONS. (a) In General.--None of the funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2024 or any fiscal year thereafter, or authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available for any fiscal year before fiscal year 2024 and available for obligation as of the date of the enactment of this Act, may be obligated or expended to conduct or make preparations for any explosive nuclear weapons test that produces any yield until such time as-- (1) the President submits to Congress an addendum to the report required by section 4205 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2525) that details any change to the condition of the United States nuclear weapons stockpile from the report submitted under that section in the preceding year; and (2) there is enacted into law a joint resolution of Congress that approves the test. (b) Rule of Construction.--Subsection (a) does not limit nuclear stockpile stewardship activities that are consistent with the zero- yield standard and other requirements under law. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

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 ``Food Date Labeling Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.

(2) Discard date.--The term ``discard date'' means a date voluntarily printed on a food label that signifies the end of the estimated period of shelf life under any stated storage conditions, after which the entity responsible for the food label advises the product not be consumed. (3) Quality date.--The term ``quality date'' means a date voluntarily printed on a food label that is intended to communicate to consumers the date after which-- (A) the quality of the product may begin to deteriorate; but (B) the product remains apparently wholesome food (as defined in subsection (b) of the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act (42 U.S.C. 1791(b))). SEC. 3. QUALITY DATES AND DISCARD DATES. (a) Quality Dates.-- (1) In general.--If a quality date is used on a food label, such quality date shall be immediately proceeded by the uniform quality date label phrase under paragraph (2). (2) Uniform phrase.--The uniform quality date label phrase under this paragraph shall be ``BEST If Used By'' or, if permissible under subsection (c)(3), the standard abbreviation of ``BB'', unless and until the administering Secretaries, acting in coordination, specify through rulemaking another uniform phrase to be used for purposes of complying with paragraph (1). (3) Option of the entity responsible for the food label.-- The decisions of whether to include a quality date on food packaging and which foods should be so labeled shall be at the discretion of the entity responsible for the food label. (b) Discard Dates.-- (1) In general.--If a discard date is used on a food label, such discard date shall be immediately proceeded by the uniform discard date label phrase under paragraph (2). (2) Uniform phrase.--The uniform discard date label phrase under this paragraph shall be ``USE By'' or, if permissible under subsection (c)(3), the standard abbreviation of ``UB'', unless and until the administering Secretaries, acting in coordination, specify through rulemaking another uniform phrase to be used for purposes of complying with paragraph (1). (3) Option of the entity responsible for the food label.-- The decisions of whether to include a discard date on food packaging and which foods should be so labeled shall be at the discretion of the entity responsible for the food label. (c) Quality Date and Discard Date Labeling.-- (1) In general.--The quality date or discard date, as applicable, and immediately adjacent uniform quality date label phrase or discard date label phrase shall be-- (A) in single easy-to-read type style; and (B) located in a conspicuous place on the food label or elsewhere on the package. (2) Date format.--Each quality date and discard date shall be stated in terms of month and year or, as appropriate, month, day, and year. (3) Abbreviations.--A standard abbreviation of ``BB'' and ``UB'' for the quality date and discard date, respectively, may be used only if the food label is too small to include the uniform phrase described in subsection (a)(2) or (b)(2), as applicable. (4) Freeze by.--A food labeler may add ``or freeze by'' following a uniform quality date label phrase or discard date label phrase. (d) Education.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the administering Secretaries, acting in coordination, shall provide consumer education and outreach on the meaning of quality dates and discard dates on food labels. (e) Effect; Preemption.-- (1) Effect on sale or donation of foods.--Nothing in this Act or an amendment made by this Act prohibits any State or political subdivision of a State from establishing or continuing in effect any requirement that prohibits the sale or donation of foods based on passage of the discard date. (2) Effect on infant formula.--Nothing in this Act or an amendment made by this Act-- (A) applies with respect to infant formula (as defined in section 201(z) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321(z))); or (B) affects the requirements relating to infant formula under section 412 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 350a) or any other applicable provision of law. (3) Preemption.--No State or political subdivision of a State may establish or continue in effect any requirement that-- (A) relates to the inclusion in food labeling of a quality date or a discard date that is different from or in addition to, or that is otherwise not identical with, the requirements of this Act and the amendments made by this Act; or (B) prohibits the sale or donation of foods based on passage of the quality date. (4) Enforcement.--The administering Secretaries, acting in coordination with the Federal Trade Commission, shall ensure that the uniform quality date label phrase and uniform discard date label phrase are standardized across all food products. (5) Savings.--Notwithstanding paragraph (3), nothing in this Act, any amendment made by this Act, or any standard or requirement imposed pursuant to this Act preempts, displaces, or supplants any State or Federal common law rights or any State or Federal statute creating a remedy for civil relief, including a remedy for civil damage, or a penalty for criminal conduct. (f) Time Temperature Indicator Labels.--Nothing in this Act or an amendment made by this Act prohibits or restricts the use of time- temperature indicator labels or similar technology that is in addition to or in lieu of any uniform quality date label phrase under subsection (a)(2) or uniform discard date label phrase under subsection (b)(2). SEC. 4. MISBRANDING. (a) FDA Violations.--Section 403 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 343) is amended by adding at the end the following: ``(z) If the label bears a quality date or discard date that fails to comply with the requirements as specified in sections 3(a) and 3(b) of the Food Date Labeling Act of 2023, or that fails to meet the requirements as specified in section 3(c) of such Act.''.

