To impose sanctions with respect to countries, individuals, and
entities that engage in any effort to acquire, possess, develop,
transport, transfer, or deploy Iranian missiles and related goods and
technology, including materials and equipment, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
May 9, 2023
Mr. McCaul (for himself, Mr. Meeks, Mr. Wilson of South Carolina, and
Mr. Phillips) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the
Judiciary, 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 impose sanctions with respect to countries, individuals, and
entities that engage in any effort to acquire, possess, develop,
transport, transfer, or deploy Iranian missiles and related goods and
technology, including materials and equipment, 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 ``Fight and Combat Rampant Iranian
Missile Exports Act'' or the ``Fight CRIME Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Annex B to United Nations Security Council Resolution
2231 (2015) restricts certain missile-related activities and
transfers to and from Iran, including all items, materials,
equipment, goods, and technology set out in the Missile
Technology Control Regime Annex, absent advance, case-by-case
approval from the United Nations Security Council.
(2) Iran has transferred Shahed and Mohajer drones, covered
under the Missile Technology Control Regime Annex, to the
Russian Federation, the Government of Ethiopia, and other Iran-
aligned entities, including the Houthis in Yemen and militia
units in Iraq, without prior authorization from the United
Nations Security Council, in violation of the restrictions set
forth in Annex B to United Nations Security Council Resolution
2231.
(3) Absent action by the United Nations Security Council,
certain missile-related restrictions in Annex B to United
Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 will expire in October
2023, removing international legal restrictions on missile-
related activities and transfers to and from Iran.
SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.
It is the policy of the United States--
(1) to urgently seek the extension of missile-related
restrictions set forth in Annex B to United Nations Security
Council Resolution 2231 (2015);
(2) to use all available authorities to constrain Iran's
domestic ballistic missile production capabilities;
(3) to combat and deter the transfer of conventional and
non-conventional arms, equipment, material, and technology to,
or from Iran, or involving the Government of Iran; and
(4) to ensure countries, individuals, and entities engaged
in, or attempting to engage in, the acquisition, facilitation,
or development of arms and related components and technology
subject to restrictions under Annex B to United Nations
Security Council Resolution 2231 are held to account under
United States and international law, including through the
application and enforcement of sanctions and use of export
controls, regardless of whether the restrictions under Annex B
to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 remain in
effect following their anticipated expiration in October 2023.
SEC. 4. REPORT.
(a) In General.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter for two years, the
Secretary of State, in coordination with the heads of other appropriate
Federal agencies, shall submit to the appropriate congressional
committees an unclassified report, with a classified annex if
necessary, that includes the following:
(1) A diplomatic strategy to secure the renewal of
international restrictions on certain missile-related
activities, including transfers to and from Iran set forth in
Annex B to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231
(2015), prior to October 2023.
(2) An analysis of how the expiration of missile-related
restrictions set forth in Annex B to United Nations Security
Council Resolution 2231 would impact the Government of Iran's
arms proliferation and malign activities, including as the
restrictions relate to cooperation with, and support for, Iran-
aligned entities and allied countries.
(3) An assessment of the revenue, or in-kind benefits, to
be accrued by the Government of Iran, or Iran-aligned entities,
as a result of a lapse in missile-related restrictions set
forth in Annex B to United Nations Security Council Resolution
2231.
(4) A detailed description of a United States strategy to
deter, prevent, and disrupt the sale, purchase, or transfer of
covered technology involving Iran absent restrictions pursuant
to Annex B to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231.
(5) An identification of any foreign person engaging in,
enabling, or otherwise facilitating any activity involving Iran
restricted under Annex B to United Nations Security Council
Resolution 2231, regardless of whether such restrictions remain
in effect after October 2023.
(6) A description of actions by the United Nations and
other multilateral organizations, including the European Union,
to hold accountable foreign persons that have violated the
restrictions set forth in Annex B to United Nations Security
Council Resolution 2231, and efforts to prevent further
violations of such restrictions.
(7) A description of actions by individual member states of
the United Nations Security Council to hold accountable foreign
persons that have violated restrictions set forth in Annex B to
United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 and efforts to
prevent further violations of such restrictions.
(8) A description of actions by the People's Republic of
China, the Russian Federation, or any other country to prevent,
interfere with, or undermine efforts to hold accountable
foreign persons that have violated the restrictions set forth
in Annex B to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231,
including actions to restrict United Nations-led investigations
into suspected violations of such restrictions, or limit
funding to relevant United Nations offices or experts.
(9) An analysis of the foreign and domestic supply chains
in Iran that directly or indirectly facilitate, support, or
otherwise aid the Government of Iran's drone or missile
program, including storage, transportation, or flight-testing
of related goods, technology, or components.
(10) An identification of any foreign person, or network
containing foreign persons, that enables, supports, or
otherwise facilitates the operations or maintenance of any
Iranian airline subject to United States sanctions or export
control restrictions.
(11) An assessment of how the continued operation of
Iranian airlines subject to United States sanctions or export
control restrictions impacts the Government of Iran's ability
to transport or develop arms, including covered technology.
(b) Scope.--The initial report required by subsection (a) shall
address the period beginning on January 1, 2021, and ending on the date
that is 90 days after date of the enactment of this Act, and each

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.

Mrs. Hayes, Mr. Soto, and Mr. Gottheimer) introduced the following
bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and
in addition to the Committee on Agriculture, for a period to be
subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration
of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee
concerned
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To establish requirements for quality and discard dates that are
voluntarily declared on the food label.
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.
In this Act:
(1) Administering secretaries.--The term ``administering
Secretaries'' means--
(A) the Secretary of Agriculture, with respect to
any product that is--
(i) under the jurisdiction of the Secretary
of Agriculture; and
(ii)(I) a poultry product (as defined in
section 4 of the Poultry Products Inspection
Act (21 U.S.C. 453));
(II) a meat food product (as defined in
section 1 of the Federal Meat Inspection Act
(21 U.S.C. 601)); or
(III) an egg product (as defined in section
4 of the Egg Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C.
1033)); and
(B) the Secretary of Health and Human Services,
with respect to any product that is--
(i) under the jurisdiction of the Secretary
of Health and Human Services; and
(ii) a food (as defined in section 201 of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21
U.S.C. 321)).
(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.''.
(b) Poultry Products.--Section 4(h) of the Poultry Products
Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 453(h)) is amended--
(1) in paragraph (11), by striking ``or'' at the end;
(2) in paragraph (12), by striking the period at the end
and inserting ``; or''; and
(3) by adding at the end the following:
``(13) if its labeling is in violation of section 3 of the
Food Date Labeling Act of 2023.''.
(c) Meat Products.--Section 1(n) of the Federal Meat Inspection Act
(21 U.S.C. 601(n)) is amended--
(1) in paragraph (11), by striking ``or'' at the end;
(2) in paragraph (12), by striking the period at the end
and inserting ``; or''; and
(3) by adding at the end the following:
``(13) if its labeling is in violation of section 3 of the
Food Date Labeling Act of 2023.''.
(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.

(1) by redesignating paragraph (7) as paragraph (8); and
(2) by inserting after paragraph (6) the following new
paragraph:
``(7) Creation of clinical trial cost data repository.--
``(A) Generally.--The Secretary, acting through the

Federal website to serve as a repository of cost data
for all applicable drug clinical trials (in this
paragraph referred to as the `cost data repository').
Such repository shall be searchable by the following
criteria:
``(i) The responsible party or sponsor of
the applicable drug clinical trial, or any
entity funding the applicable drug clinical
trial.
``(ii) The name of the intervention,
including any drug being studied in the
applicable drug clinical trial.
``(iii) The study phase of the applicable
drug clinical trial.
``(iv) The start date and completion date
of the applicable drug clinical trial.
``(v) Such other criteria as the Secretary
deems appropriate.
``(B) Cost data defined.--For purposes of this
paragraph, the term `cost data' includes the following
information:
``(i) The total cost of the applicable drug
clinical trial.
``(ii) The cost of the trial per patient.

``(C) Posting of clinical trial cost data.--
``(i) In general.--Except as provided in
clause (iii), each responsible party of an
applicable drug clinical trial shall post cost
data for that trial to the cost data repository
no later than 1 year after the completion date
of the trial.
``(ii) Format and methodology of posting.--
A cost data posting under clause (i) shall--
``(I) include individual data
points for the information required
under subparagraphs (B)(i) and (B)(ii),
separated by year;
``(II) include individual data
points for each category listed under
subparagraph (B)(iii), separated by
year;
``(III) limit the cost of the

or treatment from an unaffiliated third
party;
``(IV) include detailed
documentation and methodology for the
calculation of costs identified under
subparagraph (B)(iii)(VIII); and
``(V) include a signed
certification that the posted data is
complete and accurate.

extensions.--
``(I) Seeking initial approval of
drug, or approval of a new use.--If the
responsible party for an applicable
drug clinical trial submits a
certification that paragraph (3)(E)(iv)
or paragraph (3)(E)(v) applies to such
trial, the responsible party shall post
cost data under clause (i) at the time
that clinical trial information is
required to be submitted under the
applicable paragraph.
``(II) Extension for good cause.--
The Director of NIH may provide an
extension of the deadline for posting
of cost data under clause (i) if the
responsible party for the trial submits
to the Director a written request that
demonstrates good cause for the
extension and provides an estimate of
the date on which the information will
be posted. The Director of NIH may
grant more than one such extension for
a clinical trial, but under no
circumstances shall an extension under
this subclause extend beyond the date
that is 18 months after the completion
date of the trial.
``(III) Extension to establish
necessary infrastructure.--If necessary
to establish the necessary
infrastructure to accept, organize, and
post cost data submitted under clause
(i), the Director of NIH may extend the
deadline for the posting of cost data
under clause (i) to not later than 2
years after the date of enactment of
the Pharmaceutical Research
Transparency Act of 2023.
``(IV) Rule of construction.--This
clause shall not be construed to have
any effect on reporting obligations of
the responsible party under provisions
other than this paragraph.
``(D) Linking to cost data repository.--

the field created under clause (i) a link to
the relevant cost data posting no later than 5
days after initial posting of the cost data
under subparagraph (C)(i).
``(E) Rulemaking.--
``(i) In general.--The Secretary shall
promulgate regulations to carry out this
paragraph that include--
``(I) definitions for each category
of information identified in
subparagraph (B);
``(II) standards for allocating
fixed expenditures across multiple
years of an applicable drug clinical
trial;
``(III) a standard format for the
submission and posting of cost data
under this paragraph;
``(IV) procedures, standards, and
requirements for the reporting
documentation and methodology required
under subparagraph (C)(ii)(IV); and
``(V) any other procedures,
standards, or requirements necessary to
ensure public transparency of cost data
as required by this paragraph.
``(ii) Initial regulations.--The Secretary
shall--
``(I) not later than one year after
the date of enactment of the
Pharmaceutical Research Transparency
Act of 2023, propose initial
regulations under clause (i); and

this paragraph) in an amount not to

value of the property involved; and
``(II) the mortgagor of a mortgage
described in subclause (I) shall not be
required to pay any amount, in cash or
its equivalent, on account of the
property.
``(B) Mortgage insurance premium.--
``(i) Up-front premium.--The Secretary
shall establish and collect an insurance

exceeds 3 percent of the amount of the
original insured principal obligation
of the mortgage; and
``(II) may be adjusted by the

subsection--

enhance wilderness values with the minimal impact
necessary to reasonably accomplish those tasks.

Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(1)) and in accordance with

used by the Secretary for expenses relating to the
administration of this section.''.
SEC. 5. STUDY ON PROTECTION OF FORESTS FROM NONNATIVE PLANT PESTS AND
PATHOGENS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) many Federal agencies have important roles to play in
addressing nonnative plant pests and pathogens in the
stewardship and management of forests by those Federal
agencies;
(2) because of a lack of national policy, nonnative plant
pests and pathogens of forests are a low priority for all
Federal agencies; and
(3) efforts to prevent the introduction and spread of
nonnative plant pests and pathogens, and especially to reduce
the resulting damage and restore tree species to forests, lack
coordination and action.
(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.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Regulation Reduction Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. REPEAL OF REGULATIONS REQUIRED BEFORE ISSUANCE OF A NEW RULE.
(1) Requirement for rule.--An agency may not issue a rule
unless such agency has repealed two or more rules described in
paragraph (4) that, to the extent practicable, are related to
the rule.
(2) Requirement for major rule.--
(A) Repeal required.--An agency may not issue a
major rule unless--
(i) such agency has repealed three or more
rules described in paragraph (4) that, to the
extent practicable, are related to the major
rule; and
(ii) the cost of the new major rule is less
than or equal to the cost of the rules
repealed.
(B) Certified cost.--For any rule issued in
accordance with subparagraph (A), the Administrator of

that the cost of the new major rule is equal to or less
than the cost of the rules repealed.
(3) Publication required.--Any rule repealed under

a State or local government; and
(B) shall not apply to any rule or major rule--
(i) that relates to the internal policy or
practice of an agency or procurement by the
agency; or
(ii) that is being revised to be less

(5) Review of agency rules.--Not later than 90 days after
the date of the enactment of this Act, the head of each agency
shall submit to Congress and the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget a report that includes a review of each
rule of the agency that identifies whether that rule is costly,
ineffective, duplicative, or outdated, including a list of any
other unnecessary regulatory restriction of the agency that is
costly, ineffective, duplicative, or outdated.
(6) Definitions.--In this section:
(A) Agency.--The term ``agency'' has the meaning
given that term in section 551 of title 5, United

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to carry out a pilot
program to improve the ability of veterans to access medical care in
medical facilities of the Department of Veterans Affairs and in the
community by providing the veterans the ability to choose health care
providers.
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 ``Veterans Health Care Freedom Act''.
SEC. 2. PILOT PROGRAM ON ABILITY OF VETERANS TO CHOOSE HEALTH CARE
PROVIDERS.
(a) Pilot Program.--
(1) Requirement.--The Secretary of Veterans Affairs, acting
through the Center for Innovation for Care and Payment, shall
carry out a pilot program to improve the ability of eligible
veterans to access hospital care, medical services, and
extended care services through the covered care system by
providing the eligible veterans the ability to choose health
care providers.
(2) Locations.--The Secretary shall select a minimum of
four Veterans Integrated Service Networks in which to carry out
the pilot program under paragraph (1). In making such
selection, the Secretary shall ensure that the pilot program is
carried out in varied geographic areas that include both rural
and urban locations.
(b) Removal of Certain Requirements To Access Care.--In carrying
out the pilot program under subsection (a), the Secretary shall furnish
hospital care, medical services, and extended care services to eligible
veterans through the covered care system as follows:
(1) At medical facilities of the Department of Veterans
Affairs, regardless of whether the facility is in the same
Veterans Integrated Service Network as the Network in which the
veteran resides.
(2) At non-Department facilities pursuant to, as
appropriate--
(A) section 1703 of title 38, United States Code,
without regard to the requirements specified in
subsection (d) of such section; or
(B) section 1703A of such title, without regard to
the requirements specified in subsection (a)(1)(C) of
such section.
(c) Election of Veteran.--In accordance with subsections (d) and
(e), an eligible veteran participating in the pilot program may elect
to receive hospital care, medical services, and extended care services
at any provider in the covered care system.
(d) Coordination of Care.--
(1) Selection.--Each eligible veteran participating in the
pilot program shall select a primary care provider in the
covered care system. The primary care provider shall--
(A) coordinate with the Secretary and other health
care providers the hospital care, medical services, and
extended care services furnished to the veteran under
the pilot program; and
(B) refer the veteran to specialty care providers
in the covered care system, as clinically necessary.
(2) Systems.--The Secretary shall establish systems as the
Secretary determines appropriate to ensure that a primary care
provider can effectively coordinate the hospital care, medical
services, and extended care services furnished to a veteran
under the pilot program.
(e) Specialty Care.--
(1) Access.--Subject to subsection (d)(1)(B), an eligible
veteran participating in the pilot program may select any
specialty care provider in the covered care system from which
to receive specialty care.
(2) Designation.--The Secretary may designate a specialty
care provider as a primary care provider of an eligible veteran
participating in the pilot program if the Secretary determines
that such designation is in the health interests of the veteran
(such as an endocrinologist with respect to a veteran diagnosed
with diabetes, a neurologist with respect to a veteran
diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, or an obstetrician-
gynecologist with respect to a female veteran).
(f) Mental Health Care.--An eligible veteran participating in the
pilot program may select a mental health care provider in the covered
care system from which to receive mental health care.
(g) Information.--In carrying out the pilot program, the Secretary
shall furnish to eligible veterans the information on eligibility, cost
sharing, treatments, and providers required for veterans to make
informed decisions with respect to--

abatements, in-kind contributions, and Federal tax incentives,
that exceeds 50 percent of the amount of the grant.
``(5) Preference.--In making grants pursuant to this
section, the Secretary shall give preference to eligible public

``(B) the project reflects the results of extensive
community engagement; and
``(C) the project would benefit lower-income,

conjunction with Federal tax-exempt financing.
``(B) Local.--An eligible public entity or
designated public agency receiving a grant under this
subsection may use not more than 25 percent of the
grant amounts to obtain technical assistance from local
qualified service providers regarding combining that
assistance with other financing with--
``(i) other Federal assistance, including
the New Markets Tax Credits program and Low-
Income Housing Tax Credit program under
sections 45D and 42, respectively, of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and
``(ii) other State assistance, tax credits,
and incentives, including tax-increment
financing and other bonding instruments.
``(7) Reports.--
``(A) HUD.--For each fiscal year for which grants
are made under this subsection, the Secretary shall
submit a report to the Congress, not later than 90 days
after the end of such fiscal year, that identifies--
``(i) each project assisted with such grant
amounts;
``(ii) the amount of non-Federal funds
contributed to the project; and
``(iii) how the grant amounts were used.
``(B) GAO.--Not later than 2 years after the date
of enactment of this subsection, the Comptroller
General of the United States shall submit a report to
the Congress analyzing the effectiveness of the program
for grants under this section and making
recommendations to improve future outcomes among
shopping mall redevelopment and revitalization projects
and similar subsidy programs administered in
conjunction with Federal loan guarantees.

A BILL
To amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to require the Secretary of
Energy to create a plan for research, development, and
commercialization projects capable of making significant reductions in
the greenhouse gas emissions or carbon intensity of qualified fuel
production facilities, 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 ``Carbon Limiting Emissions At
Refineries Act'' or the ``CLEAR Act''.
SEC. 2. CARBON EMISSIONS AND INTENSITY REDUCTION TECHNOLOGIES FOR
QUALIFIED FUEL PRODUCTION FACILITIES.
(a) In General.--Subtitle F of title IX of the Energy Policy Act of
2005 (42 U.S.C. 16291 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the
following section:
``SEC. 969E. CARBON EMISSIONS AND INTENSITY REDUCTION FOR QUALIFIED
FUEL PRODUCTION FACILITIES.
``(a) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment
of CLEAR Act, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report that
outlines opportunities for research, development, and commercialization
projects that utilize technologies capable of making significant
reductions in the greenhouse gas emissions or carbon intensity of
qualified fuel production facilities, including a plan for the 5-year
period beginning on the date of the submission of the report for
advancing the readiness level of such technologies, including
technologies for energy use reductions, use of advanced catalysts,
electrification of heat and steam generation, hydrogen firing, low
grade waste heat recovery, membrane separations, and other process
improvements for qualified fuel production facilities, from laboratory
scale to commercial use.
``(b) Program.--Not later than 180 days after the Secretary submits
the report under subsection (a), the Secretary shall, based on such
report, establish a program of research, development, demonstration,
and commercial application of technologies described in subsection (a)
to facilitate the development of--
``(1) promising projects that, with appropriate support,
could produce such technologies that are commercially-feasible;
and
``(2) carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration
technologies for qualified fuel production facilities.
``(c) Demonstration Projects.--
``(1) In general.--In carrying out the program established
under subsection (b), the Secretary may award funds for
commercial-scale demonstration projects for qualified fuel
production facilities that test the scale of a technology
described in subsection (a) necessary for commercial operation,
in accordance with this subsection.
``(2) Engineering and design studies.--In carrying out the
program under subsection (b), the Secretary may award funds for
front-end engineering and design studies in addition to, or in
advance of, issuing an award for a demonstration project under
this subsection.
``(3) Application.--An entity seeking an award to conduct a
demonstration project under this subsection shall submit to the
Secretary an application at such time and in such manner as the
Secretary may require.
``(4) Limitations.--The Secretary shall only provide an
award under this subsection after reviewing each applicant and
application for--
``(A) financial strength;
``(B) construction schedule;
``(C) market risk; and
``(D) contractor history.
``(5) Requirements.--An awardee under this subsection
shall--
``(A) utilize technologies that have completed
pilot-scale testing or the equivalent, as determined by
the Secretary;
``(B) secure and maintain agreements for one or
more technologies described in subsection (a), or
carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration
technologies, at a qualified fuel production facility;
and
``(C) upon completion of a demonstration project,
demonstrate reductions in the greenhouse gas emissions
or carbon intensity of a qualified fuel production
facility.
``(6) Cost sharing.--The Secretary shall require cost
sharing under this subsection in accordance with section 988.
``(d) Applicability.--No technology, or level of emissions
reduction, shall be treated as adequately demonstrated for purposes of
section 111 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7411), achievable for
purposes of section 169 of that Act (42 U.S.C. 7479), or achievable in
practice for purposes of section 171 of that Act (42 U.S.C. 7501)
solely by reason of the identification of such technology in the report
submitted under subsection (a) or under the program established under
subsection (b).
``(e) Qualified Fuel Production Facility Defined.--In this section,
the term `qualified fuel production facility' means--
``(1) a petroleum refinery or any connected facility; or
``(2) a facility that manufactures commercial amounts of a
drop-in fuel (as defined in section 2922h(c)(1) of title 10,
United States Code).
``(f) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized to be
appropriated to carry out this section $200,000,000 for fiscal year
2024 and each fiscal year thereafter.''.

