1st Session
H. R. 64
To enhance Federal enforcement of hate crimes, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 9, 2023
Ms. Jackson Lee introduced the following bill; which was referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To enhance Federal enforcement of hate crimes, 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 ``David Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act
of 2022'' or ``David's Law''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) the incidence of violence motivated by the actual or
perceived race, color, national origin, religion, sexual
orientation, gender, or disability of the victim poses a
serious national problem;
(2) such violence disrupts the tranquility and safety of
communities and is deeply divisive;
(3) existing Federal law is inadequate to address this
problem;
(4) such violence affects interstate commerce in many ways,
including--
(A) by impeding the movement of members of targeted
groups and forcing such members to move across State
lines to escape the incidence or risk of such violence;
and
(B) by preventing members of targeted groups from
purchasing goods and services, obtaining or sustaining
employment or participating in other commercial
activity;
(5) perpetrators cross State lines to commit such violence;
(6) instrumentalities of interstate commerce are used to
facilitate the commission of such violence;
(7) such violence is committed using articles that have
traveled in interstate commerce;
(8) violence motivated by bias that is a relic of slavery
can constitute badges and incidents of slavery;
(9) although many local jurisdictions have attempted to
respond to the challenges posed by such violence, the problem
is sufficiently serious, widespread, and interstate in scope to
warrant Federal intervention to assist such jurisdictions; and
(10) many States have no laws addressing violence based on
the actual or perceived race, color, national origin, religion,
sexual orientation, gender, or disability of the victim, while
other States have laws that provide only limited protection.
SEC. 3. DEFINITION OF HATE CRIME.
In this Act, the term ``hate crime'' has the same meaning as in
section 280003(a) of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act
of 1994 (28 U.S.C. 994 note).
SEC. 4. PROHIBITION OF CERTAIN ACTS OF VIOLENCE.
Section 245 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
(1) by redesignating subsections (c) and (d) as subsections
(d) and (e), respectively; and
(2) by inserting after subsection (b) the following:
``(c)(1) Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law,
willfully causes bodily injury to any person or, through the use of
fire, a firearm, or an explosive device, attempts to cause bodily
injury to any person, because of the actual or perceived race, color,
religion, or national origin of any person--
``(A) shall be imprisoned not more than 10 years, or fined
in accordance with this title, or both; and
``(B) shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for
life, or fined in accordance with this title, or both if--
``(i) death results from the acts committed in
violation of this paragraph; or
``(ii) the acts committed in violation of this
paragraph include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap,
aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit
aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill.
``(2)(A) Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, in any
circumstance described in subparagraph (B), willfully causes bodily
injury to any person or, through the use of fire, a firearm, or an
explosive device, attempts to cause bodily injury to any person,
because of the actual or perceived religion, gender, sexual
orientation, or disability of any person--
``(i) shall be imprisoned not more than 10 years, or fined
in accordance with this title, or both; and
``(ii) shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for
life, or fined in accordance with this title, or both, if--
``(I) death results from the acts committed in
violation of this paragraph; or
``(II) the acts committed in violation of this
paragraph include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap,
aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit
aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill.
``(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the circumstances described
in this subparagraph are that--
``(i) in connection with the offense, the defendant or the
victim travels in interstate or foreign commerce, uses a
facility or instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce,
or engages in any activity affecting interstate or foreign
commerce; or
``(ii) the offense is in or affects interstate or foreign
commerce.''.
SEC. 5. DUTIES OF FEDERAL SENTENCING COMMISSION.
(a) Amendment of Federal Sentencing Guidelines.--Pursuant to its
authority under section 994 of title 28, United States Code, the United
States Sentencing Commission shall study the issue of adult recruitment
of juveniles to commit hate crimes and shall, if appropriate, amend the
Federal sentencing guidelines to provide sentencing enhancements (in
addition to the sentencing enhancement provided for the use of a minor
during the commission of an offense) for adult defendants who recruit
juveniles to assist in the commission of hate crimes.
(b) Consistency With Other Guidelines.--In carrying out this
section, the United States Sentencing Commission shall--
(1) ensure that there is reasonable consistency with other
Federal sentencing guidelines; and
(2) avoid duplicative punishments for substantially the
same offense.
SEC. 6. GRANT PROGRAM.
(a) Authority To Make Grants.--The Administrator of the Office of
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention of the Department of
Justice shall make grants, in accordance with such regulations as the
Attorney General may prescribe, to State and local programs designed to
combat hate crimes committed by juveniles.
(b) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be
appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out this section.
SEC. 7. AUTHORIZATION FOR ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL TO ASSIST STATE AND
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
There are authorized to be appropriated to the Department of the
Treasury and the Department of Justice, including the Community
Relations Service, for fiscal years 2023, 2024, and 2025 such sums as
are necessary to increase the number of personnel to prevent and
respond to alleged violations of section 245 of title 18, United States
Code (as amended by this Act).

H. R. 640
To award posthumously a Congressional Gold Medal to Fred Korematsu, in
recognition of his contributions to civil rights, his loyalty and
patriotism to the Nation, and his dedication to justice and equality.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 30, 2023
Mr. Takano (for himself, Ms. Tokuda, Ms. Chu, and Ms. Matsui)
introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on
Financial Services, and in addition to the Committee on House
Administration, 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 award posthumously a Congressional Gold Medal to Fred Korematsu, in
recognition of his contributions to civil rights, his loyalty and
patriotism to the Nation, and his dedication to justice and equality.
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 ``Fred Korematsu Congressional Gold
Medal Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) On January 30, 1919, Fred Toyosaburo Korematsu was born
in Oakland, California, to Japanese immigrants.
(2) Fred Korematsu graduated from Castlemont High School in
1937 and attempted to enlist in the military twice but was
unable to do so because his selective service classification
was changed to enemy alien, even though Fred Korematsu was a
United States citizen.
(3) Fred Korematsu trained as a welder and worked as a
foreman at the docks in Oakland until the date on which he and
all Japanese Americans were fired.
(4) On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked the military base
in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, causing the United States to declare
war against Japan.
(5) On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt
signed Executive Order 9066 (7 Fed. Reg. 1407 (February 25,
1942)), which authorized the Secretary of War to prescribe
military areas--
(A) from which any or all people could be excluded;
and
(B) with respect to which, the right of any person
to enter, remain in, or leave would be subject to any
restriction the Military Commander imposed in his
discretion.
(6) On May 3, 1942, the Lieutenant General of the Western
Command of the Army issued Civilian Exclusion Order 34 (May 3,
1942) (referred to in this preamble as the ``Civilian Exclusion
Order'') directing that all people of Japanese ancestry be
removed from designated areas of the West Coast after May 9,
1942, because people of Japanese ancestry in the designated
areas were considered to pose a threat to national security.
(7) Fred Korematsu refused to comply with the Civilian
Exclusion Order and was arrested on May 30, 1942.
(8) After his arrest, Fred Korematsu--
(A) was held for 2\1/2\ months in the Presidio
stockade in San Francisco, California;
(B) was convicted on September 8, 1942, of
violating the Civilian Exclusion Order and sentenced to
5 years of probation; and
(C) was detained at Tanforan Assembly Center, a
former horse racetrack used as a holding facility for
Japanese Americans before he was exiled with his family
to the Topaz incarceration camp in the State of Utah.
(9) More than 120,000 Japanese Americans were similarly
detained, with no charges brought and without due process, in
10 permanent War Relocation Authority camps located in isolated
desert areas of the States of Arizona, Arkansas, California,
Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming.
(10) The people of the United States subject to the
Civilian Exclusion Order lost their homes, livelihoods, and the
freedoms guaranteed to all people of the United States.
(11) Fred Korematsu unsuccessfully challenged the Civilian
Exclusion Order as it applied to him and appealed the decision
of the United States District Court to the United States Court
of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which sustained his
conviction.
(12) Fred Korematsu was subsequently confined with his
family in the incarceration camp in Topaz, Utah, for 2 years,
and during that time, Fred Korematsu appealed his conviction to
the Supreme Court of the United States.
(13) On December 18, 1944, the Supreme Court of the United
States issued Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944),
which--
(A) upheld the conviction of Fred Korematsu by a
vote of 6 to 3; and
(B) concluded that Fred Korematsu was removed from
his home not based on hostility toward him or other
Japanese Americans but because the United States was at
war with Japan and the military feared a Japanese
invasion of the West Coast.
(14) In his dissenting opinion in Korematsu v. United
States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944), Justice Frank Murphy called the
Civilian Exclusion Order the ``legalization of racism''.
(15) Two other Supreme Court Justices dissented from the
majority decision in Korematsu v. United States, including
Justice Jackson who described the validation of the principle
of racial discrimination as a ``loaded weapon, ready for the
hand of any authority that can bring forward a plausible claim
of an urgent need''.
(16) Fred Korematsu continued to maintain his innocence for
decades following World War II, and his conviction hampered his
ability to gain employment.
(17) In 1982, legal historian Peter Irons and researcher
Aiko Yoshinaga-Herzig gained access to Government documents
under section 552 of title 5, United States Code (commonly
known as the ``Freedom of Information Act''), that indicate
that while the case of Fred Korematsu was before the Supreme
Court of the United States, the Federal Government misled the
Supreme Court of the United States and suppressed findings that
Japanese Americans on the West Coast were not security threats.
(18) In light of the newly discovered information, Fred
Korematsu filed a writ of error coram nobis with the United
States District Court for the Northern District of California,
and on November 10, 1983, United States District Judge Marilyn
Hall Patel issued her decision in Korematsu v. United States,
584 F. Supp. 1406 (N.D. Cal. 1984), that--
(A) overturned the Federal conviction of Fred
Korematsu;
(B) concluded that, at the time that senior
Government officials presented their case before the
Supreme Court of the United States in 1944, the senior
Government officials knew there was no factual basis
for the claim of military necessity for the Civil
Exclusion Order;
(C) acknowledged that ``the government knowingly
withheld information from the courts when they were
considering the critical question of military
necessity'' in the original case;
(D) recognized that ``there is substantial support
in the record that the government deliberately omitted
relevant information and provided misleading
information in papers before the court. The information
was critical to the court's determination''; and
(E) stated that although the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States in Korematsu v.
United States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944), remains on the
pages of United States legal and political history,
``[a]s historical precedent it stands as a constant
caution that in times of war or declared military
necessity our institutions must be vigilant in
protecting constitutional guarantees''.
(19) The Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of
Civilians, authorized by Congress in 1980 to review the facts
and circumstances surrounding the relocation and incarceration
of Japanese Americans under Executive Order 9066 (7 Fed. Reg.
1407 (February 25, 1942)), concluded that--
(A) the decision of the Supreme Court of the United
States in Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214
(1944), is overruled by the court of history;
(B) a grave personal injustice was done to the
United States citizens and resident aliens of Japanese
ancestry who, without individual review or any
probative evidence against them, were excluded,
removed, and detained by the United States during World
War II; and
(C) the exclusion, removal, and detention of United
States citizens and resident aliens of Japanese
ancestry was motivated largely by ``racial prejudice,
wartime hysteria, and a failure of political
leadership''.
(20) The overturning of the conviction of Fred Korematsu
and the findings of the Commission on Wartime Relocation and
Internment of Civilians influenced the decision by Congress to
pass the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 (50 U.S.C. 4211 et seq.)
to request a Presidential apology and the symbolic payment of
compensation to people of Japanese ancestry who lost liberty or
property due to discriminatory actions of the Federal
Government.
(21) On August 10, 1988, President Reagan signed the Civil
Liberties Act of 1988 (50 U.S.C. 4211 et seq.), stating,
``[H]ere we admit a wrong; here we reaffirm our commitment as a
nation to equal justice under the law.''.
(22) On January 15, 1998, President Clinton awarded the
Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award of
the United States, to Fred Korematsu, stating, ``[i]n the long
history of our country's constant search for justice, some
names of ordinary citizens stand for millions of souls: Plessy,
Brown, Parks. To that distinguished list, today we add the name
of Fred Korematsu.''.
(23) Fred Korematsu remained a tireless advocate for civil
liberties and justice throughout his life by--
(A) speaking out against racial discrimination and
violence; and
(B) cautioning the Federal Government against
repeating mistakes of the past that singled out
individuals for heightened scrutiny on the basis of
race, ethnicity, nationality, or religion.
(24) On March 30, 2005, Fred Korematsu died at the age of
86 in Marin County, California.
(25) Fred Korematsu is a role model for all people of the
United States who love the United States and the promises
contained in the Constitution of the United States, and the
strength and perseverance of Fred Korematsu serve as an
inspiration for all people who strive for equality and justice.

Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate shall make

1st Session
H. R. 643
To establish the total number of Representatives at a number that
provides that the average number of constituents represented by a
Member from any State is equivalent to the number of constituents
represented by the Member from the least populous State and to
apportion Representatives among the States accordingly, and for other
purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 31, 2023
Mr. Casten (for himself, Mr. Beyer, and Mr. Blumenauer) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary,
and in addition to the Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure,
and House Administration, for a period to be subsequently determined by
the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall
within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To establish the total number of Representatives at a number that
provides that the average number of constituents represented by a
Member from any State is equivalent to the number of constituents
represented by the Member from the least populous State and to
apportion Representatives among the States accordingly, and for other
purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.
(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Equal Voices
Act''.
(b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Our Nation's founders intended the House of
Representatives to be the chamber closest to the American
people: ``the People's House''.
(2) The number of Representatives in Congress has been 435
since 1911 when the U.S. population was 92,228,531 (1910 U.S.
Census). The U.S. population has grown to more than three times
that size to 331,449,281 in 2020 (2020 U.S. Census) while the
size of the House has remained the same.
(3) Our electorate has changed significantly since the size
of the House last grew in 1911. Prior to the passage of the
19th Amendment in 1920, the Civil Rights Act in 1957, and the
Voting Rights Act in 1965, women and people of color faced
barriers and in some cases, legal prohibitions, to voting.
(4) When the cap on the size of the House was statutorily
set in 1929, the average Member of the House represented
approximately 280,000 people, compared to approximately 762,000
people in 2020.
(5) Based on the 2020 Census, individuals in the State with
the smallest population, Wyoming, had 1.3x more relative
representation compared to the national average district size.
(6) Each Member of the House represents far more people on
average than legislators in nearly all developed and developing
democracies, and is an outlier among other member countries of
the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD), with nearly 3 times the citizen to representative ratio
as Japan, the country with next largest district size.
(7) Representatives who serve fewer people are more likely
to have contact with their constituents, receive higher marks
for their constituent service, and better reflect the views of
their districts.
SEC. 2. ESTABLISHMENT OF NUMBER OF MEMBERS OF HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
ON BASIS OF NUMBER OF CONSTITUENTS OF LEAST-POPULOUS
STATE.
(a) Method for Determination of Number.--Section 22(a) of the Act
entitled ``An Act to provide for the fifteenth and subsequent decennial
census and to provide for apportionment of Representatives in
Congress'', approved June 18, 1929 (2 U.S.C. 2a(a)), is amended--
(1) by striking ``(a) On the first day'' and inserting
``(a)(1) On the first day'';
(2) by striking ``the then existing number of
Representatives'' and inserting ``the number of Representatives
determined under paragraph (2)''; and
(3) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
``(2) The number of Representatives determined under this paragraph
is, with respect to a regular decennial census of the population of the
United States, a number equal to--
``(A) the whole number of persons in all States (as shown
in the statement under paragraph (1)); divided by
``(B) the whole number of persons in the State with the
smallest whole number of persons (as shown in such statement),
rounded to the nearest whole odd number.''.
(b) Conforming Amendment.--The first section and section 2 of the
Act entitled ``An Act For the apportionment of Representatives in
Congress among the several States under the Thirteenth Census'',
approved August 8, 1911 (2 U.S.C. 2 note), are repealed.
(c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall
apply with respect to the first regular decennial census conducted
after the date of the enactment of this Act and each subsequent
decennial census.
SEC. 3. COMMISSION TO RECOMMEND NUMBER OF MEMBERS OF HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES IN EVENT OF SIGNIFICANT POPULATION
CHANGE.
(a) Establishment.--If, with respect to a regular decennial census
of the population of the United States, the number of Representatives
determined under section 22(a) of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide
for the fifteenth and subsequent decennial census and to provide for
apportionment of Representatives in Congress'', approved June 18, 1929
(2 U.S.C. 2a(a)), as amended by section 2(a), is 15 percent greater or
lesser than the number of Representatives determined under such section
with respect to the previous regular decennial census, there shall be
established in Congress a commission to carry out the duties described
in subsection (d) with respect to the apportionment of Representatives
resulting from that census.
(b) Membership.--
(1) Appointment.--A commission established under this
section shall consist of 15 members appointed as follows:
(A) 5 members appointed by the Speaker of the House
of Representatives.