(d) Egg Products.--Section 7(b) of the Egg Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 1036(b)) is amended in the first sentence by inserting ``or if its labeling is in violation of section 3 of the Food Date Labeling Act of 2023'' before the period at the end. SEC. 5. DELAYED APPLICABILITY. This Act and the amendments made by this Act shall apply only with respect to food products that are labeled on or after the date that is 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

<p><b>Clean Water Allotment Modernization Act of 2023</b></p> <p>This bill revises the formula the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses to determine how to distribute funds from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) program. Under the program, the EPA allocates funding to states for water quality infrastructure projects, such as wastewater systems and stormwater management projects.</p> <p>In FY2024-FY2028, the EPA must provide an initial allotment to each state that is equal to the amount the state received in FY2023. The EPA must also provide an additional allotment to each state that is based on its share of the U.S. population. </p> <p>In FY2029 and each subsequent fiscal year, the EPA must use an updated allotment formula, which is based on the needs of states as identified in the most recently available clean watersheds needs survey.</p> <p>Beginning in FY2024, the formula must also provide allotments for Indian tribes and territories. In addition, the formula must provide an allotment for EPA's oversight of SRF projects to ensure they use American iron and steel.</p>

(b) Study.-- (1) In general.--The Secretary of Agriculture (referred to in this section as the ``Secretary'') shall seek to enter into an agreement (referred to in this section as the ``Agreement'') with the National Academy of Sciences, or another nongovernmental entity that the Secretary determines to be most appropriate, under which the National Academy of Sciences or other entity, as applicable, not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, shall conduct, and submit to Congress a report describing the results of, a study to analyze the available resources that Federal agencies have to research, and find solutions to, nonnative plant pests and pathogens. (2) Recommendations.--The report submitted pursuant to paragraph (1) shall include recommendations-- (A) with respect to-- (i) establishing a national policy to effectively counter the threat posed by nonnative pests and disease pathogens to tree species, including preventing the introduction and spread of those pests and pathogens, minimizing the damage caused by those pests and pathogens, and restoring affected tree species to the forest; (ii) improving coordination and cooperation among Federal agencies with responsibility for management and repair of the decimation of tree species affected by nonnative pests and disease pathogens and associated ecological destruction; (iii) addressing the low prioritization by the Federal agencies described in clause (ii) of nonnative plant pests and pathogens affecting forests and trees; (iv)(I) identifying expertise and site and facility resources within the Federal agencies described in clause (ii); and (II) improving coordination among those agencies with respect to the management and repair described in clause (ii), including coordination with academic institutions and other appropriate nonprofit organizations; (v) the establishment of a center for nonnative forest pest control, prevention, and species restoration within the Department of Agriculture, including potential organizational structures of such a center, with an emphasis on including representation of a wide variety of appropriate agencies within the center, including the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the Agriculture Research Service, the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Forest Service, and any other agency that the Secretary determines is appropriate; and (vi)(I) giving priority to the emergency response of the Department of Agriculture to an emergency relating to nonnative pests and disease pathogens; (II) clarifying the coordination of the Department of Agriculture with other Federal agencies in responding to those emergencies; and (III) identifying funding levels sufficient to carry out responses to those emergencies; and (B) that-- (i) take into account existing Federal resources; and (ii) may be implemented through further legislative and administrative action. (3) Consultation.--The Agreement shall require the National Academy of Sciences or other entity, as applicable, to consult with specialists in entomology, genetics, forest pathology, tree breeding, forest and urban ecology, and invasive species management. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

