To provide remedies to members of the Armed Forces discharged or

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 24, 2023
Mr. Bishop of North Carolina (for himself, Mr. Johnson of Louisiana,
Mr. Gosar, Mr. Gaetz, Mr. Harris, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Biggs, Mrs. Boebert,
Mr. Duncan, and Mrs. Luna) introduced the following bill; which was
referred to the Committee on Armed Services
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To provide remedies to members of the Armed Forces discharged or
subject to adverse action under the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
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 ``Allowing Military Exemptions,
Recognizing Individual Concerns About New Shots Act of 2023'' or the
``AMERICANS Act''.
SEC. 2. REMEDIES FOR MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES DISCHARGED OR SUBJECT
TO ADVERSE ACTION UNDER THE COVID-19 VACCINE MANDATE.
(a) Limitation on Imposition of New Mandate.--The Secretary of
Defense may not issue any COVID-19 vaccine mandate as a replacement for
the mandate rescinded under section 525 of the James M. Inhofe National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 absent a further Act of
Congress expressly authorizing a replacement mandate.
(b) Remedies.--Section 736 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81; 10 U.S.C. 1161 note prec.)
is amended--
(1) in the section heading, by striking ``to obey lawful
order to receive'' and inserting ``to receive'';
(2) in subsection (a)--
(A) by striking ``a lawful order'' and inserting
``an order''; and
(B) by striking ``shall be'' and all that follows
through the period at the end and inserting ``shall be
an honorable discharge.'';
(3) by redesignating subsection (b) as subsection (e); and
(4) by inserting after subsection (a) the following new
subsections:
``(b) Prohibition on Adverse Action.--The Secretary of Defense may
not take any adverse action against a covered member based solely on
the refusal of such member to receive a vaccine for COVID-19.
``(c) Remedies Available for a Covered Member Discharged or Subject
to Adverse Action Based on COVID-19 Status.--At the election of a
covered member discharged or subject to adverse action based on the
member's COVID-19 vaccination status, and upon application through a
process established by the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary shall--
``(1) adjust to `honorable discharge' the status of the
member if--
``(A) the member was separated from the Armed
Forces based solely on the failure of the member to
obey an order to receive a vaccine for COVID-19; and
``(B) the discharge status of the member would have
been an `honorable discharge' but for the refusal to
obtain such vaccine;
``(2) reinstate the member to service at the highest grade
held by the member immediately prior to the involuntary
separation, allowing, however, for any reduction in rank that
was not related to the member's COVID-19 vaccination status,
with an effective date of reinstatement as of the date of
involuntary separation;
``(3) for any member who was subject to any adverse action
other than involuntary separation based solely on the member's
COVID-19 vaccination status--
``(A) restore the member to the highest grade held
prior to such adverse action, allowing, however, for
any reduction in rank that was not related to the
member's COVID-19 vaccination status, with an effective
date of reinstatement as of the date of involuntary
separation; and
``(B) compensate such member for any pay and
benefits lost as a result of such adverse action;
``(4) expunge from the service record of the member any
adverse action, to include non-punitive adverse action and
involuntary separation, as well as any reference to any such
adverse action, based solely on COVID-19 vaccination status;
and
``(5) include the time of involuntary separation of the
member reinstated under paragraph (2) in the computation of the
retired or retainer pay of the member.
``(d) Retention and Development of Unvaccinated Members.--The
Secretary of Defense shall--
``(1) make every effort to retain covered members who are
not vaccinated against COVID-19 and provide such members with
professional development, promotion and leadership
opportunities, and consideration equal to that of their peers;
``(2) only consider the COVID-19 vaccination status of a
covered member in making deployment, assignment, and other
operational decisions where--
``(A) the law or regulations of a foreign country
require covered members to be vaccinated against COVID-
19 in order to enter that country; and
``(B) the covered member's presence in that foreign
country is necessary in order to perform their assigned
role; and
``(3) for purposes of deployments, assignments, and
operations described in paragraph (2), create a process to
provide COVID-19 vaccination exemptions to covered members
with--
``(A) a natural immunity to COVID-19;
``(B) an underlying health condition that would
make COVID-19 vaccination a greater risk to that
individual than the general population; or
``(C) sincerely held religious beliefs in conflict
with receiving the COVID-19 vaccination.
``(e) Applicability of Remedies Contained in This Section.--The
prohibitions and remedies described in this section shall apply to
covered members regardless of whether or not they sought an
accommodation to any Department of Defense COVID-19 vaccination policy
on any grounds.''.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 454
To protect children against sexual abuse and exploitation, and for
other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 24, 2023
Mr. Burchett (for himself and Mr. Cuellar) introduced the following
bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To protect children against sexual abuse and exploitation, 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 ``Preventing Child Sex Abuse Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
The sense of Congress is the following:
(1) The safety of children should be a top priority for
public officials and communities in the United States.
(2) According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network,
an individual in the United States is sexually assaulted every
68 seconds. And every 9 minutes, that victim is a child.
Meanwhile, only 25 out of every 1,000 perpetrators will end up
in prison.
(3) The effects of child sexual abuse can be long-lasting
and affect the victim's mental health.
(4) Victims are more likely than non-victims to experience
the following mental health challenges:
(A) Victims are about 4 times more likely to
develop symptoms of drug abuse.
(B) Victims are about 4 times more likely to
experience post-traumatic stress disorder as adults.
(C) Victims are about 3 times more likely to
experience a major depressive episode as adults.
(5) The criminal justice system should and has acted as an
important line of defense to protect children and hold
perpetrators accountable.
(6) However, the horrific crimes perpetuated by Larry
Nassar demonstrate firsthand the loopholes that still exist in
the criminal justice system. While Larry Nassar was found
guilty of several State-level offenses, he was not charged
federally for his illicit sexual contact with minors, despite
crossing State and international borders to commit this
conduct.
(7) The Department of Justice has also identified a growing
trend of Americans who use charitable or missionary work in a
foreign country as a cover for sexual abuse of children.
(8) It is the intent of Congress to prohibit Americans from
engaging in sexual abuse or exploitation of minors under the
guise of work, including volunteer work, with an organization
that affects interstate or foreign commerce, such as an
international charity.
(9) Federal law does not require that an abuser's intention
to engage in sexual abuse be a primary, significant, dominant,
or motivating purpose of the travel.
(10) Child sexual abuse does not require physical contact
between the abuser and the child. This is especially true as
perpetrators turn increasingly to internet platforms, online
chat rooms, and webcams to commit child sexual abuse.
(11) However, a decision of the United States Court of
Appeals for the Seventh Circuit found the use of a webcam to
engage in sexually provocative activity with a minor did not
qualify as ``sexual activity''.
(12) Congress can address this issue by amending the
definition of the term ``sexual activity'' to clarify that it
does not require interpersonal, physical contact.
(13) It is the duty of Congress to provide clearer guidance
to ensure that those who commit crimes against children are
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
SEC. 3. INTERSTATE CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE.
Section 2423 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in subsection (b), by striking ``with a motivating
purpose of engaging in any illicit sexual conduct with another
person'' and inserting ``with intent to engage in any illicit
sexual conduct with another person'';
(2) by redesignating subsections (d), (e), (f), and (g) as
subsections (e), (f), (g), and (i), respectively;
(3) in subsection (e), as so redesignated, by striking
``with a motivating purpose of engaging in any illicit sexual
conduct'' and inserting ``with intent to engage in any illicit
sexual conduct''; and
(4) by inserting after subsection (g), as so redesignated,
the following:
``(h) Rule of Construction.--As used in this section, the term
`intent' shall be construed as any intention to engage in illicit
sexual conduct at the time of the travel.''.
SEC. 4. ABUSE UNDER THE GUISE OF CHARITY.
Section 2423 of title 18, United States Code, as amended by section
3 of this Act, is amended--
(1) by inserting after subsection (c) the following:
``(d) Illicit Sexual Conduct in Connection With Certain
Organizations.--Any citizen of the United States or alien admitted for
permanent residence who--
``(1) is an officer, director, employee, or agent of an
organization that affects interstate or foreign commerce;
``(2) makes use of the mails or any means or
instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce through the
connection or affiliation of the person with such organization;
and
``(3) commits an act in furtherance of illicit sexual
conduct through the connection or affiliation of the person
with such organization,
shall be fined under this title, imprisoned for not more than 30 years,
or both.'';
(2) in subsection (f), as so redesignated, by striking ``or
(d)'' and inserting ``(d), or (e)''; and
(3) in subsection (i), as so redesignated, by striking
``(f)(2)'' and inserting ``(g)(2)''.
SEC. 5. SEXUAL ACTIVITY WITH MINORS.
Section 2427 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by
inserting ``does not require interpersonal physical contact, and''
before ``includes''.

H. R. 456
To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act with respect to
limitations on exclusive approval or licensure of orphan drugs, and for
other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 24, 2023
Mr. Carter of Georgia introduced the following bill; which was referred
to the Committee on Energy and Commerce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act with respect to
limitations on exclusive approval or licensure of orphan drugs, 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 ``Fairness in Orphan Drug Exclusivity
Act''.
SEC. 2. LIMITATIONS ON EXCLUSIVE APPROVAL OR LICENSURE OF ORPHAN DRUGS.
Section 527 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
360cc) is amended--
(1) in subsection (a), by striking ``Except as provided in
subsection (b)'' and inserting ``Except as provided in
subsection (b) or (f)''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following:
``(f) Limitations on Exclusive Approval, Certification, or
License.--
``(1) In general.--For a drug designated under section 526
for a rare disease or condition pursuant to the criteria set
forth in subsection (a)(2)(B) of such section, the Secretary
shall not grant, recognize, or apply exclusive approval or
licensure under subsection (a), and, if such exclusive approval
or licensure has been granted, recognized, or applied, shall
revoke such exclusive approval or licensure, unless the sponsor
of the application for such drug demonstrates with respect to
an application approved or a license issued after the date of
enactment of this subsection, upon such approval or issuance,
that there is no reasonable expectation at the time of such
approval or issuance that the cost of developing and making
available in the United States such drug for such disease or
condition will be recovered from sales in the United States of
such drug, taking into account all sales made or reasonably
expected to be made within 12 years of first marketing the
drug.
``(2) Considerations.--For purposes of paragraph (1), the
Secretary and the sponsor of the application for the drug
designated for a rare disease or condition described in such
paragraph shall consider sales from all drugs that--
``(A) are developed or marketed by the same sponsor
or manufacturer of the drug (or a licensor, predecessor
in interest, or other related entity to the sponsor or
manufacturer); and
``(B) are covered by the same designation under
section 526.
``(3) Criteria.--No drug designated under section 526 for a
rare disease or condition pursuant to the criteria set forth in
subsection (a)(2)(B) of such section shall be eligible for
exclusive approval or licensure under this section unless it
met such criteria under such subsection on the date on which
the drug was approved or licensed.''.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To identify and combat corruption in countries, to establish a tiered

evaluate whether foreign persons engaged in significant corruption
should be specially designated nationals under the Global Magnitsky
Human Rights Accountability Act.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Combating Global Corruption Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.
In this Act:
(1) Corrupt actor.--The term ``corrupt actor'' means--
(A) any foreign person or entity that is a
government official or government entity responsible
for, or complicit in, an act of corruption; and
(B) any company, in which a person or entity
described in subparagraph (A) has a significant stake,
which is responsible for, or complicit in, an act of
corruption.
(2) Corruption.--The term ``corruption'' means the unlawful
exercise of entrusted public power for private gain, including
by bribery, nepotism, fraud, or embezzlement.
(3) Significant corruption.--The term ``significant
corruption'' means corruption committed at a high level of
government that--
(A) illegitimately distorts major decision making,
such as policy or resource determinations, or other
fundamental functions of governance; and
(B) involves economically or socially large-scale
government activities.
SEC. 3. PUBLICATION OF TIERED RANKING LIST.
(a) In General.--The Secretary of State shall annually publish, on
a publicly accessible website, a tiered ranking of all foreign
countries.
(b) Tier 1 Countries.--A country shall be ranked as a tier 1
country in the ranking published under subsection (a) if the government
of such country is complying with the minimum standards set forth in
section 4.
(c) Tier 2 Countries.--A country shall be ranked as a tier 2
country in the ranking published under subsection (a) if the government
of such country is making efforts to comply with the minimum standards
set forth in section 4, but is not achieving the requisite level of
compliance to be ranked as a tier 1 country.
(d) Tier 3 Countries.--A country shall be ranked as a tier 3
country in the ranking published under subsection (a) if the government

SEC. 4. MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR THE ELIMINATION OF CORRUPTION AND
ASSESSMENT OF EFFORTS TO COMBAT CORRUPTION.
(a) In General.--The government of a country is complying with the
minimum standards for the elimination of corruption if the government--
(1) has enacted and implemented laws and established
government structures, policies, and practices that prohibit
and generally deter corruption, including significant
corruption;
(2) enforces the laws described in paragraph (1) by
punishing any person who is found, through a fair judicial
process, to have violated such laws;
(3) prescribes punishment for significant corruption that
is commensurate with the punishment prescribed for serious
crimes; and
(4) is making serious and sustained efforts to address
corruption, including through prevention.
(b) Factors for Assessing Government Efforts To Combat
Corruption.--In determining whether a government is making serious and
sustained efforts to address corruption, the Secretary of State shall
consider, to the extent relevant or appropriate, factors such as--
(1) whether the government of the country has criminalized
corruption, investigates and prosecutes acts of corruption, and
convicts and sentences persons responsible for such acts over
which it has jurisdiction, including, as appropriate,
incarcerating individuals convicted of such acts;
(2) whether the government of the country vigorously
investigates, prosecutes, convicts, and sentences public
officials who participate in or facilitate corruption,
including nationals of the country who are deployed in foreign
military assignments, trade delegations abroad, or other
similar missions, who engage in or facilitate significant
corruption;
(3) whether the government of the country has adopted
measures to prevent corruption, such as measures to inform and
educate the public, including potential victims, about the
causes and consequences of corruption;
(4) whether the government of the country has taken steps
to prohibit government officials from participating in,
facilitating, or condoning corruption, including the
investigation, prosecution, and conviction of such officials;
(5) the extent to which the country provides access, or, as
appropriate, makes adequate resources available, to civil
society organizations and other institutions to combat
corruption, including reporting, investigating, and monitoring;
(6) whether an independent judiciary or judicial body in
the country is responsible for, and effectively capable of,
deciding corruption cases impartially, on the basis of facts
and in accordance with the law, without any improper
restrictions, influences, inducements, pressures, threats, or
interferences (direct or indirect);
(7) whether the government of the country is assisting in
international investigations of transnational corruption
networks and in other cooperative efforts to combat significant
corruption, including, as appropriate, cooperating with the
governments of other countries to extradite corrupt actors;
(8) whether the government of the country recognizes the
rights of victims of corruption, ensures their access to
justice, and takes steps to prevent victims from being further
victimized or persecuted by corrupt actors, government
officials, or others;
(9) whether the government of the country protects victims
of corruption or whistleblowers from reprisal due to such
persons having assisted in exposing corruption, and refrains
from other discriminatory treatment of such persons;
(10) whether the government of the country is willing and
able to recover and, as appropriate, return the proceeds of
corruption;
(11) whether the government of the country is taking steps
to implement financial transparency measures in line with the
Financial Action Task Force recommendations, including due
diligence and beneficial ownership transparency requirements;
(12) whether the government of the country is facilitating
corruption in other countries in connection with state-directed
investment, loans or grants for major infrastructure, or other
initiatives; and
(13) such other information relating to corruption as the
Secretary of State considers appropriate.