(B) Audits.--Beginning in the first fiscal year

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To authorize the Secretary of Education to award grants to eligible
entities to carry out educational programs that include the history of
peoples of Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander descent in the
settling and founding of America, the social, economic, and political
environments that led to the development of discriminatory laws
targeting Asians, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders and their
relation to current events, and the impact and contributions of Asian
Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders to the development
and enhancement of American life, United States history, literature,
the economy, politics, body of laws, and culture, 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 ``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.

A BILL
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to make mandatory 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 ``Legal Workforce Act''.
SEC. 2. EMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION PROCESS.
(a) In General.--Section 274A(b) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act (8 U.S.C. 1324a(b)) is amended to read as follows:
``(b) Employment Eligibility Verification Process.--
``(1) New hires, recruitment, and referral.--The
requirements referred to in paragraphs (1)(B) and (3) of
subsection (a) are, in the case of a person or other entity
hiring, recruiting, or referring an individual for employment
in the United States, the following:
``(A) Attestation after examination of
documentation.--
``(i) Attestation.--During the verification
period (as defined in subparagraph (E)), the
person or entity shall attest, under penalty of
perjury and on a form, including electronic and
telephonic formats, designated or established
by the Secretary by regulation not later than 6
months after the date of the enactment of the
Legal Workforce Act, that it has verified that
the individual is not an unauthorized alien
by--
``(I) obtaining from the individual
the individual's social security
account number or United States
passport number and recording the
number on the form (if the individual
claims to have been issued such a
number), and, if the individual does
not attest to United States nationality
under subparagraph (B), obtaining such
identification or authorization number
established by the Department of
Homeland Security for the alien as the
Secretary of Homeland Security may
specify, and recording such number on
the form; and
``(II) examining--
``(aa) a document relating
to the individual presenting it
described in clause (ii); or
``(bb) a document relating
to the individual presenting it
described in clause (iii) and a
document relating to the
individual presenting it
described in clause (iv).
``(ii) Documents evidencing employment
authorization and establishing identity.--A
document described in this subparagraph is an
individual's--
``(I) unexpired United States
passport or passport card;
``(II) unexpired permanent resident
card that contains a photograph;
``(III) unexpired employment
authorization card that contains a
photograph;
``(IV) in the case of a
nonimmigrant alien authorized to work
for a specific employer incident to
status, a foreign passport with Form I-
94 or Form I-94A, or other
documentation as designated by the
Secretary specifying the alien's
nonimmigrant status as long as the
period of status has not yet expired
and the proposed employment is not in
conflict with any restrictions or
limitations identified in the
documentation;
``(V) passport from the Federated
States of Micronesia (FSM) or the
Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI)
with Form I-94 or Form I-94A, or other
documentation as designated by the
Secretary, indicating nonimmigrant
admission under the Compact of Free
Association Between the United States
and the FSM or RMI; or
``(VI) other document designated by
the Secretary of Homeland Security, if
the document--
``(aa) contains a
photograph of the individual
and biometric identification
data from the individual and
such other personal identifying
information relating to the
individual as the Secretary of
Homeland Security finds, by
regulation, sufficient for
purposes of this clause;
``(bb) is evidence of
authorization of employment in
the United States; and
``(cc) contains security
features to make it resistant
to tampering, counterfeiting,
and fraudulent use.
``(iii) Documents evidencing employment
authorization.--A document described in this
subparagraph is an individual's social security
account number card (other than such a card
which specifies on the face that the issuance
of the card does not authorize employment in
the United States).
``(iv) Documents establishing identity of
individual.--A document described in this
subparagraph is--
``(I) an individual's unexpired
State issued driver's license or
identification card if it contains a
photograph and information such as
name, date of birth, gender, height,
eye color, and address;
``(II) an individual's unexpired
U.S. military identification card;
``(III) an individual's unexpired
Native American tribal identification
document issued by a tribal entity
recognized by the Bureau of Indian
Affairs; or
``(IV) in the case of an individual
under 18 years of age, a parent or
legal guardian's attestation under
penalty of law as to the identity and
age of the individual.
``(v) Authority to prohibit use of certain
documents.--If the Secretary of Homeland
Security finds, by regulation, that any
document described in clause (i), (ii), or
(iii) as establishing employment authorization
or identity does not reliably establish such
authorization or identity or is being used
fraudulently to an unacceptable degree, the
Secretary may prohibit or place conditions on
its use for purposes of this paragraph.
``(vi) Signature.--Such attestation may be
manifested by either a handwritten or
electronic signature.
``(B) Individual attestation of employment
authorization.--During the verification period (as
defined in subparagraph (E)), the individual shall
attest, under penalty of perjury on the form designated
or established for purposes of subparagraph (A), that
the individual is a citizen or national of the United
States, an alien lawfully admitted for permanent
residence, or an alien who is authorized under this Act
or by the Secretary of Homeland Security to be hired,
recruited, or referred for such employment. Such
attestation may be manifested by either a handwritten
or electronic signature. The individual shall also
provide that individual's social security account
number or United States passport number (if the
individual claims to have been issued such a number),
and, if the individual does not attest to United States
nationality under this subparagraph, such
identification or authorization number established by
the Department of Homeland Security for the alien as
the Secretary may specify.
``(C) Retention of verification form and
verification.--
``(i) In general.--After completion of such
form in accordance with subparagraphs (A) and
(B), the person or entity shall--
``(I) retain a paper, microfiche,
microfilm, or electronic version of the
form and make it available for
inspection by officers of the
Department of Homeland Security, the
Department of Justice, or the
Department of Labor during a period
beginning on the date of the recruiting
or referral of the individual, or, in
the case of the hiring of an
individual, the date on which the
verification is completed, and ending--
``(aa) in the case of the
recruiting or referral of an
individual, 3 years after the
date of the recruiting or
referral; and
``(bb) in the case of the
hiring of an individual, the
later of 3 years after the date
the verification is completed
or one year after the date the
individual's employment is
terminated; and
``(II) during the verification
period (as defined in subparagraph
(E)), make an inquiry, as provided in
subsection (d), using the verification
system to seek verification of the
identity and employment eligibility of
an individual.
``(ii) Confirmation.--
``(I) Confirmation received.--If
the person or other entity receives an
appropriate confirmation of an
individual's identity and work
eligibility under the verification
system within the time period
specified, the person or entity shall
record on the form an appropriate code
that is provided under the system and
that indicates a final confirmation of
such identity and work eligibility of
the individual.
``(II) Tentative nonconfirmation
received.--If the person or other
entity receives a tentative
nonconfirmation of an individual's
identity or work eligibility under the
verification system within the time
period specified, the person or entity
shall so inform the individual for whom
the verification is sought. 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. In no case shall an
employer terminate employment of an
individual because of a failure of the
individual to have identity and work
eligibility confirmed under this
section until a nonconfirmation becomes
final. Nothing in this clause shall
apply to a termination of employment
for any reason other than because of
such a failure. In no case shall an
employer rescind the offer of
employment to an individual because of
a failure of the individual to have
identity and work eligibility confirmed
under this subsection until a
nonconfirmation becomes final. Nothing
in this subclause shall apply to a
recission of the offer of employment
for any reason other than because of
such a failure.
``(III) Final confirmation or
nonconfirmation received.--If a final
confirmation or nonconfirmation is
provided by the verification system
regarding an individual, the person or
entity shall record on the form an
appropriate code that is provided under
the system and that indicates a
confirmation or nonconfirmation of
identity and work eligibility of the
individual.
``(IV) Extension of time.--If the
person or other entity in good faith
attempts to make an inquiry during the
time period specified and the
verification system has registered that
not all inquiries were received during
such time, the person or entity may
make an inquiry in the first subsequent
working day in which the verification
system registers that it has received
all inquiries. 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). If the person or
entity does not terminate
employment of the individual or
proceeds to recruit or refer
the individual, the person or
entity shall notify the
Secretary of Homeland Security
of such fact through the
verification system or in such
other manner as the Secretary
may specify.
``(bb) Failure to notify.--
If the person or entity fails
to provide notice with respect
to an individual as required
under item (aa), the failure is
deemed to constitute a
violation of subsection
(a)(1)(A) with respect to that
individual.
``(VI) Continued employment after
final nonconfirmation.--If the person
or other entity continues to employ (or
to recruit or refer) an individual
after receiving final nonconfirmation,
a rebuttable presumption is created
that the person or entity has violated
subsection (a)(1)(A).
``(D) Effective dates of new procedures.--
``(i) Hiring.--Except as provided in clause
(iii), the provisions of this paragraph shall
apply to a person or other entity hiring an
individual for employment in the United States
as follows:
``(I) With respect to employers
having 10,000 or more employees in the
United States on the date of the
enactment of the Legal Workforce Act,
on the date that is 6 months after the
date of the enactment of such Act.
``(II) With respect to employers
having 500 or more employees in the
United States, but less than 10,000

of such Act.