the Senate.
(E) One member who shall serve as the Chair of the
Commission, who shall be appointed by the vote of a
majority of the other members, of whom--
(i) at least 2 shall be members appointed
by the Speaker of the House of Representatives;
(ii) at least 2 shall be members appointed
by the minority leader of the House of
Representatives;
(iii) at least one shall be one of the

Senate; and
(iv) at least one shall be one of the
members appointed by the minority leader of the
Senate.
(2) Deadline for appointment.--The appointing authorities
under paragraph (1) shall appoint the members of the commission
not later than 30 days after the President transmits to
Congress the statement showing the number of Representatives to
which each State is entitled under section 22(a) of the Act
entitled ``An Act to provide for the fifteenth and subsequent
decennial census and to provide for apportionment of
Representatives in Congress'', approved June 18, 1929 (2 U.S.C.
2a(a)), as amended by section 2(a).
(3) Qualifications.--In appointing members of the
commission, the appointing authorities under paragraph (1)
shall prioritize the appointment of individuals who are
qualified to assess the appropriate number of Members of the
House of Representatives because of their expertise or study of
politics, government, and related fields, and their
demonstrated ability to work in a nonpartisan manner.
(4) Vacancy.--A vacancy in the commission shall be filled
in the same manner as the original appointment was made.
(5) Compensation.--Members of the commission--
(A) shall be paid the daily equivalent of the
annual rate of basic pay payable for level V of the
Executive Schedule for each day (including travel time)
during which the member is engaged in the actual
performance of duties vested in the commission; and
(B) shall receive travel expenses, including per
diem in lieu of subsistence, in accordance with
applicable provisions under subchapter I of chapter 57

commission may appoint, prescribe the duties and
responsibilities of, and fix the pay of such staff as the chair
considers appropriate to assist the commission in carrying out
its duties, without regard to the provisions of title 5, United
States Code, governing appointments in the competitive service,
and without regard to the provisions of chapter 51 and
subchapter III of chapter 53 of such title relating to
classification and General Schedule pay rates, except that no
rate of pay fixed under this paragraph may exceed the rate of
pay for a member of the commission.
(2) Experts and consultants.--Section 202(i) of the
Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 (2 U.S.C. 4301(i)) shall
apply with respect to the commission in the same manner as such
section applies with respect to a standing committee of the
Senate.
(d) Duties.--With respect to a regular decennial census, the
commission shall carry out the following duties:
(1) Analyzing the shifts in population among the States.
(2) Analyzing how the application of section 22(a)(2) of
the Act entitled ``An Act to provide for the fifteenth and
subsequent decennial census and to provide for apportionment of
Representatives in Congress'', approved June 18, 1929 (2 U.S.C.
2a(a)(2)), as added by section 2(a), will affect the ability of
the House of Representatives to carry out its responsibilities
in an effective manner.
(3) Recommending the optimal number of Members of the House
and the optimal apportionment of Members among the States,
taking into account--
(A) shifts in population among the States;
(B) the need to reduce disparities in the size of
congressional districts; and
(C) the need to ensure that historically under
represented populations are not disenfranchised.
(e) Powers.--
(1) Hearings and other activities.--For the purpose of
carrying out its duties, the commission may hold such hearings

Congressional Budget Office, and the Congressional Research
Service in the same manner and under the same terms and
conditions as any standing committee of the House of
Representatives or Senate.
(f) Report.--The commission shall submit a report to Congress
containing its recommendations under subsection (d)(3) not later than 6
months after the publication of the regular decennial census of the
population of the United States.
(g) Termination.--A commission established under this section shall
terminate 30 days after submitting the report under subsection (f).
(h) Effective Date.--This section shall apply with respect to the
second regular decennial census conducted after the date of the

A BILL
To amend title 38, United States Code, to permanently authorize the use

SEC. 2. AUTHORIZATION OF USE OF CERTAIN FUNDS FOR IMPROVED FLEXIBILITY
IN ASSISTANCE TO HOMELESS VETERANS.
Subtitle VII of chapter 20 of title 38, United States Code, is
amended by adding at the end the following new section (and conforming
the table of sections at the beginning of such chapter accordingly):
``Sec. 2068. Flexibility in provision of assistance to homeless
veterans
``(a) Use of Funds.--The Secretary of Veterans Affairs may use
amounts appropriated or otherwise made available to the Department of
Veterans Affairs to carry out section 2011, 2012, 2031, or 2061 of this
chapter to provide to homeless veterans and veterans participating in
the program carried out under section 8(o)(19) of the United States

determines necessary, the following:
``(1) Assistance required for the safety and survival of
the veteran (such as food, shelter, clothing, blankets, and

``(2) Transportation required to support the stability and
health of the veteran (such as transportation for appointments
with service providers, the conduct of housing searches, and
the obtainment of food and supplies).
``(3) Communications equipment and services (such as
tablets, smartphones, disposable phones, and related service
plans) required to support the stability and health of the

service providers, prospective landlords, and family members).
``(4) Such other assistance as the Secretary determines
necessary.
``(b) Homeless Veterans on Department Land.--(1) The Secretary may
collaborate, to the extent practicable, with one or more organizations
to manage the use of land of the Department for homeless veterans for
living and sleeping.

1st Session
H. R. 648
To amend the Agricultural Trade Act of 1978 to extend and expand the
Market Access Program and the Foreign Market Development Cooperator
Program.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 31, 2023
Mr. Newhouse (for himself, Mr. Costa, Mr. Mann, Ms. Schrier, Mrs.
Hinson, Mr. Panetta, Mr. Finstad, and Ms. Pingree) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Agriculture
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Agricultural Trade Act of 1978 to extend and expand the
Market Access Program and the Foreign Market Development Cooperator
Program.
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 ``Agriculture Export Promotion Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) between 1977 and 2019, the export promotion programs of
the Department of Agriculture--
(A) have added an average of $9,600,000,000
annually to the value of United States agricultural
exports, equal to a total of nearly $648,000,000,000,
or 13.7 percent, in additional export revenue; and
(B) have generated a net return of $24.50 for every
dollar invested;
(2) between 2002 and 2019, the export promotion programs of
the Department of Agriculture--
(A) have contributed to the creation of up to
225,800 full- and part-time jobs across the United
States economy; and
(B) have added up to $45,000,000,000 in gross
economic output and $22,300,000,000 in gross domestic
product;
(3) communities across the United States producing
agricultural commodities as varied as apples, cotton, beef,
soybeans, rice, wheat, dairy, corn, citrus, wine, pork,
peanuts, cranberries, lentils, tree nuts, timber, poultry,
potatoes, and seafood have utilized the export promotion
programs of the Department of Agriculture to increase access to
foreign markets;
(4) private sector contributions have helped maintain the
public-private partnership between the Department of
Agriculture and private agricultural groups as available funds
from the Department of Agriculture have declined, with private
contributions representing approximately 70 to 77 percent of
the funds available for export promotion from 2013 to 2019;
(5) foreign competitors have expanded their agricultural
export promotion programs at a far faster rate than the United
States, placing United States producers at a competitive
disadvantage in international markets;
(6) the economic impact of the export promotion programs of
the Department of Agriculture has eroded in recent years, as
funding for the Market Access Program has remained static since
2006 and funding for the Foreign Market Development Cooperator
Program has remained static since 2002, while inflation has
increased; and
(7) a recent academic analysis found that doubling public
funding for the Market Access Program and the Foreign Market
Development Cooperator Program, coupled with increasing private
contributions ranging from 10 to 20 percent, would result in
average annual gains in agricultural exports of approximately
$7,400,000,000.
SEC. 3. AGRICULTURAL TRADE PROMOTION AND FACILITATION.
Section 203(f) of the Agricultural Trade Act of 1978 (7 U.S.C.
5623(f)) is amended--
(1) in paragraph (2)--
(A) by striking ``2019 through 2023'' and inserting
``2024 through 2029''; and
(B) by striking ``$255,000,000'' and inserting
``$489,500,000''; and
(2) in paragraph (3)(A)--
(A) in the matter preceding clause (i), by striking
``2019 through 2023'' and inserting ``2024 through
2029'';
(B) in clause (i), by striking ``$200,000,000'' and
inserting ``$400,000,000''; and
(C) in clause (ii), by striking ``$34,500,000'' and
inserting ``$69,000,000''.

(a) In General.--Part A of title I of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6311 et seq.) is amended to read as
follows:
``PART A--STATE EDUCATIONAL AGENCY GRANTS TO ELIGIBLE CHILDREN
``SEC. 1111. ALLOCATIONS TO STATES.
``(a) In General.--For each fiscal year, the Secretary shall
allocate the amount appropriated to carry out this part among State
education agencies based on the number of eligible children residing in

``(b) Eligible Child.--In this section, the term `eligible child'
means a child aged 5 to 17, inclusive, from a family with an income
below the poverty level on the basis of the most recent satisfactory
data published by the Department of Commerce.
``(c) Criteria of Poverty.--In determining the families with
incomes below the poverty level for the purposes of this section, a
State educational agency shall use the criteria of poverty used by the
Census Bureau in compiling the most recent decennial census, as the
criteria have been updated by increases in the Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
``SEC. 1112. FUNDS FOLLOWING ELIGIBLE CHILDREN.
``(a) Calculation of Per Pupil Amount.--For each fiscal year, the
State educational agency shall calculate the per pupil amount by
dividing the amount made available to the agency under section 1111 by
the number of eligible children (as defined in section 1111(b))
residing in the State.
``(b) Use of Funds.--Each State educational agency shall use each
per pupil amount calculated under subsection (a) for qualified
elementary and secondary education expenses and in a manner directed by
State law.
``(c) Funds Distributed to Parents.--In a case in which State law
directs a State educational agency to distribute all or a portion of a
per pupil amount to a parent of an eligible child, the agency also
shall determine, consistent with State law, how the agency will verify
that funds are being used in accordance with this section and whether
to require the parent to establish an educational savings account or
other dedicated account to maintain such funds.
``(d) Definition.--In this section, the term `qualified elementary
and secondary education expenses', when used with respect to a child,
means any of the following:
``(1) Expenses within the budget of the local educational
agency having jurisdiction over the geographic area in which
the child resides.
``(2) Expenses within the budget of the public or charter
school the child may attend without paying tuition or fees.
``(3) Tuition and fees required to be paid in order for the
child to attend a public or charter school in the State in
which the child resides.
``(4) Tuition and fees required to be paid in order for the
child to attend an accredited or otherwise State-approved
private school in the State in which the child resides.
``(5) Fees required to be paid for the child to participate
in a State-approved supplemental educational services program.
``SEC. 1113. RULES OF CONSTRUCTION.
``(a) In General.--No officer or employee of the Federal Government
shall, through grants, contracts, or other cooperative agreements,
mandate, direct, or control a State, local educational agency, or
school's specific instructional content, academic standards and
assessments, curricula, or program of instruction (including any
requirement, direction, or mandate to adopt the Common Core State
Standards developed under the Common Core State Standards Initiative,
any other academic standards common to a significant number of States,
or any assessment, instructional content, or curriculum aligned to such
standards), nor shall anything in this Act be construed to authorize
such officer or employee to do so.
``(b) No Requirement To Implement Assessments, Standards, or
Accountability Systems.--An officer or employee of the Federal
Government shall not require a State educational agency, local
educational agency, school, or Indian Tribe to implement an annual
assessment, academic standard, or accountability system, or condition
funds made available under this part upon such implementation.''.
(b) Conforming Amendments.--
(1) Repeal of state assessment grants.--Part B of title I
of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20
U.S.C. 1201 et seq.) is repealed.

1st Session
H. R. 650
To provide compensation to the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community for the
taking without just compensation of land by the United States inside
the exterior boundaries of the L'Anse Indian Reservation that were
guaranteed to the Community under a treaty signed in 1854.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 31, 2023
Mr. Bergman introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Natural Resources
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To provide compensation to the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community for the
taking without just compensation of land by the United States inside
the exterior boundaries of the L'Anse Indian Reservation that were
guaranteed to the Community under a treaty signed in 1854.
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 ``Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Land
Claim Settlement Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community is a federally
recognized Indian Tribe residing on the L'Anse Indian
Reservation in Baraga County in the Upper Peninsula of the
State of Michigan;
(2) the Community is a successor in interest to the Treaty
with the Chippewa Indians of the Mississippi and Lake Superior,
made and concluded at La Pointe of Lake Superior October 4,
1842 (7 Stat. 591) (referred to in this section as the ``1842
Treaty''), which, among other things, guaranteed the
usufructuary rights of the Community over a large area of land
that was ceded to the United States, until such time that those
usufructuary rights were properly and legally extinguished;
(3) the Community is also a successor in interest to the
Treaty with the Chippewa Indians of Lake Superior and the
Mississippi, made and concluded at La Pointe September 30, 1854
(10 Stat. 1109) (referred to in this section as the ``1854
Treaty'');
(4) article 2, paragraph 1 of the 1854 Treaty created the
L'Anse Indian Reservation as a permanent reservation;
(5) pursuant to article 13 of the 1854 Treaty, the 1854
Treaty became ``obligatory on the contracting parties'' when
ratified by the President and the Senate on January 10, 1855;
(6) in 1850, Congress enacted the Act of September 28, 1850
(commonly known and referred to in this section as the ``Swamp
Land Act'') (9 Stat. 519, chapter 84), which authorized the
State of Arkansas and other States, including the State of
Michigan, to ``construct the necessary levees and drains to
reclaim'' certain unsold ``swamp and overflowed lands, made
unfit thereby for cultivation'' and stating that those lands
``shall remain unsold at the passage of this act . . . .'';
(7) following enactment of the Swamp Land Act, the State
claimed thousands of acres of swamp land in the State pursuant
to that Act;
(8) between 1893 and 1937, the General Land Office patented
2,743 acres of land to the State that were located within the
exterior boundaries of the Reservation (referred to in this
section as ``Reservation Swamp Lands'');
(9) the right of the Community to use and occupy the unsold
land within the Reservation had not been extinguished when the
United States patented the Reservation Swamp Lands to the
State;
(10) in 1852, Congress enacted the Act of August 26, 1852
(10 Stat. 35, chapter 92) (referred to in this section as the
``Canal Land Act''), to facilitate the building of the Sault
Ste. Marie Canal at the Falls of the St. Mary's River, to
connect Lake Superior to Lake Huron;
(11) pursuant to the Canal Land Act, the United States
granted the State the right to select 750,000 acres of unsold
public land within the State to defray the cost of construction
of the Sault Ste. Marie Canal;
(12) the State identified and selected, among other land, a
minimum of 1,333.25 and up to 2,720 acres within the exterior
boundaries of the Reservation (referred to in this section as
the ``Reservation Canal Lands'');
(13) the Department of the Interior approved the land
selections of the State, including the Reservation Canal Lands,
after ratification of the 1854 Treaty;
(14) the Secretary noted that the approval described in
paragraph (13) was ``subject to any valid interfering rights'';
(15) the 1854 Treaty set apart from the public domain all
unsold land within the Reservation to the Community as of
September 30, 1854, which preceded the date on which the State
established legally effective title to the Reservation Canal
Lands;
(16) the Community made claims to the Department of the
Interior with respect to the Reservation Swamp Lands and the
Reservation Canal Lands, providing legal analysis and
ethnohistorical support for those claims;
(17) in December 2021, the Department of the Interior
stated that ``We have carefully reviewed pertinent documents,
including the Tribe's expert reports, and have determined that
the Tribe's claims to the Swamp Lands and Canal Lands have
merit'';
(18) the United States, through the actions of the General
Land Office, deprived the Community of the exclusive use and
occupancy of the Reservation Swamp Lands and the Reservation
Canal Lands within the Reservation, without just compensation
as required under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment to
the Constitution of the United States;
(19) the loss of the Reservation Swamp Lands and the
Reservation Canal Lands without just compensation has--
(A) impacted the exercise by the Community of
cultural, religious, and subsistence rights on the
land;
(B) caused a harmful disconnect between the
Community and its land;
(C) impacted the ability of the Community to fully
exercise its economy within the Reservation; and
(D) had a negative economic impact on the
development of the economy of the Community;
(20) certain non-Indian individuals, entities, and local
governments occupy land within the boundaries of the
Reservation--
(A) acquired ownership interests in the Reservation
Swamp Lands and the Reservation Canal Lands in good
faith; and
(B) have an interest in possessing clear title to
that land;
(21) this Act allows the United States--
(A) to secure a fair and equitable settlement of
past inequities suffered by the Community as a result
of the actions of the United States that caused the
taking of the Reservation Swamp Lands and the
Reservation Canal Lands without just compensation; and
(B) to ensure protection of the ownership of the
Reservation Swamp Lands and the Reservation Canal Lands
by non-Indian occupants of the Reservation, through the
settlement of the claims of the Community to that land,
and through that action, the relief of any clouds on
title;
(22) a settlement will allow the Community to receive just
compensation and the local landowners to obtain clear title to
land, without long and protracted litigation that would be both
costly and detrimental to all involved; and
(23) this Act achieves both justice for the Community and
security for current landowners through a restorative and non-
confrontational process.
SEC. 3. PURPOSES.
The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to acknowledge the uncompensated taking by the Federal
Government of the Reservation Swamp Lands and the Reservation
Canal Lands;
(2) to provide compensation to the Community for the
uncompensated taking of the Reservation Swamp Lands and the
Reservation Canal Lands by the Federal Government;
(3) to extinguish all claims by the Community to the
Reservation Swamp Lands and the Reservation Canal Lands and to
confirm the ownership by the current landowners of the
Reservation Swamp Lands and the Reservation Canal Lands, who
obtained that land in good faith;
(4) to extinguish all potential claims by the Community
against the United States, the State, and current landowners
concerning title to, use of, or occupancy of the Reservation
Swamp Lands and the Reservation Canal Lands; and
(5) to authorize the Secretary--

retention and soil health.
``(ii) Determination of nearby
communities.--The Secretary, in consultation
with the Administrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency, shall issue regulations for
determining whether a community is nearby for
purposes of clause (i)(I), which shall ensure
that bringing organic waste from the community
to the farm to produce compost results in a net
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.''.
(b) Conservation Stewardship Program.--Section 1240I(2)(B)(i) of
the Food Security Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C. 3839aa-21(2)(B)(i)) is amended