Organization of American States, done at Caracas March 29,
1996.
(2) The Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public
Officials in International Business Transactions of the

Organized Crime, done at New York November 15, 2000.
(4) The United Nations Convention against Corruption, done
at New York October 31, 2003.

persons engaged in significant corruption for the purposes of potential
imposition of sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights

H. R. 459
To ensure the privacy of pregnancy termination or loss information
under the HIPAA privacy regulations and the HITECH Act.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 24, 2023
Ms. Eshoo (for herself and Ms. Jacobs) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To ensure the privacy of pregnancy termination or loss information
under the HIPAA privacy regulations and the HITECH Act.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Secure Access For Essential
Reproductive Health Act of 2023'' or the ``SAFER Health Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. ENSURING THE PRIVACY OF PREGNANCY TERMINATION OR LOSS
INFORMATION UNDER THE HIPAA PRIVACY REGULATIONS AND THE
HITECH ACT.
(a) In General.--
(1) Prohibition on disclosure.--Subject to paragraph (2)
and nothwithstanding any provision in regulations promulgated
pursuant to section 264(c) of the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-191), a covered
entity or business associate of such entity may not disclose
pregnancy termination or loss information of an individual in
Federal, State, local, or tribal proceedings, including civil,
criminal, administrative, legislative, or other proceedings,
without the valid authorization of the individual made in
accordance with section 164.508 of title 45, Code of Federal
Regulations.
(2) Exceptions.--Paragraph (1) shall not apply in the case
of a disclosure of pregnancy termination or loss information of
an individual by a covered entity or business associate of a
covered entity if--
(A) such information is necessary for use in
defense of a professional liability action or
proceeding against the covered entity or business
associate and such information is disclosed by--
(i) the covered entity or business
associate to such covered entity's or business
associate's attorney or professional liability
insurer or insurer's agent; or
(ii) the authorized attorney of such
covered entity or business associate to a court
or body hearing such action or proceeding; or
(B) such information is necessary to--
(i) investigate physical harm to such
individual by another person directly relating
to the loss or termination of the pregnancy;
and
(ii) such individual is unable to provide
consent due to death or incapacity.
(b) HITECH.--
(1) Privacy exception.--The Secretary of Health and Human
Services shall revise section 171.202 of title 45, Code of
Federal Regulations, to clarify that an entity's practice of
not fulfilling a request to access, exchange, or use electronic
health information in order to comply with subsection (a) will
not be considered information blocking (as defined for purposes
of such section) if such information is pregnancy termination
or loss information.
(2) Greater security.--The Secretary of Health and Human
Services shall revise section 170.401 of title 45, Code of
Federal Regulations, to require that as a condition of
certification (as described in such section), a health IT
developer (as so described) shall implement practices that
allow for the segregation of data related to pregnancy
termination or loss information to ensure compliance with
subsection (a).
(c) Modification of State Preemption Exceptions.--
(1) In general.--The provisions of this section shall
preempt any State law to the extent such law conflicts with or
prevents application of this section. Nothing in the preceding
sentence shall be construed to preempt a State law to the
extent that such law provides greater privacy protections for
pregnancy termination or loss information than provided under
this section.
(2) Modification.--The Secretary of Health and Human
Services shall revise section 160.203 of title 45, Code of
Federal Regulations (or a successor regulation), to ensure that
no exception to the general preemption rule stated in such
section applies with respect to pregnancy termination or loss
information other than the exception under the second sentence
of paragraph (1).
(d) Outreach.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall
conduct an outreach campaign to covered entities and business
associates of such entities to ensure that such entities and associates
are aware of the requirements of this section and any changes to
regulations made pursuant to this section.
(e) Procedure.--Any revisions to regulations required by
application of this section shall be made by notice in the Federal
Register published not later than 3 months after the date of the
enactment of this section as an interim final rule. The Secretary of
Health and Human Services shall, after providing opportunity for public
comment, finalize any such interim final rule not later than 9 months
after such interim final rule is published with such modifications as
the Secretary determines appropriate.
(f) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) HIPAA terms.--The terms ``business associate'',
``covered entity'', and ``protected health information'' have
the meaning given such terms for purposes of the regulations
described in subsection (a)(1).
(2) Pregnancy termination or loss information.--The term
``pregnancy termination or loss information'' means protected
health information of an individual that relates to information
that could reveal having or seeking an abortion or care for
pregnancy loss, including without limitation, any request for
or receipt of items, services, education, counseling, or
referrals relating to the termination or loss of a pregnancy of
such individual, including abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth,
and ectopic pregnancy.

H. R. 46
To authorize funding to increase access to mental health care treatment
to reduce gun violence.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 9, 2023
Ms. Jackson Lee introduced the following bill; which was referred to
the Committee on Energy and Commerce, 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 authorize funding to increase access to mental health care treatment
to reduce gun violence.
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 ``Mental Health Access and Gun
Violence Prevention Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) Suicide is the leading cause of gun related deaths in
America. More than 60 percent of deaths by guns in the country
are the result of individuals using these weapons as a means to
commit suicide. Some of these deaths might have been prevented
if there were adequate background checks.
(2) Victims of domestic abuse are more likely to become
victims of homicide when a gun is present. Further, individuals
who suffer from mental illnesses are more likely to be victims
rather than perpetrators of violence.
(3) Approximately 1 in 4 American adults have a mental
illness and nearly half of all adults in America will develop
at least one mental illness during their lifetime.
(4) Less than half of children and adults with diagnosable
mental health problems receive the treatment they need.
SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION OF FUNDING TO INCREASE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH
CARE TREATMENT TO REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE.
There is authorized to be appropriated to the Attorney General of
the United States, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and the
Commissioner of Social Security $500,000,000 for fiscal year 2024 to
carry out programs and activities authorized by provisions of law other
than this Act--
(1) to increase access to mental health care treatment and
services; and
(2) to encourage and assist the reporting of relevant
disqualifying mental health information to the National Instant
Criminal Background Check System.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 461
To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit discrimination by
abortion against an unborn child on the basis of Down syndrome.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 24, 2023
Mr. Estes (for himself, Mr. Aderholt, Mr. Banks, Mr. Feenstra, Mr.
Gaetz, Mr. Higgins of Louisiana, Mr. Kelly of Mississippi, Mrs. Miller
of Illinois, Mr. Smith of New Jersey, and Mr. Stauber) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit discrimination by
abortion against an unborn child on the basis of Down syndrome.
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 ``Protecting Individuals with Down
Syndrome Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) On June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court
issued a decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health
Organization (No. 19-1392, 2022 WL 2276808 (2022)), which
overturned its prior, egregiously wrong holding in Roe v. Wade
(410 U.S. 113 (1973)).
(2) Dobbs correctly affirmed that there is no
constitutional right to abort an unborn child and that the
Court's prior decision in Roe was not based in the
Constitution's text nor was it deeply rooted in the history and
tradition of the United States.
(3) Federal law protects individuals with disabilities
against discrimination, including in the provision of medical
care.
(4) As Congress has previously affirmed, ``[d]isability is
a natural part of the human experience and in no way diminishes
the right of individuals to live independently, enjoy self-
determination, make choices, contribute to society, pursue
meaningful careers, and enjoy full inclusion and integration in
the economic, political, social, and educational mainstream of
American society.''.
(5) It is the policy of the United States to respect the
lives and the dignity of individuals with disabilities,
including individuals with Down syndrome.
(6) Federal, State, and local government all have a role to
play in preventing discrimination based on disability,
including discrimination against individuals with Down
syndrome.
(7) Consistent with the overarching Federal policy of
nondiscrimination, and in light of the shameful history of
targeting unborn children for abortion based on race, gender,
or disabilities, Congress must combat invidious discrimination
by prohibiting doctors from aborting unborn children because
the unborn child has been diagnosed with Down syndrome.
(8) Tragically, in some countries that have failed to
protect unborn children diagnosed with Down syndrome, virtually
every unborn child diagnosed with Down syndrome is aborted.
(9) Individuals with Down syndrome are inherently valuable
and worthy of dignity and respect. They enrich and strengthen
our society in countless ways, including but not limited to by
building meaningful relationships, participating in and
creating families, learning, and working alongside other
Americans.
SEC. 3. DISCRIMINATION BY ABORTION AGAINST AN UNBORN CHILD ON THE BASIS
OF DOWN SYNDROME PROHIBITED.
(a) In General.--Chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is
amended by adding at the end the following:
``Sec. 250. Discrimination by abortion against an unborn child on the
basis of Down syndrome prohibited
``(a) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) Abortion.--The term `abortion' means the act of using
or prescribing any instrument, medicine, drug, or any other
substance, device, or means with the intent to--
``(A) kill the unborn child of a woman known to be
pregnant; or
``(B) terminate the pregnancy of a woman known to
be pregnant, with an intention other than--
``(i) to produce a live birth and preserve
the life and health of the child born alive;
``(ii) to save the life of the pregnant
woman; or
``(iii) to remove a dead unborn child.
``(2) Down syndrome.--The term `Down syndrome' means a

individual of the species homo sapiens from the beginning of
the biological development of that individual, including
fertilization, until the point of being born alive, as defined

``(b) Offense.--It shall be unlawful to--
``(1) perform an abortion--
``(A) with the knowledge that a pregnant woman is
seeking an abortion, in whole or in part, on the basis
of--
``(i) a test result indicating that the
unborn child has Down syndrome;
``(ii) a prenatal diagnosis that the unborn
child has Down syndrome; or
``(iii) any other reason to believe that
the unborn child has or may have Down syndrome;
or
``(B) without first--
``(i) asking the pregnant woman if she is
aware of any test results, prenatal diagnosis,
or any other evidence that the unborn child has
or may have Down syndrome; and
``(ii) if the woman is aware that the
unborn child has or may have Down syndrome,
informing the pregnant woman of the
prohibitions on abortion under this section;
``(2) use force or the threat of force to intentionally
injure or intimidate any person for the purpose of coercing an
abortion described in paragraph (1)(A);
``(3) solicit or accept funds for the performance of an
abortion described in paragraph (1)(A); or
``(4) knowingly transport a woman into the United States or
across a State line for the purpose of obtaining an abortion
described in paragraph (1)(A).
``(c) Criminal Penalty.--Any person that violates, or attempts to
violate, subsection (b) shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not
more than 5 years, or both.
``(d) Civil Remedies.--
``(1) Civil action by woman on whom abortion is
performed.--A woman upon whom an abortion has been performed or
attempted in violation of subsection (b)(2) may bring a civil
action in an appropriate court against any person who engaged
in a violation of subsection (b)(2) to obtain appropriate
relief.
``(2) Civil action by relatives.--
``(A) In general.--Except as provided in
subparagraph (B), the father of an unborn child who is
the subject of an abortion performed or attempted in
violation of subsection (b), or a maternal grandparent
of the unborn child if the pregnant woman is an
unemancipated minor, may bring a civil action in an
appropriate court against any person who engaged in the
violation to obtain appropriate relief.
``(B) Exceptions.--Subparagraph (A) shall not apply
if--
``(i) the pregnancy or abortion resulted
from the criminal conduct of the plaintiff
described in subparagraph (A); or
``(ii) the plaintiff described in
subparagraph (A) consented to the abortion.
``(3) Appropriate relief.--Appropriate relief in a civil
action under this subsection includes--
``(A) objectively verifiable money damages for all
injuries, psychological and physical, including loss of
companionship and support, occasioned by the violation
of this section; and
``(B) punitive damages.
``(4) Injunctive relief.--A qualified plaintiff may bring a
civil action in an appropriate court to obtain injunctive
relief to prevent an abortion provider from performing or
attempting further abortions in violation of this section.
``(5) Attorney's fees for plaintiff.--The court shall award
a reasonable attorney's fee as part of the costs to a
prevailing plaintiff in a civil action under this subsection.
``(e) Bar to Prosecution.--A woman upon whom an abortion is
performed may not be prosecuted or held civilly liable for any
violation of this section or for a conspiracy to violate this section.
``(f) Loss of Federal Funding.--A violation of subsection (b) shall
be deemed discrimination for the purposes of section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794).
``(g) Reporting Requirement.--
``(1) In general.--A physician, physician's assistant,
nurse, counselor, or other medical or mental health
professional shall report known or suspected violations of any
of this section to appropriate law enforcement authorities.
``(2) Criminal penalty.--Any person who violates paragraph
(1) shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 1
year, or both.
``(h) Expedited Consideration.--It shall be the duty of the
district courts of the United States, the courts of appeals of the
United States, and the Supreme Court of the United States to advance on
the docket and to expedite to the greatest possible extent the
disposition of any matter brought under this section.
``(i) Protection of Privacy in Court Proceedings.--
``(1) In general.--Except to the extent the Constitution of
the United States or other similarly compelling reason
requires, in every civil or criminal action under this section,
the court shall make such orders as are necessary to protect
the anonymity of any woman upon whom an abortion has been
performed or attempted if she does not give her written consent
to such disclosure. Such orders may be made upon motion, but
shall be made sua sponte if not otherwise sought by a party.
``(2) Orders to parties, witnesses, and counsel.--The court
shall issue appropriate orders to the parties, witnesses, and
counsel and shall direct the sealing of the record and
exclusion of individuals from courtrooms or hearing rooms to
the extent necessary to safeguard the identity of a woman
described in paragraph (1) from public disclosure.
``(3) Pseudonym required.--In the absence of written
consent of the woman upon whom an abortion has been performed
or attempted, any party, other than a public official, who
brings an action under this section shall do so under a
pseudonym.
``(4) Limitation.--This subsection may not be construed to
conceal the identity of the plaintiff or of witnesses from the
defendant or from attorneys for the defendant.
``(j) Rule of Construction.--
``(1) Greater protection.--Nothing in this section may be
construed to pre-empt or limit any Federal, State, or local law
that provides greater protections for an unborn child than
those provided in this section.
``(2) Creating or recognizing right.--Nothing in this
section shall be construed as creating or recognizing a right
to abortion nor shall it make lawful an abortion that is
otherwise unlawful under Federal, State, or local law.''.
(b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections of chapter 13 of
title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the
following:
``250. Discrimination by abortion against an unborn child on the basis
of Down syndrome prohibited.''.
SEC. 4. SEVERABILITY.
If any portion of this Act, or the amendments made by this Act, or
the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid,
such invalidity shall not affect the portions or applications of this
Act which can be given effect without the invalid portion or
application.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 464
To restore the separation of powers between the Congress and the
President.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 24, 2023
Mr. Gosar (for himself, Mr. Massie, and Ms. Hageman) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Rules, 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 restore the separation of powers between the Congress and the
President.
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 ``Separation of Powers Restoration
Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) As a limit on governmental power, constitutional
framers vested Federal powers in three coequal branches of
government, each with unique and limited powers and each with a
coequal duty to uphold and sustain the Constitution of the
United States.
(2) A Supreme Court justice stated, ``The doctrine of the
separation of powers was adopted by the convention of 1787 not
to promote efficiency but to preclude the exercise of arbitrary
power. The purpose was not to avoid friction, but, by means of
the inevitable friction incident to the distribution of the
governmental powers among three departments, to save the people
from autocracy.'' Myers v. United States, 272 U.S. 52, 293
(1926) (Brandeis, J., dissenting).
(3) James Madison, quoting Montesquieu, stated in
Federalist 47, ``There can be no liberty where the legislative
and executive powers are united in the same person, or body of
magistrates.''.
(4) Article I of the Constitution provides, ``All
legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress
of the United States.''.
(5) A congressional committee print has noted that,
``[b]ecause the President has no power or authority over
individual citizens and their rights except where he is granted
such power and authority by a provision in the Constitution or
by statute, the President's proclamations are not legally
binding and are at best hortatory unless based on such grants
of authority.'' 85th Cong., 1st Sess., Executive Orders and
Proclamations: A Study of a Use of Presidential Powers (Comm.
Print 1957).
(6) The Supreme Court has stated that, even if Presidents
have, without congressional authority, taken actions only the
Congress may take, ``Congress has not thereby lost its
exclusive constitutional authority to make laws necessary and
proper to carry out the powers vested by the Constitution `in
the Government of the United States, or any Department or
Officer thereof.'''. (Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer,
343 U.S. 579 (1952)).
(7) Treaties or executive agreements which purport to
assign powers not amongst those specifically granted to the
Federal Government by the Constitution are non-binding and
cannot constitute law.
SEC. 3. SEPARATION OF POWERS RESTORING RESCISSIONS.
(a) Repeal of War Powers Resolution.--The War Powers Resolution (50
U.S.C. 1541 et seq.) is repealed.
(b) Termination of States of Emergency.--
(1) In general.--All powers and authorities possessed by
the President, any other officer or employee of the Federal
Government, or any executive agency (as defined in section 105
of title 5) as a result of the existence of any declaration of
national emergency in effect on the date of enactment of this
Act are terminated 90 days after such date. Such termination
shall not affect--
(A) any action taken or proceeding pending not
finally concluded or determined on such date;
(B) any action or proceeding based on any act
committed prior to such date; or
(C) any rights or duties that matured or penalties
that were incurred prior to such date.
(2) Definition.--For the purpose of this subsection, the
term ``national emergency'' means a general declaration of
emergency made by the President or any other officer or
employee of the executive branch.
(c) Termination of Authority To Declare Emergency.--To the extent
that any Act of Congress in effect on the date of enactment of this Act
grants to the President or any other officer or employee of the
executive branch the power to declare a national emergency, such power
is hereby divested to the Congress alone.
SEC. 4. REQUIREMENT OF STATEMENT OF AUTHORITY FOR PRESIDENTIAL ORDERS.
(a) Statement of Authority.--The President shall include with each
Presidential order a statement of the specific statutory or
constitutional provision which in fact grants the President the
authority claimed for such action.
(b) Invalidity of Nonconforming Orders.--A Presidential order which
does not include the statement required by subsection (a) is invalid,
to the extent such Presidential order is issued under authority granted
by a congressional enactment.
SEC. 5. EFFECT OF PRESIDENTIAL ORDERS.
(a) Limited Effect of Presidential Orders.--A Presidential order
neither constitutes nor has the force of law and is limited in its
application and effect to the executive branch.
(b) Exceptions.--Subsection (a) does not apply to--
(1) a reprieve or pardon for an offense against the United
States, except in cases of impeachment;
(2) an order given to military personnel pursuant to duties
specifically related to actions taken as Commander in Chief of
the Armed Forces; or
(3) a Presidential order citing the specific congressional
enactment relied upon for the authority exercised in such order
and--
(A) issued pursuant to such authority;
(B) commensurate with the limit imposed by the
plain language of such authority; and
(C) not issued pursuant to a ratified or unratified
treaty or bilateral or multilateral agreement which--
(i) violates the ninth or tenth amendments
to the Constitution; or
(ii) makes a delegation of power to a
foreign government or international body when
no such delegating authority exists under the
Constitution.
SEC. 6. STANDING TO CHALLENGE PRESIDENTIAL ORDERS WHICH IMPACT
SEPARATION OF POWERS INTEGRITY.
The following persons may bring an action in an appropriate United
States court to challenge the validity of any Presidential order which
exceeds the power granted to the President by the relevant authorizing
statute or the Constitution:
(1) Congress and its members.--The House of
Representatives, the Senate, any Senator, and any
Representative to the House of Representatives, if the
challenged Presidential order--
(A) infringes on any power of Congress;
(B) exceeds any power granted by a congressional
enactment; or
(C) violates section 4 because it does not state
the statutory authority which in fact grants the
President the power claimed for the action taken in
such Presidential order.
(2) State and local governments.--The highest governmental
official of any State, commonwealth, district, territory, or
possession of the United States, or any political subdivision
thereof, or the designee of such person, if the challenged
Presidential order infringes on the powers afforded to the
States under the Constitution.
(3) Aggrieved persons.--Any person aggrieved in a liberty
or property interest adversely affected directly by the
challenged Presidential order.
SEC. 7. DEFINITION OF PRESIDENTIAL ORDER.
In this Act, the term ``Presidential order'' means--
(1) any Executive order, Presidential proclamation, or
Presidential directive; and
(2) any other Presidential or Executive action by whatever
name described purporting to have normative effect outside the
executive branch which is issued under the authority of the
President or any other officer or employee of the executive
branch.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to improve the protection