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 ``Teaching Asian Pacific American History Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) The United States has benefitted from the integral role Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have played in our Nation's history and contributions to the world. (2) The Pacific Island Territories of Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and all of the Pacific Islands, including Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia have unique histories that are often overlooked in American history despite their immense contributions to our Nation. (3) The traditional American history curriculum for kindergarten through grade 12 continues to be taught from a Eurocentric point of view and excludes histories of racist immigration laws relevant to policies today. (4) Social studies textbooks for kindergarten through grade 12 poorly represent Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, overlook the diversity within those communities, and print images of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in stereotypical roles. (5) The Federal Government, through support for educational activities of national museums established under Federal law, can assist teachers in efforts to incorporate historically accurate instruction on the comprehensive history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and assist students in their exploration of Asian Pacific American history as an integral part of American history. (6) The history of America's system of immigration is rife with racism, embedded with goals of hiring workers to work for cheaper wages and labor in heinous working conditions. (7) Congress has continuously passed anti-Asian laws as the result of the scapegoating of Asian immigrant laborers for economic downturns in the United States. (8) The history of South Asian Americans in the United States dates back to the late 1700s. (9) The history of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in what is now considered to be the United States predates the founding of our Nation. (10) In 1993, Congress passed a joint resolution that was signed into law formally apologizing for the role of the United States in the illegal overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, which resulted in the suppression of the inherent sovereignty of the Native Hawaiian people. (11) Twelve thousand Chinese laborers worked in atrocious conditions to build the Transcontinental Railroad, many dying from harsh weather conditions and the dangers of handling explosives. (12) The Page Act of 1875, the first restrictive immigration law in the United States, sought to prevent the entry of Asian women perceived as immoral or suspected of prostitution. (13) After the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 banned Chinese immigrants from immigrating to the United States, Japanese immigrants were hired. After the Japanese were banned from immigrating due to the Gentleman's Agreement of 1907, which halted immigration from Japan, Filipino immigrants were hired under 3-year contracts. (14) Filipino farm workers helped found the farm worker labor movement in the United States. (15) The Immigration Act of 1917 restricted immigration to the United States by barring immigration from the Asia-Pacific zone. (16) The Immigration Act of 1924 set a national origin quota to deter immigration. (17) President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066 authorized the incarceration of more than 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry, two-thirds of whom were American citizens, based solely on race. (18) Beginning in 1954, the United States displaced more than 3,000,000 refugees from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam due to covert and overt United States military operations in Southeast Asia. (19) The Immigration Act of 1965 made family unification and skills-based migration the bedrock principle of immigration to the United States. (20) The nuclear testing conducted by the United States on the Bikini and Enewetak Atoll of the Marshall Islands has made parts of the island nation uninhabitable and caused forced migration and health complications that still impact the community today. (21) The United States ratified a Compact of Free Association with the Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau enabling citizens of these Pacific Island nations to legally migrate to the United States visa-free while the United States retains certain strategic military rights over their territorial waters. (22) In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, the Refugee Act of 1980 helped more than 500,000 Southeast Asians gain permanent resident status in the United States within the first decade of its passage. (23) The Pacific Islander community represents the largest concentration of any ethnic group enlisted in the United States military, as well as representing the highest numbers of casualties in recent wars. (24) The ``model minority'' myth perpetuates the stigma of Asian Americans as perpetual foreigners, and such stereotypes are used to pit minority groups against one another. (25) The pattern of hate crimes and hate incidents directed at Asians and Asian Americans has repeated itself throughout history. (26) Asian American and African American histories of fighting against oppression and racism are intertwined, from the Black Power Movement of the 1960s that birthed the Asian American Movement to civil rights protests in present day. (27) Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and their allies continue to fight discrimination, racial prejudice, hate crimes, scapegoating, structural racism, economic inequities, and benign and overt omission of the integral role they played in the development of this Nation.