of such Act.
``(ii) Recruiting and referring.--Except as
provided in clause (iii), the provisions of
this paragraph shall apply to a person or other
entity recruiting or referring an individual
for employment in the United States on the date
that is 12 months after the date of the
enactment of the Legal Workforce Act.
``(iii) Agricultural labor or services.--
With respect to an employee performing
agricultural labor or services, this paragraph
shall not apply with respect to the
verification of the employee until the date
that is 30 months after the date of the
enactment of the Legal Workforce Act. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the term
`agricultural labor or services' has the
meaning given such term by the Secretary of
Agriculture in regulations and includes
agricultural labor as defined in section

agricultural or horticultural commodity in its
unmanufactured state, all activities required
for the preparation, processing or
manufacturing of a product of agriculture (as
such term is defined in such section 3(f)) for
further distribution, and activities similar to
all the foregoing as they relate to fish or
shellfish facilities. An employee described in
this clause shall not be counted for purposes
of clause (i).
``(iv) Extensions.--Upon request by an
employer having 50 or fewer employees, the
Secretary shall allow a one-time 6-month
extension of the effective date set out in this
subparagraph applicable to such employer. Such
request shall be made to the Secretary and
shall be made prior to such effective date.
``(v) Transition rule.--Subject to
paragraph (4), the following shall apply to a
person or other entity hiring, recruiting, or
referring an individual for employment in the
United States until the effective date or dates
applicable under clauses (i) through (iii):
``(I) This subsection, as in effect
before the enactment of the Legal
Workforce Act.
``(II) Subtitle A of title IV of
the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8
U.S.C. 1324a note), as in effect before

term `verification period' means the
period beginning on the date on which
an offer of employment is extended and
ending on the date that is three
business days after the date of hire,
except as provided in clause (iii). The
offer of employment may be conditioned
in accordance with clause (ii).
``(ii) Job offer may be conditional.--A
person or other entity may offer a prospective
employee an employment position that is
conditioned on final verification of the
identity and employment eligibility of the
employee using the procedures established under
this paragraph.
``(iii) Special rule.--Notwithstanding
clause (i)(II), in the case of an alien who is
authorized for employment and who provides
evidence from the Social Security
Administration that the alien has applied for a
social security account number, the
verification period ends three business days
after the alien receives the social security
account number.
``(2) Reverification for individuals with limited work
authorization.--
``(A) In general.--Except as provided in
subparagraph (B), a person or entity shall make an
inquiry, as provided in subsection (d), using the

``(B) Agricultural labor or services.--With respect
to an employee performing agricultural labor or
services, or an employee recruited or referred by a
farm labor contractor (as defined in section 3 of the
Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act
(29 U.S.C. 1801)), subparagraph (A) shall not apply
with respect to the reverification of the employee
until the date that is 30 months after the date of the
enactment of the Legal Workforce Act. For purposes of
the preceding sentence, the term `agricultural labor or
services' has the meaning given such term by the
Secretary of Agriculture in regulations and includes
agricultural labor as defined in section 3121(g) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, agriculture as defined

3(f)) for further distribution, and activities similar
to all the foregoing as they relate to fish or
shellfish facilities. An employee described in this
subparagraph shall not be counted for purposes of
subparagraph (A).

Federal, State, or local government
building, a military base, a nuclear
energy site, a weapons site, or an
airport or other facility that requires
workers to carry a Transportation
Worker Identification Credential
(TWIC).
``(III) An employee assigned to
perform work in the United States under
a Federal contract, except that this
subclause--
``(aa) is not applicable to
individuals who have a
clearance under Homeland
Security Presidential Directive
12 (HSPD 12 clearance), are

same social security account number.--In the case of an
employer who is required by this subsection to use the

the following:
``(i) The Commissioner of Social Security
shall notify annually employees (at the
employee address listed on the Wage and Tax
Statement) who submit a social security account
number to which more than one employer reports
income and for which there is a pattern of
unusual multiple use. The notification letter
shall identify the number of employers to which
income is being reported as well as sufficient
information notifying the employee of the
process to contact the Social Security
Administration Fraud Hotline if the employee
believes the employee's identity may have been
stolen. The notice shall not share information
protected as private, in order to avoid any
recipient of the notice from being in the
position to further commit or begin committing
identity theft.
``(ii) If the person to whom the social
security account number was issued by the
Social Security Administration has been
identified and confirmed by the Commissioner,
and indicates that the social security account
number was used without their knowledge, the
Secretary and the Commissioner shall lock the
social security account number for employment
eligibility verification purposes and shall
notify the employers of the individuals who
wrongfully submitted the social security
account number that the employee may not be
work eligible.
``(iii) Each employer receiving such
notification of an incorrect social security
account number under clause (ii) shall use the
verification system described in subsection (d)
to check the work eligibility status of the
applicable employee within 10 business days of
receipt of the notification.
``(C) On a voluntary basis.--Subject to paragraph
(2), and subparagraphs (A) through (C) of this
paragraph, beginning on the date that is 30 days after
the date of the enactment of the Legal Workforce Act,
an employer may make an inquiry, as provided in
subsection (d), using the verification system to seek
verification of the identity and employment eligibility
of any individual employed by the employer. If an
employer chooses voluntarily to seek verification of
any individual employed by the employer, the employer
shall seek verification of all individuals employed at
the same geographic location or, at the option of the
employer, all individuals employed within the same job
category, as the employee with respect to whom the
employer seeks voluntarily to use the verification
system. An employer's decision about whether or not
voluntarily to seek verification of its current
workforce under this subparagraph may not be considered
by any government agency in any proceeding,
investigation, or review provided for in this Act.
``(D) Verification.--Paragraph (1)(C)(ii) shall
apply to verifications pursuant to this paragraph on
the same basis as it applies to verifications pursuant
to paragraph (1), except that employers shall--
``(i) use a form designated or established
by the Secretary by regulation for purposes of
this paragraph; and
``(ii) retain a paper, microfiche,
microfilm, or electronic version of the form
and make it available for inspection by
officers of the Department of Homeland
Security, the Department of Justice, or the

section 403(a) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1324a

additional requirements of such Federal acquisition
laws and regulation) in lieu of any requirement to
participate in the E-Verify Program.

have complied with a requirement of this subsection
notwithstanding a technical or procedural failure to
meet such requirement if there was a good faith attempt
to comply with the requirement.

certified to the Congress that the employment eligibility
verification system required under subsection (d) will not be

``(1) In general.--Patterned on the employment eligibility
confirmation system established under section 404 of the
Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of
1996 (8 U.S.C. 1324a note), the Secretary of Homeland Security
shall establish and administer a verification system through
which the Secretary (or a designee of the Secretary, which may
be a nongovernmental entity)--
``(A) responds to inquiries made by persons at any
time through a toll-free telephone line and other toll-
free electronic media concerning an individual's
identity and whether the individual is authorized to be
employed; and
``(B) maintains records of the inquiries that were
made, of verifications provided (or not provided), and
of the codes provided to inquirers as evidence of their
compliance with their obligations under this section.
``(2) Initial response.--The verification system shall
provide confirmation or a tentative nonconfirmation of an
individual's identity and employment eligibility within 3
working days of the initial inquiry. If providing confirmation
or tentative nonconfirmation, the verification system shall
provide an appropriate code indicating such confirmation or
such nonconfirmation.
``(3) Secondary confirmation process in case of tentative
nonconfirmation.--In cases of tentative nonconfirmation, the
Secretary shall specify, in consultation with the Commissioner
of Social Security, an available secondary verification process
to confirm the validity of information provided and to provide
a final confirmation or nonconfirmation not later than 10
working days after the date on which the notice of the
tentative nonconfirmation is received by the employee. The
Secretary, in consultation with the Commissioner, may extend
this deadline once on a case-by-case basis for a period of 10
working days, and if the time is extended, shall document such
extension within the verification system. The Secretary, in
consultation with the Commissioner, shall notify the employee
and employer of such extension. The Secretary, in consultation
with the Commissioner, shall create a standard process of such
extension and notification and shall make a description of such
process available to the public. When final confirmation or
nonconfirmation is provided, the verification system shall
provide an appropriate code indicating such confirmation or
nonconfirmation.
``(4) Design and operation of system.--The verification
system shall be designed and operated--
``(A) to maximize its reliability and ease of use
by persons and other entities consistent with
insulating and protecting the privacy and security of
the underlying information;
``(B) to respond to all inquiries made by such
persons and entities on whether individuals are
authorized to be employed and to register all times
when such inquiries are not received;
``(C) with appropriate administrative, technical,
and physical safeguards to prevent unauthorized
disclosure of personal information;
``(D) to have reasonable safeguards against the
system's resulting in unlawful discriminatory practices
based on national origin or citizenship status,
including--
``(i) the selective or unauthorized use of
the system to verify eligibility; or
``(ii) the exclusion of certain individuals
from consideration for employment as a result
of a perceived likelihood that additional
verification will be required, beyond what is
required for most job applicants;
``(E) to maximize the prevention of identity theft
use in the system; and
``(F) to limit the subjects of verification to the
following individuals:
``(i) Individuals hired, referred, or
recruited, in accordance with paragraph (1) or
(4) of subsection (b).

in accordance with paragraph (1), (2), (3), or
(4) of subsection (b).

their own employment eligibility on a voluntary
basis.
``(5) Responsibilities of commissioner of social
security.--As part of the verification system, the Commissioner
of Social Security, in consultation with the Secretary of
Homeland Security (and any designee of the Secretary selected
to establish and administer the verification system), shall
establish a reliable, secure method, which, within the time
periods specified under paragraphs (2) and (3), compares the
name and social security account number provided in an inquiry
against such information maintained by the Commissioner in
order to validate (or not validate) the information provided
regarding an individual whose identity and employment
eligibility must be confirmed, the correspondence of the name
and number, and whether the individual has presented a social
security account number that is not valid for employment. The
Commissioner shall not disclose or release social security
information (other than such confirmation or nonconfirmation)
under the verification system except as provided for in this
section or section 205(c)(2)(I) of the Social Security Act.
``(6) Responsibilities of secretary of homeland security.--
As part of the verification system, the Secretary of Homeland
Security (in consultation with any designee of the Secretary
selected to establish and administer the verification system),
shall establish a reliable, secure method, which, within the
time periods specified under paragraphs (2) and (3), compares
the name and alien identification or authorization number (or
any other information as determined relevant by the Secretary)
which are provided in an inquiry against such information
maintained or accessed by the Secretary in order to validate
(or not validate) the information provided, the correspondence
of the name and number, whether the alien is authorized to be
employed in the United States, or to the extent that the
Secretary determines to be feasible and appropriate, whether
the records available to the Secretary verify the identity or
status of a national of the United States.
``(7) Updating information.--The Commissioner of Social
Security and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall update
their information in a manner that promotes the maximum
accuracy and shall provide a process for the prompt correction
of erroneous information, including instances in which it is
brought to their attention in the secondary verification
process described in paragraph (3).
``(8) Limitation on use of the verification system and any
related systems.--
``(A) No national identification card.--Nothing in
this section shall be construed to authorize, directly
or indirectly, the issuance or use of national
identification cards or the establishment of a national
identification card.
``(B) Critical infrastructure.--The Secretary may
authorize or direct any person or entity responsible
for granting access to, protecting, securing,
operating, administering, or regulating part of the
critical infrastructure (as defined in section 1016(e)