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Protect U.S. Investments Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. PROTECTION OF UNITED STATES INVESTORS.
Section 620(e) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C.
2370(e)) is amended--
(1) in paragraph (1)--
(A) in subparagraph (B), by inserting ``, including
by failing to meet, confer, or engage in good faith
consultations and negotiations through a duly
authorized representative with any such United States
citizen or corporation, partnership, or association, as
contemplated by any governing investment treaty, such
as Article 10.15 of the Dominican Republic-Central
America-United States Free Trade Agreement, not later
than 30 days after having been served a written request
for such treaty consultations or negotiations,
separately or in connection with a notice of intent to
arbitrate'' after ``citizens''; and
(B) by adding at the end the following new
sentence: ``For purposes of this subsection and in
addition to any other forms otherwise provided for by
law, the term `assistance' includes any direct or
indirect transfer, grant, loan, or guarantee, which is
subject to appropriation by Congress, to the government
of any foreign country, but does not include assistance
primarily supporting United States law enforcement or
national security interests.''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new paragraphs:
``(3) A United States citizen or corporation, partnership, or
association, whose investment comes within the scope of paragraph (1)
shall have--
``(A) the right to petition the Foreign Claims Settlement
Commission of the United States, or its successor, to render an
advisory report to the President, not later than 120 days after
service of such petition, regarding the merits of enforcing
this subsection with respect to the alleged treatment of said
investment by the identified foreign country; and
``(B) in the event that the Foreign Claims Settlement
Commission of the United States, or its successor, shall fail
to timely render such advisory report, to file an action in the
nature of a mandamus to compel the suspension of assistance
under this subsection as to the identified foreign country, as
referred to in subparagraph (A) in any court of competent
jurisdiction.
``(4) Any public official of the government of any foreign country
who has materially assisted in any prejudicial action relative to an
investment in that country by any United States citizen or corporation,
partnership or association, whose investment comes within the scope of
paragraph (1), may not be provided any immigration status or issued a
visa under the immigration laws (as such term is defined in section 101
of the Immigration and Nationality Act), or be admitted to the United
States, until such prejudicial action is rescinded, reversed,
permanently enjoined, or fully remediated.
``(5) Any public official of the government of any foreign country
who has materially assisted in any prejudicial action relative to an
investment in that country by any United States citizen or corporation,
partnership or association, whose investment comes within the scope of

A BILL
To amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require voting systems
used in elections for Federal office to produce a voter-verified paper
ballot of each vote cast on the system, 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 ``Securing America's Elections Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. PROMOTING ACCURACY, INTEGRITY, AND SECURITY THROUGH VOTER-
VERIFIED PERMANENT PAPER BALLOT.
(a) Ballot Verification and Audit Capacity.--
(1) In general.--Section 301(a)(2) of the Help America Vote
Act of 2002 (52 U.S.C. 21081(a)(2)) is amended to read as
follows:
``(2) Ballot verification and audit capacity.--
``(A) Voter-verified paper ballots.--
``(i) Verification.--(I) The voting system
shall require the production of a voter-
verified paper ballot of the voter's vote that
shall be created by or made available for
inspection and verification by the individual
voter before the voter's vote is cast and
counted. For purposes of this subclause, a
voter-verified paper ballot includes (but is
not limited to) a paper ballot marked by the
voter for the purpose of being counted by hand
or read by an optical scanner or other similar
device, a paper ballot prepared by the voter to
be mailed to an election official (whether from
a domestic or overseas location), a paper
ballot created through the use of a ballot
marking device or system, or a paper ballot
produced by a touch screen or other electronic
voting machine, so long as in each case the
voter is permitted to verify the ballot in a
paper form in accordance with this
subparagraph.
``(II) The voting system shall provide the
voter with an opportunity to correct any error
made by the system in the voter-verified paper
ballot before the permanent voter-verified
paper ballot is preserved in accordance with
clause (ii).
``(III) The voting system shall not
preserve the voter-verified paper ballots in
any manner that makes it possible, at any time
after the ballot has been cast, to associate a
voter with the record of the voter's vote.
``(ii) Preservation.--The voter-verified
paper ballot produced in accordance with clause
(i) shall be used as the official ballot for
purposes of any recount or audit conducted with
respect to any election for Federal office in
which the voting system is used, and shall be
preserved in accordance with regulations
promulgated by the Commission to establish
criteria for the proper preservation and
retention of the official ballots in the
election.
``(iii) Manual audit capacity.--Each paper
ballot produced pursuant to clause (i) shall be
suitable for a manual audit equivalent to that
of a paper ballot voting system, in accordance
with the methods described in subparagraph (B).
``(B) Approved methods for manual audits.--The
methods described in this subparagraph with respect to
the manual audit of voter-verified paper ballots are--
``(i) audits conducted through the use of
programmable electronic counting machines which
are not capable of being connected to the
Internet, as determined in accordance with
regulations promulgated by the Commission; or
``(ii) if no machine described in clause
(i) is available, an audit conducted by a hand
count.
``(C) Resolution of disputes when paper ballots
have been shown to be compromised.--In the event that
the paper ballots produced pursuant to subparagraph (A)
with respect to an election for Federal office have
been compromised, the State shall resolve the dispute
over the results of the election in accordance with
dispute resolution processes established under
regulations promulgated by the Commission.
``(D) Deadline for promulgation of regulations.--
The Commission shall promulgate the regulations
described in this paragraph not later than November 1,
2023.''.
(2) Conforming amendment clarifying applicability of
alternative language accessibility.--Section 301(a)(4) of such

``(including the paper ballots required to be produced under
paragraph (2))'' after ``voting system''.
(3) Other conforming amendments.--Section 301(a)(1) of such
Act (52 U.S.C. 21081(a)(1)) is amended--
(A) in subparagraph (A)(i), by striking ``counted''

(2) and (3)'';
(B) in subparagraph (A)(ii), by striking
``counted'' and inserting ``counted, in accordance with
paragraphs (2) and (3)'';
(C) in subparagraph (A)(iii), by striking
``counted'' each place it appears and inserting
``counted, in accordance with paragraphs (2) and (3)'';
and
(D) in subparagraph (B)(ii), by striking

253(f)(1)(A)(ii).
``(2) Recoupment of overpayments.--If a State receives a
requirements payment from funds appropriated for fiscal year

2023.''.
(3) Revised conditions for receipt of funds.--Section 253

costs incurred by the State in meeting such
requirements.
``(2) Certifications by states that require changes to

``(e)(1) Unless specifically exempted or unless listed in another
schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation which
contains any quantity of a fentanyl-related substance, or which
contains the salts, isomers, and salts of isomers of a fentanyl-related
substance whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of
isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation.
``(2) For purposes of paragraph (1), except as provided in
paragraph (3), the term `fentanyl-related substance' means any
substance that is structurally related to fentanyl by 1 or more of the
following modifications:
``(A) By replacement of the phenyl portion of the phenethyl
group by any monocycle, whether or not further substituted in
or on the monocycle.
``(B) By substitution in or on the phenethyl group with

``(E) By replacement of the N-propionyl group with another
acyl group.
``(3) A substance that satisfies the definition of the term
`fentanyl-related substance' in paragraph (2) shall nonetheless not be
treated as a fentanyl-related substance subject to this schedule if the
substance--
``(A) is controlled by action of the Attorney General under
section 201; or
``(B) is otherwise expressly listed in a schedule other
than this schedule.
``(4)(A) The Attorney General may by order publish in the Federal
Register a list of substances that satisfy the definition of the term
`fentanyl-related substance' in paragraph (2).
``(B) The absence of a substance from a list published under
subparagraph (A) does not negate the control status of the substance
under this schedule if the substance satisfies the definition of the
term `fentanyl-related substance' in paragraph (2).''.

designation than the schedule of the first controlled substance, a new
inspection by the Attorney General of the registered location is not
required.
``(B) Nothing in subparagraph (A) shall prohibit the Attorney
General from conducting an inspection that the Attorney General
determines necessary to ensure that a registrant maintains effective
controls against diversion.''.

application for registration or modification of existing
registration, to conduct research on the substance, in
accordance with regulations issued by the Attorney General for
purposes of this paragraph;
``(2) the person may, notwithstanding subsections (a) and
(b), continue to conduct the research on the substance until--

``(3) if the Attorney General serves an order to show cause
as described in paragraph (2)(B) and the person requests a
hearing, the hearing shall be held on an expedited basis and
not later than 45 days after the request is made, except that
the hearing may be held at a later time if so requested by the
person; and
``(4) if the person sends a copy of the application
described in paragraph (1) to a manufacturer or distributor of

determination described in that paragraph, regardless of
whether a practitioner has submitted such an application at
that time.''.

(a) Interim Final Rules.--The Attorney General--
(1) shall, not later than 1 year of the date of enactment

A BILL
To amend title XI of the Social Security Act to extend beyond the
COVID-19 emergency period, with certain modifications, the Emergency
Declaration Blanket Waiver relating to training and certification of
nurse aides to alleviate burdens imposed on staff of skilled nursing
facilities and nursing facilities.
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 ``Building America's Health Care
Workforce Act''.
SEC. 2. EXTENSION AND MODIFICATION OF COVID-19 EMERGENCY DECLARATION
BLANKET WAIVER RELATING TO TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION OF
NURSE AIDES FOR CERTAIN EMPLOYMENT AT NURSING FACILITIES.
Section 1135 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1320b-5) is
amended--
(1) in subsection (e)(1), by striking ``A waiver'' and
inserting ``Subject to subsection (h), a waiver''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(h) Waivers for Nurse Aides in Training.--
``(1) In general.--Notwithstanding sections 1819 and 1919,
the emergency waiver of requirements under section 483.35(d) of
title 42, Code of Federal Regulations, relating to training and
certification of nurse aides for employment by skilled nursing
facilities under title XVIII and nursing facilities under title
XIX, granted by the Secretary under the COVID-19 Emergency
Declaration Blanket Waivers for Health Care Providers pursuant
to this section shall remain in effect, subject to paragraph
(2), for a period that is not less than 24 months after the
date of the enactment of this subsection.
``(2) Modifications.--For the period described in paragraph
(1), the emergency waiver described in such paragraph shall be
applied consistent with the following:
``(A) Notwithstanding sections 1819(f)(2) and
1919(f)(2), the waiver shall allow for time worked by a
nurse aide during the emergency period described in
subsection (g)(1)(B) to count toward the 75 hours
minimum training described in sections 1819(f)(2)(A)
and 1919(f)(2)(A).
``(B) Notwithstanding sections
1819(f)(2)(B)(iii)(I) and 1919(f)(2)(B)(iii)(I), for
purposes of sections 1819 and 1919, a competency
evaluation of a nurse aide may be conducted at the
skilled nursing facility or nursing facility at which
the aide is (or will be) employed if the State in which
the facility is located does not offer such an
evaluation (in person or online) at least once a week.
``(3) Study.--Not later than 1 year after the date of the
enactment of this subsection, the Secretary shall conduct a
study, and submit to Congress a report, on the appropriateness
of maintaining the waiver described in paragraph (1), as
modified pursuant to paragraph (2). Such study shall include an
examination of the extent to which the waiver and its
continuation pursuant to this subsection, as modified,
alleviated the burdens imposed on staff of skilled nursing
facilities and nursing facilities.''.