<p><strong>Legal Workforce Act</strong></p> <p>This bill directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to create an electronic employment eligibility confirmation system modeled after and to replace the E-Verify system, which allows employers and recruiters to verify the immigration status of individuals. The bill also mandates the use of such a system, where currently only some employers, such as those with federal contracts, are required to use E-Verify.</p> <p>The bill specifies documents that can establish an individual's identity and employment authorization. During the period starting when a job offer is made until three business days after hiring, the individual must attest to his or her employment authorization, and the employer or recruiter must attest that it has examined the individual's required documents.</p> <p>Employers shall reverify certain types of employees who were not previously verified using E-verify.</p> <p>The Social Security Administration shall notify employees if their Social Security number has been used multiple times in an unusual manner. DHS shall establish programs for blocking and suspending misused numbers.</p> <p>Employers that are required to use the verification system shall not be liable for any employment-related action based on a good-faith reliance on the information from the system.</p> <p>The bill establishes a phased-in participation deadline for different categories of employers, including agricultural employers.</p> <p>The bill increases civil penalties related to hiring individuals without work authorization. It also preempts state laws relating to hiring and employment eligibility verification, but states may use their authority of business licensing to penalize employers for failing to comply with the bill's provisions.</p> <p>

If the individual does not contest the nonconfirmation within the time period specified, the nonconfirmation shall be considered final. The person or entity shall then record on the form an appropriate code which has been provided under the system to indicate a final nonconfirmation. If the individual does contest the nonconfirmation, the individual shall utilize the process for secondary verification provided under subsection (d). The nonconfirmation will remain tentative until a final confirmation or nonconfirmation is provided by the verification system within the time period specified.

If the verification system cannot receive inquiries at all times during a day, the person or entity merely has to assert that the entity attempted to make the inquiry on that day for the previous sentence to apply to such an inquiry, and does not have to provide any additional proof concerning such inquiry. ``(V) Consequences of nonconfirmation.-- ``(aa) Termination or notification of continued employment.--If the person or other entity has received a final nonconfirmation regarding an individual, the person or entity may terminate employment of the individual (or decline to recruit or refer the individual).