Security Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C. 3842(h)) is amended by adding at the
end the following:
``(5) Development of composting practice standard.--In

for certain casualty losses of uncut timber.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Disaster Reforestation Act''.
SEC. 2. CASUALTY LOSSES OF UNCUT TIMBER.
(a) In General.--Section 165(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 is amended--
(1) by striking ``For purposes of subsection (a)'' and
inserting the following:
``(1) In general.--For purposes of subsection (a)'', and
(2) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
``(2) Special rule for casualty loss of uncut timber.--
``(A) In general.--In the case of the loss of any
uncut timber from fire, storm, insects, invasive
species, drought, or other casualty, or from theft, the
basis for determining the amount of the deduction for
such loss (as otherwise determined under paragraph (1))
shall not be less than the excess of--
``(i) the value of such uncut timber
determined immediately before such loss was
sustained, over
``(ii) the salvage value of such timber.
``(B) Appraisal methods.--With respect to the
appraisal of a timber casualty loss described in
subparagraph (A)--
``(i) the appraisal valuation date shall be
not later than 1 year after the casualty loss;
and
``(ii) the appraisal shall--
``(I) conform to the Uniform
Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice (USPAP);
``(II) be limited to the value of
the lost timber; and
``(III) be completed by a Federal-
or State-certified appraiser.
``(C) Exclusion of timber not held for sale.--
Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to any timber unless
such timber is held for the purpose of being cut and
sold in connection with a trade or business that is not
a passive activity within the meaning of section 469.
``(D) Inclusion of pre-merchantable timber.--For
purposes of this paragraph, the term `uncut timber'
shall not fail to include pre-merchantable timber.
``(E) Reforestation requirement.--Subparagraph (A)
shall not apply unless the uncut timber subject to the
loss is reforested (with hardwoods, softwoods, or any
combination thereof) by planting, seeding, or
appropriate site preparation, not later than the close
of the 5-year period beginning on the date of such
loss.''.
(b) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall
apply to taxable years beginning after the date of the enactment of
this Act.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 31, 2023
Mr. Cohen (for himself, Mr. Garcia of Illinois, Mr. Khanna, Mr.
Thompson of Mississippi, and Ms. Schakowsky) introduced the following
bill; which was referred to the Committee on Transportation and
Infrastructure
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To prohibit air carriers from imposing fees that are not reasonable and
proportional to the costs incurred by the air carriers, 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 ``Forbidding Airlines from Imposing
Ridiculous Fees Act of 2023'' or the ``FAIR Fees Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. REGULATIONS PROHIBITING THE IMPOSITION OF FEES THAT ARE NOT
REASONABLE AND PROPORTIONAL TO THE COSTS INCURRED.
(a) In General.--Not later than 270 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation shall prescribe
regulations--
(1) prohibiting an air carrier from imposing fees described
in subsection (b) that are unreasonable or disproportional to
the costs incurred by the air carrier; and
(2) establishing standards for assessing whether such fees
are reasonable and proportional to the costs incurred by the
air carrier.
(b) Fees Described.--The fees described in this subsection are--
(1) any fee for a change or cancellation of a reservation
for a flight in passenger air transportation;
(2) any fee relating to checked or carry-on baggage to be
transported on a flight in passenger air transportation;
(3) any fee relating to the choice or assignment of seats
on a flight in passenger air transportation; and
(4) any other fee imposed by an air carrier relating to a
flight in passenger air transportation.
(c) Considerations.--In establishing the standards required by
subsection (a)(2), the Secretary shall consider--
(1) with respect to a fee described in subsection (b)(1)
imposed by an air carrier for a change or cancellation of a
flight reservation--
(A) any net benefit or cost to the air carrier from
the change or cancellation, taking into consideration--
(i) the ability of the air carrier to
anticipate the expected average number of
cancellations and changes and make reservations
accordingly;
(ii) the ability of the air carrier to fill
a seat made available by a change or
cancellation;
(iii) any difference in the fare likely to
be paid for a ticket sold to another passenger
for a seat made available by the change or
cancellation, as compared to the fare that was
paid for the seat for which the reservation was
changed or canceled; and
(iv) the likelihood that the passenger
changing or canceling the reservation will, as
a result, fill a seat on another flight by the
same air carrier;
(B) the costs of processing the change or
cancellation electronically; and
(C) any related labor costs;
(2) with respect to a fee described in subsection (b)(2)
imposed by an air carrier relating to checked baggage--
(A) the costs of processing checked baggage
electronically; and
(B) any related labor costs;
(3) with respect to a fee described in subsection (b)(3)
imposed by an air carrier relating to the choice or assignment
of seats on a flight in passenger air transportation, ensuring
that passengers traveling with children age 13 or younger are
able to be seated with those children at no additional charge
to the passengers traveling with such children or to any other
passenger traveling on the flight involved; and
(4) any other considerations the Secretary considers
appropriate.
(d) Updated Regulations.--The Secretary shall update the standards
required by subsection (a)(2) not less frequently than every 3 years.
(e) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Air carrier.--The term ``air carrier'' means any air
carrier that holds an air carrier certificate under section
41101 of title 49, United States Code.
(2) Passenger air transportation.--The term ``passenger air
transportation'' means, with respect to the transportation of
passengers by aircraft as a common carrier for compensation,
foreign air transportation, interstate air transportation, and
intrastate air transportation, as such terms are defined in
section 40102 of title 49, United States Code.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 660
To amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to require the
safe storage of firearms, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 31, 2023
Ms. DeLauro (for herself, Mr. Larson of Connecticut, Mr. Courtney, Mr.
Himes, and Mrs. Hayes) introduced the following bill; which was
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to require the
safe storage of firearms, 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 ``Ethan's Law''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress find the following:
(1) An estimated 4,600,000 minors in the United States live
in homes with at least 1 unsecured firearm.
(2) Seventy-three percent of children under the age of 10
living in homes with firearms reported knowing the location of
their parents' firearms. Thirty-six percent of those children
reported handling their parents' unsecured firearms.
(3) The presence of unsecured firearms in the home
increases the risk of unintentional and intentional shootings.
Over 75 percent of firearms used in youth suicide attempts and
unintentional firearm injuries were stored in the residence of
the victim, a relative, or a friend.
(4) The United States Secret Service and the Department of
Education report that in 65 percent of deadly school shootings,
the attacker obtained the firearm from his or her own home or
that of a relative.
(5) In the last decade, nearly 2,000,000 firearms have been
reported stolen. In 2016 alone, 238,000 firearms were reported
stolen in the United States. Between 2010 and 2016, police
recovered more than 23,000 stolen firearms across jurisdictions
that were used to commit kidnappings, armed robberies, sexual
assaults, murders, and other violent crimes.
(6) Higher levels of neighborhood gun violence drive
depopulation, discourage commercial activity, and decrease
property values, resulting in fewer business establishments,
fewer jobs, lower home values, and lower home ownership rates.
(7) The negative economic impact of gun violence in
communities is tied directly to the national economy and
interstate commerce.
(8) Congress has the power under the interstate commerce
clause and other provisions of the Constitution of the United
States to enact measures ensuring firearms are securely stored.
SEC. 3. SECURE GUN STORAGE OR SAFETY DEVICE.
Section 922(z) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by
adding at the end the following:
``(4) Secure gun storage by owners.--
``(A) Offense.--
``(i) In general.--Except as provided in
clause (ii), it shall be unlawful for a person
to store or keep any firearm that has moved in,
or that has otherwise affected, interstate or
foreign commerce on the premises of a residence
under the control of the person if the person
knows, or reasonably should know, that--
``(I) a minor is likely to gain
access to the firearm without the
permission of the parent or guardian of
the minor; or
``(II) a resident of the residence
is ineligible to possess a firearm
under Federal, State, or local law.
``(ii) Exception.--Clause (i) shall not
apply to a person if the person--
``(I) keeps the firearm--
``(aa) secure using a

device; or
``(bb) in a location that a
reasonable person would believe
to be secure; or
``(II) carries the firearm on his
or her person or within such close
proximity thereto that the person can
readily retrieve and use the firearm as
if the person carried the firearm on
his or her person.
``(B) Penalty.--
``(i) In general.--Any person who violates
subparagraph (A) shall be fined $500 per
violation.
``(ii) Enhanced penalty.--If a person

under Federal, State, or local law obtains the
firearm and causes injury or death to such
minor or resident, or to any other individual,
the person shall be fined under this title,
imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both.
``(iii) Forfeiture of improperly stored
firearm.--Any firearm stored in violation of
subparagraph (A) shall be subject to seizure
and forfeiture in accordance with the
procedures described in section 924(d).
``(C) Minor defined.--In this paragraph, the term
`minor' means an individual who is less than 18 years
of age.''.
SEC. 4. FIREARM SAFE STORAGE PROGRAM.
Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968
(34 U.S.C. 10101 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the
following:

``(B) the attorney general of the State (or
comparable Tribal official) has submitted a written
certification to the Assistant Attorney General stating

sense of Congress in section 922(z)(4)(D) of such title
18.
``(2) First year eligibility exception.--
``(A) In general.--A covered State or Indian Tribe
shall be eligible to receive a grant under this section
during the 1-year period beginning on the date of

``(B) Covered state or indian tribe.--In this

added by section 3, is amended by adding at the end the following:
``(D) Sense of congress relating to liability.--It
is the sense of Congress that--
``(i) failure to comply with subparagraph
(A) constitutes negligence under any relevant
statute or common law rule; and
``(ii) when a violation of subparagraph (A)
is the but-for cause of a harm caused by the
discharge of a firearm, such violation should
be deemed to be the legal or proximate cause of
such harm, regardless of whether such harm was
also the result of an intentional tort.''.
SEC. 6. SEVERABILITY.
If any provision of this Act, or an amendment made by this Act, or
the application of such provision to any person or circumstance, is
held to be invalid, the remainder of this Act, or an amendment made by
this Act, or the application of such provision to other persons or
circumstances, shall not be affected.

(2) by adding at the end the following:

alien was charged or convicted; and
``(B) to provide the victim or, if the victim is

and ongoing basis, including--
``(i) the alien's full name, aliases, date

``(ii) the alien's immigration status and
criminal history;
``(iii) the alien's custody status and any
changes related to the alien's custody; and
``(iv) a description of any efforts by the

from the United States.''.
SEC. 3. SAVINGS PROVISION.

This Act may be cited as the ``Access to Counsel Act''.
SEC. 2. ACCESS TO COUNSEL AND OTHER ASSISTANCE AT PORTS OF ENTRY AND
DURING DEFERRED INSPECTION.
(a) Access to Counsel and Other Assistance During Inspection.--
Section 235 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1225) is

``(1) In general.--The Secretary of Homeland Security shall
ensure that a covered individual has a meaningful opportunity
to consult with counsel and an interested party during the
inspection process.
``(2) Scope of assistance.--The Secretary of Homeland
Security shall--
``(A) provide the covered individual a meaningful
opportunity to consult (including consultation via
telephone) with counsel and an interested party not
later than one hour after the secondary inspection
process commences and as necessary throughout the
remainder of the inspection process, including, as
applicable, during deferred inspection;
``(B) allow counsel and an interested party to
advocate on behalf of the covered individual, including
by providing to the examining immigration officer

support of the covered individual; and
``(C) to the greatest extent practicable,
accommodate a request by the covered individual for
counsel or an interested party to appear in-person at
the secondary or deferred inspection site.
``(3) Special rule for lawful permanent residents.--
``(A) In general.--Except as provided in
subparagraph (B), the Secretary of Homeland Security
may not accept a Form I-407 Record of Abandonment of
Lawful Permanent Resident Status (or a successor form)
from a lawful permanent resident subject to secondary
or deferred inspection without first providing such
lawful permanent resident a meaningful opportunity to
seek advice from counsel.
``(B) Exception.--The Secretary of Homeland
Security may accept Form I-407 Record of Abandonment of
Lawful Permanent Resident Status (or a successor form)
from a lawful permanent resident subject to secondary
or deferred inspection if such lawful permanent
resident knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily
waives, in writing, the opportunity to seek advice from
counsel.
``(4) Definitions.--In this section:
``(A) Counsel.--The term `counsel' means--
``(i) an attorney who is a member in good
standing of the bar of any State, the District

the United States and is not under an order
suspending, enjoining, restraining, disbarring,
or otherwise restricting the attorney in the
practice of law; or
``(ii) an individual accredited by the
Attorney General, acting as a representative of
an organization recognized by the Executive
Office for Immigration Review, to represent a
covered individual in immigration matters.
``(B) Covered individual.--The term `covered
individual' means an individual subject to secondary or
deferred inspection who is--
``(i) a national of the United States;
``(ii) an immigrant, lawfully admitted for
permanent residence, who is returning from a
temporary visit abroad;
``(iii) an alien seeking admission as an
immigrant in possession of a valid unexpired
immigrant visa;
``(iv) an alien seeking admission as a

nonimmigrant visa;
``(v) a refugee;
``(vi) a returning asylee; or
``(vii) an alien who has been approved for
parole under section 212(d)(5)(A), including an
alien who is returning to the United States in

``(C) Interested party.--The term `interested
party' means--
``(i) a relative of the covered individual;
``(ii) in the case of a covered individual
to whom an immigrant or a nonimmigrant visa has
been issued, the petitioner or sponsor thereof
(including an agent of such petitioner or
sponsor); or
``(iii) a person, organization, or entity
in the United States with a bona fide
connection to the covered individual.''.
(b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall
take effect 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.