SEC. 2. ASYLUM INTERVIEWS.
(a) Border Crossings.--Notwithstanding section 235(b)(1) of the

with the most convenient United States embassy or consulate in
Canada or Mexico.
(b) Credible Fear Screenings.--An alien described in subsection (a)
may only be permitted to enter the United States to apply for asylum if
an asylum officer stationed at a United States embassy or consulate--
(1) has conducted an in-person or telephonic interview with
the alien; and
(2) as a result of such interview, has concluded that the
alien--
(A)(i) has been persecuted in the alien's country
of nationality on account of the alien's race,
religion, nationality, membership in a particular
social group, or political opinion;
(ii) has a credible fear of persecution (as defined
in section 235(b)(1)(B) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(B))) if the alien

(iii) would be subject to torture by a government
or public official acting under the color of law if the
alien returned to his or her country of nationality;
and
(B) is otherwise eligible for asylum under section
208(a) of that Act (8 U.S.C. 1158(a)).
SEC. 3. ASYLUM INELIGIBILITY.

any alien who, on or after the date of the
enactment of this subparagraph, enters,
attempts to enter, or arrives in the United
States through the Southern land border after
transiting through, on the way to the United
States, one or more countries other than the
country of citizenship, nationality, or last
lawful habitual residence of the alien.
``(ii) Exceptions.--Clause (i) shall not
apply if--
``(I)(aa) the alien demonstrates
that he or she applied for protection
from persecution or torture in one or
more countries (other than the country

lawful habitual residence of the alien)
through which the alien transited on
the way to the United States; and

Refugees, done at Geneva July
28, 1951 (as made applicable by
the Protocol Relating to the
Status of Refugees, done at New
York January 31, 1967 (19 UST
6223)); or
``(bb) the Convention

Treatment or Punishment, done
at New York December 10, 1984.
``(G) Internal relocation.--Paragraph (1) shall not
apply to an alien interviewed by an asylum officer
under section 2(b) of the Asylum Abuse Reduction Act if

alien's country of nationality by relocating to another
part of such country.''.
SEC. 4. CRIMINAL BENCH WARRANTS.
(a) Issuance.--Each Federal judicial district shall appoint at

1253(a)(1)).
(b) Probable Cause.--An order of removal issued under any provision
of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.) that has
been in existence 90 days or more shall constitute prima facie evidence
of probable cause to issue a warrant under subsection (a).
SEC. 5. INAPPLICABILITY OF FLORES SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TO ALIENS
SUBJECT TO DETENTION.
The stipulated settlement agreement filed in the United States
District Court for the Central District of California on January 17,

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 472
To require the Attorney General to propose a program for making
treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder
available to public safety officers, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 24, 2023
Mr. Joyce of Ohio (for himself, Ms. Ross, Ms. Brown, and Mr. Turner)
introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require the Attorney General to propose a program for making
treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder
available to public safety officers, 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 ``Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Public safety officers serve their communities with
bravery and distinction in order to keep their communities
safe.
(2) Public safety officers, including police officers,
firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and 911
dispatchers, are on the front lines of dealing with situations
that are stressful, graphic, harrowing, and life threatening.
(3) The work of public safety officers puts them at risk
for developing post-traumatic stress disorder and acute stress
disorder.
(4) It is estimated that 30 percent of public safety
officers develop behavioral health conditions at some point in
their lifetimes, including depression and post-traumatic stress
disorder, in comparison to 20 percent of the general population
that develops such conditions.
(5) Victims of post-traumatic stress disorder and acute
stress disorder are at a higher risk of dying by suicide.
(6) Firefighters have been reported to have higher suicide
attempt and ideation rates than the general population.
(7) It is estimated that between 125 and 300 police
officers die by suicide every year.
(8) In 2019, pursuant to section 2(b) of the Law
Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act of 2017 (Public Law
115-113; 131 Stat. 2276), the Director of the Office of
Community Oriented Policing Services of the Department of
Justice developed a report (referred to in this section as the
``LEMHWA report'') that expressed that many law enforcement
agencies do not have the capacity or local access to the mental
health professionals necessary for treating their law
enforcement officers.
(9) The LEMHWA report recommended methods for establishing
remote access or regional mental health check programs at the
State or Federal level.
(10) Individual police and fire departments generally do
not have the resources to employ full-time mental health
experts who are able to treat public safety officers with
state-of-the-art techniques for the purpose of treating job-
related post-traumatic stress disorder and acute stress
disorder.
SEC. 3. PROGRAMMING FOR POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER.
(a) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Public safety officer.--The term ``public safety
officer''--
(A) has the meaning given the term in section 1204
of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of
1968 (34 U.S.C. 10284); and
(B) includes Tribal public safety officers.
(2) Public safety telecommunicator.--The term ``public
safety telecommunicator'' means an individual who--
(A) operates telephone, radio, or other
communication systems to receive and communicate
requests for emergency assistance at 911 public safety
answering points and emergency operations centers;
(B) takes information from the public and other
sources relating to crimes, threats, disturbances, acts
of terrorism, fires, medical emergencies, and other
public safety matters; and
(C) coordinates and provides information to law
enforcement and emergency response personnel.
(b) Report.--Not later than 150 days after the date of enactment of
this Act, the Attorney General, acting through the Director of the
Office of Community Oriented Policing Services of the Department of
Justice, shall submit to the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate
and the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives a
report on--
(1) not fewer than 1 proposed program, if the Attorney
General determines it appropriate and feasible to do so, to be
administered by the Department of Justice for making state-of-
the-art treatments or preventative care available to public
safety officers and public safety telecommunicators with regard
to job-related post-traumatic stress disorder or acute stress
disorder by providing public safety officers and public safety
telecommunicators access to evidence-based trauma-informed
care, peer support, counselor services, and family supports for
the purpose of treating or preventing post-traumatic stress
disorder or acute stress disorder;
(2) a draft of any necessary grant conditions required to
ensure that confidentiality is afforded to public safety
officers on account of seeking the care or services described
in paragraph (1) under the proposed program;
(3) how each proposed program described in paragraph (1)
could be most efficiently administered throughout the United
States at the State, Tribal, territorial, and local levels,
taking into account in-person and telehealth capabilities;
(4) a draft of legislative language necessary to authorize
each proposed program described in paragraph (1); and
(5) an estimate of the amount of annual appropriations
necessary for administering each proposed program described in
paragraph (1).
(c) Development.--In developing the report required under
subsection (b), the Attorney General shall consult relevant
stakeholders, including--
(1) Federal, State, Tribal, territorial, and local agencies
employing public safety officers and public safety
telecommunicators; and
(2) non-governmental organizations, international
organizations, academies, or other entities, including
organizations that support the interests of public safety
officers and public safety telecommunicators and the interests
of family members of public safety officers and public safety
telecommunicators.

1st Session
H. R. 473
To prohibit the use of Federal funds to close or realign the Marine
Corps Recruit Depot located at Parris Island, South Carolina, and for
other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 24, 2023
Ms. Mace (for herself, Mr. Wilson of South Carolina, Mr. Norman, Mr.
Timmons, Mr. Fry, and Mr. Duncan) introduced the following bill; which
was referred to the Committee on Armed Services
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To prohibit the use of Federal funds to close or realign the Marine
Corps Recruit Depot located at Parris Island, South Carolina, 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 ``Parris Island Protection Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Marine Corps Recruit Depot located at Parris
Island, South Carolina (in this section referred to as ``Parris
Island''), has served the United States as a home to the Marine
Corps since 1891.
(2) Parris Island was the first facility to integrate women
in boot camp training for the Marine Corps in the United
States.
(3) Female recruits have trained at Parris Island since
1949.
(4) The first integrated company of male and female
recruits graduated from Parris Island in 2019.
(5) Parris Island has cultivated a legacy of excellence and
faithful service to the United States.
(6) Parris Island's coastal geographical location is of
important strategic purpose to the Marine Corps.
(7) The Department of Defense issued a new strategy for
maritime deterrence called Advantage at Sea that includes the
Marine Corps.
(8) Parris Island completed a Climate Change Adaptation and
Resilience assessment that resulted in changes to its master
plan projects and adaptation strategies from spatial planning.
(9) The Parris Island Climate Change Adaptation and
Resiliency Team produced a comprehensive project portfolio and
complete set of Handbook Worksheets incorporating natural
infrastructure management (including green infrastructure and
enhanced natural buffers), reduction of water and energy use,
and master planning. The portfolio provides a guide for the
Depot to address climate-impacts to the mission in the short,
mid, and long term for current predicted storm surges, as well
as future sea level rise (2035, 2065, and 2100).
(10) Parris Island won the 2021 Secretary of the Navy's
Environmental Award for ``excellence in integrating
environmental and operational sustainability efforts and
mitigating impacts from storm surge and sea level rise through
2065''.
(11) Parris Island has received a grant totaling $2,050,100
to improve natural infrastructure and reduce erosion, stabilize
the shoreline, reduce storm surge impact, and improve water
quality while also protecting Department of Defense
installations, surrounding communities and resources from
climate impacts.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that Parris
Island is and should remain the physical home of the Marine Corps
Eastern Recruiting Region.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION OF CLOSING OR REALIGNMENT OF MARINE CORPS RECRUIT
DEPOT LOCATED AT PARRIS ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA.
No Federal funds may be used to close or realign Marine Corps
Recruit Depot, Parris Island, South Carolina, or to conduct any
planning or other activity related to such closure or realignment.

This Act may be cited as the ``Witness Security and Protection
Grant Program Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. WITNESS PROTECTION GRANT PROGRAM.

(1) the term ``applicant'' means a State, Tribal, or local
government that applies for a grant under this section; and
(2) the terms ``serious drug offense'' and ``serious
violent felony'' have the meaning given those terms in section
3559(c)(2) of title 18, United States Code.
(b) Grants Required.--Subject to subsection (j), the Attorney
General shall make competitive grants to State, Tribal, and local
governments to establish or maintain programs that provide protection
or assistance to witnesses in court proceedings involving--
(1) a homicide, serious violent felony, or serious drug
offense; or
(2) gangs or organized crime.

General shall evaluate applicants based upon the following:
(1) The extent to which the applicant lacks infrastructure
to support programs that provide protection or assistance to
witnesses.
(2) The prevalence of witness intimidation in the
jurisdiction of the applicant.
(3) The percentage of cases not prosecuted by the applicant
due to witness intimidation.
(4) The number of homicides per capita committed in the

appropriate.
(d) Technical Assistance.--From amounts made available under
subsection (j) to carry out this section, the Attorney General, upon
request of a recipient of a grant under this section, shall direct the
appropriate offices within the Department of Justice to provide
technical assistance to the recipient to the extent the Attorney
General determines technical assistance is needed to establish or
maintain a program that provides protection or assistance to witnesses.
(e) Best Practices.--
(1) Report.--A recipient of a grant under this section

practice models developed and disseminated under this
subsection to evaluate, improve, and develop witness protection
or witness assistance programs as appropriate.
(5) Rule of construction relating to sensitive
information.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to
require the dissemination of any information that the Attorney
General determines--
(A) is law enforcement sensitive and should only be
disclosed within the law enforcement community; or
(B) poses a threat to national security.
(f) Federal Share.--
(1) In general.--The Federal share of the cost of a program
carried out using a grant made under this section shall be not
more than 75 percent.
(2) In-kind contributions.--
(A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B), the
non-Federal share for a program carried out using a
grant made under this section may be in the form of in-
kind contributions that are directly related to the
purpose for which the grant was made.
(B) Maximum percentage.--Not more than 50 percent
of the non-Federal share for a program carried out
using a grant made under this section may be in the
form of in-kind contributions.

this section for a fiscal year, the Attorney General may use not more
than 5 percent for administrative costs.

To provide for the hiring of 200 additional Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Ms. Jackson Lee introduced the following bill; which was referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary

A BILL
To provide for the hiring of 200 additional Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Gun Violence Reduction Resources Act
of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) On average, more than 100,000 people in the United
States are shot in murders, assaults, and other crimes and more
than 32,000 people die from gun violence annually, including
2,677 children under 18 years of age.
(2) Many of these crimes were committed by people who never
should have been able to purchase a gun.
(3) Each year hundreds of law enforcement officers lose
their lives to gun violence, having been shot to death while
protecting their communities.
(4) Millions of guns are sold every year in ``no questions
asked'' transactions and experts estimate that 40 percent of
guns now sold in the United States are sold without a
background check of the purchaser.

Mr. Walberg) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 5, United States Code, to postpone the effective date of
high-impact rules pending judicial review.
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 ``Require Evaluation before
Implementing Executive Wishlists Act of 2023'' or the ``REVIEW Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. RELIEF PENDING REVIEW.
Section 705 of title 5, United States Code, is amended--
(1) by striking ``When'' and inserting the following:
``(a) In General.--When''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following:
``(b) High-Impact Rules.--
``(1) Definitions.--In this subsection--
``(A) the term `Administrator' means the
Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs of the Office of Management and
Budget; and
``(B) the term `high-impact rule' means any rule
that the Administrator determines may impose an annual
cost on the economy of not less than $1,000,000,000.
``(2) Identification.--A final rule may not be published or
take effect until--
``(A) the agency making the rule submits the rule
to the Administrator; and
``(B) the Administrator makes a determination as to
whether the rule is a high-impact rule, which shall be
published by the agency with the final rule.
``(3) Relief.--
``(A) In general.--Except as provided in
subparagraph (B), an agency shall postpone the
effective date of a high-impact rule of the agency