NURSE Act

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H.R. 3197 Introduced in House (IH)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 3197 To make demonstration grants to eligible local educational agencies or consortia of eligible local educational agencies for the purpose of increasing the numbers of school nurses in public elementary schools and secondary schools. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 10, 2023 Ms. Titus introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To make demonstration grants to eligible local educational agencies or consortia of eligible local educational agencies for the purpose of increasing the numbers of school nurses in public elementary schools and secondary schools. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Nurses for Under-Resourced Schools Everywhere Act'' or the ``NURSE Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) The National Association of School Nurses identifies schools as primary locations to address student health issues, since a school nurse is the health care provider that many students see on the most regular basis. (2) The American Academy of Pediatrics has recognized the crucial role that school nurses play in children's health and has called for having a full-time school nurse every day and in every school building. (3) The school nurse functions as the leader and coordinator of the school health services team, including by carrying out chronic disease management and health promotion as well as facilitating access to a medical home for each child and supporting academic achievement. (4) School nurses promote wellness and disease prevention to improve health outcomes for our Nation's children. In addition, school nurses perform early intervention services such as periodic assessments for vision, hearing, and dental problems, in an effort to remove barriers to learning. (5) The American Federation of Teachers has called for a nurse in every school, as nurses are front-line workers that address an array of health needs and their presence in a school can help to improve student learning. (6) According to 2017 data from the National Association of School Nurses, only 39.3 percent of schools employ a full-time school nurse, while 35.5 percent of schools employ a school nurse only part-time, and 25.2 percent do not have a school nurse at all. (7) The National Association of School Nurses has reported that medication administration to students is one of the most common health-related activities performed in school. As more chronically ill and medically unstable children enter the school system each year, the medical factors that promote and support their academic success increase, including the need for medications that enhance overall health or stabilize chronic conditions. (8) National data indicate that between 15 and 20 percent of children who spend their day in school have a chronic health condition. (9) According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, students today face increased social and emotional issues, which enhance the need for preventive services and interventions for acute and chronic health issues. School nurses are actively engaged members of school-based mental health teams and spend nearly 32 percent of their time providing mental health services, including universal and targeted interventions, screenings to identify early warning signs and provide referrals to medical providers, and crisis planning. (10) According to the Department of Education, during the 2013-2014 school year, 1,360,747 children enrolled in public schools experienced homelessness. Homeless children develop increased rates of acute and chronic health conditions, and the stress of their living situation can negatively affect their development and ability to learn. As a result, schools have become the primary access to health care for many children and adolescents. School nurses serve on the front lines as a safety net for the Nation's most vulnerable children. (11) Communicable and infectious diseases account for millions of school days lost each year. Data illustrate that when students have access to a registered nurse in school, immunization rates increase. (12) Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, school nurses have played an important role helping students and coordinating activities such as contact tracing and symptom screening. SEC. 3.

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H.R. 3211 Introduced in House (IH)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 3211 To direct the Secretary of Labor to carry out a competitive grant program to support community colleges and career and technical education centers in developing immersive technology education and training programs for workforce development, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 11, 2023 Ms. Blunt Rochester (for herself, Mr. Walberg, Mr. Soto, and Mr. Garbarino) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To direct the Secretary of Labor to carry out a competitive grant program to support community colleges and career and technical education centers in developing immersive technology education and training programs for workforce development, 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 ``Immersive Technology for the American Workforce Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) Rural communities have unique workforce considerations and challenges. (2) Almost 25 percent of Americans live in rural communities, and while urban areas have experienced job and population growth, rural communities face static or declining populations and job decline. (3) Rural communities were hit harder and recovered more slowly than urban centers during the 2007-2008 recession and have experienced more economic depression and decline in college enrollment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (4) Rural communities historically have lower rates of postsecondary education, which is a barrier to traditional employment in industries like agriculture and manufacturing. (5) The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs report estimates that by 2025 over half of all employees will require ``significant'' reskilling creating a significant demand for workforce development and training programs. (6) Immersive technologies are proving effective in helping rural communities tackle these challenges. (7) Technologically mediated training can include extended reality (XR) tools (such as augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality, and high-tech simulations), which are increasingly valued as resources to train workers in industries ranging from manufacturing to health care, agriculture to construction, and clean energy to public safety. (8) Use of immersive technology permits on-site training and continued education, promotes efficiency, aids recruiting as well as retention, improves communication and collaboration, and increases safety. (9) Immersive technologies allow workers to train directly under the supervision and tutelage of more experienced experts who are located outside of the local community. (10) These technologies help workers remain well equipped for the demands of the modern economy. As the need for reskilling increases, so will the need for technologies which support American workers rather than replace them. (11) Building in accessibility features in immersive technology for usability by individuals with disabilities, including disabled veterans, allows inclusive immersive technology to benefit more workers. (12) Community colleges, area career and technical education centers, and other training providers are uniquely positioned to support rural communities in skills development and workforce training. (13) People without a postsecondary credential are 4 times more likely to have a job that can be lost to automation than those who have one, increasing their need to learn new skills in order to remain competitive and employable. (14) Community colleges provide education at a lower cost, with most graduates incurring no student debt. (15) In addition to providing lower cost workforce development training and skills education applicable across a range of roles and occupations, community colleges serve as large regional employers and critical community hubs. (16) Offering grants to community colleges and area career and technical education centers in rural areas to develop and provide immersive technology training programs will help rural communities or significantly serve rural areas in the short term and position them for success in the longer term. (17) Despite their proven value, community colleges and area career and technical education schools bear significant funding limitations and shortages. (18) Providing immersive technology training programs through community colleges can help rural communities retain local talent, whether by providing qualification for new local jobs or for remote employment opportunities with companies headquartered in urban centers that are struggling to fill jobs. (19) Ensuring the accessibility of immersive technology training tools can expand opportunities for people with disabilities to learn and work from wherever they reside. Given that some people with disabilities choose remote options to meet their access needs, it is critical to make immersive technology training tools accessible to everyone. (20) Immersive technology training partnership with community colleges and area career and technical education schools also complements recent Federal funding for broadband connection and physical infrastructure, the two other biggest hurdles facing rural students and workers seeking reskilling or upskilling. SEC. 3. GRANTS FOR IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION WORKFORCE TRAINING PROGRAMS AND CAREER PATHWAYS.