SEC. 2. 3-DAY WAITING PERIOD REQUIRED BEFORE RECEIPT OF A HANDGUN, WITH
EXCEPTIONS.

the end the following:
``(aa)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), it shall be unlawful
for a person not licensed under this chapter, in or affecting
interstate or foreign commerce, to receive a handgun from another
person not licensed under this chapter unless at least 3 business days
(meaning a day on which State offices are open) have elapsed since the
recipient most recently offered to take possession of the handgun.
``(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply with respect to a handgun
transfer that meets the conditions of subsection (t)(7).''.
(b) Transfers by Firearms Licensees to Non-Licensees.--Section
922(t) of such title is amended--
(1) in paragraph (1)--
(A) in subparagraph (C)(iii)(II), by striking
``and'' at the end;
(B) in subparagraph (D), by striking the period at

on which State offices are open) have elapsed since the
licensee contacted the system.''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following:
``(7) A handgun transfer meets the conditions of this paragraph
if--
``(A) the transferee is a law enforcement agency or any law
enforcement officer, armed private security professional, or
member of the armed forces, to the extent the officer,
professional, or member is acting within the course and scope
of employment and official duties;
``(B) the transfer is a loan between spouses, between
domestic partners, between parents and their children, between
siblings, between aunts or uncles and their nieces or nephews,
or between grandparents and their grandchildren, for a lawful
purpose;
``(C) the transfer is temporary and necessary to prevent
imminent death or great bodily harm, if the possession by the
transferee lasts only as long as immediately necessary to
prevent the imminent death or great bodily harm; or
``(D) the transfer is temporary and the transferor has no
reason to believe that the transferee will use or intends to
use the firearm in a crime or is prohibited from possessing
firearms under State or Federal law, and the transfer takes
place and the transferee's possession of the firearm is
exclusively--
``(i) at a shooting range or in a shooting gallery
or other area designated for the purpose of target
shooting;
``(ii) while reasonably necessary for the purposes
of hunting, trapping, or fishing, if the transferor--
``(I) has no reason to believe that the
transferee intends to use the firearm in a
place where it is illegal; and
``(II) has reason to believe that the
transferee will comply with all licensing and
permit requirements for such hunting, trapping,
or fishing; or
``(iii) while in the presence of the transferor.''.
(c) Penalties.--Section 924(a)(1)(B) of such title is amended by
striking ``or (q)'' and inserting ``(q), or (aa)''.

Resources
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To provide for the protection of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Wilderness and interconnected Federal lands and waters, including
Voyageurs National Park, within the Rainy River Watershed in the State
of Minnesota, 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 ``Boundary Waters Wilderness
Protection and Pollution Prevention Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is a
1,090,000-acre Federal wilderness area, located within the
Superior National Forest, that was originally designated in the
Wilderness Act of 1964 (Public Law 88-577).
(2) The Forest Service manages the Boundary Waters Canoe
Area Wilderness, which includes--
(A) nearly 2,000 pristine lakes ranging in size
from 10 acres to 10,000 acres, and more than 1,200
miles of canoe routes;
(B) 1,500 cultural resource sites including
historic Ojibwe village sites and Native American
pictograph panel sites; and
(C) 150 miles of land and water on the
international border with the Government of Canada.
(3) In 1978, Congress passed the Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Wilderness Act (Public Law 95-495) to remove incompatible uses,
prohibit mining within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Wilderness and on 220,000 acres of the Superior National
Forest, and to provide management guidance to protect,
preserve, and enhance the lakes, waterways, and forested areas
of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to enhance public
enjoyment of the unique landscape and wildlife.
(4) The federally recognized Grand Portage Band of Lake
Superior Chippewa, the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior
Chippewa, and the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa retain hunting,
fishing, and other usufructuary rights throughout the entire
northeast portion of Minnesota, including the Boundary Waters
Canoe Area Wilderness, under the 1854 Treaty of LaPointe. All
Bands have a legal interest in protecting natural resources and
the Forest Service shares in the Federal trust responsibility
to maintain treaty resources.
(5) The Rainy River Watershed lies within the Superior
National Forest, which contains 20 percent of the fresh water
supply in the entire National Forest System.
(6) The Rainy River Watershed headwaters begin in
northeastern Minnesota and flow north through the Boundary
Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Voyageurs National Park and
into Canada along the shared international border. These
international waters are governed by the 1909 Boundary Waters
Treaty, which states that ``boundary waters and the waters
flowing across the boundary shall not be polluted on either
side to the injury of health or property on the other''.
(7) The waters of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness
and Voyageurs National Park are classified as Outstanding
Resource Value Waters under Federal and State law, and
degradation of water quality is prohibited. A risk of mining
development is acid mine drainage which generally occurs when
sulfide minerals are exposed to air and water creating sulfuric
acid, which decreases water pH and leaches harmful metals such
as copper, zinc, lead, cadmium, iron, and nickel.
(8) Acid mine runoff from sulfide-ore copper mining
entering groundwater, rivers, streams, and lakes harms aquatic
life, degrades water quality, and results in potential severe
environmental impacts.
(9) A peer-reviewed study of water quality impacts from 14
operating United States copper sulfide mines found 100 percent
of the mines experienced pipeline spills or accidental
releases: 13 mines experienced failures of water collection and
treatment systems to control contaminated mine seepage
resulting in significant negative water quality impacts.
(10) The mining of copper and other metals in sulfide
bearing ore on Federal lands in the Superior National Forest,
within the Rainy River Watershed, poses a direct and long-term
threat from sulfide-ore mining contamination to the pristine
water and air quality and healthy forested habitat of the
Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Voyageurs National
Park.
(11) The likely contamination of the air, water, and
forested habitat of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness
and Voyageurs National Park from the mining of copper, nickel,
platinum, palladium, gold, and silver on Federal lands within
the Rainy River Watershed puts at risk--
(A) the nationally recognized natural resources of
the area; and
(B) the region's amenity-based and tourism
industry, which if protected by a mineral withdrawal,
would grow by 1,500 to 4,600 more jobs and $100,000,000
to $900,000,000 more income over the next 20 years than
if such mining were not banned.
(12) In 2016, the Forest Service issued a Record of
Decision which found ``unacceptable the inherent potential risk
that development of a regionally untested copper-nickel sulfide
ore mine within the same watershed as the Boundary Waters Canoe
Area Wilderness might cause serious and irreplaceable harm to
this unique, iconic, and irreplaceable wilderness area''. The
Forest Service subsequently proposed a 20-year mineral
withdrawal of 234,328 acres of Federal lands and waters in the
Rainy River Watershed.
(13) In 2018, approximately 20 months into a 24-month
review period of the Rainy River Watershed mineral withdrawal
proposal, the Department of Agriculture abruptly canceled the
withdrawal application and abandoned the Environmental
Assessment.
SEC. 3. WITHDRAWAL OF CERTAIN FEDERAL LANDS AND WATERS IN THE STATE OF
MINNESOTA.
(a) Definition of Map.--In this Act, the term ``Map'' means the map
prepared by the Forest Service entitled ``Superior National Forest
Mineral Withdrawal Application Map'' and dated December 5, 2016.
(b) Withdrawal.--Except as provided in subsection (d) and subject
to valid existing rights, the approximately 234,328 acres of Federal
land and waters in the Rainy River Watershed of the Superior National
Forest in the State of Minnesota, as located on the Map and described
in the Federal Register Notice of Application for Withdrawal, dated
January 19, 2017 (82 Fed. Reg. 6639), are hereby withdrawn from--
(1) all forms of entry, appropriation, and disposal under
the public land laws;
(2) location, entry, and patent under the mining laws; and
(3) operation of the mineral leasing, mineral materials,
and geothermal leasing laws.
(c) Acquired Land.--Any land or interest in land within the area
depicted on the Map that is acquired by the United States after the
date of enactment of this Act shall, on acquisition, be immediately
withdrawn in accordance with this section.
(d) Removal of Sand, Gravel, Granite, Iron Ore, and Taconite.--The
Chief of the Forest Service is authorized to permit the removal of
sand, gravel, granite, iron ore, and taconite from national forest
system lands within the area depicted on the Map if the Chief
determines that the removal is not detrimental to the water quality,
air quality, and health of the forest habitat within the Rainy River
Watershed.
(e) Availability of Map.--The Map shall be kept on file and made
available for public inspection in the appropriate offices of the
Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management.

H. R. 669
To restrict the first-use strike of nuclear weapons.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 31, 2023
Mr. Lieu (for himself, Mr. Grijalva, Ms. Norton, Mr. McGovern, Ms.
Pingree, Ms. Schakowsky, Mrs. Watson Coleman, Mr. Beyer, Mr. Sherman,
Mr. Cohen, Ms. Meng, Ms. Pressley, Mr. Blumenauer, Mrs. Napolitano, Mr.
Pallone, Ms. Clarke of New York, and Mr. Payne) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
and in addition to the Committee on Armed Services, 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 restrict the first-use strike of nuclear weapons.
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 ``Restricting First Use of Nuclear
Weapons Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF POLICY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Constitution gives Congress the sole power to
declare war.
(2) The framers of the Constitution understood that the
monumental decision to go to war, which can result in massive
death and the destruction of civilized society, must be made by
the representatives of the people and not by a single person.
(3) As stated by section 2(c) of the War Powers Resolution
(Public Law 93-148; 50 U.S.C. 1541), ``the constitutional
powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce
United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations
where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated
by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a
declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or
(3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United
States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces''.
(4) Nuclear weapons are uniquely powerful weapons that have
the capability to instantly kill millions of people, create
long-term health and environmental consequences throughout the
world, directly undermine global peace, and put the United
States at existential risk from retaliatory nuclear strikes.
(5) A first-use nuclear strike carried out by the United
States would constitute a major act of war.
(6) A first-use nuclear strike conducted absent a
declaration of war by Congress would violate the Constitution.
(7) The President has the sole authority to authorize the
use of nuclear weapons, an order which military officers of the
United States must carry out in accordance with their
obligations under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
(8) Given its exclusive power under the Constitution to
declare war, Congress must provide meaningful checks and
balances to the President's sole authority to authorize the use
of a nuclear weapon.
(b) Declaration of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States
that no first-use nuclear strike should be conducted absent a
declaration of war by Congress.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON CONDUCT OF FIRST-USE NUCLEAR STRIKES.
(a) Prohibition.--No Federal funds may be obligated or expended to
conduct a first-use nuclear strike unless such strike is conducted
pursuant to a war declared by Congress that expressly authorizes such
strike.
(b) First-Use Nuclear Strike Defined.--In this section, the term
``first-use nuclear strike'' means an attack using nuclear weapons
against an enemy that is conducted without the Secretary of Defense and
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff first confirming to the
President that there has been a nuclear strike against the United
States, its territories, or its allies (as specified in section 3(b)(2)
of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2753(b)(2))).

(2) Transfer.--In fiscal year 2025 and each fiscal year

to border security enforcement measures made during the
immediately preceding fiscal year.
(C) Amount.--The Secretary shall promptly
distribute from the Reimbursement Fund, to any border

immediately preceding fiscal year bears to the total
amount expended in such fiscal year by all such border
States so submitting an application.
(D) Border security enforcement measures.--In this
subparagraph, an expenditure by a border State shall be

(2) measure the prevalence of such discriminatory practices
across the housing and mortgage lending markets as a whole.
(b) Administration.--The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
shall enter into agreements with qualified fair housing enforcement
organizations, as such organizations are defined under subsection (h)
of section 561 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 (42
U.S.C. 3616a(h)), for the purpose of conducting the testing required
under subsection (a).

and
(C) a description of proposed procedures to be used

The Secretary may submit the reports required under paragraph (1) of
this subsection as part of the reports prepared in accordance with
paragraphs (2) and (6) of section 808(e) of the Fair Housing Act (42

State or local government or agency, public or private nonprofit
organization or institution, or other public or private entity that the
Secretary has entered into a contract or cooperative agreement with

H. R. 691
To impose sanctions with respect to Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 31, 2023
Mr. Steube introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the
Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker,
in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the
jurisdiction of the committee concerned
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To impose sanctions with respect to Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada.
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 ``Sanctioning Iranian-Backed Militia
Terrorists Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS) is an Iranian-backed
Iraqi militia founded in 2003 by Abu Mustafa al-Sheibani, who
was sanctioned on January 9, 2008, by the Department of the
Treasury ``for threatening the peace and stability of Iraq and
the Government of Iraq''. Sheibani led a network which
according to the Department of the Treasury conducted
improvised explosive device attacks against United States
soldiers in Baghdad.
(2) KSS openly recognizes the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali
Khamanei as its spiritual leader.
(3) KSS is provided training, funding, and arms by Iran's
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and IRGC-Quds Forces
and works closely with Kata'ib Hezbollah (KH), Lebanese
Hezbollah, and Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq (AAH), all of which have been
designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations by the Department
of State.
(4) KSS has fought under the command of former IRGC-Quds
Forces commander Qassem Soleimani. The militia has members who
operate as a unit of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF),
which is a formal part of the Iraqi federal government under
the authority of the Prime Minister of Iraq and which receives
funding from the Iraqi federal government, including salaries.
(5) Since its founding KSS has deployed forces to Syria to
engage in military operations supporting the Government of
Syria, including offensives in Daraa, Quneitera, the Damascus
suburbs, and the Aleppo countryside.
(6) In 2015, KSS threatened to ``strike and destroy'' Saudi
Arabia, saying in a statement: ``We in the Sayyid al Shuhada
Battalion consider Saudi interests a legitimate and permissible
target on all levels, and we will strike and destroy them
whenever it pleases us.''.
(7) In August 2019, Abu Alaa al-Wala'i, a leader of KSS,
said that ``All Americans will be held hostage by the
resistance factions in the event of a war.''.
(8) On February 14, 2020, the Department of State announced
that sanctions were imposed on KSS pursuant to section 3 of the
Iran, North Korea, and Syria Nonproliferation Act (50 U.S.C.
1701 note) for engaging in illicit arms transfers to or
acquisition from Iran.
(9) On February 25, 2021, President Biden ordered
airstrikes against infrastructure utilized by Iranian-backed
militias in eastern Syria in response to attacks against United
States personnel in Iraq. According to the Department of
Defense's statement on February 25, 2021, ``the strikes
destroyed multiple facilities located at a border control point
used by a number of Iranian-backed militant groups, including
Kait'ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kait'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS).''.
SEC. 3. IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS.
(a) In General.--The President shall impose the sanctions described
in subsection (b) with respect to--
(1) Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada; and
(2) any foreign person that is a member, agent, or
affiliate of, or owned or controlled by, Kata'ib Sayyid al-
Shuhada.
(b) Sanctions Described.--The sanctions described in this
subsection are--
(1) sanctions applicable with respect to a foreign person
pursuant to section 7412(b) of the Caesar Syria Civilian
Protection Act of 2019 (22 U.S.C. 8791 note); and
(2) sanctions applicable with respect to a foreign person
pursuant to Executive Order 13224 (50 U.S.C. 1701 note;
relating to blocking property and prohibiting transactions with
persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism).