Notwithstanding section 553(d), if no person seeks
judicial review of a high-impact rule--
``(i) during any period explicitly provided
for judicial review under the statute
authorizing the making of the rule; or
``(ii) if no such period is explicitly
provided for, during the 60-day period
beginning on the date on which the high-impact
rule is published in the Federal Register,
the high-impact rule may take effect as early as the
date on which the applicable period ends.
``(4) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this subsection may
be construed to impose any limitation under law on any court
against the issuance of any order enjoining the implementation
of any rule.''.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. Calvert introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Natural Resources
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 to authorize
assignment to States of Federal agency environmental review
responsibilities, 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 ``Reducing Environmental Barriers to
Unified Infrastructure and Land Development Act of 2023'' or the
``REBUILD Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. ASSIGNMENT TO STATES OF FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
RESPONSIBILITIES.
Title I of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.
4331 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following new
section:
``SEC. 106. ASSIGNMENT TO STATES OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
RESPONSIBILITIES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN PROJECTS IN THE
STATE.
``(a) Assumption of Responsibility.--
``(1) In general.--Subject to the other provisions of this
section, with the written agreement of the responsible Federal
official and a State, which may be in the form of a memorandum
of understanding, the responsible Federal official may assign,
and the State may assume, the responsibilities of the
responsible Federal official under this Act with respect to one
or more covered Federal projects of the responsible Federal
official within the State.
``(2) Additional responsibility.--If a State assumes
responsibility under paragraph (1) the responsible Federal
official may assign to the State, and the State may assume, all
or part of the responsibilities of the responsible Federal
official for environmental review, consultation, or other
action required under any Federal environmental law pertaining
to the review or approval of covered projects of the
responsible Federal official.
``(3) Procedural and substantive requirements.--A State
shall assume responsibility under this section subject to the
same procedural and substantive requirements as would apply if
that responsibility were carried out by the responsible Federal
official.
``(4) Federal responsibility.--Any responsibility of the
responsible Federal official not explicitly assumed by the
State by written agreement under this section shall remain the
responsibility of the responsible Federal official.
``(5) No effect on authority.--Nothing in this section
preempts or interferes with any power, jurisdiction,
responsibility, or authority of an agency, other than the
agency of the responsible Federal official for a covered
Federal project, under applicable law (including regulations)
with respect to the project.
``(b) State Participation.--
``(1) Application.--Not later than 180 days after the date
of enactment of this section, each responsible Federal official
shall promulgate regulations that establish requirements
relating to information required to be contained in any
application of a State to assume responsibility under this
section with respect to covered Federal projects of the
responsible Federal official, including, at a minimum--
``(A) the projects or classes of projects for which
the State anticipates exercising the authority that may
be granted under this section;
``(B) verification of the financial resources
necessary to carry out the authority that may be
assigned under this section; and
``(C) evidence of the notice and solicitation of
public comment by the State relating to assumption of
responsibility under this section by the State,
including copies of comments received from that
solicitation.
``(2) Public notice.--
``(A) In general.--Each State that submits an
application under this subsection shall give notice of
the intent of the State to submit such application not
later than 30 days before the date of submission of the
application.
``(B) Method of notice and solicitation.--The State
shall provide notice and solicit public comment under
this paragraph by publishing the complete application
of the State in accordance with the appropriate public
notice law of the State.
``(3) Selection criteria.--A responsible Federal official
may approve the application of a State under this section only
if--
``(A) the regulatory requirements under paragraph
(2) have been met;
``(B) the responsible Federal official determines
that the State has the capability, including financial
and personnel, to assume the responsibility; and
``(C) the head of the State agency having primary
jurisdiction over covered projects with respect to
which responsibility would be assigned to the State
pursuant to the application enters into a written
agreement with the responsible Federal official
described in subsection (c).
``(4) Other federal agency views.--If a State applies to
assume a responsibility of a responsible Federal official that
would have required the responsible Federal official to consult
with another Federal agency, the responsible Federal official
shall solicit the views of the Federal agency before approving
the application.
``(c) Written Agreement.--A written agreement under this section
shall--
``(1) be executed by the Governor of the State or the head
of the State agency referred to in subsection (b)(3)(C);
``(2) be in such form as the responsible Federal official
may prescribe; and
``(3) provide that the State--
``(A) agrees to assume all or part of the
responsibilities of the responsible Federal official
described in subsection (a);
``(B) expressly consents, on behalf of the State,
to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal courts for
the compliance, discharge, and enforcement of any
responsibility of the responsible Federal official
assumed by the State;
``(C) certifies that State laws (including
regulations) are in effect that--
``(i) authorize the State to take the
actions necessary to carry out the
responsibilities being assumed; and
``(ii) are comparable to section 552 of
title 5, United States Code, including
providing that any decision regarding the
public availability of a document under those
State laws is reviewable by a court of
competent jurisdiction; and
``(D) agrees to maintain the financial resources
necessary to carry out the responsibilities being
assumed.
``(d) Jurisdiction.--
``(1) In general.--The United States district courts shall
have exclusive jurisdiction over any civil action against a
State for failure to carry out any responsibility of the State
under this section.
``(2) Legal standards and requirements.--A civil action
under paragraph (1) shall be governed by the legal standards
and requirements that would apply in such a civil action
against the responsible Federal official had the responsible
Federal official taken the actions in question.
``(3) Intervention.--The responsible Federal official shall
have the right to intervene in any action described in
paragraph (1).
``(e) Effect of Assumption of Responsibility.--A State that assumes
responsibility under subsection (a) shall be solely responsible and
solely liable for carrying out, in lieu of the responsible Federal
official, the responsibilities assumed under subsection (a), until the
termination of such assumption of responsibility.
``(f) Limitations on Agreements.--Nothing in this section permits a
State to assume any rulemaking authority of the responsible Federal
official under any Federal law.
``(g) Audits.--
``(1) In general.--To ensure compliance by a State with any
agreement of the State under subsection (c) (including
compliance by the State with all Federal laws for which
responsibility is assumed under subsection (a)), for each State
participating in the program under this section, the
responsible Federal official shall conduct--
``(A) semiannual audits during each of the first 2
years of the effective period of the agreement; and
``(B) annual audits during each subsequent year of
such effective period.
``(2) Public availability and comment.--
``(A) In general.--An audit conducted under
paragraph (1) shall be provided to the public for
comment for a 30-day period.
``(B) Response.--Not later than 60 days after the
date on which the period for public comment ends, the
responsible Federal official shall respond to public
comments received under subparagraph (A).
``(h) Report to Congress.--Each responsible Federal official shall
submit to Congress an annual report that describes the administration
of this section by such official.
``(i) Termination by Responsible Federal Official.--The responsible
Federal official with respect to an agreement with a State under this
section may terminate the agreement, and any responsibility or
authority of the State under this section with respect to such
agreement, if--
``(1) the responsible Federal official determines that the
State is not adequately carrying out the responsibilities
assumed by the State under this section;
``(2) the responsible Federal official provides to the
State--
``(A) notification of the determination of
noncompliance; and
``(B) a period of at least 30 days during which to
take such corrective action as the responsible Federal
official determines is necessary to comply with the
applicable agreement; and
``(3) the State, after the notification and period provided
under subparagraph (B), fails to take satisfactory corrective
action, as determined by the responsible Federal official.
``(j) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) Covered federal project.--The term `covered Federal
project' means--
``(A)(i) except as provided in clause (ii) and
subparagraph (B), any project that is funded by,
carried out by, or subject to approval or disapproval
by a responsible Federal official, including any
project for which a permit or other authorization by a
responsible Federal official is required; and
``(ii) in the case of projects funded, carried out
by, or subject to review, approval, or disapproval by
the Secretary of the Army, and except as provided in
subparagraph (B), includes only such projects of the
Corps of Engineers; and

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 25, 2023
Ms. Stefanik (for herself, Ms. Foxx, Mr. Banks, Mrs. Hinson, and Mr.

referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to extend Federal Pell Grant
eligibility to certain short-term workforce programs.
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 ``Promoting Employment and Lifelong
Learning Act'' or the ``PELL Act''.
SEC. 2. PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY FOR WORKFORCE PELL GRANTS.
Section 481(b) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C.
1088(b)) is amended--
(1) by redesignating paragraphs (3) and (4) as paragraphs
(4) and (5), respectively; and
(2) by inserting after paragraph (2) the following:
``(3) (A) A program is an eligible program for purposes of
the Workforce Pell Grants program under section 401(k) only
if--
``(i) it is at least 150 clock hours of
instruction, but not more than 600 clock hours of
instruction, or an equivalent number of credit hours,
offered during a minimum of 8 weeks, but not more than
15 weeks;
``(ii) it is determined by an accrediting agency or
association recognized by the Secretary pursuant to
section 496(a) to--
``(I) provide an education aligned with the
requirements of in-demand industry sectors or
occupations, as defined in section 3 of the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act;
``(II) meet the hiring requirements of
potential employers in the sectors or
occupations described in subclause (I);
``(III) have been offered by an institution
for not less than 1 year prior to a
determination by such agency or association
under this paragraph;
``(IV) have a verified completion rate of
at least 70 percent, calculated so as to ensure
that a student shall be counted as a completion
if the student completes the program within 150
percent of the normal time for completion; and
``(V) have verified a job placement rate of
at least 70 percent; and
``(iii) for each award year, the total amount of
the published tuition and fees of the program for such
year is an amount that does not exceed the value-added
earnings of students who received Federal financial aid
under this title and who completed the program 3 years
prior to the award year, as such earnings are
determined by calculating the difference between--
``(I) the median earnings of such students,
as adjusted by the State and metropolitan area
regional price parities of the Bureau of
Economic Analysis based on the location of such
program; and
``(II) 150 percent of the poverty line
applicable to a single individual as determined
under section 673(2) of the Community Services
Block Grant Act (42 U.S.C. 9902(2)) for such
year.
``(B)(i) In the case of a program that has not previously
participated in programs under this title and is being
determined eligible for the first time under this paragraph,
the Secretary may consider such program to be an eligible
program for purposes of the Workforce Pell Grants program under
section 401(k) for a provisional eligibility period that may
not exceed 3 years, if such program--
``(I) subject to subclause (II), meets the
requirements of subparagraph (A); and
``(II) in lieu of the determination of median
earnings under subclause (I) of subparagraph (A)(iii),
provides to the Secretary for purposes of meeting the
requirements of subparagraph (A)(iii), alternate
earnings of students who complete the program, which
are statistically rigorous, accurate, comparable, and
representative of students who complete such program.
``(ii) In a case in which the Secretary determines that a
program provided inaccurate earnings data under clause (i)(II)
for purposes of receiving provisional eligibility under clause
(i), such program shall return to the Secretary any funds
received under this title during the period beginning on first
date of the provisional eligibility period and ending on the
date of determination under this clause.
``(C) The Secretary shall establish an appeals process to
permit eligible programs for purposes of the Workforce Pell
Grants program under section 401(k) to submit alternate
earnings data to comply with subparagraph (A)(iii), provided
that such data are statistically rigorous, accurate,
comparable, and representative of students who receive a
Workforce Pell Grant and complete the eligible program.''.
SEC. 3. DATA COLLECTION AND DISSEMINATION RELATED TO WORKFORCE PELL.
Section 131 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1015) is
amended by adding at the end the following:
``(i) Data Collection and Dissemination Related to Workforce
Pell.--
``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall, on an annual basis,
collect, verify, and make publicly available on the College
Scorecard or any similar successor website, the information
required under clause (i), subclauses (IV) and (V) of clause
(ii), and clause (iii), and of subsection (b)(3)(A) of section
481, with respect to each eligible program that meets the
requirements of section 481(b)(3), including--
``(A) the length of the program (as measured in
clock hours, credit hours, or weeks);
``(B) the number of students enrolled in the
eligible program during the most recent academic year
for which data is available;
``(C) the percentage of students who enroll in the
eligible program and who complete the eligible program
within--
``(i) 150 percent of the normal time for
completion of such program; and
``(ii) 200 percent of the normal time for
completion of such program;
``(D) the percentage of students who are employed
not later than 180 days after completing the eligible
program; and
``(E) the percentage of individuals--
``(i) who have completed such eligible
program; and
``(ii) 3 years after such completion, whose
median earnings exceed 150 percent of the
poverty line applicable to a single individual,
as determined under section 673(2) of the
Community Services Block Grant Act (42 U.S.C.
9902(2)).
``(2) Exceptions.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
this subsection, if disclosure of any data under paragraph (1)
is prohibited under State or Federal privacy laws or
regulations, the Secretary shall take such steps as the
Secretary determines necessary to make publicly available such
data in accordance with such laws and regulations.''.
SEC. 4. WORKFORCE PELL GRANTS.
(a) In General.--Section 401 of the Higher Education Act of 1965
(20 U.S.C. 1070a), as amended by section 703 of the FAFSA
Simplification Act (title VII of division FF of Public Law 116-260), is
amended by adding at the end the following:
``(k) Workforce Pell Grants Program.--
``(1) In general.--For the award year beginning on July 1,
2024, and each subsequent award year, the Secretary shall award
grants (referred to as `Workforce Pell Grants') to eligible
students under paragraph (2) in accordance with this
subsection.
``(2) Eligible students.--For award year 2024-2025 and each
succeeding award year, to be eligible to receive a Workforce
Pell Grant under this subsection for any period of enrollment,
a student shall meet the eligibility requirements for a Federal
Pell Grant under this section, except that the student--
``(A) shall be enrolled, or accepted for
enrollment, in an eligible program described in section
481(b)(3); and
``(B) may not have received a postbaccalaureate
degree.
``(3) Terms and conditions of awards.--The Secretary shall
award Workforce Pell Grants under this subsection in the same
manner and with the same terms and conditions as the Secretary
awards Federal Pell Grants under subsection (b), except that a
student who is eligible for a grant equal to less than the
amount of the minimum Federal Pell Grant because the eligible
workforce development program in which the student is enrolled
or accepted for enrollment is less than an academic year (in
hours of instruction or weeks of duration) may still be
eligible for a Workforce Pell Grant.
``(4) Prevention of double benefits.--No eligible student
described in paragraph (2) may, for the same period of
enrollment, receive both a grant under this subsection and a
Federal Pell Grant under subsection (b).''.
(b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall
take effect as if included in section 703 of the FAFSA Simplification
Act (title VII of division FF of Public Law 116-260; 134 Stat. 3191)

1965 (20 U.S.C. 1099b(a)(4)) is amended--
(1) in subparagraph (A), by striking ``and'' at the end;
(2) in subparagraph (B)(ii), by inserting ``and'' at the
end; and
(3) by adding at the end the following:
``(C) if such agency or association has or seeks to include
within its scope of recognition the evaluation of the quality
of institutions offering an eligible program for purposes of
the Workforce Pell Grants program (in accordance with section
481(b)(3)), such agency or association shall, in addition to
meeting the other requirements of this subpart, demonstrate to
the Secretary that, with respect to such eligible programs--
``(i) the agency's or association's standards
include a process for determining if the institution
has the capability to effectively offer such an
eligible program; and
``(ii) the agency or association requires a
demonstration that the program--
``(I) satisfies the requirements of
subparagraph (A)(ii) of section 481(b)(3); and
``(II) provides academic content, an amount
of instructional time, and competencies to
satisfy any applicable educational requirement
so that a student who completes the program and
seeks employment is qualified to practice or
work in the sectors or occupations that the
program prepares students to enter;''.
(b) Additional NACIQI Review Meetings.--For the purpose of
preparing for the implementation of the Workforce Pell Grant program
under section 401(k) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as added by
section 4), in addition to the meetings required under section
114(d)(1) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1011c(d)(1)),
the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity
(as established by such section 114) shall, through 2025, hold meetings

section 2).
(c) Interim Accreditation Authority.--
(1) Notification.--Beginning on the date of enactment of
this Act, a qualified accrediting agency or association which
seeks to include within its scope of recognition the evaluation
of the quality of institutions offering eligible programs for
the purposes of the Workforce Pell Grants program, may include
within its scope of recognition the evaluation of such
institutions if the accrediting agency or association--
(A) submits to the Secretary a notification of the
agency's or association's intent to add the evaluation
of such institutions to its scope of recognition; and
(B) includes with such notification an explanation
of how the agency or association intends to meet the
criteria under section 496(a)(4)(C) of the Higher
Education Act of 1965 (as added by subsection (a)) with
respect to the evaluation of institutions for purposes
of the Workforce Pell Grants program.
(2) Review of scope of changes.--Upon receipt of a
notification from an accrediting agency or association under
paragraph (1), the Secretary shall direct the National Advisory
Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (as
established by section 114 of the Higher Education Act of 1965
(20 U.S.C. 1011c)) to evaluate, at the next available meeting
of such Committee, the addition to the scope of recognition of
the agency or association and to advise the Secretary with
respect to whether the agency or association meets the criteria
under section 496(a)(4)(C) of the Higher Education Act of 1965
(as added by subsection (a)).

scope of recognition the evaluation of the quality of
institutions offering an eligible program for purposes
of the Workforce Pell Grants program.

children and communities, and that educators and policymakers should

making decisions.''.