[ [ "C001068", "Rep. Cohen, Steve [D-TN-9]", "sponsor" ] ]
<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H.R. 3221 Introduced in House (IH)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 3221 To prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment, to require States to conduct such redistricting through independent commissions, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 11, 2023 Mr. Cohen introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment, to require States to conduct such redistricting through independent commissions, 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; FINDING OF CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY. (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``John Tanner and Jim Cooper Fairness and Independence in Redistricting Act''. (b) Finding.--Congress finds that it has the authority to establish the terms and conditions States must follow in carrying out Congressional redistricting after an apportionment of Members of the House of Representatives because-- (1) the authority granted to Congress under article I, section 4 of the Constitution of the United States gives Congress the power to enact laws governing the time, place, and manner of elections for Members of the House of Representatives; and (2) the authority granted to Congress under section 5 of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution gives Congress the power to enact laws to enforce section 2 of such amendment, which requires Representatives to be apportioned among the several States according to their number. SEC. 2. LIMIT ON CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING AFTER AN APPORTIONMENT. The Act entitled ``An Act for the relief of Doctor Ricardo Vallejo Samala and to provide for congressional redistricting'', approved December 14, 1967 (2 U.S.C. 2c), is amended by adding at the end the following: ``A State which has been redistricted in the manner provided by law after an apportionment under section 22(a) 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), may not be redistricted again until after the next apportionment of Representatives under such section, unless a court requires the State to conduct such subsequent redistricting to comply with the Constitution or to enforce the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (52 U.S.C. 10301 et seq.).''. SEC. 3. REQUIRING REDISTRICTING TO BE CONDUCTED THROUGH PLAN OF INDEPENDENT STATE COMMISSION OR PLAN OF HIGHEST STATE COURT. (a) Use of Plan Required.-- (1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any Congressional redistricting conducted by a State shall be conducted in accordance with-- (A) the redistricting plan developed by the independent redistricting commission established in the State, in accordance with section 4; or (B) if the plan developed by such commission is not enacted into law, the redistricting plan selected by the highest court in the State or developed by a United States district court, in accordance with section 5. (2) Treatment of commissions established pursuant to laws enacted prior to enactment.--If Congressional redistricting in a State is conducted in accordance with a redistricting plan developed by a commission which was established in the State pursuant to a law enacted prior to the date of the enactment of this Act, the redistricting shall be deemed to meet the requirement of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1). (3) Other criteria and procedures permitted.--Nothing in this Act or the amendments made by this Act may be construed to prohibit a State from conducting Congressional redistricting in accordance with such criteria and procedures as the State considers appropriate, to the extent that such criteria and procedures are consistent with the applicable requirements of this Act and the amendments made by this Act. (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 22(c) 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(c)), is amended by striking ``in the manner provided by the law thereof'' and inserting: ``in the manner provided by the John Tanner and Jim Cooper Fairness and Independence in Redistricting Act''.