(42 U.S.C. 5195c(e))) to use the verification system to
the extent the Secretary determines that such use will
assist in the protection of the critical
infrastructure.
``(9) Remedies.--If an individual alleges that the
individual would not have been dismissed from a job but for an
error of the verification mechanism, the individual may seek
compensation only through the mechanism of the Federal Tort
Claims Act, and injunctive relief to correct such error. No
class action may be brought under this paragraph.''.

cost, may enforce the provisions of this
section, but only insofar as such State follows
the Federal regulations implementing this
section, applies the Federal penalty structure
set out in this section, and complies with all
Federal rules and guidance concerning
implementation of this section. Such State may
collect any fines assessed under this section.
An employer may not be subject to enforcement,
including audit and investigation, by both a
Federal agency and a State for the same
violation under this section. Whichever entity,
the Federal agency or the State, is first to
initiate the enforcement action, has the right
of first refusal to proceed with the
enforcement action. The Secretary must provide

instructions provided to Federal officials
implementing the provisions of this section to

responsibilities; and
(B) responding to individuals who contest a
tentative nonconfirmation provided by the employment
eligibility verification system established under such
section;
(2) provide such funds annually in advance of the
applicable quarter based on estimating methodology agreed to by
the Commissioner and the Secretary (except in such instances
where the delayed enactment of an annual appropriation may
preclude such quarterly payments); and
(3) require an annual accounting and reconciliation of the
actual costs incurred and the funds provided under the
agreement, which shall be reviewed by the Inspectors General of
the Social Security Administration and the Department of
Homeland Security.
(b) Continuation of Employment Verification in Absence of Timely
Agreement.--In any case in which the agreement required under
subsection (a) for any fiscal year beginning on or after October 1,
2023, has not been reached as of October 1 of such fiscal year, the
latest agreement between the Commissioner and the Secretary of Homeland
Security providing for funding to cover the costs of the
responsibilities of the Commissioner under section 274A(d) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1324a(d)) shall be deemed in
effect on an interim basis for such fiscal year until such time as an
agreement required under subsection (a) is subsequently reached, except
that the terms of such interim agreement shall be modified by the
Director of the Office of Management and Budget to adjust for inflation
and any increase or decrease in the volume of requests under the
employment eligibility verification system. In any case in which an
interim agreement applies for any fiscal year under this subsection,
the Commissioner and the Secretary shall, not later than October 1 of
such fiscal year, notify the Committee on Ways and Means, the Committee
on the Judiciary, and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of
Representatives and the Committee on Finance, the Committee on the
Judiciary, and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate of the
failure to reach the agreement required under subsection (a) for such
fiscal year. Until such time as the agreement required under subsection
(a) has been reached for such fiscal year, the Commissioner and the
Secretary shall, not later than the end of each 90-day period after
October 1 of such fiscal year, notify such Committees of the status of
negotiations between the Commissioner and the Secretary in order to
reach such an agreement.
SEC. 11. FRAUD PREVENTION.
(a) Blocking Misused Social Security Account Numbers.--The
Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Commissioner
of Social Security, shall establish a program in which social security
account numbers that have been identified to be subject to unusual
multiple use in the employment eligibility verification system
established under section 274A(d) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act (8 U.S.C. 1324a(d)), as amended by section 3 of this Act, or that
are otherwise suspected or determined to have been compromised by
identity fraud or other misuse, shall be blocked from use for such
system purposes unless the individual using such number is able to
establish, through secure and fair additional security procedures, that
the individual is the legitimate holder of the number.
(b) Allowing Suspension of Use of Certain Social Security Account
Numbers.--The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the
Commissioner of Social Security, shall establish a program which shall
provide a reliable, secure method by which victims of identity fraud
and other individuals may suspend or limit the use of their social
security account number or other identifying information for purposes
of the employment eligibility verification system established under
section 274A(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1324a(d)), as amended by section 3 of this Act. The Secretary may
implement the program on a limited pilot program basis before making it
fully available to all individuals.
(c) Allowing Parents To Prevent Theft of Their Child's Identity.--
The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the
Commissioner of Social Security, shall establish a program which shall
provide a reliable, secure method by which parents or legal guardians
may suspend or limit the use of the social security account number or
other identifying information of a minor under their care for the
purposes of the employment eligibility verification system established
under 274A(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1324a(d)), as amended by section 3 of this Act. The Secretary may
implement the program on a limited pilot program basis before making it
fully available to all individuals.
SEC. 12. USE OF EMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION PHOTO TOOL.
An employer who uses the photo matching tool used as part of the E-
Verify System shall match the photo tool photograph to both the
photograph on the identity or employment eligibility document provided
by the employee and to the face of the employee submitting the document
for employment verification purposes.
SEC. 13. IDENTITY AUTHENTICATION EMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION
PILOT PROGRAMS.
Not later than 24 months after the date of the enactment of this
Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security, after consultation with the
Commissioner of Social Security and the Director of the National
Institute of Standards and Technology, shall establish by regulation
not less than 2 Identity Authentication Employment Eligibility
Verification pilot programs, each using a separate and distinct
technology (the ``Authentication Pilots''). The purpose of the
Authentication Pilots shall be to provide for identity authentication
and employment eligibility verification with respect to enrolled new
employees which shall be available to any employer that elects to
participate in either of the Authentication Pilots. Any participating
employer may cancel the employer's participation in the Authentication
Pilot after one year after electing to participate without prejudice to
future participation. The Secretary shall report to the Committee on
the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and the Committee on the
Judiciary of the Senate the Secretary's findings on the Authentication
Pilots, including the authentication technologies chosen, not later
than 12 months after commencement of the Authentication Pilots.
SEC. 14. INSPECTOR GENERAL AUDITS.
(a) In General.--Not later than 1 year after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Inspector General of the Social Security
Administration shall complete audits of the following categories in
order to uncover evidence of individuals who are not authorized to work
in the United States:
(1) Workers who dispute wages reported on their social
security account number when they believe someone else has used
such number and name to report wages.
(2) Children's social security account numbers used for
work purposes.
(3) Employers whose workers present significant numbers of
mismatched social security account numbers or names for wage
reporting.
(b) Submission.--The Inspector General of the Social Security
Administration shall submit the audits completed under subsection (a)
to the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives and
the Committee on Finance of the Senate for review of the evidence of
individuals who are not authorized to work in the United States. The
Chairmen of those Committees shall then determine information to be
shared with the Secretary of Homeland Security so that such Secretary
can investigate the unauthorized employment demonstrated by such
evidence.

H. R. 3197
To make demonstration grants to eligible local educational agencies or

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.

known as the ``Syria Trust for Development'' meets the
criteria for the imposition of sanctions under section

2019, as amended by subsection (a); and

(B) the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee
on Foreign Relations and the Committee on Banking,
Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate.
(d) Findings on Applicability With Respect to Syrian Arab Airlines,
Cham Wings Airlines, and Related Entities.--Congress finds the
following:
(1) In 2013, the President identified Syrian Arab Airlines
as a blocked instrumentality or controlled entity of the
Government of Syria and concurrently sanctioned Syrian Arab
Airlines pursuant to Executive Order 13224 for acting for or on
behalf of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force of
Iran.
(2) In 2016, the President sanctioned Syria-based Cham
Wings Airlines pursuant to Executive Order 13582 for having
materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial,
material, or technological support for, or goods or services in
support of, the Government of Syria and Syrian Arab Airlines.
(3) Section 7412(a)(2)(A)(iii) of the Caesar Syria Civilian
Protection Act of 2019 (22 U.S.C. 8791 note) mandates the
application of sanctions against any foreign person that
``knowingly provides significant financial, material, or
technological support to, or knowingly engages in a significant
transaction with . . . a foreign person subject to sanctions
pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) with respect to Syria or any other
provision of law that imposes sanctions with respect to
Syria,'', which applies to airport service providers outside of
Syria.
(e) Severability.--If any provision of this Act, or the application
of such provision to any person or circumstance, is found to be
unconstitutional, the remainder of this Act, or the application of that
provision to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION OF RECOGNITION OF ASSAD REGIME.
(a) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
(1) not to recognize or normalize relations with any
Government of Syria that is led by Bashar al-Assad due to the
Assad regime's ongoing crimes against the Syrian people,
including failure to meet the criteria outlined in section
7431(a) of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019;
(2) to actively oppose recognition or normalization of
relations by other governments with any Government of Syria
that is led by Bashar Al-Assad, including by fully implementing
the mandatory primary and secondary sanctions in the Caesar
Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019 and Executive Order
13894; and
(3) to use the full range of authorities, including those
provided under the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019
and Executive Order 13894, to deter reconstruction activities
in areas under the control of Bashar al-Assad.
(b) Prohibition.--In accordance with subsection (a), no Federal
official or employee may take any action, and no Federal funds may be
made available, to recognize or otherwise imply, in any manner, United
States recognition of Bashar al-Assad or any Government in Syria that
is led by Bashar al-Assad.

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.
(a) In General.--Not later than one year after the date of
enactment of this section, from the amounts appropriated to carry out
this section, the Secretary of Labor shall award grants, on a
competitive basis, to eligible entities to carry out immersive
technology education and workforce training programs or career pathways
that use immersive technology.
(b) Use of Funds.--An eligible entity receiving a grant under this
section shall use such grant for at least one of the following:
(1) To develop and implement or improve an immersive
technology education and workforce training program, or a
related policy, program, or other activity that uses immersive
technology that--
(A) facilitates the transfer of academic credits
(including for courses in the same field or program of
study) between covered community colleges and other
institutions of higher education, including other
covered community colleges; and
(B) develops or enhances supportive services for
students enrolled in such a program or activity.
(2) The creation or alignment of a career pathway that
provides a sequence of education and occupational training that
leads to a recognized postsecondary credential, including a
program or activity that--
(A)(i) includes integrated education and training
that uses immersive technology; and
(ii) is designed to increase the provision of
workforce training for students (including individuals
who are members of the Armed Forces and veterans) in
order to facilitate the entry of such students into in-
demand industry sectors or occupations; or
(B) enables the training of instructors in the use
of immersive technology in education and workforce
training programs.
(3)(A) To develop and implement, in consultation with one
or more of the entities described in subparagraph (B), an
immersive technology education and training program, which--

paragraphs (17) through (24), respectively; and
(2) by inserting after paragraph (15) the following new
paragraph:
``(16) Local educational agency located in a rural area.--
The term `local educational agency located in a rural area'

application process for grants, loans, and loan guarantees
under this section that--
``(A) reduces the amount of data required to apply
by limiting the required data to only--
``(i) the entity applying, excluding any

to the application, to the greatest extent
practicable; and
``(ii) the geographic area affected by the
application, if a parent or affiliate is not a

grant under this section without regard to, or
preference for, the legal structure of an