Under current law, crack cocaine offenders whose conduct triggered a mandatory minimum sentence are eligible for a retroactive sentencing reduction under the First Step Act. However, in 2021, the Supreme Court held in <i>Terry v. United States</i> that low-level crack cocaine offenders whose conduct did not trigger a mandatory minimum sentence are not eligible for a retroactive sentencing reduction under the First Step Act.</p> <p>This bill extends eligibility for a retroactive sentencing reduction under the First Step Act to all crack cocaine offenders convicted and sentenced before the Fair Sentencing Act became effective, including low-level offenders whose conduct did not trigger a mandatory minimum sentence. </p> | <html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress]

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mrs. Harshbarger (for herself and Mrs. Dingell) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and
Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a

committee concerned
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Controlled Substances Act to require registrants to
decline to fill certain suspicious orders, 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 ``Block, Report, And Suspend
Suspicious Shipments Act''.
SEC. 2. BLOCK, REPORT, AND SUSPEND SUSPICIOUS ORDERS.
(a) Clarification of Process for Registrants To Exercise Due
Diligence Upon Discovering a Suspicious Order.--Paragraph (3) of
section 312(a) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 832(a)) is
amended to read as follows:
``(3) upon discovering a suspicious order or series of
orders, and in a manner consistent with the other requirements
of this section--
``(A) exercise due diligence as appropriate;
``(B) establish and maintain (for not less than a
period to be determined by the Administrator of the
Drug Enforcement Administration) a record of the due
diligence that was performed;
``(C) decline to fill the order or series of orders
if the due diligence fails to dispel all of the
indicators that give rise to the suspicion that, if the
order or series of orders is filled, the drugs that are
the subject of the order or series of orders are likely
to be diverted; and
``(D) notify the Administrator of the Drug
Enforcement Administration and the Special Agent in
Charge of the Division Office of the Drug Enforcement
Administration for the area in which the registrant is
located or conducts business of--
``(i) each suspicious order or series of
orders discovered by the registrant; and
``(ii) the indicators giving rise to the
suspicion that, if the order or series of
orders is filled, the drugs that are the
subject of the order or series of orders are
likely to be diverted.''.
(b) Resolution of Suspicious Indicators.--Section 312 of the
Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 832) is amended--
(1) by redesignating subsections (b) and (c) as subsections
(c) and (d), respectively; and
(2) by inserting after subsection (a) the following:
``(b) Resolution of Suspicious Indicators.--If a registrant
resolves all of the indicators giving rise to suspicion about an order
or series of orders under subsection (a)(3)--
``(1) notwithstanding subsection (a)(3)(C), the registrant
may choose to fill the order or series of orders; and
``(2) notwithstanding subsection (a)(3)(D), the registrant
may choose not to make the notification otherwise required by
such subsection.''.
(c) Regulations.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment
of this Act, for purposes of subsections (a)(3) and (b) of section 312
of the Controlled Substances Act, as amended or inserted by subsection
(a), the Attorney General of the United States shall promulgate a final
regulation specifying the indicators that give rise to a suspicion
that, if an order or series of orders is filled, the drugs that are the
subject of the order or series of orders are likely to be diverted.
(d) Penalty.--Section 402(a)(5) of the Controlled Substances Act
(21 U.S.C. 842(a)(5)) is amended by inserting before the semicolon at

Specifically, the bill removes the requirement for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to issue the repayments with the last monthly housing stipend under the Post-9/11 GI Bill. This requirement has limited the repayments to individuals who are receiving stipends. Under the bill, the VA must make such a repayment before the exhaustion of the individual's entitlement to education assistance.</p> | <html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress]

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 506
To designate the Russian-based mercenary Wagner Group as a foreign
terrorist organization, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 25, 2023
Mr. Cohen (for himself, Mr. Wilson of South Carolina, Mr. Veasey, Mr.
Hudson, Mr. Lieu, Mr. Fitzpatrick, Mr. Gallego, Ms. Salazar, and Ms.
Kaptur) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To designate the Russian-based mercenary Wagner Group as a foreign
terrorist organization, 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 TITLES.
This Act may be cited as the ``Holding Accountable Russian
Mercenaries Act'' or the ``HARM Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Secretary of State's designation of an entity as a
foreign terrorist organization results from a determination
that--
(A) the entity is foreign and engages in terrorism
or terrorist activity; and
(B) the terrorist activity threatens the security
of the United States or its nationals.
(2) The activities of the Wagner Group and affiliated
entities of Russian national Yevgeniy Prigozhin pose a threat
to the national interests and national security of the United
States and allies and partners of the United States, including
with respect to Russia's war on Ukraine, which President Biden
declared, on March 2, 2022, ``pose[s] an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign
policy of the United States''.
(3) On June 20, 2017, the Department of the Treasury's
Office of Foreign Assets Control designated the Wagner Group
and its military leader, Dmitry Utkin, pursuant to Executive
Order 13660 (titled ``Blocking Property of Additional Certain
Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine'') ``for being
responsible for or complicit in, or having engaged in, directly
or indirectly, actions or policies that threaten the peace,
security, stability, sovereignty or territorial integrity of
Ukraine''.
(4) On September 20, 2018, the Department of State added
Yevgeniy Prigozhin and his affiliated entities, including the
Wagner Group, to the list of persons identified as part of, or
operating for or on behalf of, the defense or intelligence
sectors of the Government of the Russian Federation under
section 231 of the Countering America's Adversaries Through
Sanctions Act (22 U.S.C. 9525).
(5) On January 20, 2023, the White House announced it will
designate the Wagner Group a Transnational Criminal
Organization pursuant to the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706).
(6) The Wagner Group, a self-described private actor that
undertakes military action and subversive operations at the
behest of the Government of the Russian Federation, is a
``terrorist group'' that engages in ``terrorism'' (as defined
in section 140(d) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act,
Fiscal Year 1988 and 1989 (22 U.S.C. 2656f(d))), which is
``premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated
against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or
clandestine agents''.
(7) The Wagner Group and its affiliated entities have
committed, or are credibly accused of committing, terrorist
activity (as defined in section 212(a)(3)(B) of the Immigration
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3)(B))), through their
involvement in--
(A) the massacres, rape, and torture of civilians
in Bucha, Ukraine, in March 2022;
(B) the massacres in Moura, Mali, in March 2022;
(C) the massacres of migrant workers and civilians
in mining regions along the Sudan- Central African
Republic border in 2022;
(D) the murder of Russian journalists in the
Central African Republic in June 2018 as well as
threats against United States journalists investigating
such incident;
(E) the kidnapping of children in the Central
African Republic in 2022 to work in mines;
(F) the rape and sex trafficking of women and
children in the Central African Republic between 2018
and 2022;
(G) the sabotage and lethal suppression of civilian
protestors in Sudan in 2019;
(H) the use of nerve agents against Libya's
Government of National Accord and deployment of illegal
landmines and booby-traps in civilian areas of Tripoli
between 2019 and 2020;
(I) the torture and execution of a Syrian national
in June 2017;
(J) efforts to assassinate Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelensky in March 2022; and
(K) the receipt of weapons shipments initially
reported in December 2022 from the Democratic People's
Republic of North Korea, which the Secretary of State
had designated a state sponsor of terrorism on November
20, 2017.
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Russian-based mercenary Wagner Group meets the
criteria for designation by the Secretary of State as a foreign
terrorist organization under section 219(a) of the Immigration
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189(a)); and
(2) the Secretary of State should designate the Wagner
Group as a foreign terrorist organization under such section
219.
SEC. 4. DESIGNATION OF THE MERCENARY WAGNER GROUP AS A FOREIGN
TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
(a) In General.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall designate the
Wagner Group as a foreign terrorist organization in accordance with
section 219(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1189(a)).
(b) Application.--The designation required under subsection (a)
shall equally apply to any affiliated and successor entities to the
Wagner Group undertaking malign activities against the United States
and its allies and partners, including activities taking place in
Ukraine, Africa, and the Middle East.
(c) Waiver.--The President may waive the application of sanctions
under this section if the President determines and reports to the
appropriate congressional committees that such a waiver is in the
national security interest of the United States.
(d) Annual Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of the
enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, the Secretary of State
shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on
the international activities of the Russian-based mercenary Wagner
Group.
(e) Defined Term.--In this section, the term ``appropriate
congressional committees'' means--
(1) the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate;
(2) the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate;
(3) the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of
the Senate;
(4) the Committee on Financial Services of the House of
Representatives;
(5) the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives;
(6) the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of
Representatives; and
(7) the Committee on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives.

Mr. Crenshaw (for himself, Mr. Cuellar, and Mr. Duncan) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To provide procedures for appealing certain Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, and Explosives rulings or determinations, 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 ``ATF Accountability Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. PROCEDURES FOR APPEALING CERTAIN BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO,
FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES RULINGS OR DETERMINATIONS.
(a) In General.--Section 923 of title 18, United States Code, is
amended by adding at the end the following:
``(m)(1) If a licensed manufacturer, licensed importer, or licensed
dealer transmits to the Attorney General a product classification
request or a written question regarding any regulatory matter,
including but not limited to the legal status or classification of a
product, regulated business practice, or a recordkeeping practice,
under any law administered, in whole or in part, by the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Attorney General shall,
not later than 90 days after receipt of the request or question, make a
ruling or determination in writing on the question, and transmit the
ruling or determination to the licensee.
``(2)(A) Within 30 calendar days after receipt of a copy of the
ruling or determination, the licensee may appeal the ruling or
determination (or a cease and desist letter) by filing with any
Director of Industry Operations having jurisdiction over a premises of
the licensee subject to a license issued to the licensee under this
chapter a request for review of the ruling or determination, which
shall include a statement of the reasons for the appeal, and the relief
requested.
``(B) Within 30 calendar days after receipt of the request for the
appeal, the Director of Industry Operations shall render a decision on
the appeal in writing and transmit a copy of the decision to the
licensee.
``(3)(A) Notwithstanding whether the licensee appeals the ruling or
determination to the Director of Industry Operations, the licensee may,
within 75 calendar days after receipt of a copy of the initial ruling
or determination or, within 14 days after receipt of the determination
by the Director of Industry Operations, which ever is later, request
for the appeal to be determined on the record after opportunity for a
hearing before an administrative law judge. Upon such request the
administrative law judge shall--
``(i) set a time and place for a hearing on the appeal at a
location convenient to the licensee within 90 days from the
date of the request; and
``(ii) at least 10 days before the date set for the
hearing, serve on the licensee and the Director of Industry
Operations a notice of the hearing.
``(B) The hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the hearing
procedures prescribed in subsections (b) through (e) of section 556 and
section 557(d) of title 5.
``(C) Within 90 days after the conclusion of the hearing, the
administrative law judge shall--
``(i) render a decision on the appeal, which shall consist
of--
``(I) a brief statement of the issues of fact
involved in the proceeding;
``(II) the findings and conclusions of the
administrative law judge, and the reasons or basis
therefor with record references, on all material issues
of fact, law, or discretion presented on the record;
and
``(III) the decision of the administrative law
judge to reverse or affirm the ruling or determination
involved;
``(ii) certify to the complete record of the proceeding;
``(iii) forward the complete certified record and a copy of
the decision to the Director of Industry Operations;
``(iv) serve a copy of the decision on the licensee or
counsel for the licensee; and
``(v) transmit a copy of the decision to the attorney
representing the United States in the proceeding.
``(4) The decision of the administrative law judge or the Director
of Industry Operations, or the ruling of another officer or employee of
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, as the case
may be, pursuant to this subsection shall--
``(A) constitute final agency action;
``(B) be subject to judicial review under chapter 7 of
title 5; and
``(C) be binding on the United States and the licensee.
``(5) The submission of an administrative appeal pursuant to
paragraph (2) or (3) shall postpone the effective date of the ruling or
determination until the administrative appeal and any subsequent
judicial process is complete. The effect shall be as if the ruling or
determination had not issued until such process is complete.''.
(b) Applicability.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall
apply with respect to determinations made before, on, or after the date
of enactment of this Act.

1088 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following:
``SEC. 494A. PROHIBITION ON CLASS-BASED LOAN FORGIVENESS WITHOUT PROPER
APPROVAL.
``(a) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) Class-based loan forgiveness.--
``(A) In general.--The term `class-based loan
forgiveness' means the cancellation, waiver,
assumption, discharge, reduction, or other forgiveness
of any obligation due on covered loans--
``(i) on a class-wide basis and for a class
of 2 or more covered loan borrowers; and
``(ii) that totals more than $1,000,000.
``(B) Exception for existing targeted loan
forgiveness programs.--The term `class-based loan
forgiveness' does not include a targeted program of
loan forgiveness explicitly established under this Act
and in effect before January 1, 2022, if the
cancellation, waiver, assumption, discharge, reduction,
or other forgiveness of any obligation due on a covered
loan is--
``(i) granted for a single covered loan
borrower; and
``(ii) based upon an individualized, case-
by-case determination of the covered loan
borrower's--
``(I) eligibility for the targeted
loan forgiveness; and
``(II) satisfaction of all terms
and conditions precedent to receive the
targeted loan forgiveness.
``(2) Covered loan.--The term `covered loan' means a loan
made, insured, or guaranteed under part B, D, or E.
``(b) Limitation on Department Authority.--Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Act or any other law, the Secretary shall have
no authority to provide class-based loan forgiveness unless funds have
been specifically requested and appropriated for the purpose through
the process described in subsection (c).
``(c) Request and Appropriation Process.--
``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall not provide any
class-based loan forgiveness until--
``(A) the Secretary has submitted a request under
paragraph (2); and
``(B) funds have been specifically appropriated for
such request by Congress through an appropriations Act
or other law.
``(2) Request.--In any case where the Secretary determines
class-based loan forgiveness is necessary, the Secretary shall
submit to the authorizing committees, the Committee on
Appropriations of the Senate, and the Committee on
Appropriations of the House of Representatives a written
request that describes--
``(A) the number of covered loan borrowers in the
class and the aggregate amount of the covered student
loan obligations that will be cancelled, waived,
assumed, discharged, reduced, or otherwise forgiven
through the class-based loan forgiveness;
``(B) the particular reason for the class-based
loan forgiveness;
``(C) the legal authority, including the
identification of any authorizing statute or rule, of
the Department to grant such class-based loan
forgiveness; and
``(D) the particular reason the student loan
obligations are being cancelled, waived, assumed,
discharged, reduced, or otherwise forgiven on a
collective basis, rather than through a case-by-case
assessment.
``(3) Resubmission of request.--If funds for a class-based
loan forgiveness request submitted under paragraph (2) are not
specifically appropriated under an appropriations Act or other
law during the fiscal year for which the request is submitted--
``(A) the request shall expire; and
``(B) if the Secretary desires the request to be
reconsidered in a future fiscal year, the Secretary
shall resubmit the request for such fiscal year.''.

local election official.
``(4) The State or jurisdiction does not deliver an
absentee or other mail-in ballot to any individual who does not
request the delivery of such a ballot.
``(5) The State or jurisdiction does not permit any
individual who is not a citizen of the United States to

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Defense Production Act of 1950 to prevent harm and
disruption to the United States agriculture industry by protecting
against foreign influence over agriculture production and supply
chains, 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 ``Foreign Adversary Risk Management
Act'' or the ``FARM Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) United States agriculture and supply chains are
critical to United States economic success and prosperity, and
should each be classified as critical infrastructure and
critical technologies.
(2) Agriculture is the lifeblood that helps to feed United
States families nationwide. As such, food security is a matter
of national security and should be a top priority of the United
States.
(3) To prevent harm to the United States public health
sector and to prevent disruption to the United States economy
and food supply chains, the increasing influence foreign
countries may have on the United States agriculture industry
and agriculture supply chains should be mitigated.
SEC. 3. UNITED STATES AGRICULTURE INCLUDED IN COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN
INVESTMENT IN THE UNITED STATES.

