To improve the procedures of the national instant criminal background
check system in the case of firearm transfers by federally licensed

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 2, 2023
Mr. Schneider (for himself, Mr. Quigley, and Mr. Panetta) introduced
the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the
Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To improve the procedures of the national instant criminal background
check system in the case of firearm transfers by federally licensed
firearms importers, manufacturers, and dealers before the completion of
the related criminal background check, and to provide for annual
reports on default firearm transfers.
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 ``Default Proceed Sale Transparency
Act''.
SEC. 2. IMPROVEMENT OF NICS PROCEDURES IN THE CASE OF DEFAULT FIREARM
TRANSFERS.
(a) Requirement That Federally Licensed Firearm Importers,
Manufacturers, and Dealers Report Default Firearm Transfers.--
(1) In general.--Section 922(t) of title 18, United States
Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
``(7) A licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed
dealer who transfers a firearm in compliance with paragraph (1), but
before the national instant criminal background check system provides
the licensee with a unique identification number, shall report the
transfer to the Federal Bureau of Investigation within 24 hours. If a
State or local law enforcement authority is conducting the related
background check, the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall transmit
the report to that authority.''.
(2) Creation of online portal and telephone hotline.--
Within 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act,
the Attorney General shall create an online portal and
telephone hotline, that are to be used exclusively for the
purpose of reporting sufficient information to allow the
Federal Bureau of Investigation to prioritize background checks
in accordance with section 40901 of title 34, United States
Code.
(b) Prioritization of NICS Background Checks Relating to Default
Firearm Transfers.--Section 103 of the Brady Handgun Violence
Prevention Act (34 U.S.C. 40901) is amended by adding at the end the
following:
``(m) Prioritization of Background Checks Related to Default
Firearm Transfers.--In the case of a transfer referred to in section
922(t)(7) of title 18, United States Code, the system established under
this section shall give priority to completing the background check
relating to the transfer.''.
(c) Prohibition on Destruction of Records Relating to Firearm
Transfer Before Completion of Background Check.--Section 103 of the
Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (34 U.S.C. 40901), as amended by
subsection (b) of this section, is amended by adding at the end the
following:
``(n) Prohibition on Destruction of Records Relating to Firearm
Transfer Before Completion of Related Background Check.--The system
established under this section may not destroy any records of the
system relating to a proposed or completed firearm transfer, before
completion of the criminal background check with respect to the
prospective or actual transferee.''.
SEC. 3. ANNUAL REPORTS ON DEFAULT FIREARM TRANSFERS.
(a) In General.--Within 300 days after the date of the enactment of
this Act and annually thereafter, the Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation shall make accessible to the public a written report on--
(1) the number of firearms transferred as described in
section 922(t)(7) of title 18, United States Code, during the
period covered by the report, disaggregated by State;
(2) the number of the firearms described in paragraph (1)
of this subsection with respect to which the national instant
criminal background check system established under section 103
of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act completed the
background check;
(3) of the number described by paragraph (2) of this
subsection--
(A) the number with respect to which the system
provided the unique identification number under
subparagraph (B)(i) or (C)(i) of section 922(t)(1) of
such title;
(B) the number with respect to which information
available to the system demonstrated that transfer of a
firearm to, or receipt of a firearm by, the transferee
would violate subsection (d), (g), or (n) of section
922 of such title or State, local, or tribal law; and

media platform unless such provider has verified the age of
such individual by--
(A) requiring such individual to provide a valid
identity document issued by the Federal Government or a
State or local government, such as a birth certificate,
driver's license, or passport; or
(B) using another reasonable method of verification
(taking into consideration available technology); and
(3) shall establish and maintain reasonable procedures to
protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the
personal information of users and prospective users of such
social media platform, which shall be consistent with the
procedures required under section 1303(b)(1)(D) of the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (15 U.S.C.
6502(b)(1)(D)).
(b) Enforcement.--
(1) Enforcement by federal trade commission.--
(A) Unfair or deceptive acts or practices.--A

the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C.
57a(a)(1)(B)) regarding unfair or deceptive acts or
practices.
(B) Powers of commission.--The Commission shall
enforce this section in the same manner, by the same
means, and with the same jurisdiction, powers, and
duties as though all applicable terms and provisions of
the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.)
were incorporated into and made a part of this section.
Any person who violates this section shall be subject
to the penalties and entitled to the privileges and
immunities provided in the Federal Trade Commission
Act.
(2) Actions by states.--
(A) In general.--
(i) Civil actions.--In any case in which
the attorney general of a State has reason to
believe that an interest of the residents of
such State has been or is threatened or
adversely affected by the engagement of a