be the least burdensome; and
``(II) subject to clause (v), are
not limited to providing the Federal
Government an exclusive first lien on
all grant-funded assets during the
service obligation of the grant;
``(iv) subject to clause (v), in
determining the required collateral to secure
grant funds or to secure performance during the
service obligation of a grant, shall allow an
awardee to offer alternative security, such as
a letter of credit, in lieu of providing the
Federal Government an exclusive first lien on
all grant-funded assets; and
``(v) if the Secretary reasonably
determines that alternative methods or
alternative security established under clause
(iii)(II) or (iv) are insufficient to secure
performance with respect to a project under
this section--
``(I) may require an entity to
provide the Federal Government an
exclusive first lien all grant-funded
assets during the service obligation of
the grant; and
``(II) shall release that lien

entity is performing to the
satisfaction of the Secretary.''; and

access to internet connections in
individual locations; and
``(II) offers an advanced
telecommunications capability (as
defined in section 706(d) of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (47
U.S.C. 1302(d))).
``(ii) Other providers.--The Secretary
shall consider a proposed service territory
with respect to which an eligible entity
submits an application to carry out a project
under this section to be served by broadband
service if a broadband service provider other
than that eligible entity is subject to an
obligation by a Federal, State, or local
government entity to build broadband
infrastructure and offer broadband service in
that service territory, subject to conditions--
``(I) under a Federal, State, or
local funding award program; or
``(II) otherwise required by the
Federal, State, or local government
entity.
``(iii) Other funding.--Subject to clause
(iv), the Secretary shall not be required to
consider a proposed service territory with
respect to which an eligible entity submits an
application to carry out a project under this
section to be served by broadband service if
that eligible entity has accepted an obligation
under a Federal, State, or local funding award
program to build broadband infrastructure and
offer broadband service in that service
territory, if the proposed project under this
section--
``(I) would not be duplicative of
the obligation under the other award
program; and
``(II) would build broadband
infrastructure that results in faster
speeds or expedited milestones of
deployment of broadband infrastructure
in that service territory, as compared
to the obligation under the other award
program.
``(iv) Other obligations for lower
transmission capacity.--The Secretary shall
consider a proposed service territory with
respect to which an eligible entity submits an
application to carry out a project under this
section to be unserved by broadband service if
an obligation under another award program
described in clause (iii) would not provide
broadband service of at least--
``(I) a 25-Mbps downstream
transmission capacity; and
``(II) a 3-Mbps upstream
transmission capacity.
``(E) Requirements for funding.--
``(i) Affiliate owned and operated
networks.--A grant, loan, or loan guarantee
under this section may be used to construct
networks that will be owned and operated by an
affiliate of the eligible entity receiving the
grant, loan, or loan guarantee, subject to the
condition that the eligible entity, the
affiliate, or both, as the Secretary determines
to be necessary, shall provide adequate
security for the grant, loan, or loan
guarantee.
``(ii) Negative covenants and conditions.--
To the greatest extent practicable, a project
carried out using a grant, loan, or loan
guarantee under this section shall not add any
new negative covenants or conditions to the
grant, loan, or loan guarantee agreement that
were not previously disclosed to the eligible
entity at the time of application for the
grant, loan, or loan guarantee.
``(iii) Ownership of systems.--
``(I) In general.--A network
constructed with a grant, loan, or loan
guarantee under this section may be
transferred to an unaffiliated provider
that agrees--
``(aa) to assume the
service obligation; and
``(bb) to provide
appropriate and sufficient
security for that network.
``(II) Determination.--The
Secretary shall not unreasonably
withhold consent to enter into an
appropriate agreement described in
subclause (I) with the transferee based
on an evaluation by the Secretary of
the ability of the transferee to assume
the agreement and provide security
described in item (bb) of that
subclause.
``(iv) Reporting and auditing.--The
Secretary shall--
``(I) simplify, to the maximum
extent practicable, ongoing reporting
and auditing requirements for
recipients of a grant, loan, or loan
guarantee under this section; and
``(II) allow a recipient described
in subclause (I) whose financial
information is consolidated with the
financial information of a parent
entity to rely on that consolidated
financial information in complying with
the requirements described in that
subclause if the parent entity is
providing a guarantee on behalf of a
subsidiary of the parent entity with
respect to the grant, loan, or loan
guarantee.
``(v) Procurement and contracting.--The
Secretary--
``(I) shall simplify, to the
maximum extent practicable,
requirements for recipients of a grant,
loan, or loan guarantee under this
section relating to the procurement of
materials and retention of contractors;

restrict the ability of a recipient
described in subclause (I) to obtain

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to tighten asylum laws,
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 ``Updated Standards for Asylum Act of
2023'' or the ``USA Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. CREDIBLE FEAR INTERVIEWS.
Section 235(b)(1)(B)(v) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8
U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(B)(v)) is amended by striking ``claim'' and all that
follows, and inserting ``claim, as determined pursuant to section
208(b)(1)(B)(iii), and such other facts as are known to the officer,
that the alien could establish eligibility for asylum under section
208, and it is more probable than not that the statements made by, and
on behalf of, the alien in support of the alien's claim are true.''.
SEC. 3. JURISDICTION OF ASYLUM APPLICATIONS.
Section 208(b)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1158) is amended by striking subparagraph (C).
SEC. 4. RECORDING EXPEDITED REMOVAL AND CREDIBLE FEAR INTERVIEWS.
(a) In General.--The Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish
quality assurance procedures and take steps to effectively ensure that
questions by employees of the Department of Homeland Security
exercising expedited removal authority under section 235(b) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1225(b)) are asked in a
uniform manner, to the extent possible, and that both these questions
and the answers provided in response to them are recorded in a uniform
fashion.
(b) Factors Relating to Sworn Statements.--Where practicable, any
sworn or signed written statement taken of an alien as part of the
record of a proceeding under section 235(b)(1)(A) of the Immigration
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(A)) shall be accompanied by a
recording of the interview which served as the basis for that sworn
statement.
(c) Interpreters.--The Secretary shall ensure that a competent
interpreter, not affiliated with the government of the country from
which the alien may claim asylum, is used when the interviewing officer
does not speak a language understood by the alien.
(d) Recordings in Immigration Proceedings.--There shall be an audio
or audio visual recording of interviews of aliens subject to expedited
removal. The recording shall be included in the record of proceeding
and shall be considered as evidence in any further proceedings
involving the alien.
(e) No Private Right of Action.--Nothing in this section shall be
construed to create any right, benefit, trust, or responsibility,
whether substantive or procedural, enforceable in law or equity by a
party against the United States, its departments, agencies,
instrumentalities, entities, officers, employees, or agents, or any
person, nor does this section create any right of review in any
administrative, judicial, or other proceeding.
SEC. 5. SAFE THIRD COUNTRY.
Section 208(a)(2)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8
U.S.C. 1158(a)(2)(A)) is amended--

SEC. 6. RENUNCIATION OF ASYLUM STATUS PURSUANT TO RETURN TO HOME
COUNTRY.
(a) In General.--Section 208(c) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act (8 U.S.C. 1158(c)) is amended by adding at the end the following
new paragraph:
``(4) Renunciation of status pursuant to return to home
country.--
``(A) In general.--Except as provided in
subparagraph (B), any alien who is granted asylum under
this Act, who, absent changed country conditions,
subsequently returns to the country of such alien's
nationality or, in the case of an alien having no
nationality, returns to any country in which such alien
last habitually resided, and who applied for such
status because of persecution or a well-founded fear of
persecution in that country on account of race,
religion, nationality, membership in a particular
social group, or political opinion, shall have his or
her status terminated.
``(B) Waiver.--The Secretary has discretion to
waive subparagraph (A) if it is established to the
satisfaction of the Secretary that the alien had a
compelling reason for the return. The waiver may be
sought prior to departure from the United States or
upon return.''.
(b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 208(c)(3) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1158(c)(3)) is amended by inserting after
``paragraph (2)'' the following: ``or (4)''.
SEC. 7. NOTICE CONCERNING FRIVOLOUS ASYLUM APPLICATIONS.
(a) In General.--Section 208(d)(4) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1158(d)(4)) is amended--

consequences, under paragraph (6), of knowingly filing a
frivolous application for asylum; and'' and inserting a
semicolon;
(3) in subparagraph (B), by striking the period and

(4) by adding at the end the following:
``(C) ensure that a written warning appears on the
asylum application advising the alien of the
consequences of filing a frivolous application, which
written warning shall serve as notice to the alien of
the consequence of filing a frivolous application.''.
(b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 208(d)(6) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1158(d)(6)) is amended by striking ``If the''
and all that follows and inserting:
``(A) Determination.--If the Secretary of Homeland
Security or the Attorney General determines that an
alien has knowingly made a frivolous application for
asylum and the alien has received the notice under
paragraph (4)(C), the alien shall be permanently
ineligible for any benefits under this Act, effective
as the date of the final determination of such an
application.
``(B) Criteria.--An application is frivolous if the
Secretary of Homeland Security or the Attorney General
determines, consistent with subparagraph (C), that--
``(i) it is so insufficient in substance
that it is clear that the applicant knowingly
filed the application solely or in part to
delay removal from the United States, to seek
employment authorization as an applicant for
asylum pursuant to regulations issued pursuant
to paragraph (2), or to seek issuance of a
Notice to Appeal in order to pursue
Cancellation of Removal under section 240A(b);
or
``(ii) any of the material elements of the
application are knowingly fabricated.
``(C) Opportunity to clarify.--The Secretary of the
Attorney General may not make a determination under
this paragraph that an application is frivolous unless,
during the course of the proceedings, the applicant has
had sufficient opportunity to clarify any discrepancies
or implausible aspects of the claim.
``(D) Availability of certain relief.--A finding
under this paragraph that an alien filed a frivolous
asylum application shall not preclude the alien from
seeking withholding of removal under section 241(b)(3)
or protection pursuant to the Convention Against
Torture.''.
SEC. 8. ANTI-FRAUD INVESTIGATIVE WORK PRODUCT.
(a) Asylum Credibility Determinations.--Section 208(b)(1)(B)(iii)
of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1158(b)(1)(B)(iii)) is
amended by inserting after ``all relevant factors'' the following: ``,
including statements made to, and investigative reports prepared by,
immigration authorities and other government officials''.
(b) Relief for Removal Credibility Determinations.--Section
240(c)(4)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1229a(c)(4)(C)) is amended by inserting after ``all relevant factors''
the following: ``, including statements made to, and investigative
reports prepared by, immigration authorities and other government
officials''.

asylum or the adjudication of an application for asylum under section
208 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1158) or
withholding of removal under section 241(b)(3) of such Act (8 U.S.C.