Production Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 4565(k)(2)) is amended--

subparagraph (B)(vi) that is proposed, pending,
or completed on or after the date of the
enactment of the Foreign Adversary Risk
Management Act.''; and
(2) in subparagraph (B), by adding at the end the
following:

engaged in agriculture and uses agricultural
products (as defined in the first section of

725; 7 U.S.C. 451)).''.
(c) Agricultural Supply Chains Included in Critical
Infrastructure.--Section 721(a)(5) of the Defense Production Act of
1950 (50 U.S.C. 4565(a)(5)) is amended--

(3) by adding at the end the following:
``(ii) includes, subject to regulations
prescribed by the Committee, agricultural

AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY.
Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act
and annually thereafter, the Secretary of Agriculture and the
Comptroller General of the United States shall each--
(1) conduct an analysis of foreign influence in the United
States agriculture industry; and
(2) submit to Congress a report that includes a summary
of--
(A) foreign investments in the United States

H. R. 521
To guarantee the right of individuals to receive Social Security
benefits under title II of the Social Security Act in full with an
accurate annual cost-of-living adjustment.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 25, 2023
Mr. Mooney (for himself and Mr. LaMalfa) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To guarantee the right of individuals to receive Social Security
benefits under title II of the Social Security Act in full with an
accurate annual cost-of-living adjustment.
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 ``Social Security Guarantee Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. GUARANTEE OF FULL SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS WITH ACCURATE ANNUAL
COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENT.
(a) In General.--On a date not later than 90 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury shall issue a
benefit guarantee certificate to each individual who is determined by
the Commissioner of Social Security as of such date to be entitled to
benefits under title II of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 401 et
seq.). The Secretary shall also issue such a certificate to any
individual on the date such individual is determined thereafter to be
entitled to benefits under such title.
(b) Benefit Guarantee Certificate.--The benefit guarantee
certificate issued pursuant to subsection (a) shall represent a legally
enforceable guarantee--
(1) of the monthly amount of benefits to which the
individual is entitled under title II of the Social Security
Act (as in effect on the date of the issuance of the
certificate); and
(2) that the benefits will be adjusted--
(A) not less frequently than annually on the basis
of an accurate determination of the increase in the
cost-of-living of the individual; and
(B) in accordance with such title (as so in
effect), to reflect any future changes in the
eligibility status of the individual under such title.
(c) Entitlement.--Any certificate issued under the authority of
this section constitutes budget authority in advance of appropriations
Acts and represents the obligation of the Federal Government to provide
for the payment to the individual to whom the certificate is issued
benefits under title II of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 401 et
seq.) in the amounts set forth in the certificate and adjusted
thereafter as described in subsection (b)(2).

1st Session
H. R. 528
To direct the Attorney General to study issues relating to human
trafficking, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 25, 2023
Mrs. Wagner (for herself, Ms. Kamlager-Dove, and Mr. Fitzpatrick)
introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Education and the
Workforce, 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 direct the Attorney General to study issues relating to human
trafficking, 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 ``Put Trafficking Victims First Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. TRAINING FOR PROSECUTIONS OF TRAFFICKERS AND SUPPORT FOR STATE
SERVICES FOR VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING.
It is the sense of Congress that a portion of the funds available
for training and technical assistance under section 107(b)(2)(B)(ii) of
the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (22
U.S.C. 7105(b)(2)(B)(ii)) should be devoted to advancing the following
goals:
(1) Increasing the personal safety of victim service
providers, who may face intimidation or retaliation for their
activities.
(2) Promoting a trauma-informed, evidence-based, and
victim-centered approach to the provision of services for
victims of trafficking.
(3) Ensuring that law enforcement officers and prosecutors
make every attempt to determine whether an individual is a
victim of human trafficking before arresting the individual
for, or charging the individual with, an offense that is a
direct result of the victimization of the individual.
(4) Effectively prosecuting traffickers and individuals who
patronize or solicit children for sex, and facilitating access
for child victims of commercial sex trafficking to the services
and protections afforded to other victims of sexual violence.
(5) Encouraging States to improve efforts to identify and
meet the needs of human trafficking victims, including through
internet outreach and other methods that are responsive to the
needs of victims in their communities.
(6) Ensuring victims of trafficking, including United
States citizens, lawful permanent residents, and foreign
nationals are eligible for services.
SEC. 3. WORKING TO DEVELOP METHODOLOGIES TO ASSESS PREVALENCE OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING.
(a) Working Group.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 1 year after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Attorney General, in consultation
with other Federal entities engaged in efforts to combat human
trafficking, shall establish an expert working group, which
shall include survivors of human trafficking, experts on sex
and labor trafficking, representatives from organizations
collecting data on human trafficking, and law enforcement
officers. The working group shall, utilizing, to the extent
practicable, existing efforts of agencies, task forces, States,
localities, Tribes, research institutions, and organizations--
(A) identify barriers to the collection of data on
the incidence of sex and labor trafficking; and
(B) recommend practices to promote better data
collection and analysis.
(2) Pilot testing.--Not later than 3 years after the date
of enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall implement
a pilot project to test promising methodologies studied under
paragraph (1).
(b) Report.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 3 years after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Attorney General, in consultation
with the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Health and Human
Services, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director
of the Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center, shall submit to
Congress a report on--
(A) Federal efforts to estimate the prevalence of
human trafficking at the national and regional levels;
(B) the effectiveness of current policies and
procedures to address the needs of victims of
trafficking; and
(C) an analysis of demographic characteristics of
victims of trafficking in different regions of the
United States and recommendations for how to address
the unique vulnerabilities of different victims.
(2) Input from relevant parties.--In developing the report
under paragraph (1), the Attorney General shall seek input from
the United States Advisory Council on Human Trafficking,
victims of trafficking, human trafficking survivor advocates,
service providers for victims of sex and labor trafficking, and
the President's Interagency Task Force on Human Trafficking.
(c) Survey.--Not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of
this Act, the Attorney General, in coordination with Federal, State,
local, and Tribal governments, and private organizations, including
victim service providers and expert researchers, shall develop and
execute a survey of survivors seeking and receiving victim assistance
services for the purpose of improving the provision of services to
human trafficking victims and victim identification in the United
States. Survey results shall be made publicly available on the website
of the Department of Justice.
(d) No Additional Funds.--No additional funds are authorized to
carry out this section.
SEC. 4. REPORT ON PROSECUTORS SEEKING RESTITUTION IN TRAFFICKING CASES.
Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the
Attorney General, in consultation with the Administrative Office of the
United States Courts, shall submit to Congress a report on efforts to
increase restitution to victims of human trafficking.
SEC. 5. SENSE OF CONGRESS ENCOURAGING STATES TO ADOPT PROTECTIONS FOR
VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING.
Congress recognizes and applauds the State legislative bodies that
have taken tremendous steps to adopt protections and services for
victims of trafficking. Congress encourages States to--
(1) uphold the dignity of human trafficking survivors;
(2) ensure the safety, confidentiality, and well-being of
victims of trafficking, while recognizing symptoms of trauma
and coping mechanisms that may impact victims' interactions
with law enforcement, the justice system, and service
providers;
(3) implement screening mechanisms to identify and extend
appropriate services to children in the custody of child
protective services agencies, the juvenile justice system, or
the criminal justice system who are victims of trafficking;
(4) promote greater access to child welfare services for,
rather than criminalization of, child victims of sex
trafficking;
(5) develop a 24-hour emergency response plan by which
victims of human trafficking may receive immediate protection,
shelter, and support from a victim assistance coordinator when
those victims are first identified;
(6) adopt protections for adult victims of trafficking,
such as protection if the victim's safety is at risk,
comprehensive trauma-informed, long-term, culturally competent
care and healing services, mental health services to relieve
traumatic stress, housing, education (including, where
appropriate, vocational training and employment assistance),
mentoring, language assistance, drug and substance abuse
services, and legal services;
(7) ensure that child sex trafficking victims are treated
as children in need of child protective services and receive
appropriate care in the child welfare, rather than juvenile
justice, system;
(8) encourage the adoption of procedures for human
trafficking victims that are consistent with those afforded to
victims of sexual assault, rape, child sexual abuse, or incest
to allow human trafficking victims to clear records, expunge
convictions, and vacate adjudications related to prostitution
and nonviolent offenses that arose as a direct result of being
trafficked, including protections for foreign nationals who are
being removed and those who are losing or determined to be
inadmissible for immigration benefits as a result of the
aforementioned human trafficking victim related conviction or
arrest; and
(9) ensure victims of trafficking, including United States
citizens, lawful permanent residents, and foreign nationals are
eligible for services.

which is a defendant in such action.

stepping down in 1961 to focus on practicing law.
(6) In 1971, Judge Murphy was appointed by Governor Jimmy
Carter to the Superior Court for the Tallapoosa Judicial
Circuit, and following his election in 1976, President Carter
nominated Judge Murphy to the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Georgia.
(7) Judge Murphy was confirmed by the United States Senate
on July 28, 1977.
(8) For 45 years, he served his country on the Federal
bench and became an acclaimed jurist and legal icon with a
stellar reputation that extended far beyond Georgia.
(9) He always displayed a quick wit and a keen sense of
humor, was kind and empathetic, and treated all those who
appeared before him with courtesy and respect.
(10) Judge Murphy worked tirelessly and carried a full
docket until the age of 90, when he took senior judge status in
the Northern District of Georgia.
(11) He continued to preside over cases until his death on
December 28, 2022.
(12) Judge Murphy received many professional awards and
recognitions, including from the State Bar of Georgia and the
University of Georgia School of Law.
(13) In 2014, Alabama State University renamed its graduate
school after Judge Murphy in recognition of his landmark ruling
in Knight v. Alabama, a long-running case that the Eleventh
Circuit Court of Appeals asked him to handle involving the
vestiges of racial segregation then present in the Alabama
University System.
(14) Above all else, Judge Murphy was a loving and devoted
husband and father--and a strong role model.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 533
To amend the Tibetan Policy Act of 2002 to modify certain provisions of
that Act.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 26, 2023
Mr. McGovern (for himself and Mr. McCaul) introduced the following
bill; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Tibetan Policy Act of 2002 to modify certain provisions of
that Act.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-
China Conflict Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) It has been the long-standing policy of the United
States to encourage meaningful and direct dialogue between
People's Republic of China authorities and the Dalai Lama or
his representatives, without preconditions, to seek a
settlement that resolves differences.
(2) Ten rounds of dialogue held between 2002 and 2010
between the People's Republic of China authorities and the 14th
Dalai Lama's representatives failed to produce a settlement
that resolved differences, and the two sides have not met since
January 2010.
(3) An obstacle to further dialogue is that the Government
of the People's Republic of China continues to impose
conditions on His Holiness the Dalai Lama for a resumption of
dialogue, including a demand that he say that Tibet has been
part of China since ancient times, which the Dalai Lama has
refused to do because it is false.
(4) United States Government statements that the United
States considers Tibet a part of the People's Republic of China
have reflected the reality on the ground that the Government of
the People's Republic of China has exerted effective control
over Tibet.
(5) The United States Government has never taken the
position that Tibet was a part of China since ancient times or
that the means by which the Government of the People's Republic
of China came to exert effective control over Tibet was
consistent with international law or included the free or
meaningful consent of the Tibetan people.
(6) United States Government documents dated January 9,
1919, June 1, 1944, June 17, 1949, April 4, 1951, December 3,
1951, March 23, 1961, and February 14, 1963, listed Tibet as an
entity separate and distinct from China.
(7) Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights and Article 1 the International Covenant on
Economic, Social and Cultural Rights provide that ``All peoples
have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right
they freely determine their political status and freely pursue
their economic, social and cultural development.''.
(8) Under international law, including United Nations
General Assembly Resolution 2625, the right to self-
determination is the right of a people to determine its own
destiny and the exercise of this right can result in a variety
of outcomes ranging from independence, federation, protection,
some form of autonomy or full integration within a State.
(9) United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1723,
adopted on December 20, 1961, called for the ``cessation of
practices which deprive the Tibetan people of their fundamental
human rights and freedoms, including their right to self-
determination.''.
(10) In a December 30, 1950, note to the Governments of the
United Kingdom and India, the Department of State wrote that
``The United States, which was one of the early supporters of
the principle of self-determination of peoples, believes that
the Tibetan people has the same inherent right as any other to
have the determining voice in its political destiny. It is
believed further that, should developments warrant,
consideration could be given to recognition of Tibet as an
independent State.''.
(11) In a June 2, 1951, telegram to the United States
Embassy in New Delhi, the State Department wrote that Tibet
should not ``be compelled by duress [to] accept [the] violation
[of] its autonomy'' and that the Tibetan people should ``enjoy
certain rights [of] self-determination, commensurate with [the]
autonomy Tibet has maintained since [the] Chinese
revolution.''.
(12) Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in a May 26, 2022,
speech entitled ``The Administration's Approach to the People's
Republic of China,'' said that the rules-based international
order's ``founding documents include the UN Charter and the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which enshrined concepts
like self-determination, sovereignty, the peaceful settlement
of disputes. These are not Western constructs. They are
reflections of the world's shared aspirations.''.
(13) The Tibetan Policy Act of 2002 (22 U.S.C. 6901 note),
in directing the United States Government ``to promote the
human rights and distinct religious, cultural, linguistic, and
historical identity of the Tibetan people'' acknowledges that
the Tibetan people possess a distinct religious, cultural,
linguistic, and historical identity.
(14) Department of State reports on human rights and
religious freedom have consistently documented repression by
the People's Republic of China authorities against Tibetans as
well as acts of defiance and resistance by Tibetan people
against the People's Republic of China policies.
(15) Section 355 of the Foreign Relations Authorization
Act, Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993 (Public Law 102-138; 105 Stat.
713) stated that it is the sense of Congress that--
(A) ``Tibet, including those areas incorporated
into the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu,
and Qinghai, is an occupied country under the
established principles of international law'';
(B) ``Tibet's true representatives are the Dalai
Lama and the Tibetan Government in exile as recognized
by the Tibetan people'';
(C) ``Tibet has maintained throughout its history a
distinctive and sovereign national, cultural, and
religious identity separate from that of China and,
except during periods of illegal Chinese occupation,
has maintained a separate and sovereign political and
territorial identity'';
(D) ``historical evidence of this separate identity
may be found in Chinese archival documents and
traditional dynastic histories, in United States
recognition of Tibetan neutrality during World War II,
and in the fact that a number of countries including
the United States, Mongolia, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal,
India, Japan, Great Britain, and Russia recognized
Tibet as an independent nation or dealt with Tibet
independently of any Chinese government'';
(E) ``1949-1950, China launched an armed invasion
of Tibet in contravention of international law'';
(F) ``it is the policy of the United States to
oppose aggression and other illegal uses of force by
one country against the sovereignty of another as a
manner of acquiring territory, and to condemn
violations of international law, including the illegal
occupation of one country by another''; and
(G) ``numerous United States declarations since the
Chinese invasion have recognized Tibet's right to self-
determination and the illegality of China's occupation
of Tibet.''.
(16) The joint explanatory statement to accompany division
K of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-
328) states that ``Funds appropriated by the Act shall not be
used to produce or disseminate documents, maps, or other
materials that recognize or identify Tibet, including the Tibet
Autonomous Region and other Tibetan autonomous counties and
prefectures, as part of the PRC until the Secretary of State
reports to the appropriate congressional committees that the
Government of the PRC has reached a final negotiated agreement
on Tibet with the Dalai Lama or his representatives or with
democratically elected leaders of the Tibetan people.''.
SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.
It is the policy of the United States that--
(1) the Tibetan people are a people entitled to the right
of self-determination under international law, including the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the
International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
and that their ability to exercise this right is precluded by
the current policies of the People's Republic of China; and
(2) the conflict between Tibet and the People's Republic of
China is unresolved, and that the legal status of Tibet remains
to be determined in accordance with international law.
SEC. 4. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) claims made by officials of the People's Republic of
China and the Chinese Communist Party that Tibet has been a
part of China since ancient times are historically false;
(2) the Government of the People's Republic of China has
failed to meet the expectations of the United States to engage
in meaningful dialogue with the Dalai Lama or his
representatives toward a peaceful settlement of the unresolved
conflict between Tibet and the People's Republic of China; and
(3) United States public diplomacy efforts should counter
disinformation about Tibet from the Government of the People's
Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party, including
disinformation about the history of Tibet, the Tibetan people,
and Tibetan institutions including that of the Dalai Lama.
SEC. 5. MODIFICATIONS TO THE TIBETAN POLICY ACT OF 2002.
(a) Tibet Negotiations.--Section 613(b) of the Tibetan Policy Act
of 2002 (22 U.S.C. 6901 note) is amended--
(1) in paragraph (1), by striking ``and'' at the end;
(2) in paragraph (2), by striking the period at the end and
inserting ``; and''; and
(3) by adding at the end the following:
``(3) efforts to counter disinformation about Tibet from
the Government of the People's Republic of China and the
Chinese Communist Party, including disinformation about the
history of Tibet, the Tibetan people, and Tibetan institutions
including that of the Dalai Lama.''.
(b) United States Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues.--Section
621(d) of the Tibetan Policy Act of 2002 (22 U.S.C. 6901 note) is
amended--
(1) by redesignating paragraphs (6), (7), and (8) as
paragraphs (7), (8), and (9), respectively; and
(2) by inserting after paragraph (5) the following:
``(6) work to ensure that United States Government
statements and documents counter, as appropriate,
disinformation about Tibet from the Government of the People's
Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party, including
disinformation about the history of Tibet, the Tibetan people,
and Tibetan institutions including that of the Dalai Lama;''.
(c) Geographic Definition of Tibet.--The Tibetan Policy Act of 2002
(22 U.S.C. 6901 note) is amended by adding at the end the following:
``SEC. 622. GEOGRAPHIC DEFINITION OF TIBET.
``In this Act and in implementing policies relating to the Tibetan
people under other provisions of law, the term `Tibet', unless
otherwise specified, means--
``(1) the Tibet Autonomous Region; and
``(2) the Tibetan areas of Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, and
Yunnan provinces.''.
SEC. 6. AVAILABILITY OF AMOUNTS TO COUNTER DISINFORMATION ABOUT TIBET.
Amounts authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available
to carry out section 201(c) of the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act of
2018 (22 U.S.C. 2292 et seq.) are authorized to be made available to
counter disinformation about Tibet from the Government of the People's
Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party, including
disinformation about the history of Tibet, the Tibetan people, and
Tibetan institutions including that of the Dalai Lama.