or practice that violates this section, the
State, as parens patriae, may bring a civil
action on behalf of the residents of the State
in a district court of the United States of
appropriate jurisdiction to--
(I) enjoin such act or practice;
(II) enforce compliance with this
section;
(III) obtain damages, restitution,
or other compensation on behalf of
residents of the State; or
(IV) obtain such other relief as
the court may consider to be

notice described in such
subclause before the filing of
such action.
(bb) Notification.--In an
action described in item (aa),
the attorney general of a State
shall provide notice and a copy
of the complaint to the
Commission at the same time as
the attorney general files such
action.
(B) Intervention.--
(i) In general.--On receiving notice under
subparagraph (A)(ii), the Commission shall have
the right to intervene in the action that is
the subject of such notice.
(ii) Effect of intervention.--If the
Commission intervenes in an action under
subparagraph (A), it shall have the right--
(I) to be heard with respect to any
matter that arises in such action; and
(II) to file a petition for appeal.
(C) Construction.--For purposes of bringing any
civil action under subparagraph (A), nothing in this
section shall be construed to prevent an attorney
general of a State from exercising the powers conferred
on the attorney general by the laws of that State to--
(i) conduct investigations;
(ii) administer oaths or affirmations; or
(iii) compel the attendance of witnesses or
the production of documentary and other
evidence.
(3) Private right of action.--A parent of a child injured
by a violation of this section by a provider of a social media
platform may bring in a district court of the United States of
appropriate jurisdiction a civil action to--
(A) enjoin the violation;
(B) obtain compensatory damages and punitive
damages; or
(C) obtain such other relief as the court may
consider to be appropriate.
(c) Review and Report to Congress.--Not later than 18 months after
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Commission shall--
(1) review the implementation of this section, including
the effects of the implementation of this section on providers
of social media platforms, the efforts of the Commission to
ensure such providers comply with this section and the
successfulness of such efforts, any violations of this section
by such providers, and the actions taken by such providers to
verify the age and identity of users and prospective users of
the social media platforms of such providers; and
(2) submit to Congress a report on the results of the
review described in paragraph (1).

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 2, 2023
Mr. Torres of New York (for himself and Ms. Clarke of New York)
introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on
Energy and Commerce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require the Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue a consumer
product safety standard for portable electric heating devices, 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 ``Safer Heat Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY STANDARD FOR PORTABLE HEATING DEVICES.
(a) Consumer Product Safety Standard Required.--The Consumer
Product Safety Commission shall--
(1) in consultation with representatives of consumer
groups, portable heating device product manufacturers, and
independent engineers and experts and fire safety experts,
examine and assess the effectiveness of any voluntary consumer
product safety standard for portable heating devices; and
(2) in accordance with section 553 of title 5, United
States Code, promulgate a consumer product safety standard that
includes, at a minimum, a requirement that the portable heating
device shut off at a threshold determined hazardous by the
Commission, and that--
(A) is substantially the same as such voluntary
standard; or
(B) is more stringent than such voluntary standard,
if the Commission determines that a more stringent
standard would further reduce the risk of injury
associated with such device.
(b) Treatment of Standard.--A consumer product safety standard
promulgated under subsection (a) shall be treated as a consumer product
safety rule promulgated under section 9 of the Consumer Product Safety
Act (15 U.S.C. 2058).
(c) Additional Rulemaking.--After promulgating the standard
required pursuant to subsection (a), the Commission may, in accordance
with section 553 of title 5, United States Code, periodically review
and revise the standard to ensure the standard provides the highest
level of safety for portable heating devices that is feasible.
(d) Judicial Review.--Any person adversely affected by a standard
promulgated or revised under this section may file a petition for
review under the procedures set forth in section 11(g) of the Consumer
Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2060(g)).
(e) Revisions to Voluntary Standard.--
(1) Notice of adoption.--Not later than 60 days after the
date on which the Commission promulgates a consumer product
safety standard under this section that is based, in whole or
in part, on a voluntary standard, the Commission shall notify
the organization that issued the voluntary standard of the
Commission standard and shall provide a copy of the Commission
standard to the organization.
(2) Commission action on revised voluntary standard.--
(A) Notification by standards organization.--Not
later than 60 days after the date on which an
organization revises a standard that has been adopted,
in whole or in part, as a consumer product safety
standard under this section, the organization shall
notify the Commission of such revision.
(B) Adoption or rejection of revised standard.--A
revised voluntary standard described under subparagraph
(A) shall be treated as a consumer product safety
standard promulgated under section 9 of the Consumer
Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2058) effective 180 days
after the date on which the organization notifies the
Commission (or such later date specified by the
Commission in the Federal Register) unless, within 90
days after the date on which the notice is received,
the Commission notifies the organization that the
Commission has determined that the revised voluntary
standard does not improve the safety of the consumer
product covered by the standard and that the Commission
will not adopt that standard.
(f) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Commission.--The term ``Commission'' means the Consumer
Product Safety Commission.
(2) Portable heating device.--The term ``portable heating
device'' shall have the meaning given such term by the
Commission.