``(8) Review and notification by the secretary.--
``(A) Guidance.--Not less than 90 days before the
commencement of each competition for a grant under this
chapter, the Secretary shall issue nonregulatory
guidance regarding the rights and responsibilities of
applicants with respect to the application and
evaluation process for programs and projects assisted
under this chapter, including applicant access to peer
review comments. The guidance shall describe the
procedures for the submission, processing, and scoring
of applications for grants under this chapter,
including the information described in subparagraph
(B).
``(B) Technical components of applications.--
``(i) Establishment and treatment of
nonsubstantive technical components of
applications.--With respect to any competition
for a grant under this chapter, the Secretary
may only establish voluntary page limit and
formatting requirements for grant applications
and may not reject grant applications that do
not meet those voluntary requirements. The
Secretary may suggest page limits and
formatting standards (including with respect to
font size, font style, font type, line spacing,
paragraph justification, and page margins), but
may not use noncompliance with these suggested
requirements as a basis to reject or penalize
grant applications.
``(ii) Identification and treatment of
technical budget errors in applications.--
``(I) In general.--With respect to
any competition for a grant under this
chapter, the Secretary may not reject
or penalize grant applications on the
basis of a typographical or rounding
error in a proposed budget until the
Secretary has given the applicant an
opportunity for correction in
accordance with subclause (II).
``(II) Notice and opportunity for
correction.--The Secretary shall
provide notice and identification of an
error described in subclause (I) by
email and phone to the applicant before
awarding grants for each competition.
During a period of not fewer than 14
days, the Secretary shall allow the
applicant to submit a revised
application that corrects the
identified error.
``(III) Treatment of revised
applications.--The Secretary shall
treat the revised application in the
same manner as a timely submitted
application.
``(IV) Failure to correct.--If an
applicant has received a notice and
opportunity for correction of a
typographical or rounding error in a
proposed budget in accordance with
subclause (II) and the applicant fails
to correct the error and submit a
revised application before the deadline
described in that subclause, the
Secretary may reject or penalize that
grant application.
``(C) Review.--
``(i) Request for review.--With respect to
any competition for a grant under this chapter,
an applicant may request a review if the
applicant--
``(I) has evidence that a specific
technical, administrative, or scoring
error was made by the Department, an
agent of the Department, or a peer
reviewer, with respect to the scoring
or processing of a submitted
application; and
``(II) has otherwise met all of the
requirements for submission of the
application.
``(ii) Error made by the department.--In
the case of evidence of error by the Department
or an agent of the Department, other than a
peer reviewer, the Secretary shall review any
evidence submitted by the applicant and provide
a timely response to the applicant. If the
Secretary determines that an error was made by
the Department or an agent of the Department,
other than a peer reviewer, the Secretary shall
correct the error and accordingly adjust the
applicant score.
``(iii) Error made by a peer reviewer.--
``(I) In general.--In the case of
evidence of error by a peer reviewer, a
secondary review panel shall
automatically and promptly evaluate the
application for consideration in the
applicable grant competition upon
receipt of a request by any such
applicant. Examples of errors
warranting secondary review may
include--
``(aa) points withheld for
criteria not required in
statute, regulation, or
guidance governing a program
under this chapter or the
application for a grant for
such program; or
``(bb) information
pertaining to selection
criteria that was incorrectly
determined to be missing from
an application.
``(II) Timely review and
replacement score.--The secondary
review panel described in subclause (I)
shall conduct a secondary review in a
timely fashion, and the score resulting
from the secondary review shall replace
the score from the initial peer review.
``(III) Composition of secondary
review panel.--The secondary review
panel shall be composed of reviewers
each of whom--
``(aa) did not review the
application in the original
peer review;
``(bb) is a member of the
cohort of peer reviewers for
the grant program that is the
subject of such secondary
review; and
``(cc) to the extent
practicable, has conducted peer
reviews in not less than 2
previous competitions for the
grant program that is the
subject of such secondary
review.
``(IV) Final score.--The final peer
review score of an application subject
to a secondary review under this clause
shall promptly be adjusted
appropriately using the score awarded
by the secondary review panel, so as
not to interfere with the timely
awarding of grants for the applicable
grant competition.
``(iv) Finality.--
``(I) In general.--A determination
by the Secretary under clause (ii)
shall not be reviewable by any officer
or employee of the Department other
than the Secretary.
``(II) Scoring.--The score awarded
by a secondary review panel under
clause (iii) shall not be reviewable by
any officer or employee of the
Department other than the Secretary.
``(v) Funding of applications with certain
adjusted scores.--Applications with scores that
are adjusted upward under clause (ii) or (iii)
that equal or exceed the minimum cut-off score
for the applicable grant competition shall be
funded by the Secretary using general or
administrative funds available to the Secretary
other than those funds appropriated or
allocated for the programs authorized by this
chapter.''.
(c) Outreach.--Section 402A(d)(3) of the Higher Education Act of
1965 (20 U.S.C. 1070a-11(d)(3)) is amended by adding at the end the

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''.
SEC. 4. INDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING COMMISSION.
(a) Administrative Matters.--
(1) Appointment of members.--Each State shall establish an
independent redistricting commission composed of--
(A) a chair, who shall be appointed by majority
vote of the other members of the commission; and
(B) an equal number of members (but not fewer than
one) from each of the following categories:
(i) Members appointed by a member of the
upper house of the State legislature who
represents the political party with the
greatest number of seats in that house.
(ii) Members appointed by a member of the
upper house of the State legislature who
represents the political party with the second
greatest number of seats in that house.
(iii) Members appointed by a member of the
lower house of the State legislature who
represents the political party with the
greatest number of seats in that house.
(iv) Members appointed by a member of the
lower house of the State legislature who
represents the political party with the second
greatest number of seats in that house.
(2) Special rule for states with unicameral legislature.--
In the case of a State with a unicameral legislature, the
independent redistricting commission established under this
subsection shall be composed of--
(A) a chair, who shall be appointed by majority
vote of the other members of the commission; and
(B) an equal number of members (but not fewer than
2) from each of the following categories:
(i) Members appointed by a member of the
legislature who shall be selected by the chair
of the Government Affairs Committee of the
legislature to represent the State political
party whose candidate for chief executive of
the State received the greatest number of votes
on average in the 3 most recent general
elections for that office.
(ii) Members appointed by a member of the
legislature who shall be selected by the chair
of the Government Affairs Committee of the
legislature to represent the State political
party whose candidate for chief executive of
the State received the second greatest number
of votes on average in the 3 most recent
general elections for that office.
(3) Eligibility.--An individual is eligible to serve as a
member of an independent redistricting commission if--
(A) as of the date of appointment, the individual
is registered to vote in elections for Federal office
held in the State, and was registered to vote in the 2
most recent general elections for Federal office held
in the State;
(B) the individual did not hold public office or
run as a candidate for election for public office, or
serve as an employee of a political party or candidate
for election for public office, at any time during the
4-year period ending on the December 31 preceding the
date of appointment; and
(C) the individual certifies that he or she will
not run as a candidate for the office of Representative
in the Congress until after the next apportionment of
Representatives 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).
(4) Vacancy.--A vacancy in the commission shall be filled
in the manner in which the original appointment was made.
(5) Deadline.--Each State shall establish a commission
under this section, and the members of the commission shall
appoint the commission's chair, not later than the date on
which the chief executive of a State receives the State
apportionment notice.
(6) Appointment of chair required prior to development of
redistricting plan.--The commission may not take any action to
develop a redistricting plan for the State under subsection (b)
until the appointment of the commission's chair in accordance
with paragraph (1)(E).
(7) Requiring all meetings to be open to public.--The
commission shall hold each of its meetings in public.
(8) Internet site.--As soon as practicable after
establishing the commission, the State shall establish and
maintain a public internet site for the commission which meets
the following requirements:
(A) The site is updated continuously to provide
advance notice of commission meetings and to otherwise
provide timely information on the activities of the
commission.
(B) The site contains the most recent available
information from the Bureau of the Census on voting-age
population, voter registration, and voting in the
State, including precinct-level and census tract-level
data with respect to such information, as well as
detailed maps reflecting such information.
(C) The site includes interactive software to
enable any individual to design a redistricting plan
for the State on the basis of the information described
in subparagraph (B), in accordance with the criteria
described in subsection (b)(1).
(D) The site permits any individual to submit a
proposed redistricting plan to the commission, and to

(b) Development of Redistricting Plan.--
(1) Criteria.--The independent redistricting commission of
a State shall develop a redistricting plan for the State in
accordance with the following criteria:
(A) Adherence to the ``one person, one vote''
standard and other requirements imposed under the
Constitution of the United States.
(B) To the greatest extent mathematically possible,
ensuring that the population of each Congressional
district in the State does not vary from the population
of any other Congressional district in the State (as
determined on the basis of the total count of persons
of the most recent decennial census conducted by the
Bureau of the Census).
(C) Consistency with any applicable requirements of
the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and other Federal laws.
(D) To the greatest extent practicable, the
maintenance of the geographic continuity of the
political subdivisions of the State which are included

order of priority:
(i) The continuity of counties or parishes.
(ii) The continuity of municipalities.
(iii) The continuity of neighborhoods (as
determined on the basis of census tracts or
other relevant information).
(E) To the greatest extent practicable, maintaining
compact districts (in accordance with such standards as
the commission may establish).
(F) Ensuring that districts are contiguous (except
to the extent necessary to include any area which is
surrounded by a body of water).
(2) Factors prohibited from consideration.--In developing
the redistricting plan for the State, the independent
redistricting commission may not take into consideration any of
the following factors, except to the extent necessary to comply
with the Voting Rights Act of 1965:
(A) The voting history of the population of a
Congressional district, except that the commission may
take such history into consideration to the extent
necessary to comply with any State law which requires
the establishment of competitive Congressional
districts.
(B) The political party affiliation of the
population of a district.

plan developed by the independent redistricting commission of a
State is not enacted into law under section 4(c)(3) by the

<DOC>
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.