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H.R. 3223 Introduced in House (IH)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 3223 To authorize additional district judges for the district court for the eastern district of California. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 11, 2023 Mr. Costa (for himself, Mr. Obernolte, and Ms. Matsui) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To authorize additional district judges for the district court for the eastern district of California. 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 ``Creating Additional Seats to Ease Legally Overburdened Adjudicators' Dockets Act of 2023'' or the ``CASE LOAD Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) The Federal district court for the eastern district of California is the Federal trial court for 34 counties, including five of the fastest-growing cities in the State of California, serving a population of approximately 8,400,000. (2) The Federal district court for the eastern district of California is one of the largest judicial districts in the country, with approximately 8,400,000 residents and over 87,000 square miles of land. Yet, there are only six permanent judgeships, with one upcoming vacancy pending a nomination elevating a sitting district judge. (3) Based on the 2019 U.S. census data, the ratio of authorized district judgeships to population was 1:1,362,552. The central district of California has the next highest ratio in the State, nearly half the size, with 1:694,323. (4) As of June 2022, the total pending cases per judgeship in the Federal district court for the eastern district of California was 1,308, over 2.6 times larger than the average for all districts within the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Pending caseloads remain high, and if a new vacancy opens upon the elevation of the district judge, caseloads will once again reach this unsustainable level. SEC. 3. ADDITIONAL DISTRICT JUDGES FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA. (a) 2025.-- (1) Additional judgeships.--On or after January 21, 2025, the President shall appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, 2 additional district judges for the eastern district of California. (2) Clerical amendment.--The table contained in section 133(a) of title 28, United States Code, is amended by striking the items relating to California and inserting the following: ``California: Northern............................. 14 Eastern.............................. 8 Central.............................. 27 Southern............................. 13''. (3) Effective date.--The amendment made by paragraph (2) shall take effect on January 20, 2025. (b) 2027.-- (1) Additional judgeships.--On or after January 5, 2027, the President shall appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, 1 additional district judge for the eastern district of California. (2) Clerical amendment.--The table contained in section 133(a) of title 28, United States Code, is amended by striking the items relating to California and inserting the following: ``California: Northern............................. 14 Eastern.............................. 9 Central.............................. 27 Southern............................. 13''. (3) Effective date.--The amendment made by paragraph (2) shall take effect on January 4, 2027. (c) 2029.-- (1) Additional judgeships.--On or after January 21, 2029, the President shall appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, 2 additional district judges for the eastern district of California. (2) Clerical amendment.--The table contained in section 133(a) of title 28, United States Code, is amended by striking the items relating to California and inserting the following: ``California: Northern............................. 14 Eastern.............................. 11 Central.............................. 27 Southern............................. 13''. (3) Effective date.--The amendment made by paragraph (2) shall take effect on January 20, 2029. SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS. There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out this Act and the amendments made by this Act, including such sums as may be necessary to provide appropriate space and facilities for the judicial positions created by this Act or an amendment made by this Act. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

(a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, during the 2-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, an immigration officer who determines that an alien who is arriving in the United States at or along the border between the United States and Mexico is inadmissible under section paragraph (6)(C) or (7) of section 212(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)), shall, subject to sections 2 and 3, process the alien for expulsion from the United States without further hearing or review.