1st Session
H. R. 697
To amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to clarify that disparate impacts
on certain populations constitute a sufficient basis for rights of
action under such Act, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 1, 2023
Ms. Tlaib (for herself, Ms. Bush, and Ms. Lee of Pennsylvania)
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 amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to clarify that disparate impacts
on certain populations constitute a sufficient basis for rights of
action under such Act, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Justice for All Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) This Act is made necessary by a decision of the Supreme
Court in Alexander v. Sandoval, 532 U.S. 275 (2001) that
significantly impairs statutory protections against
discrimination that Congress has erected over a period of
almost 4 decades. The Sandoval decision undermines these
statutory protections by stripping victims of discrimination
(defined under regulations that Congress required Federal
departments and agencies to promulgate to implement title VI of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.)) of the
right to bring action in Federal court to redress the
discrimination.
(2) The Sandoval decision contradicts settled expectations
created by title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, title IX
of the Education Amendments of 1972 (also known as the ``Patsy
Takemoto Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act'') (20 U.S.C.
1681 et seq.), the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C.
6101 et seq.), and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973 (29 U.S.C. 794) (collectively referred to in this Act as
the ``covered civil rights provisions''). The covered civil
rights provisions were designed to establish and make effective
the rights of persons to be free from discrimination on the
part of entities that are subject to 1 or more of the covered
civil rights provisions, as appropriate (referred to in this
Act as ``covered entities''). In 1964 Congress adopted title VI
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to ensure that Federal dollars
would not be used to subsidize or support programs or
activities that discriminated on racial, color, or national
origin grounds. In the years that followed, Congress extended
these protections by enacting laws barring discrimination in
federally funded education activities on the basis of sex in
title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and
discrimination in federally funded activities on the basis of
age in the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 and disability in
section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
(3) All of the statutes cited in this section were designed
to protect persons subject to discrimination. As Congress has
consistently recognized, effective enforcement of the statutes
and protection of the rights guaranteed under the statutes
depend heavily on the efforts of private attorneys general.
Congress acknowledged that it could not secure compliance
solely through administrative efforts and enforcement actions
initiated by the Attorney General. Newman v. Piggie Park
Enterprises, 390 U.S. 400 (1968) (per curiam).
(4) The Supreme Court has made it clear that individuals
suffering discrimination under these statutes have a private
right of action in the Federal courts, and that this is
necessary for effective protection of the law, although
Congress did not make such a right of action explicit in the
statute involved. Cannon v. University of Chicago, 441 U.S. 677
(1979).
(5) Furthermore, for effective enforcement of the statutes
cited in this section, it is necessary that the private right
of action include a means to challenge all forms of
discrimination that are prohibited by the statutes, including
practices that have a disparate impact and are not justified as
necessary to achieve the legitimate goals of programs or
activities supported by Federal financial assistance.
(6) By reinstating a private right of action to challenge
disparate impact discrimination under title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.) and confirming
that right for other civil rights statutes, Congress is not
acting in a manner that would expose covered entities to unfair
findings of discrimination. The legal standard for a disparate
impact claim has never been structured so that a finding of
discrimination could be based on numerical imbalance alone.
(7) In contrast, a failure to reinstate or confirm a
private right of action would leave vindication of the rights
to equality of opportunity solely to Federal agencies. Action
by Congress to specify a private right of action is necessary
to ensure that persons will have a remedy if they are denied
equal access to education, housing, health, environmental
protection, transportation, and many other programs and
services by practices of covered entities that result in
discrimination.
(8) As a result of the Supreme Court's decision in
Sandoval, courts have dismissed numerous claims brought under
the regulations promulgated pursuant to title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.) that challenged
actions with an unjustified discriminatory effect. Although the
Sandoval Court did not address title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.), lower courts have
similarly dismissed claims under such title.
(9) Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29
U.S.C. 794) has received different treatment by the Supreme
Court. In Alexander v. Choate, 469 U.S. 287 (1985), the Court
proceeded on the assumption that the statute itself prohibited
some actions that had a disparate impact on disabled
individuals--an assumption borne out by congressional
statements made during passage of the Act. In Sandoval, the
Court appeared to accept this principle of Alexander. Moreover,
the Supreme Court explicitly recognized congressional approval
of the regulations promulgated to implement section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in Consolidated Rail Corp. v.
Darrone, 465 U.S. 624, 634 (1984). Relying on the validity of
the regulations, Congress incorporated the regulations into the
statutory requirements of section 204 of the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12134). Nonetheless,
Sandoval creates the potential for uncertainty in the
application of critical protections of Section 504,
particularly in the lower courts.
(10) The right to maintain a private right of action under
a provision added to a statute under this Act will be
effectuated by a waiver of sovereign immunity in the same
manner as sovereign immunity is waived under the remaining
provisions of that statute.
(11) Numerous provisions of Federal law expressly prohibit
discrimination on the basis of sex, and Federal agencies and
courts have correctly interpreted these prohibitions on sex
discrimination to include discrimination based on sexual
orientation, gender identity, and sex stereotypes. In
particular, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
correctly interpreted title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
in Macy v. Holder, Baldwin v. Foxx, and Lusardi v. McHugh.
(12) In forbidding discrimination based on sex, Congress
intended to strike at the entire spectrum of disparate
treatment resulting from sex-related characteristics. The
Supreme Court correctly recognized in Price Waterhouse v.
Hopkins and Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Services that among
these characteristics are sex-stereotypes, including
masculinity and femininity. Congress reaffirmed in the
Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 that discrimination on the
basis of ``sex'' includes but is not limited to discrimination
on the basis of ``pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical
conditions.''.
(13) The absence of explicit prohibitions of discrimination
on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity under
Federal statutory law has created uncertainty for employers and
other entities covered by Federal nondiscrimination laws and
caused unnecessary hardships for LGBTQ individuals.
(14) The Supreme Court correctly recognized in Hobby Lobby
v. Burwell that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993
(RFRA) ``provides no . . . shield'' to those who ``cloak''
discrimination as ``religious practice to escape legal
sanction.'' This Act reaffirms that crucial limitation on RFRA,
that Congress did not intend for it to be used--and indeed it
cannot be used--to provide a defense against allegations of
discrimination on the basis of any protected trait.
(15) Chapter 1 of title 9, United States Code (commonly
known as the ``Federal Arbitration Act''), represented an
exercise of legislative power that required courts to recognize
private voluntary agreements to arbitrate commercial disputes
at a time when the courts were refusing to do so on grounds
that arbitration represented a usurpation of the authority of
the courts to resolve legal disputes.
(16) The Federal Arbitration Act did not, and should not
have been interpreted to, supplant or nullify the legislatively
created rights and remedies that Congress, exercising its power
under article I of the Constitution of the United States, has
granted to the people of the United States for resolving
disputes in State and Federal courts.
(17) Recent court decisions, including AT&T Mobility LLC v.
Concepcion, 563 U.S. 333 (2011) and American Express Co. v.
Italian Colors Restaurant, 133 S. Ct. 2304 (2013), have
interpreted the Federal Arbitration Act to broadly preempt
rights and remedies established under substantive State and
Federal law. As a result, these decisions have enabled business
entities to avoid or nullify legal duties created by
congressional enactment, resulting in millions of people in the
United States being unable to vindicate their rights in State
and Federal courts.
(18) States have a compelling interest in enacting rights
and remedies to protect the welfare of their citizens, and the
Federal Arbitration Act should not be, and should not have
been, interpreted to preempt State legislation that enacted
rights and remedies to protect the welfare of their citizens.
(19) The Supreme Court misinterpreted title VII of the
Civil Rights Act in establishing the Faragher-Ellerth
affirmative defense in Faragher v. City of Boca Raton and
Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth. This affirmative
defense often leaves victims of sexual harassment with no
remedy or recourse after incidence of sexual or other
harassment. Violations of the law, and injuries to a victim and
their rights, are not cured by the existence of an anti-
harassment policy or the lack of future harm, and in a hostile
work environment taking preventative measures is not a
requirement that falls on the victim.
(20) Bringing a lawsuit to vindicate civil rights is
financially risky, and law firms, whether large or small, are
unlikely to take such cases on. Congress enacted the Civil
Rights Attorney's Fees Award Act of 1976 in order to make
lawsuits to vindicate civil rights more accessible to potential
plaintiffs. The Supreme Court correctly recognized in City of
Riverside v. Rivera that the effectuation of congressional
intent requires viable civil rights lawsuits, which are
dependent on the availability of private enforcement mechanisms
and the corresponding availability of attorney's fees.
(21) However, the Supreme Court incorrectly held that the
``catalyst theory'' is not a permissible basis for the award of
attorney's fees in Buckhannon v. West Virginia Department of
Health & Human Resources. In doing so, the Court deprived
plaintiffs who effectively win a lawsuit through a settlement,
from receiving pre-trial attorney's fees. Congress enacted fee-
shifting provisions in civil rights laws to encourage private
enforcement of those laws, and fees must be awarded when a
lawsuit vindicates the rights Congress sought to secure. In
disapproving of the ``catalyst theory'' the Court incentivized
potential defendants to draw out the pre-trial process and
settle at the last second, making the lawsuit too expensive for
the average victim to undertake and too risky for the average
attorney to accept a civil rights case.
(22) The Civil Rights Act of 1964, and other civil rights
laws that followed it, were written, in part, to banish rampant
disparate treatment on the basis of race from American society.
Congress sought to overcome the pervasive, racist ideology that
Black traits were inferior by prohibiting discrimination, and
intended the Act to be interpreted broadly--encompassing race
and all its attributes, especially those traits historically
associated with race.
(23) ``Blackness'' and its associated physical traits, such
as dark skin and kinky and curly hair, have too often been
equated with inferiority and ``unprofessionalism.''
Professionalism was, and still is, closely linked to European
features and mannerisms, which entails that those who do not
naturally fall into Eurocentric norms must alter their
appearances, sometimes drastically and permanently, in order to
be deemed professional. Such norms are, on their face, proxies
for race.
(24) Federal courts have correctly interpreted, e.g. that
title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits
discrimination on the basis of race, and thus protect
individuals from discrimination against afros. However, the
courts have yet to accept that the Act outlaws dress codes and
grooming policies that prohibit any natural presentation of
Black hair, including afros, braids, twists, and locks.
Although purportedly ``race-neutral'', these policies have a
disparate impact on Black individuals as they are more likely
to deter, burden, or punish Black individuals than any other
group. Therefore, hair discrimination targeting hairstyles
associated with race is racial discrimination.

(c) Age Discrimination Act of 1975.--Section 303 of the Age

(2) by adding at the end the following:

H. R. 700
To treat certain liquidations of new motor vehicle inventory as
qualified liquidations of LIFO inventory for purposes of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 1, 2023
Mr. Arrington (for himself and Mr. Kildee) introduced the following
bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To treat certain liquidations of new motor vehicle inventory as
qualified liquidations of LIFO inventory for purposes of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986.
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 ``Supply Chain Disruptions Relief
Act''.
SEC. 2. TREATMENT OF CERTAIN LIQUIDATIONS OF NEW MOTOR VEHICLE
INVENTORY AS QUALIFIED LIQUIDATIONS OF LIFO INVENTORY.
(a) In General.--In the case of any dealer of new motor vehicles
which inventories new motor vehicles under the LIFO method for any
specified taxable year, the requirements of paragraphs (1)(B) and (2)
of section 473(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall be treated
as satisfied with respect to such inventory for such taxable year.
(b) Additional Relief.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary shall, not later than the
date which is 90 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act, prescribe regulations or other guidance under which
dealers of new motor vehicles with a qualified liquidation
(determined after application of subsection (a)) of new motor
vehicles for any specified taxable year may elect--
(A) to not recognize any income in the specified
taxable year which is solely attributable to such
qualified liquidation, and
(B) to treat the replacement period with respect to
such liquidation as being the period beginning with the
first taxable year after such specified taxable year
and ending with the earlier of--
(i) the first taxable year after such
liquidation with respect to which such dealer
does not inventory new motor vehicles under the
LIFO method, or
(ii) the last taxable year ending before
January 1, 2026.
(2) Failure to fully replace liquidated vehicles during
replacement period.--If, as of the close of the replacement
period, the taxpayer has failed to replace all liquidated
vehicles with respect to a qualified liquidation to which
paragraph (1) applies, the taxpayer shall increase gross income
for the last taxable year of the replacement period by the sum
of--
(A) the aggregate amount of income that would have
been required to be recognized in the liquidation year
had the taxpayer elected to apply the provisions of
section 473 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and
not made the election in paragraph (1), plus
(B) interest thereon at the underpayment rate
established under section 6621 of such Code.
(3) Elections.--
(A) In general.--Except to the extent provided in
subparagraph (B), an election under paragraph (1) with
respect to any specified taxable year shall be made by
the due date (including extensions) for filing the
taxpayer's return of tax for such taxable year and in
such manner as the Secretary may prescribe. Once made,
any such election shall be irrevocable.
(B) Certain elections treated as change in method
of accounting.--In the case of an election with respect
to a specified taxable year for which the return of tax
has already been filed before the date of the enactment
of this Act, any election under paragraph (1) for such
specified taxable year may be made on the return of tax
for the first taxable year ending after the date of the
enactment of this Act and shall be treated for purposes
of section 481 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as
a change in method of accounting initiated by the
taxpayer and made with the consent of the Secretary.
(c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
(1) Specified taxable year.--The term ``specified taxable
year'' means any liquidation year ending after March 12, 2020,
and before January 1, 2022.
(2) New motor vehicle.--The term ``new motor vehicle''
means a motor vehicle--
(A) which is described in section 163(j)(9)(C)(i)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and
(B) the original use of which has not commenced.
(3) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary
of the Treasury or the Secretary's delegate.
(4) Other terms.--Except as otherwise provided in this
section, terms used in this section which are also used in
section 473 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall have the
same meaning as when used in such section 473.