discretionary appropriations with similar
goals, and make recommendations for
consolidating the programs that are identified;

welfare program that does not have proven
beneficial outcomes that assist in achieving

recommendations regarding consolidating or

(vii) identify and eliminate benefit cliffs
by designing on/off ramps such as gradual
benefit reductions as individuals' wages

purposes set forth in section 2 as determined
by the Commission;

and
``(ii)(I) use incentives and market-based means to
encourage the desired behavior;

major rule shall include in the promulgation a summary
of the information contained in the analysis''; and
(E) in subsection (e), as so redesignated, by

or analysis, provided that the statement or analysis

through the final rule stage, and be integrated explicitly into
the rulemaking process.
``(2) Agencies shall consult with a wide variety of State,
local, and Tribal officials and impacted parties within the
private sector (including small businesses). Geographic,
political, and other factors that may differentiate varying
points of view should be considered.
``(3) Agencies should estimate benefits and costs to assist
with these consultations. The scope of the consultation should
reflect the cost and significance of the Federal mandate being
considered.
``(4) Agencies shall, to the extent practicable--
``(A) seek out the views of State, local, and
Tribal governments, and impacted parties within the
private sector (including small businesses), on costs,
benefits, and risks; and
``(B) solicit ideas about alternative methods of
compliance and potential flexibilities, and input on
whether the Federal regulation will harmonize with and
not duplicate similar laws in other levels of
government.
``(5) Consultations shall address the cumulative impact of
regulations on the affected entities.
``(6) Agencies may accept electronic submissions of
comments by relevant parties but may not use those comments as
the sole method of satisfying the guidelines in this
subsection.''.

rule for which a regulatory impact analysis is required under section
202, an agency shall from the alternatives identified and considered

benefits, taking into consideration only the costs and benefits that
arise within the scope of the statutory provision that authorizes the
rulemaking.

required under subsection (b) only if--
``(1) the Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs approves the adoption by the agency of the
alternative; and
``(2) the alternative is adopted to--
``(A) account for costs or benefits that cannot be
quantified, including costs or benefits related to
constitutional or civil rights, provided that the
agency identifies all such costs and benefits and
explains why those costs and benefits justify the
adoption of the alternative; or
``(B) achieve additional benefits or cost
reductions, provided that the agency--
``(i) identifies--
``(I) all such additional benefits
and the associated costs of those
benefits; and
``(II) all such cost reductions and
the associated benefits of those cost
reductions; and

Mr. Garamendi (for himself, Mr. Amodei, Mr. Turner, Ms. Strickland, and
Mr. Bacon) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 10, United States Code, to direct the forgiveness or
offset of an overpayment of retired pay paid to a joint account for a
period after the death of the retired member of the Armed Forces.
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 ``Respect for Grieving Military
Families Act''.
SEC. 2. FORGIVENESS OR OFFSET OF OVERPAYMENT OF RETIRED PAY PAID TO A
JOINT ACCOUNT FOR A PERIOD AFTER THE DEATH OF THE RETIRED
MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES.
(a) When Payment Deposited to Joint Account.--Section 2771 of title
10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following
new subsection:
``(e) In the case of overpayment of retired or retainer pay,
arising from payment of such retired or retainer pay for any period
after the date of the death of a recipient through the last day of the
month in which such death occurs, if such payment is electronically
deposited in an accredited financial institution to a joint account
bearing the name of the decedent and another individual who is the
decedent's designated beneficiary under subsection (a)(1), the
Secretary of Defense--
``(1) if the decedent is an individual to whom section 1448
of this title applies, shall elect to--
``(A) forgive the overpayment on behalf of the
United States; or
``(B) offset the overpayment pursuant to section
1450(n) of this title; or
``(2) if the decedent is not an individual to whom section
1448 of this title applies, shall forgive the overpayment on
behalf of the United States.''.
(b) Coordination With Survivor Benefit Plan.--Section 1450 of title
10, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in subsection (a), by inserting ``, or that applies
under subsection (n)'' after ``under subsection (j)''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(n) Special Rule in Case of Certain Final Retired Pay
Overpayment.--In a case described in section 2771(e) of this title, if
the individual described in that subsection other than the decedent is
the beneficiary of the decedent under the Plan, each of the first 12
payments, following the death of the decedent, of the annuity payable
to the decedent's beneficiary under the Plan, shall be reduced by one-
twelfth of such overpayment.''.
(c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall
apply with respect to payments made to persons who die on or after the
date of the enactment of this Act.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To authorize the immediate expulsion of inadmissible aliens attempting
to enter the United States by fraud or without a necessary entry
document, 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. TEMPORARY EXPULSION OF INADMISSIBLE ARRIVING ALIENS.
(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.
(b) Detention Pending Expulsion.--An alien subject to expulsion
under subsection (a) shall be detained pending expulsion.
SEC. 2. COUNTRIES TO WHICH ALIENS MAY BE EXPELLED.
(a) In General.--Except as provided in subsection (b), an alien who
is processed for expulsion pursuant to section 1(a) shall be expelled
to Mexico.
(b) Alternative Countries.--If the Government of Mexico is
unwilling to accept an alien subject to expulsion under section 1(a)
into the territory of Mexico or if the Secretary of Homeland Security
determines that expulsion to Mexico would not be in the national
interest of the United States, such alien shall be expelled, as
directed by the Secretary, to--
(1) the country of which such alien is a citizen, subject,
or national;
(2) the country in which such alien was born;
(3) the country in which such alien has a residence; or
(4) a country with a government that will accept such alien
into its territory if expulsion to each country described in
paragraphs (1) through (3) is impracticable, inadvisable, or
impossible.
(c) Restriction on Expulsion to a Country Where an Alien Would Be
Threatened With Persecution or Torture.--
(1) In general.--Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b),
and except as provided in paragraph (2), the Secretary of
Homeland Security may not expel an alien to a country if--
(A) the alien's life or freedom would be threatened
in such country because of such alien's race, religion,
nationality, membership in a particular social group or
political opinion; or
(B) there are substantial grounds for believing
that such alien would be in danger of being subjected
to torture if expelled to such country.
(2) Exception.--Paragraph (1) shall not apply--
(A) to an alien who is deportable under section
237(a)(4)(D) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8
U.S.C. 1227(a)(4)(D)); or
(B) if the Secretary of Homeland Security
determines that--
(i) the alien ordered, incited, assisted,
or otherwise participated in the persecution of
an individual because of the individual's race,
religion, nationality, membership in a
particular social group, or political opinion;
(ii) the alien, having been convicted by a
final judgement of a particularly serious
crime, is a danger to the citizens of the
United States;
(iii) there are serious reasons to believe
that the alien committed a serious nonpolitical
crime outside the United States before the
alien arrived in the United States; or
(iv) there are reasonable grounds to
believe that the alien is a danger to the
national security of the United States.
(3) Determinations.--
(A) Particularly serious crime.--For purposes of
paragraph (2)(B)(ii), an alien who has been convicted
of an aggravated felony or felonies for which the alien
has been sentenced to an aggregate term of imprisonment
of not less than 5 years shall be considered to have
committed a particularly serious crime. Notwithstanding
the previous sentence, the Secretary of Homeland
Security may determine that an alien sentenced to an
aggregate term of imprisonment of less than 5 years has
been convicted of a particularly serious crime.
(B) Danger to national security.--For purposes of
paragraph (2)(B)(iv), an alien who is described in
section 237(a)(4)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act (8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(4)(B)) shall be considered to be
an alien with respect to whom there are reasonable
grounds for regarding as a danger to the national
security of the United States.
(4) Referral to asylum officer.--
(A) Referral.--If an alien expresses to an
immigration officer a fear that such alien's life or
freedom would be threatened in the country to which
such alien will be expelled or that the alien would be
in danger of being subjected to torture in such
country, the immigration officer shall refer the alien
for an interview by an asylum officer employed in the
Refugee, Asylum and International Operations
Directorate of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services for a determination pursuant to paragraphs (1)
and (2).
(B) Burden of proof; credibility.--In determining
whether an alien has demonstrated that such alien's
life or freedom would be threatened for a reason
described in paragraph (1)(A) or whether the alien
would be subjected to torture described in subparagraph
(1)(B), the asylum officer shall--
(i) determine whether the alien has
sustained the alien's burden of proof; and
(ii) make credibility determinations, in
the manner described in clauses (ii) and (iii)
of section 208(b)(1)(B) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1158(b)(1)(B)).
SEC. 3. WAIVER AUTHORITY.
(a) In General.--The Office of Field Operations Port Director
(referred to in this subsection as ``Director'') for each land port of
entry situated on the border between the United States and Mexico shall
coordinate with the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection
to determine the maximum number of aliens per day that the Office of
Field Operations staff at such port are capable of--
(1) safely processing through such port of entry; and
(2) placing with nongovernmental organizations to provide
short-term shelter and services.
(b) Strategy.--At the time of a determination under subsection (a),
the Director shall develop a strategy to safely and humanely identify
eligible individuals in the United States, giving priority to
individuals who--
(1) have a disability or an acute medical condition;
(2) are in need of advanced medical care that cannot be
obtained in their current location; or
(3) are described in section 2(c)(1).
(c) Exception.--An immigration officer, after approval from the
Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, may, on a case-by-
case basis, except an alien from expulsion based on the totality of the
circumstances, including consideration of significant law enforcement
officer, public safety, humanitarian, and public health interests. An
alien who has been excepted from expulsion under this subsection shall
be processed in accordance with the immigration laws (as defined in
section 101(a)(17) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1101(a)(17)).

A BILL
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to require each off-
campus outpatient department of a provider to include a unique
identifier on claims for items and services, and to require providers
with a department of a provider to submit to the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services an attestation with respect to each such department.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. REQUIRING A SEPARATE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND AN
ATTESTATION FOR EACH OFF-CAMPUS OUTPATIENT DEPARTMENT OF
A PROVIDER.
Section 1833(t) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395l(t)) is
amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
``(23) Use of unique health identifiers; attestation.--
``(A) In general.--No payment may be made under
this subsection (or under an applicable payment system
pursuant to paragraph (21)) for items and services
furnished on or after January 1, 2026, by an off-campus
outpatient department of a provider (as defined in
subparagraph (C)) unless--
``(i) such department has obtained, and
such items and services are billed under, a
unique health identifier (as established
pursuant to standards described in section
1173(b)) that is separate from such identifier
for such provider; and
``(ii) such provider has submitted to the
Secretary, during the 2-year period ending on
the date such items and services are so
furnished, an attestation that such department
is compliant with the requirements described in
section 413.65 of title 42, Code of Federal
Regulations (or a successor regulation).
``(B) Process for submission and review.--Not later
than 1 year after the date of enactment of this
paragraph, the Secretary shall, through notice and
comment rulemaking, establish a process for each
provider with an off-campus outpatient department of a
provider to submit an attestation pursuant to
subparagraph (A)(ii), and for the Secretary to review
each such attestation and determine, through site
visits or through remote audits (as determined
appropriate by the Secretary), whether such department
is compliant with the requirements described in such
subparagraph.
``(C) Off-campus outpatient department of a

SEC. 801. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that in addition to expanding and
strengthening the affordable housing credit through the provisions in
the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2023, subsequent steps
should also be taken to share data and identify other ways to increase
the transparency of the program, and the House of Representatives and
the Senate should work together with Federal agencies to identify data
sources that can be shared.

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.