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H.R. 3239 Introduced in House (IH)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 3239 To address systemic racism through the arts and humanities in the United States. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 11, 2023 Ms. Lee of California (for herself, Mr. Bowman, Mr. Kim of New Jersey, Ms. Clarke of New York, Ms. Bonamici, Mr. Evans, Ms. Scanlon, and Mr. Takano) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To address systemic racism through the arts and humanities in the United States. 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 ``Advancing Equity Through the Arts and Humanities Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) Access to the arts and cultural programming influences positive social determinants and is integral to healthy communities. (2) In America, the received narrative is that the arts are for entertainment or for artists, but a deeper look shows the profound effect access to the arts has on those most impacted by the justice system, children, veterans, low-income communities, and self-designated non-artists. (3) Concentrated cultural districts are associated with reduced poverty without neighborhood displacement, improved child welfare, and lower morbidity. (4) Low-income neighborhoods with cultural resources have 14 percent fewer cases of child abuse and neglect, and 18 percent less serious crime than low-income neighborhoods without cultural resources. (5) Low-income students who participate in the arts, both in school and after school, have a dropout rate of just 4 percent or 5 times lower than their peers. Children with access to arts programming in schools showed a 22.55 percent improvement in math proficiency, a 12.62 percent improvement in reading, and suspensions were reduced by as much as 89 percent. (6) Seventy-one percent of at-risk students with high arts involvement attend college, whereas only 48 percent of at-risk students with low arts involvement attend college. (7) Participation in after-school arts programs causes juvenile crime to fall by 4.2 percent on average, and slightly more (5.4 percent) in lower-income cities. (8) Arts programming in prisons showed an 89-percent drop in infractions. (9) The cultural economy is significant not only in cities, but also in rural and tribal communities. Forty percent of Native American households on the Pine Ridge Reservation in Kyle, South Dakota, depend on home-based arts enterprises. (10) The arts heal the mental, physical, and moral injuries of war for military servicemembers and veterans, as well as aid in their reintegration into the community. (11) Arts and culture is an $878,000,000,000 industry in the U.S. (nonprofit, commercial, education). The nonprofit arts industry alone generates $166,300,000,000 in annual economic activity spending by organizations and their audience, which supports 4,600,000 jobs and generates $27,500,000,000 in government revenue. (12) The National Endowment for the Arts is the only arts funder in the United States, public or private, that provides access to the arts in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and territories of the United States. (13) Many of the most far-reaching victories for racial healing in the United States have been greatly enhanced by the involvement, support, and dedication of individuals from any and all racial groups. (14) At the same time, much of the progress toward racial healing and racial equity in the United States has been limited or reversed by our failure to address the root cause of racism, the belief in the myth of a hierarchy of human value based on superficial physical characteristics such as skin color and facial features. (15) Limited arts access is linked to economic and racial inequities as well as resource deprivation. (16) Arts organizations serving communities of color are, in general, much less financially secure and far smaller than their counterparts in White communities. The median budgets of the 20 largest arts organizations serving communities of color in a given discipline, such as dance, theater, or music, were more than 90 percent smaller than the budgets of the largest organizations in that discipline. (17) Children of color, who make up the overwhelming percentage of the children living in poverty in the United States, and other students with lower socioeconomic status, have a lower probability of accessing arts education. (18) Access to arts education declined significantly more for Black and Brown students than it did for White children between 1982 and 2008. There was less than a 2 percent decrease for White children, while there was a 49 percent decrease for Black children and a 40 percent decrease for Latin children. (19) The arts are in everyone. Everyone should have access to the arts. (20) Racial and ethnic inequality is a result of systematic and internalized racism and racist public and private policies and practices. Dismantling structural racism through the arts and humanities is critical to the health of our Nation. SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

(6) Hispanic.--The term ``Hispanic'' means an individual whose origin is Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or any other Spanish-speaking country. (7) BIPOC-led.--The term ``BIPOC-led'' means an organization that is founded by or currently has executive leadership made up of BIPOC individuals, but excludes an organization that is predominantly White or serves predominantly White audiences that simply have a BIPOC individual in a token leadership position.