H. R. 702
To protect consumers from price gouging of residential rental and sale
prices, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 1, 2023
Mr. Horsford introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Financial Services, 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 protect consumers from price gouging of residential rental and sale
prices, 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 ``Housing Oversight and Mitigating
Exploitation Act of 2023'' or the ``HOME Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. UNCONSCIONABLE PRICING OF RESIDENTIAL RENTAL AND SALE PRICES
DURING EMERGENCIES.
(a) Unconscionable Pricing.--
(1) In general.--It shall be unlawful for any person to
rent out a dwelling unit or sell any single-family housing, in
an area and during a period of a housing emergency covered by a
proclamation issued under paragraph (2), at a price that--
(A) is unconscionably excessive; and
(B) indicates the lessor or seller is exploiting
the circumstances related to a housing emergency to
increase prices unreasonably.
(2) Housing emergency proclamation.--
(A) In general.--The President may issue a housing
emergency proclamation for any area within the
jurisdiction of the United States, during which the
prohibition in paragraph (1) shall apply, that includes
the geographic area covered and the time period that
such proclamation shall be in effect.
(B) Duration.--The proclamation--
(i) may not apply for a period of more than
30 consecutive days, but may be renewed for
such consecutive periods, each not to exceed 30
days, as the President determines appropriate;
and
(ii) may include a period of time not to
exceed 1 week before a reasonably foreseeable
emergency.
(3) Factors considered.--
(A) In general.--In determining whether a person
has violated paragraph (1), there shall be taken into
account, among other factors, the aggravating factors
described in subparagraph (B) and the mitigating factor
described in subparagraph (C).
(B) Aggravating factors.--The aggravating factors
described in this subparagraph are the following:
(i) Whether the amount charged by such
person grossly exceeds the average price at
which the housing unit was offered for rental
or sale by such person during--
(I) the 30-day period before the
date on which the proclamation was
issued; or
(II) another appropriate benchmark
period, as determined by the
Administration.
(ii) Whether the amount charged by such
person grossly exceeds the price at which the
same or a similar housing unit was readily
obtainable for rental or purchase in the same
area from other sellers during the energy
emergency period.
(C) Mitigating factor.--The mitigating factor
described in this subparagraph is whether the quantity
of any housing dwelling units such person made
available for rental or sale in an area covered by the
proclamation during the 30-day period following the
date on which the proclamation was issued increased
over the quantity such person made available for rental
or sale during the 30-day period before the date on
which the proclamation was issued, taking into account
any usual seasonal demand variation.
(b) Affirmative Defense.--It shall be an affirmative defense in any
civil action or administrative action to enforce subsection (a), with
respect to the renting out or sale of housing by a person, that the
increase in the rental or sale price of such housing reasonably
reflects additional costs that were paid, incurred, or reasonably
anticipated by such person, or reasonably reflects additional risks
taken by such person, to rent or sell such housing unit under the
circumstances.
(c) Rule of Construction.--This section may not be construed to
cover a transaction on a futures market.
(d) Enforcement.--
(1) HUD.--The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
shall enforce violations of subsection (a) of this section--
(A) in the same manner, by the same means, and with
the same jurisdiction, powers, and duties as the
Federal Trade Commission has under the Federal Trade
Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.) with respect to
violations of a rule defining an unfair or deceptive
act or practice prescribed under section 18(a)(1)(B) of
such Act (15 U.S.C. 57a(a)(1)(B)); and
(B) as though all applicable terms and provisions
of the Federal Trade Commission Act were incorporated
into and made a part of this section, except that any
reference in such terms and provisions to the
Commission shall be treated as referring to the
Secretary.
(2) Enforcement at retail level by state attorneys
general.--
(A) In general.--If the chief law enforcement
officer of a State, or an official or agency designated
by a State, has reason to believe that any person has
violated or is violating subsection (a), the attorney
general, official, or agency of the State, in addition
to any authority it may have to bring an action in
State court under its laws, may bring a civil action in
any appropriate United States district court or in any
other court of competent jurisdiction to--
(i) enjoin further such violation by such
person;
(ii) enforce compliance with such
subsection;
(iii) obtain civil penalties; and
(iv) obtain damages, restitution, or other
compensation on behalf of residents of the
State.
(B) Notice.--The State shall serve written notice
to the Secretary of any civil action under subparagraph
(A) before initiating such civil action. The notice
shall include a copy of the complaint to be filed to
initiate such civil action, except that if it is not
feasible for the State to provide such prior notice,
the State shall provide such notice immediately upon
instituting such civil action.
(C) Authority to intervene.--Upon receipt of the
notice required by subparagraph (B), the Secretary may
intervene in such civil action and upon intervening--
(i) be heard on all matters arising in such
civil action; and
(ii) file petitions for appeal of a
decision in such civil action.
(D) Construction.--For purposes of bringing any
civil action under subparagraph (A), nothing in this
paragraph shall prevent the attorney general of a State
from exercising the powers conferred on the attorney
general by the laws of such State to conduct
investigations or to administer oaths or affirmations
or to compel the attendance of witnesses or the
production of documentary and other evidence.
(E) Limitation on state action while federal action
is pending.--If the Secretary has instituted a civil
action or an administrative action for violation of
subsection (a), a State attorney general, or official
or agency of a State, may not bring an action under
this paragraph during the pendency of that action
against any defendant named in the complaint of the
Secretary or another agency for any violation of this
Act alleged in the complaint.
(F) Rule of construction.--This paragraph may not
be construed to prohibit an authorized State official
from proceeding in State court to enforce a civil or
criminal statute of such State.
(e) Low-Income Housing Assistance.--
(1) Deposit of funds.--Amounts collected in any penalty
under subsection (d)(1) shall be deposited in the Housing Trust
Fund established under section 1338 of the Federal Housing
Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (12
U.S.C. 4568).
(2) Use of funds.--To the extent provided for in advance in
appropriations Acts, the amounts deposited in the Fund shall be
used to increase and preserve the supply of rental housing
affordable to extremely low- and very low-income families,
including homeless families, in accordance with such section
1338.
(f) Effect on Other Laws.--
(1) Other authority of federal housing administration.--
Nothing in this section may be construed to limit the authority
of the Secretary under any other provision of law.
(2) State law.--Nothing in this section preempts any State
law.
SEC. 3. HUD INVESTIGATION AND REPORT ON HOUSING PRICES.
(a) Investigation.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary shall conduct an
investigation to determine if the prices for rental housing
units or sale of single-family housing are being manipulated by
reducing housing capacity or by any other form of market
manipulation or artificially increased by price gouging
practices.
(2) Consideration.--In conducting the investigation under
paragraph (1), the Secretary may consider the impact of mergers
and acquisitions in the real estate industry, including mergers
and acquisitions involving developers, managers, owners, and
investors.
(b) Report.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 270 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the
Congress a report on the investigation conducted under
subsection (a).
(2) Contents.--The report shall include--
(A) a long-term strategy for the Department of
Housing and Urban Development and the Congress to
address manipulation of rental housing markets and
markets for sale of single-family housing, and in
preparing the strategy the Secretary shall utilize data
on race, gender, and socioeconomic status; and
(B) a description and analysis of how non-occupant
investors in single-family housing impact underserved
and minority communities.
(c) Exemption From Paperwork Reduction Act.--Chapter 35 of title
44, United States Code, shall not apply to the collection of
information under subsection (a).
(d) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized to be
appropriated to the Secretary to carry out this section $1,000,000 for
fiscal year 2024.
SEC. 4. HOUSING COST MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT WITHIN HUD.
(a) Establishment of the Housing Monitoring and Enforcement Unit.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary shall establish within the
Department of Housing and Urban Development the Housing
Monitoring and Enforcement Unit (in this section referred to as
the ``Unit'').
(2) Duties of the unit.--
(A) Primary responsibility.--The primary
responsibility of the Unit shall be to assist the
Secretary in protecting the public interest by
continuously and comprehensively collecting,
monitoring, and analyzing rental housing market data,
data for markets for sale of single-family housing, and
data on investor-owned, non-owner occupied housing
units, in order to--
(i) support transparent and competitive
market practices;
(ii) identify any market manipulation,
including by collecting and analyzing data on
race, gender, and socioeconomic status, any
reporting of false information, any use of
market power to disadvantage consumers, or any
other unfair method of competition; and
(iii) facilitate enforcement of penalties
against persons in violation of relevant
statutory prohibitions.
(B) Specific duties.--In order to carry out the
responsibility under subparagraph (A), the Unit shall
assist the Secretary in carrying out the following
duties:
(i) Receiving, compiling, and analyzing
relevant buying and selling activity in order
to identify and investigate anomalous market
trends and suspicious behavior.
(ii) Determining whether excessive
concentration or exclusive control of housing-
related infrastructure may allow or result in
anti-competitive behaviors.
(iii) Obtaining a data-sharing agreement
with State and local jurisdictions, housing
agencies, and relevant public and private data
sources to receive and archive information on
housing purchases by institutional investors
within a given area.
SEC. 5. INVESTIGATIONS OF EXCESSIVE HOUSING PURCHASES.
The Secretary shall monitor purchases of single-family housing in
each housing market area in the United States, as determined by the
Secretary, to determine whether any single purchaser of such housing,
including any purchaser that is an institutional investor, is
purchasing an excessive amount of such housing made available for sale
in any such market area. If the Secretary determines that any single
purchaser has purchased more than 5 percent of the single-family
housing made available for sale in any market area over a 3-year
period, or if, in aggregate, large institutional investors have
purchased more than 25 percent of the single-family housing made
available for sale in any market area over a 1-year period, the
Secretary shall conduct an investigation to determine the purposes of
and circumstances involved in such purchases, including price gouging,
market manipulation, and unfair investment practices that drive
homeowners out of the market.
SEC. 6. IDENTIFICATION OF UNFAIR SCREENING PRACTICES.
The Secretary, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Bureau of
Consumer Financial Protection shall jointly--
(1) carry out a program to collect information to identify
practices that unfairly prevent applicants and tenants of
rental housing from accessing or staying in housing, including
the establishment and use of tenant/applicant background
checks, the use of algorithms in tenant screenings, the
provision of adverse action notices by landlords and property
management companies, and the use of information regarding
tenant income sources; and
(2) submit a report to the Congress annually describing the
information collected under the program carried out pursuant to
paragraph (1).
SEC. 7. LIMITATION ON FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC INVESTMENTS.
Subpart A of part 2 of subtitle A of the Federal Housing
Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (12 U.S.C. 4541
et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following new section:
``SEC. 1329. LIMITATION ON ENTERPRISE INVESTMENTS.
``The Director shall, by regulations issued after notice and
opportunity for interested parties to comment at a public hearing,
establish standards and criteria for the purchase by the enterprises of
mortgages on multifamily rental housing as the Director considers
necessary to ensure basic renter protections and prevent egregious rent
increases for tenants in such housing.''.
SEC. 8. REVIEW OF ANTI-COMPETITIVE BEHAVIORS.
The Attorney General of the United States and the Federal Trade
Commission shall jointly conduct a review to identify any anti-
competitive behaviors in the single-family home and residential rental
markets, including anti-competitive information sharing, and not later
than the expiration of the 12-month period beginning on the date of the
enactment of this Act shall submit a report to the Congress setting
forth the findings of such review.

(1) Secretary.--Except where specified otherwise, the term
``Secretary'' means the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To authorize the Secretary of Education to award grants to eligible
entities to carry out educational programs that include the history of
peoples of African descent in the settling and founding of America, the
economic and political environments that led to the development,
institutionalization, and abolition of slavery and its impact on all
Americans, the exploration and expansion of America, impact on and
contributions to the development and enhancement of American life,
United States history, literature, the economy, politics, body of laws,
and culture, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Black History is American History
Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Since before its founding, the United States of America
has benefited from and been enhanced by the integral role
African Americans have played in our country's history and
contributions to the world.
(2) African-American history does not begin in the
Americas. It can be traced back to the great empires of West
Africa beginning in A.D. 790, which aided the establishment and
survival of colonies in America and the New World, generally,
and fought against European oppression.
(3) African Americans have represented a significant
portion of the American population from nearly 20 percent at
the signing of the Declaration of Independence, almost all of
whom, if not all, were victims of the largest forced
deportations in recorded history, the transatlantic slave trade
and resulting African diaspora. It is estimated over 10,000,000
free Africans were enslaved between the mid-fifteenth and
nineteenth centuries during the diaspora.
(4) Slavery was not abolished and African Americans not
acknowledged as American citizens until the mid-nineteenth
century, servitude did not abate their contributions to the
settlement, growth, and development of the United States, which
continued through Post-Reconstruction, Jim Crow,
industrialization, World Wars and conflicts, innovation and
inventiveness, constitutional progress, and every aspect of
American society.
(5) During the civil rights movement of the 1950s and
1960s, civil rights leaders and activists championed the fight
for equal rights, including voting rights, for all African
Americans.
(6) The seminal case of Brown v. Board of Education,
decided May 17, 1954, found that the decades-old policy of
separate but equal access to education was inherently unequal,
and the segregation of Black public-school students was no
longer the law of the land.
(7) African Americans continue to fight discrimination,
structural racism, economic inequities, and benign and overt
omission of the integral role they played in our country's rise
to greatness.
(8) A number of States have passed educational laws
requiring Black history be incorporated into the curricula of
all public schools.
(9) Congress established the National Museum of African
American History and Culture in 2003 after decades of efforts
to promote and highlight the contributions of African
Americans, which serves as an indication of the national
importance of examining Black history. Since opening in 2016,
the museum has worked to educate the public on the American
story through the lens of African-American history and culture
and provide educators, parents, caregivers, and students with
tools and resources on the African-American experience, its
national impact, race, racism, and the importance of tolerance
and inclusivity.
(10) According to a 2015 research study conducted by the
National Museum of African American History and Culture and
reported in Research into the State of African American History
and Culture in K-12 Public Schools, key findings indicated that
teachers considered Black history as influential in
understanding the complexity of United States history.
(11) The importance of Black history is reflected in the
National Assessment of Educational Progress United States
History framework, from pre-colonization through contemporary
America.
(12) The Federal Government, through support for
educational activities of national museums established under
Federal law, can assist teachers in efforts to incorporate
historically accurate instruction on the comprehensive history
of African Americans and students in their exploration of Black
history as an integral part of American history.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 707
To require a study of the barriers to conservation practice adoption on
leased agricultural land, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 1, 2023
Ms. Brownley introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Agriculture
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require a study of the barriers to conservation practice adoption on
leased agricultural land, 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 ``Conservation for Agricultural Leased
Land Act'' or the ``CALL Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) According to a 2016 study by the Economic Research
Service of the Department of Agriculture, 39 percent of
agricultural land in the United States is leased, including the
majority (53 percent) of cropland.
(2) The participation of landowners and tenants in Federal,
State, and local conservation programs, and the adoption of
conservation practices on land that they own or manage, can be
limited by a wide range of factors that are not fully
understood.
(3) Much of the limited information that is known comes
from the Tenure, Ownership, and Transition of Agricultural Land
(TOTAL) Survey conducted by the National Agricultural
Statistics Service, in collaboration with the Economic Research
Service; regularly recurring data collection through the TOTAL
Survey and other Department of Agriculture reports is vital to
understanding land tenure trends, challenges, and
opportunities.
(4) Some of the potential barriers to such participation
and adoption include the structure or term of the lease or
rental agreement, the level of independence given to the
operator, the awareness of the landowner of both conservation
practice and program opportunities and the costs and benefits
associated with those opportunities, and other policy or market
factors.
(5) The solutions to these issues are unlikely to be ``one
size fits all'' and must be better understood.
SEC. 3. STUDY.
(a) In General.--The Secretary shall carry out a study of the
participation in conservation programs of, and the adoption of
conservation practices on, leased agricultural land.
(b) Collaboration.--The study under this section shall be carried
out in collaboration with the Economic Research Service.
(c) Contents.--The study carried out under this section shall
include--
(1) a review of relevant existing research literature,
including--
(A) the Tenure, Ownership, and Transition of
Agricultural Land (TOTAL) Survey conducted by the
National Agricultural Statistics Service, in
collaboration with the Economic Research Service; and
(B) the report titled ``Understanding and
Activating Non-Operating Landlords'', published by the
American Farmland Trust in September, 2020;
(2) a review of initiatives conducted by the Cooperative
Extension System to increase the adoption of conservation
practices on leased agricultural land;
(3) identification and quantification of the various types
and structures of current agricultural land leasing
relationships;
(4) research on the history, and estimation of future
trends, of agricultural land ownership;
(5) examination of what leasing models have been effective
in encouraging the adoption of conservation practices;
(6) consideration of regional variations;
(7) examination of existing Federal incentives for adopting
conservation practices, and the degree to which such incentives
are currently utilized with respect to leased agricultural
lands;
(8) research on State and local incentive programs that are
encouraging conservation practice adoption on leased
agricultural land;
(9) research on the benefits of transitioning from land
leasing to land ownership on conservation practice adoption and
Federal conservation program participation;
(10) examination of the effects of competition in cash
rents on the adoption of conservation practices on leased
agricultural lands;
(11) examination of what happens to conservation practices
currently underway on leased agricultural land when new tenants
take over such land; and
(12) research on how the Department of Agriculture
communicates regarding conservation practice adoption to
farmers and ranchers who do not own the land they operate and
to landowners who lease out their agricultural land.
(d) Consideration.--The study under this section shall be carried
out with particular consideration of farmers and ranchers who are
people of color, including Black and indigenous farmers and ranchers,
and beginning farmers and ranchers.
(e) Report.--Not later than December 31, 2024, the Secretary shall
submit to Congress a report containing--
(1) the results of the study conducted under this section;
and
(2) recommendations, based on such study, for addressing
the barriers unique to various agricultural land leasing
relationships to adopting conservation practices on leased
agricultural land, including--
(A) recommendations that can be implemented under
existing statutory authorities;
(B) recommendations that would require
congressional authorization in order to be implemented;
and
(C) recommendations for outreach.
(f) Implementation.--The Secretary may enter into an agreement with
a non-Federal entity (such as a nonprofit entity or university),
selected through an application process, to carry out this section.
(g) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Leased agricultural land.--The term ``leased
agricultural land'' means agricultural land that is operated,
under a lease or other rental agreement, by a farmer or rancher
who does not own the land.
(2) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary
of Agriculture, acting through the National Agricultural
Statistics Service.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To posthumously award a Congressional gold medal to Muhammad Ali, in
recognition of his contributions to the Nation.
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 ``Muhammad Ali Congressional Gold
Medal Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr., on January 17, 1942,
in Louisville, Kentucky, Muhammad Ali was the first child of
Cassius, Sr., and Odessa Clay.
(2) Muhammad Ali was one of the most celebrated athletes of
the 20th century. He produced some of America's greatest sports
memories, from winning a gold medal at the 1960 Summer Olympics
to lighting the Olympic torch at the 1996 Summer Olympics.
(3) After an impressive amateur career, during which he
recorded 131 wins and only 7 losses and won 2 National AAU
light heavyweight titles, Muhammad Ali became the first
professional boxer in history to capture the heavyweight title
3 separate times.
(4) Muhammad Ali defeated every challenger he faced in the
ring. But, on April 28, 1967, he was stripped of his boxing
title and barred from competing for being a conscientious
objector to the war in Vietnam on religious and moral grounds.
However, following a unanimous United States Supreme Court
decision in 1971, Muhammad Ali's conscientious objector status
was confirmed, his boxing license was reinstated, and he was
cleared of any wrongdoing.
(5) As an African American and a Muslim who lived in an era
that continued to question his civil rights, Muhammad Ali
battled issues of race and religion, and received recognition
as one of the champions of the Civil Rights Movement in the
United States.
(6) Muhammad Ali was the recipient of many awards for his
sporting prowess and his support of racial harmony, including
the Dr. Martin Luther King Memorial Award, the Spirit of
America Award, the Amnesty International Lifetime Achievement
Award, the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage, the Essence Living
Legend Award, the Rainbow Coalition Lifetime Achievement Award,
the XNBA Human Spirit Award, the Presidential Citizens Medal,
and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
(7) Muhammad Ali was acknowledged by many organizations for
his achievements both inside and outside the boxing ring,
including being crowned ``Sportsman of the Century'' by Sports
Illustrated, being named ``Athlete of the Century'' by GQ
magazine, being named ``Sports Personality of the Century'' by
the British Broadcasting Corporation, being named ``Kentucky
Athlete of the Century'' by the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame,
being named ``Kentuckian of the Century'' by the State of
Kentucky, being named ``Louisvillian of the Century'' by the
Advertising Club of Louisville, being named ``Boxer of the
Century'' by the World Sports Awards of the Century, being
recognized by the International Boxing Hall of Fame, and
receiving honorary doctorate degrees from Muhlenberg College
and Western Kentucky University, as well as an honorary
doctorate of humanities at Princeton University's 260th
graduation ceremony.
(8) Muhammad Ali received the prestigious ``Otto Hahn Peace
Medal in Gold'' from the United Nations Association of Germany
for his work with the United Nations and the Civil Rights
Movement in the United States.
(9) Muhammad Ali was selected by the California
Bicentennial Foundation for the U.S. Constitution for
personifying the vitality of the Bill of Rights in various
high-profile activities.
(10) Despite having been diagnosed with Parkinson's
Syndrome in the early 1980s, Muhammad Ali dedicated his life to
the cause of universal human rights and freedom. His commitment
to equal justice and peace touched the lives of hundreds of
thousands of people worldwide.
(11) President Jimmy Carter asked Muhammad Ali to meet with
African leaders in Tanzania, Kenya, Nigeria, Liberia, and
Senegal as part of President Carter's diplomatic efforts on
behalf of human rights in the 1980s.
(12) In 1990, Muhammad Ali traveled to the Middle East to
seek the release of American and British hostages that were
being held as human shields in the first Gulf War. As a result
of his intervention, 15 United States hostages were freed on
December 2nd of that year.
(13) In 1998, Muhammad Ali was chosen as the ``U.N.
Messenger of Peace''.
(14) Several Presidents of the United States recognized
Muhammad Ali, including President George W. Bush who, on
November 17, 2002, called him ``a man of peace'' and stated
that ``across the world, billions of people know Muhammad Ali
as a brave, compassionate, and charming man, and the American
people are proud to call Muhammad Ali one of our own'',
President Bill Clinton who stated that Muhammad Ali ``captured
the world's imagination and its heart. Outside the ring,
Muhammad Ali has dedicated his life to working for children,
feeding the hungry, supporting his faith, and standing up for
racial equality. He always fought for a just and more humane
world, breaking down barriers here in America and around the
world. There is no telling how many tens of millions of people
had their hearts swell with pride and their eyes swell with
tears in 1996 when Muhammad Ali lit the Olympic torch, because
we know, now and forever, he is the greatest'', President Jimmy
Carter who cited Muhammad Ali as ``Mr. International
Friendship'', and President Barack Obama who, as a Senator, had
a framed picture of Muhammad Ali hanging in his office, and
before announcing his intentions to run for President, Obama
visited with Muhammad Ali at the Ali Center in Louisville,
Kentucky.
(15) Muhammad Ali encouraged humanity through his
perseverance and the support of thousands of people. He helped
such organizations as the Chicago-based adoption agency, The
Cradle; the Make-A-Wish Foundation; the Special Olympics'
organization, Best Buddies; and Herbert E. Birch Services, an
organization that runs a school for handicapped children and
young adults, in addition to a summer camp for children with
AIDS.
(16) Muhammad Ali and his wife Lonnie were the founding
directors of the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center in Phoenix,
Arizona, and helped raise over $50,000,000 for Parkinson's
research. The Center's mission is to provide excellence in
treatment, research, and education for patients and families
affected by Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders,
regardless of their ability to pay.
(17) Muhammad Ali was an inspiration to countless
individuals with Parkinson's disease, including members of the
Rock Steady Boxing Foundation in Indianapolis, Indiana, which
was founded to give people with Parkinson's disease hope by
improving their quality of life using boxing for fitness.
(18) Muhammad Ali was one of the founding members of
Athletes for Hope, an organization created by a few very
successful athletes of exemplary character who have a deep
commitment to charitable and community causes.
(19) Muhammad Ali also established the Muhammad Ali Center
in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, which promotes
respect, hope, and understanding, and inspires people
everywhere to be as great as they can be. A visitor of the
Muhammad Ali Center experiences the ``hows'' of Ali's life: How
he found the courage, the dedication, and the discipline to
become a world champion; how he found the conviction to stand
up for what he believed; and how he turned his passion for
excellence in the ring to a passion for peace on the world
stage.
(20) Like Muhammad Ali himself, the Muhammad Ali Center
focuses on what brings individuals together, not what sets them
apart, and is a ``global gathering place'' to which people can
come, both online and in person, to learn, share, and celebrate
our commonalities as human beings and to formulate ways of
advancing humanity.
(21) Muhammad Ali helped to provide more than 22,000,000
aid packets to assist people in need, and until the last years
of his life, he traveled, on average, more than 200 days per
year for humanitarian causes.
(22) Muhammad Ali, known simply as ``the greatest,''
transcended the glamour and glory of being a sports champion to
become not only one of the greatest sports figures, but one of
the greatest role models of our time.
(23) On June 3, 2016, Muhammad Ali died at the age of 74.
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,
of a gold medal of appropriate design, to Muhammad Ali, in recognition
of his contributions to the Nation.
(b) Design and Striking.--For the purpose of the presentation
referred to in subsection (a), the Secretary of the Treasury
(hereinafter in this Act referred to as the ``Secretary'') shall strike
a gold medal with suitable emblems, devices, and inscriptions to be
determined by the Secretary.
(c) Transfer of Medal After Presentation.--Following the
presentation of the gold medal in honor of Muhammad Ali under
subsection (a), the gold medal shall be given to his wife, Lonnie Ali.
SEC. 4. DUPLICATE MEDALS.
Under such regulations as the Secretary may prescribe, the
Secretary may strike and sell duplicates in bronze of the gold medal
struck pursuant to section 3 at a price sufficient to cover the cost of
the bronze medals, including labor, materials, dies, use of machinery,
and overhead expenses.
SEC. 5. NATIONAL MEDALS.
The medals struck under this Act are national medals for purposes
of chapter 51 of title 31, United States Code.
SEC. 6. AUTHORITY TO USE FUND AMOUNTS; PROCEEDS OF SALE.
(a) Authority To Use Fund Amounts.--There is authorized to be
charged against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund such
amounts as may be necessary to pay for the costs of the medals struck
under this Act.
(b) Proceeds of Sale.--Amounts received from the sale of duplicate
bronze medals authorized under section 4 shall be deposited into the
United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.