A BILL
To award a Congressional Gold Medal to 60 diplomats, in recognition of

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

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Forgotten Heroes of the Holocaust

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

(1) The following diplomats will be honored posthumously:
Per Anger (Sweden), Jose Maria Barreto (Peru), Lars Berg
(Sweden), Philippe Bernardini (Vatican / Italy), Hiram (Harry)
Bingham IV (United States), Friedrich Born (Switzerland),

Rokicki (Poland), Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli (Vatican / Italy),
Angelo Rotta (Vatican / Italy), Albert Emile Routier (Turkey),
Stefan Ryniewicz (Poland), Gilberto Bosques Saldivar (Mexico),
Jose Ruiz Santaella (Spain), Angel Sanz-Briz (Spain), Abdol-
Hossein Sardari (Iran), Henryk Slawik (Poland), Robert
Smallbones (United Kingdom), Jan Spisiak (Slovakia), Chiune
(Sempo) Sugihara (Japan), Ireanaeus Typaldos (Spain), Alexander

(2) On September 1, 1939, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis began
their invasion of Europe, which started World War II and threw
the world into chaos. The Nazi plan of mass murder of the
Jewish population was in full motion. As battles were being
fought between countries, Jews were being rounded up and sent
to concentration camps throughout Europe. This process began a
mass exodus of people out of Europe, especially those in the
Jewish community.
(3) During the war, members of the Jewish community used
every tool and means at their disposal to flee Nazi tyranny.
Thousands tried to flee on trains or boats to escape from
Europe.
(4) While the armies of countries were fighting each other,
a handful of diplomats, from around the world, stepped forward
and took heroic actions to save Jews fleeing Europe. This was
an incredibly dangerous process. If the Nazis discovered the
actions of these diplomats they would be expelled, as a few of
them were. Also, while worrying about the Nazis, diplomats had
to worry about their careers and livelihoods back home. Many of
them had strict orders from their home countries to not aid the
Jewish population in any way.
(5) These diplomats used every means at their disposal to
help Jews fleeing persecution. One of the most powerful tools
the diplomats had to use was the issuing of passports and
travel visas contrary to the instruction of the governments of
the diplomats. This process alone is responsible for saving
hundreds of thousands of Jewish families in Europe. This was
not the only tool used as many of the diplomats were connected
with the local populations and were great communicators for
Jews trying to travel underground. They were able set up
safehouses and getaways to hide Jews and especially Jewish
children from Nazi authorities. In the most dangerous of times,
several of these diplomats confronted the Nazis directly on
behalf of the Jews and personally put themselves in grave
danger.
(6) Every diplomat knew the dangers and knew what they were
up against, and still pushed forward to save those in the most
danger.
(7) The Congressional Gold Medal authorized under this Act
will help remind humanity that when the diplomats were faced
with terrible crises, they went beyond the fold, including
risking their careers and the lives of themselves and their
families, to engage in this humanitarian mission. The diplomats
of today and future generations can look towards these heroes
and be inspired by their lives of heroism and sacrifice.
SEC. 3. CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL.
(a) Presentation Authorized.--The Speaker of the House of
Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate shall make
appropriate arrangements for the presentation, on behalf of Congress,

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 538
To require the disclosure of a camera or recording capability in
certain internet-connected devices.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 26, 2023
Mr. Curtis (for himself and Mr. Moulton) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require the disclosure of a camera or recording capability in
certain internet-connected devices.
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 ``Informing Consumers about Smart
Devices Act''.
SEC. 2. REQUIRED DISCLOSURE OF A CAMERA OR RECORDING CAPABILITY IN
CERTAIN INTERNET-CONNECTED DEVICES.
Each manufacturer of a covered device shall disclose whether the
covered device manufactured by the manufacturer contains a camera or
microphone as a component of the covered device.
SEC. 3. ENFORCEMENT BY THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION.
(a) Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices.--A violation of section
2 shall be treated as a violation of a rule defining an unfair or
deceptive act or practice prescribed under section 18(a)(1)(B) of the
Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 57a(a)(1)(B)).
(b) Actions by the Commission.--
(1) In general.--The Federal Trade Commission shall enforce
this Act in the same manner, by the same means, and with the
same jurisdiction, powers, and duties as though all applicable
terms and provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15
U.S.C. 41 et seq.) were incorporated into and made a part of
this Act.
(2) Penalties and privileges.--Any person who violates this
Act or a regulation promulgated under this Act shall be subject
to the penalties and entitled to the privileges and immunities
provided in the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et
seq.).
(c) Commission Guidance.--Not later than 180 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Commission, through outreach to relevant
private entities, shall issue guidance to assist manufacturers in
complying with the requirements of this Act, including guidance about
best practices for making the disclosure required by section 2 as clear
and conspicuous as practicable.
(d) Tailored Guidance.--A manufacturer of a covered device may
petition the Commission, in a manner consistent with the rules of the
Commission, for tailored guidance as to how to meet the requirements of
section 2.
(e) Limitation on Commission Guidance.--No guidance issued by the
Commission with respect to this Act shall confer any rights on any
person, State, or locality, nor shall operate to bind the Commission or
any person to the approach recommended in such guidance. In any
enforcement action brought pursuant to this Act, the Commission shall
allege a specific violation of a provision of this Act. The Commission
may not base an enforcement action on, or execute a consent order based
on, practices that are alleged to be inconsistent with any such
guidelines, unless the Commission determines such practices expressly
violate section 2.
SEC. 4. DEFINITION OF COVERED DEVICE.
As used in this Act, the term ``covered device''--
(1) means a consumer product, as defined by section 3(a) of
the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2052(a)) that is
capable of connecting to the internet, a component of which is
a camera or microphone; and
(2) does not include--
(A) a telephone (including a mobile phone), a
laptop, tablet, or any device that a consumer would
reasonably expect to have a microphone or camera;
(B) any device that is specifically marketed as a
camera, telecommunications device, or microphone; or
(C) any device or apparatus described in sections
255, 716, and 718, and subsections (aa) and (bb) of
section 303 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47
U.S.C. 255; 617; 619; and 303(aa) and (bb)), and any
regulations promulgated thereunder.
SEC. 5. EFFECTIVE DATE.
This Act shall apply to all covered devices manufactured after the
date that is 180 days after the date on which guidance is issued by the
Commission under section 3(c), and shall not apply to covered devices
manufactured or sold before such date, or otherwise introduced into
interstate commerce before such date.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 540
To require the Secretary of the Treasury to pursue more equitable
treatment of Taiwan at the international financial institutions, and
for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 26, 2023
Mrs. Kim of California (for herself and Mr. Green of Texas) introduced
the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Financial
Services
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require the Secretary of the Treasury to pursue more equitable
treatment of Taiwan at the international financial institutions, 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 ``Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds as follows:
(1) As enshrined in its Articles of Agreement, the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) is devoted to promoting
international monetary cooperation, facilitating the expansion
and balanced growth of international trade, encouraging
exchange stability, and avoiding competitive exchange
depreciation.
(2) Taiwan is the 21st largest economy in the world and the
10th largest goods trading partner of the United States.
(3) Although Taiwan is not an IMF member, it is a member of
the World Trade Organization, the Asian Development Bank, and
the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.
(4) According to the January 2020 Report on Macroeconomic
and Foreign Exchange Policies of Major Trading Partners of the
United States, published by the Department of the Treasury,
Taiwan held $471,900,000,000 in foreign exchange reserves, more
than major economies such as India, South Korea, and Brazil.
(5) According to section 4(d) of the Taiwan Relations Act
(Public Law 96-8), enacted on April 10, 1979, ``Nothing in this
Act may be construed as a basis for supporting the exclusion or
expulsion of Taiwan from continued membership in any
international financial institution or any other international
organization.''.
(6) Taiwan held membership in the IMF for 9 years following
the recognition of the People's Republic of China (PRC) by the
United Nations, and 16 Taiwan staff members at the Fund were
allowed to continue their employment after the PRC was seated
at the IMF in 1980. As James M. Boughton has noted in his
Silent Revolution: The International Monetary Fund 1979-1989,
even as the PRC was seated, the United States Executive
Director to the IMF, Sam Y. Cross, expressed support on behalf
of the United States Government for ``some kind of association
between Taiwan and the Fund''.
(7) On September 27, 1994, in testimony before the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations regarding the 1994 Taiwan Policy
Review, then-Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and
Pacific Affairs Winston Lord stated: ``Recognizing Taiwan's
important role in transnational issues, we will support its
membership in organizations where statehood is not a
prerequisite, and we will support opportunities for Taiwan's
voice to be heard in organizations where its membership is not
possible.''.
(8) The Congress has repeatedly reaffirmed support for this
policy, including in Public Laws 107-10, 107-158, 108-28, 108-
235, 113-17, and 114-139, and the unanimous House and Senate
passage of the Taiwan Allies International Protection and
Enhancement Initiative (TAIPEI) Act of 2019.
(9) In its fact sheet, entitled ``U.S. Relations with
Taiwan'', published on August 31, 2018, the Department of State
asserts: ``The United States supports Taiwan's membership in
international organizations that do not require statehood as a
condition of membership and encourages Taiwan's meaningful
participation in international organizations where its
membership is not possible.''.
(10) According to the Articles of Agreement of the IMF,
``membership shall be open to other countries'', subject to
conditions prescribed by the Board of Governors of the IMF.
(11) In the IMF publication ``Membership and Nonmembership
in the International Monetary Fund: A Study in International
Law and Organization'', Joseph Gold, the then-General Counsel
and Director of the Legal Department of the IMF, elaborated on
the differences between the terms ``countries'' and ``states'',
noting that ``the word `country' may have been adopted because
of the absence of agreement on the definition of a `state'''
and, with respect to the use of ``countries'' and applications
for IMF membership, ``the absence of any adjective in the
Articles emphasizes the breadth of the discretion that the Fund
may exercise in admitting countries to membership''. According
to Mr. Gold, ``the desire to give the Fund flexibility in
dealing with applications may explain not only the absence of
any adjective that qualifies `countries' but also the choice of
that word itself''.
(12) In his IMF study, Mr. Gold further observes, ``in the
practice of the Fund the concepts of independence and
sovereignty have been avoided on the whole as a mode of
expressing a criterion for membership in the Fund''. He
continues, ``Although the Fund usually takes into account the
recognition or nonrecognition of an entity as a state, there
are no rules or even informal understandings on the extent to
which an applicant must have been recognized by members or
other international organizations before the Fund will regard
it as eligible for membership.''. In fact, when considering an
application for membership where the status of an applicant may
not be resolved, Mr. Gold writes ``there have been occasions on
which the Fund has made a finding before decisions had been
taken by the United Nations or by most members or by members
with a majority of the total voting power.'' Mr. Gold
concludes, ``the Fund makes its own findings on whether an
applicant is a `country', and makes them solely for its own
purposes.''.
(13) Although not a member state of the United Nations, the
Republic of Kosovo is a member of both the IMF and the World
Bank, having joined both organizations on June 29, 2009.
(14) On October 26, 2021, Secretary of State Antony Blinken
issued a statement in support of Taiwan's ``robust, meaningful
participation'' in the United Nations system, which includes
the IMF, the World Bank, and other specialized United Nations
agencies. Secretary of State Blinken noted, ``As the
international community faces an unprecedented number of
complex and global issues, it is critical for all stakeholders
to help address these problems. This includes the 24 million
people who live in Taiwan. Taiwan's meaningful participation in
the UN system is not a political issue, but a pragmatic one.''.
He continued, ``Taiwan's exclusion undermines the important
work of the UN and its related bodies, all of which stand to
benefit greatly from its contributions.''.
SEC. 3. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.
It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the size, significance, and connectedness of the
Taiwanese economy highlight the importance of greater
participation by Taiwan in the International Monetary Fund,
given the purposes of the Fund articulated in its Articles of
Agreement; and
(2) the experience of Taiwan in developing a vibrant and
advanced economy under democratic governance and the rule of
law should inform the work of the international financial
institutions, including through increased participation by
Taiwan in the institutions.
SEC. 4. SUPPORT FOR TAIWAN ADMISSION TO THE IMF.
(a) In General.--The United States Governor of the International
Monetary Fund (in this section referred to as the ``Fund'') shall use
the voice and vote of the United States to vigorously support--
(1) the admission of Taiwan as a member of the Fund;
(2) participation by Taiwan in regular surveillance
activities of the Fund with respect to the economic and
financial policies of Taiwan, consistent with Article IV
consultation procedures of the Fund;
(3) employment opportunities for Taiwan nationals, without
regard to any consideration that, in the determination of the
United States Governor, does not generally restrict the
employment of nationals of member countries of the Fund; and
(4) the ability of Taiwan to receive appropriate technical
assistance and training by the Fund.
(b) Waiver.--The Secretary of the Treasury may waive any
requirement of subsection (a) for 1 year at a time on reporting to
Congress that providing the waiver will substantially promote the
objective of securing the meaningful participation of Taiwan at each
international financial institution (as defined in section 1701(c)(2)
of the International Financial Institutions Act).
(c) Sunset.--This section shall have no force or effect on the
earlier of--
(1) the date of approval by the Board of Governors of the
Fund for the admission of Taiwan as a member of the Fund; or
(2) the date that is 10 years after the date of the
enactment of this Act.
SEC. 5. TESTIMONY REQUIREMENT.
In each of the next 7 years in which the Secretary of the Treasury
is required by section 1705(b) of the International Financial
Institutions Act to present testimony, the Secretary shall include in
the testimony a description of the efforts of the United States to
support the greatest participation practicable by Taiwan at each
international financial institution (as defined in section 1701(c)(2)
of such Act).