resolution. The previous question shall be considered as
ordered on the motion to its adoption without intervening
motion. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the motion is

Commission joint resolution and against its consideration are
waived. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on

committees shall report the Commission joint resolution without

(3) Proceeding.--Notwithstanding rule XXII of the Standing
Rules of the Senate, it is in order, not later than 2 days of
session after the date on which a Commission joint resolution
is reported or discharged from all committees to which the
Commission joint resolution was referred, for the majority
leader of the Senate or the designee of the majority leader to
move to proceed to the consideration of the Commission joint
resolution. It shall also be in order for any Member of the
Senate to move to proceed to the consideration of the
Commission joint resolution at any time after the conclusion of
such 2-day period. A motion to proceed is in order even though
a previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed to. All
points of order against the motion to proceed to the Commission
joint resolution are waived. The motion to proceed is not
debatable. The motion is not subject to a motion to postpone. A
motion to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to
or disagreed to shall not be in order. If a motion to proceed
to the consideration of the Commission joint resolution is
agreed to, the Commission joint resolution shall remain the
unfinished business until disposed of. All points of order
against a Commission joint resolution and against consideration
of the Commission joint resolution are waived.
(4) No amendments.--An amendment to a Commission joint
resolution, or a motion to postpone, or a motion to proceed to
the consideration of other business, or a motion to recommit
the Commission joint resolution, is not in order.
(5) Rulings of the chair on procedure.--Appeals from the
decisions of the Chair relating to the application of the rules
of the Senate, as the case may be, to the procedure relating to
a Commission joint resolution shall be decided without debate.

resolution, a House receives from the other House a Commission
joint resolution of the other House--
(A) the Commission joint resolution of the other
House shall not be referred to a committee; and
(B) the procedure in the receiving House shall be
the same as if no Commission joint resolution had been
received from the other House until the vote on
passage, when the Commission joint resolution received
from the other House shall supplant the Commission
joint resolution of the receiving House.
(2) Revenue measures.--This subsection shall not apply to
the House of Representatives if a Commission joint resolution
received from the Senate is a revenue measure.
(f) Rules To Coordinate Action With Other House.--
(1) Treatment of commission joint resolution of other
house.--If a Commission joint resolution is not introduced in
the Senate or the Senate fails to consider a Commission joint
resolution under this section, the Commission joint resolution
of the House of Representatives shall be entitled to expedited
floor procedures under this section.
(2) Treatment of companion measures in the senate.--If,
following passage of a Commission joint resolution in the
Senate, the Senate then receives from the House of
Representatives a Commission joint resolution, the House-passed
Commission joint resolution shall not be debatable. The vote on
passage of the Commission joint resolution in the Senate shall
be considered to be the vote on passage of the Commission joint
resolution received from the House of Representatives.
(3) Vetoes.--If the President vetoes a Commission joint
resolution, consideration of a veto message in the Senate under
this paragraph shall be 10 hours equally divided between the
majority and minority leaders of the Senate or the designees of
the majority and minority leaders of the Senate.
(g) Exercise of Rulemaking Power.--This section is enacted by
Congress--
(1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate
and House of Representatives, respectively, and as such it is
deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but
applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in
that House in the case of a Commission joint resolution, and it
supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is
inconsistent with such rules; and
(2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of
either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the
procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and
to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that
House.

H. R. 712
To reimburse the States for border security expenses, and for other
purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 1, 2023
Mr. Crenshaw (for himself, Mr. Ellzey, Mr. Moran, Mr. Pfluger, Mr.
Jackson of Texas, Mr. Weber of Texas, Ms. De La Cruz, Mr. Arrington,
Mr. Roy, Ms. Van Duyne, and Mr. Babin) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To reimburse the States for border security expenses, 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 ``State Border Security Reimbursement
Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Border security is primarily a Federal responsibility.
(2) Due to failures of the Federal Government, the State of
Texas has been forced to provide resources for border security.
(3) Since the 2008-2009 biennium budget, Texas has
allocated more than $3,208,000,000 for border security in
Texas' biennium budget disaggregated, as follows:
(A) In 2008-2009, Texas allocated more than
$110,000,000 for border security.
(B) In 2010-2011, Texas allocated more than
$120,000,000 for border security.
(C) In 2012-2013, Texas allocated more than
$222,100,000 for border security.
(D) In 2014-2015, Texas allocated more than
$510,000,000 for border security.
(E) In 2016-2017, Texas allocated more than
$800,000,000 for border security.
(F) In 2018-2019, Texas allocated more than
$663,100,000 for border security.
(G) In 2020-2021, Texas allocated more than
$782,800,000 for border security.
(H) For 2022-2023, the State of Texas Legislative
Budget Board is currently recommending an additional
$797,100,000 for border security.
(4) Citizens of border States are being taxed twice for the
same purpose.
(5) States using their taxpayer dollars and allocating
State budgets to meet public safety obligations, which fall
under Federal responsibilities, imposes an undue burden on the
State.
SEC. 3. REIMBURSEMENT.
(a) Qualification.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
States that have expended more than $2,500,000,000 on border security
and enforcement in support of Federal efforts in the ten years prior to
the date of the enactment of this Act shall have all associated
expenses reimbursed.
(b) Application.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Governors of eligible States shall submit--
(1) an accounting of all non-federally funded border
security expenses incurred by the State and its municipalities;
and

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require a background check for every firearm sale.
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 ``Bipartisan Background Checks Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. PURPOSE.
The purpose of this Act is to utilize the current background checks
process in the United States to ensure individuals prohibited from gun
purchase or possession are not able to obtain firearms.
SEC. 3. FIREARMS TRANSFERS.
(a) In General.--Section 922 of title 18, United States Code, is
amended by adding at the end the following:
``(aa)(1)(A) It shall be unlawful for any person who is not a
licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer to
transfer a firearm to any other person who is not so licensed, unless a
licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer has first
taken possession of the firearm for the purpose of complying with
subsection (t).
``(B) Upon taking possession of a firearm under subparagraph (A), a
licensee shall comply with all requirements of this chapter as if the
licensee were transferring the firearm from the inventory of the
licensee to the unlicensed transferee.
``(C) If a transfer of a firearm described in subparagraph (A) will
not be completed for any reason after a licensee takes possession of
the firearm (including because the transfer of the firearm to, or
receipt of the firearm by, the transferee would violate this chapter),
the return of the firearm to the transferor by the licensee shall not
constitute the transfer of a firearm for purposes of this chapter.
``(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to--
``(A) a law enforcement agency or any law enforcement
officer, armed private security professional, or member of the
Armed Forces, to the extent the officer, professional, or
member is acting within the course and scope of employment and
official duties;
``(B) a transfer or exchange (which, for purposes of this
subsection, means an in-kind transfer of a firearm of the same
type or value) that is a loan or bona fide gift between
spouses, between domestic partners, between parents and their
children, including step-parents and their step-children,
between siblings, between aunts or uncles and their nieces or
nephews, or between grandparents and their grandchildren, if
the transferor has no reason to believe that the transferee
will use or intends to use the firearm in a crime or is
prohibited from possessing firearms under State or Federal law;
``(C) a transfer to an executor, administrator, trustee, or
personal representative of an estate or a trust that occurs by
operation of law upon the death of another person;
``(D) a temporary transfer that is necessary to prevent
imminent death or great bodily harm, including harm to self,
family, household members, or others, if the possession by the
transferee lasts only as long as immediately necessary to
prevent the imminent death or great bodily harm, including harm
to self, and the harm of domestic violence, dating partner
violence, sexual assault, stalking, and domestic abuse;
``(E) a transfer that is approved by the Attorney General
under section 5812 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; or
``(F) a temporary transfer if the transferor has no reason
to believe that the transferee will use or intends to use the
firearm in a crime or is prohibited from possessing firearms
under State or Federal law, and the transfer takes place and
the transferee's possession of the firearm is exclusively--
``(i) at a shooting range or in a shooting gallery
or other area designated for the purpose of target
shooting;
``(ii) while reasonably necessary for the purposes
of hunting, trapping, pest control on a farm or ranch,
or fishing, if the transferor--
``(I) has no reason to believe that the
transferee intends to use the firearm in a
place where it is illegal; and
``(II) has reason to believe that the
transferee will comply with all licensing and
permit requirements for such hunting, trapping,
pest control on a farm or ranch, or fishing; or
``(iii) while in the presence of the transferor.
``(3) It shall be unlawful for a licensed importer, licensed
manufacturer, or licensed dealer to transfer possession of, or title
to, a firearm to another person who is not so licensed unless the
importer, manufacturer, or dealer has provided such other person with a
notice of the prohibition under paragraph (1), and such other person
has certified that such other person has been provided with this notice
on a form prescribed by the Attorney General.
``(4) The Attorney General shall make available to any person
licensed under this chapter both Spanish and English versions of the
form required for the conduct of a background check under subsection
(t) and this subsection, and the notice and form required under
paragraph (3) of this subsection.''.
(b) Amendment to Section 924(a).--Section 924(a)(5) of title 18,
United States Code, is amended by striking ``(s) or (t)'' and inserting
``(s), (t), or (aa)''.
(c) Rules of Interpretation.--Nothing in this Act, or any amendment
made by this Act, shall be construed to--
(1) authorize the establishment, directly or indirectly, of
a national firearms registry; or
(2) interfere with the authority of a State, under section
927 of title 18, United States Code, to enact a law on the same
subject matter as this Act.
(d) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsections (a) and (b)
shall take effect 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act.

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 1, 2023
Mr. Vicente Gonzalez of Texas (for himself, Mr. Fitzpatrick, Mr.
Correa, Mr. Cuellar, Ms. Salazar, Mr. McGovern, Ms. Garcia of Texas,
Mr. Sherman, Mr. Foster, Ms. Schakowsky, Mr. Vargas, Mr. Levin, Mr.
Neguse, Ms. Norton, and Mr. Blumenauer) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To prohibit the removal from the United States of certain veterans, to
expedite their naturalization, 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 ``Repatriate Our Patriots Act''.
SEC. 2. DEFINITION.
In this Act, the term ``special veteran'' means an individual who
is an alien and is described in section 101(2) of title 38, United
States Code, except the term--
(1) only includes individuals who were discharged or
released from the Armed Forces under honorable conditions;
(2) does not include individuals who have been convicted of
voluntary manslaughter, murder, rape, sexual abuse of a minor,
or any offense under chapter 113B of title 18, United States
Code (relating to terrorism); and
(3) does not include individuals who have been determined
to be a child abuser or a pedophile.
SEC. 3. PROTECTING SPECIAL VETERANS FROM REMOVAL.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including section 237
of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1227), a special
veteran shall not be removed from the United States.
SEC. 4. NATURALIZATION FOR SPECIAL VETERANS.
(a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a
special veteran shall be naturalized as a citizen of the United States
upon the filing of the appropriate application, paying the appropriate
fees, and, except as provided in subsection (b), taking and subscribing
before an officer of the Department of Homeland Security within the
United States to the oath of allegiance required by section 337 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1448). The Secretary of
Homeland Security shall take steps to ensure that the period in which
an application for naturalization under this section is pending does
not exceed 90 days. The Secretary shall furnish each special veteran
naturalized under this section with a certificate of citizenship.
(b) Special Veterans Abroad.--In the case of a special veteran
residing abroad, the application for naturalization may be filed from
abroad, and the oath of allegiance described in subsection (a) may be
subscribed to abroad at United States embassies and consulates.
(c) Waiver.--Consistent with section 337(a) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1448(a)), the Secretary of Homeland Security
may waive the taking of the oath of allegiance described in subsection
(a) by a special veteran if, in the opinion of the Secretary, the
special veteran is unable to understand, or to communicate an
understanding of, its meaning because of a physical or developmental
disability or mental impairment.
SEC. 5. TREATMENT OF SPECIAL VETERANS IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS OR ORDERED
REMOVED.
In the case of a special veteran in removal proceedings on the date
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall
cancel the removal of the special veteran. In the case of a special
veteran who was ordered removed before the date of the enactment of
this Act, the Attorney General shall rescind any outstanding order of
removal, and any finding that the special veteran is subject to removal
or is inadmissible. In the case of a special veteran physically present
in the United States whose status as an alien lawfully admitted for
permanent residence was rescinded before the date of the enactment of
this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall allow the veteran to
adjust status to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent
residence without regard to any numerical limitation in the Immigration
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.).
SEC. 6. RETURN OF SPECIAL VETERANS REMOVED FROM THE UNITED STATES.
Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act, the Secretary shall establish a program and application procedure
to permit special veterans removed from the United States before the
date of the enactment of this Act to enter the United States as an
alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence without regard to any
numerical limitation in the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1101 et seq.).
SEC. 7. IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIAL VETERANS.
(a) Identification.--The Secretary of Homeland Security shall
identify immigration cases involving special veterans by--
(1) inquiring of every alien processed prior to initiating
removal proceedings whether the alien is a special veteran; and
(2) keeping records of special veterans who have been
detained under the immigration laws, had removal proceedings
against them initiated before the date of the enactment of this
Act, or been removed before such date.
(b) Record Annotation.--When the Secretary has identified a case
under subsection (a), the Secretary shall annotate all immigration and
naturalization records of the Department of Homeland Security relating
to the special veteran involved so as to reflect that identification
and afford an opportunity to track the outcomes for the veteran. Such
annotation shall include--
(1) the veteran's branch of military service;
(2) whether or not the veteran served during a period of
military hostilities described in section 329 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1440); and
(3) the veteran's immigration status at the time of
enlistment.

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 1, 2023
Mr. Good of Virginia (for himself, Mrs. Miller of Illinois, and Mr.
Weber of Texas) introduced the following bill; which was referred to
the Committee on Education and the Workforce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 to
provide whistleblower protection for union employees.
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 ``Union Integrity Act''.
SEC. 2. WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION FOR UNION EMPLOYEES.
The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (29
U.S.C. 401 et seq.) is amended--
(1) by redesignating section 611 (29 U.S.C. 531) as section
612; and
(2) by inserting after section 610 (29 U.S.C. 530), the
following new section:
``whistleblower protection for union employees
``Sec. 611. (a) In General.--No labor organization shall terminate
or in any other way discriminate against, or cause to be terminated or
discriminated against, any covered employee of the labor organization
by reason of the fact that such employee, whether at the initiative of
the employee or in the ordinary course of the duties of the employee
(or any person acting pursuant to a request of the employee), has--
``(1) provided, caused to be provided, or is about to
provide or cause to be provided, information to the labor
organization, the Department of Labor, or any other State,
local, or Federal Government authority or law enforcement
agency relating to any violation of, or any act or omission
that the employee reasonably believes to be a violation of, any
provision of this Act or any other provision of law that is
subject to the jurisdiction of the Department of Labor, the
National Labor Relations Board, or the National Mediation
Board, or any rule, order, standard, or prohibition prescribed
by the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board,
or the National Mediation Board;
``(2) testified or will testify in any proceeding resulting
from the administration or enforcement of any provision of this
Act or any other provision of law that is subject to the
jurisdiction of the Department of Labor, National Labor
Relations Board, or National Mediation Board, or any rule,
order, standard, or prohibition prescribed by the Department of
Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, or the National
Mediation Board;
``(3) filed, instituted, or caused to be filed or
instituted any proceeding under this Act; or
``(4) objected to, or refused to participate in, any
activity, policy, practice, or assigned task that the employee
(or other such person) reasonably believed to be in violation
of any law, rule, order, standard, or prohibition, subject to
the jurisdiction of, or enforceable by, the Department of
Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, or the National
Mediation Board.
``(b) Definition of Covered Employee.--For the purposes of this
section, the term `covered employee' means any employee of a labor
organization who receives financial compensation for his or her
services to the labor organization, including officers of the labor
organization.
``(c) Procedures and Timetables.--
``(1) Complaint.--
``(A) In general.--A person who believes that he or
she has been discharged or otherwise discriminated
against by any person in violation of subsection (a)
may file (or have any person file on his or her behalf)
a complaint with the Secretary of Labor alleging such
discharge or discrimination and identifying the person
responsible for such act. Such a complaint must be
filed not later than either--
``(i) 180 days after the date on which such
alleged violation occurs; or
``(ii) 180 days after the conclusion of any
internal appeals, review, or other judicial or
investigative process conducted by the labor
organization employing such person.
``(B) Actions of secretary of labor.--Upon receipt
of such a complaint, the Secretary of Labor shall
notify, in writing, the person named in the complaint
who is alleged to have committed the violation, of--
``(i) the filing of the complaint;
``(ii) the allegations contained in the
complaint;
``(iii) the substance of evidence
supporting the complaint; and
``(iv) opportunities that will be afforded
to such person under paragraph (2).
``(2) Investigation by secretary of labor.--
``(A) In general.--Not later than 60 days after the
date of receipt of a complaint filed under paragraph
(1), and after affording the complainant and the person
named in the complaint who is alleged to have committed
the violation that is the basis for the complaint an
opportunity to submit to the Secretary of Labor a
written response to the complaint and an opportunity to
meet with a representative of the Secretary of Labor to
present statements from witnesses, the Secretary of
Labor shall--
``(i) initiate an investigation and
determine whether there is reasonable cause to
believe that the complaint has merit; and
``(ii) notify the complainant and the
person alleged to have committed the violation
of subsection (a), in writing, of such
determination.
``(B) Notice of relief available.--If the Secretary
of Labor concludes that there is reasonable cause to
believe that a violation of subsection (a) has
occurred, the Secretary of Labor shall, together with
the notice under subparagraph (A)(ii), issue a
preliminary order providing the relief prescribed by
paragraph (4)(B).
``(C) Request for hearing.--Not later than 30 days
after the date of receipt of notification of a
determination of the Secretary of Labor under this
paragraph, either the person alleged to have committed
the violation or the complainant may file objections to
the findings or preliminary order, or both, and request
a hearing on the record. The filing of such objections
shall not operate to stay any reinstatement remedy
contained in the preliminary order. Any such hearing
shall be conducted expeditiously, and if a hearing is
not requested in such 30-day period, the preliminary
order shall be deemed a final order that is not subject
to judicial review.
``(3) Grounds for determination of complaints.--
``(A) In general.--The Secretary of Labor shall
dismiss a complaint filed under this subsection, and
shall not conduct an investigation otherwise required
under paragraph (2), unless the complainant makes a
prima facie showing that any behavior described in
paragraphs (1) through (4) of subsection (a) was a
contributing factor in the unfavorable personnel action
alleged in the complaint.
``(B) Rebuttal evidence.--Notwithstanding a finding
by the Secretary of Labor that the complainant has made
the showing required under subparagraph (A), no
investigation otherwise required under paragraph (2)
shall be conducted, if the labor organization
demonstrates, by clear and convincing evidence, that
the labor organization would have taken the same
unfavorable personnel action in the absence of that
behavior.
``(C) Evidentiary standards.--The Secretary of
Labor may determine that a violation of subsection (a)
has occurred only if the complainant demonstrates that
any behavior described in paragraphs (1) through (4) of
subsection (a) was a contributing factor in the
unfavorable personnel action alleged in the complaint.
Relief may not be ordered under subparagraph (A) if the
labor organization demonstrates by clear and convincing
evidence that the labor organization would have taken
the same unfavorable personnel action in the absence of
that behavior.
``(4) Issuance of final orders; review procedures.--
``(A) Timing.--Not later than 120 days after the
date of conclusion of any hearing under paragraph (2),
the Secretary of Labor shall issue a final order
providing the relief prescribed by this paragraph or
denying the complaint. At any time before issuance of a
final order, a proceeding under this subsection may be
terminated on the basis of a settlement agreement
entered into by the Secretary of Labor, the
complainant, and the person alleged to have committed
the violation.
``(B) Penalties.--
``(i) Order of secretary of labor.--If, in
response to a complaint filed under paragraph
(1), the Secretary of Labor determines that a
violation of subsection (a) has occurred, the
Secretary of Labor shall order the person who
committed such violation--
``(I) to take affirmative action to
abate the violation;
``(II) to reinstate the complainant
to his or her former position, together
with compensation (including back pay)
and restore the terms, conditions, and
privileges associated with his or her
employment; and
``(III) to provide compensatory
damages to the complainant.
``(ii) Penalty.--If an order is issued
under clause (i), the Secretary of Labor, at
the request of the complainant, shall assess
against the person against whom the order is
issued, a sum equal to the aggregate amount of
all costs and expenses (including attorney fees
and expert witness fees) reasonably incurred,
as determined by the Secretary of Labor, by the
complainant for, or in connection with, the
bringing of the complaint upon which the order
was issued.
``(C) Penalty for frivolous claims.--If the
Secretary of Labor finds that a complaint under
paragraph (1) is frivolous or has been brought in bad
faith, the Secretary of Labor may award to the
prevailing labor organization a reasonable attorney
fee, not exceeding $1,000, to be paid by the
complainant.
``(D) De novo review.--
``(i) Failure of the secretary to act.--If
the Secretary of Labor has not issued a final
order within 210 days after the date of filing
of a complaint under this subsection, or within
90 days after the date of receipt of a written
determination, the complainant may bring an
action at law or equity for de novo review in
the appropriate district court of the United
States having jurisdiction, which shall have
jurisdiction over such an action without regard
to the amount in controversy, and which action
shall, at the request of either party to such
action, be tried by the court with a jury.
``(ii) Procedures.--A proceeding under
clause (i) shall be governed by the same legal
burdens of proof specified in paragraph (3).
The court shall have jurisdiction to grant all
relief necessary to make the employee whole,
including injunctive relief and compensatory
damages, including--
``(I) reinstatement with the same
seniority status that the employee
would have had, but for the discharge
or discrimination;
``(II) the amount of back pay, with
interest; and
``(III) compensation for any
special damages sustained as a result
of the discharge or discrimination,
including litigation costs, expert
witness fees, and reasonable attorney
fees.
``(E) Other appeals.--Unless the complainant brings
an action under subparagraph (D), any person adversely
affected or aggrieved by a final order issued under
subparagraph (A) may file a petition for review of the
order in the United States Court of Appeals for the
circuit in which the violation with respect to which
the order was issued, allegedly occurred or the circuit
in which the complainant resided on the date of such
violation, not later than 60 days after the date of the
issuance of the final order of the Secretary of Labor
under subparagraph (A). Review shall conform to chapter
7 of title 5, United States Code. The commencement of
proceedings under this subparagraph shall not, unless
ordered by the court, operate as a stay of the order.
An order of the Secretary of Labor with respect to
which review could have been obtained under this
subparagraph shall not be subject to judicial review in
any criminal or other civil proceeding.
``(5) Failure to comply with order.--
``(A) Actions by the secretary.--If any person has
failed to comply with a final order issued under
paragraph (4), the Secretary of Labor may file a civil
action in the United States district court for the
district in which the violation was found to have
occurred, or in the United States district court for
the District of Columbia, to enforce such order. In
actions brought under this paragraph, the district
courts shall have jurisdiction to grant all appropriate
relief including injunctive relief and compensatory
damages.
``(B) Civil actions to compel compliance.--A person
on whose behalf an order was issued under paragraph (4)
may commence a civil action against the person to whom
such order was issued to require compliance with such
order. The appropriate United States district court
shall have jurisdiction, without regard to the amount
in controversy or the citizenship of the parties, to
enforce such order.
``(C) Award of costs authorized.--The court, in
issuing any final order under this paragraph, may award
costs of litigation (including reasonable attorney and
expert witness fees) to any party, whenever the court
determines such award is appropriate.
``(D) Mandamus proceedings.--Any nondiscretionary
duty imposed by this section shall be enforceable in a
mandamus proceeding brought under section 1361 of title
28, United States Code.
``(d) Limitation of Preemption.--Nothing in this Act shall be
construed--
``(1) to limit the ability of members of a labor
organization to remove their elected or appointed officials
through a democratic election conducted among such members; or
``(2) to preempt a State or local government from providing
additional protections to employees of labor organizations who
allege violations of subsection (a), provided that such
protections do not limit the ability of members of a labor
organization to remove their elected or appointed officials
through a democratic ballot.
``(e) Unenforceability of Certain Agreements.--
``(1) No waiver of rights and remedies.--Notwithstanding
any other provision of law, the rights and remedies provided
for in this section may not be waived by any agreement, policy,
form, or condition of employment, including by any predispute
arbitration agreement.
``(2) No predispute arbitration agreements.--
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no predispute
arbitration agreement shall be valid or enforceable to the
extent that it requires arbitration of a dispute arising under
this section.''.

1st Session
H. R. 722
To decrease dependency on People's Republic of China manufacturing and
decrease migration due to lost regional economic opportunities.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 1, 2023
Mr. Green of Tennessee introduced the following bill; which was
referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, for a period to be subsequently
determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such
provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To decrease dependency on People's Republic of China manufacturing and
decrease migration due to lost regional economic opportunities.
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 ``Western Hemisphere Nearshoring
Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Our neighbors in the Western Hemisphere play a vital
role in ensuring peace, security, and democracy.
(2) Instability and lack of economic opportunities in the
region are major drivers of migration in violation of the
Immigration and Nationality Act.
(3) According to the United States Census Bureau, in 2021
the United States exported $174.62 billion worth of goods to
Central and South America, and imported $121 billion.
(4) The United States is a net exporter with Central and
South America.
(5) Economic growth and development of the Western
Hemisphere brings essential strength and stability to the
region.
(6) There is significant opportunity to expand the free
flow of goods and services in the Western Hemisphere.
(7) Closer relations among the Americas through free trade
agreements and trade liberalization would encourage further
economic development and stability in the region.
(8) The United States should exercise its influence to
encourage privatization, free markets, and economic cooperation
in the region.
(9) Countries in the region should combat corruption,
strengthen the rule of law, reduce bureaucratic red tape,
streamline permitting, and embrace free market principles to
encourage further private sector investment.
(10) With cooperation from the United States, regional
countries must take serious steps to curb migration in
violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
(11) The Western Hemisphere has supply chains that are
vulnerable due to their over dependence on the People's
Republic of China.
(12) Free trade and expanded commercial ties between the
United States and Western Hemisphere partners will foster
economic and commercial cooperation, increase investment
opportunities, decrease migration in violation of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, reduce our dependence on the
People's Republic of China, and create jobs for American
workers.
SEC. 3. USE OF UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT FINANCE