of the Natural Gas Act or a certificate of public convenience and
necessity under section 7 of such Act, the Commission shall, in
accordance with this section and other applicable Federal law--
(1) be the only lead agency;
(2) coordinate as early as practicable with each agency
designated as a participating agency under subsection (d)(3) to
ensure that the Commission develops information in conducting
its project-related NEPA review that is usable by the
participating agency in considering an aspect of an application
for a Federal authorization for which the agency is
responsible; and
(3) take such actions as are necessary and proper to
facilitate the expeditious resolution of its project-related
NEPA review.
(c) Deference to Commission.--In making a decision with respect to

application for a Federal authorization; and
(ii) requires information that could not
have been obtained during the project-related
NEPA review conducted by the Commission.
(B) Comments; record.--The Commission shall not,

convenience and necessity under section 7 of such Act--
(i) consider any comments or other
information submitted by such agency for the
project-related NEPA review conducted by the
Commission; or
(ii) include any such comments or other
information in the record for such project-
related NEPA review.
(e) Schedule.--

schedule is otherwise established by Federal law.
(2) Concurrent reviews.--Each Federal and State agency--
(A) that may consider an application for a Federal
authorization required with respect to an application
for authorization under section 3 of the Natural Gas
Act or a certificate of public convenience and
necessity under section 7 of such Act shall formulate
and implement a plan for administrative, policy, and
procedural mechanisms to enable the agency to ensure

a Federal authorization required with respect to an
application for authorization under section 3 of the

of the agency to conduct needed analysis or
otherwise carry out such obligations;
(iii) transmit to the Commission a

ready for processing, that includes a
comprehensive description of the
information needed for the agency to
determine that the application is ready
for processing;
(v) determine that such application for a
Federal authorization is ready for processing
for purposes of clause (iv) if such application
is sufficiently complete for the purposes of
commencing consideration, regardless of whether
supplemental information is necessary to enable
the agency to complete the consideration
required by law with respect to such
application; and
(vi) not less often than once every 90
days, transmit to the Commission a report
describing the progress made in considering
such application for a Federal authorization.
(3) Failure to meet deadline.--If a Federal or State
agency, including the Commission, fails to meet a deadline for
a Federal authorization set forth in the schedule established
by the Commission under section 15(c)(1) of the Natural Gas
Act, not later than 5 days after such deadline, the head of the
relevant Federal agency (including, in the case of a failure by
a State agency, the Federal agency overseeing the delegated
authority) shall notify Congress and the Commission of such
failure and set forth a recommended implementation plan to
ensure completion of the action to which such deadline applied.
(f) Consideration of Applications for Federal Authorization.--
(1) Issue identification and resolution.--
(A) Identification.--Federal and State agencies
that may consider an aspect of an application for a
Federal authorization shall identify, as early as
possible, any issues of concern that may delay or
prevent an agency from working with the Commission to
resolve such issues and granting such authorization.
(B) Issue resolution.--The Commission may forward
any issue of concern identified under subparagraph (A)
to the heads of the relevant agencies (including, in
the case of an issue of concern that is a failure by a
State agency, the Federal agency overseeing the
delegated authority, if applicable) for resolution.
(2) Remote surveys.--If a Federal or State agency
considering an aspect of an application for a Federal
authorization requires the person applying for such
authorization to submit data, the agency shall consider any
such data gathered by aerial or other remote means that the
person submits. The agency may grant a conditional approval for
the Federal authorization based on data gathered by aerial or
remote means, conditioned on the verification of such data by
subsequent onsite inspection.
(3) Application processing.--The Commission, and Federal
and State agencies, may allow a person applying for a Federal
authorization to fund a third-party contractor to assist in
reviewing the application for such authorization.
(g) Accountability, Transparency, Efficiency.--For an application
for an authorization under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act or a
certificate of public convenience and necessity under section 7 of such
Act that requires multiple Federal authorizations, the Commission, with
input from any Federal or State agency considering an aspect of the
application, shall track and make available to the public on the
Commission's website information related to the actions required to
complete the Federal authorizations. Such information shall include the
following:
(1) The schedule established by the Commission under
section 15(c)(1) of the Natural Gas Act.

agency to complete permitting, reviews, and other actions
necessary to obtain a final decision on the application.
(3) The expected completion date for each such action.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act to apply

the cost-sharing requirements of health insurance plans, and for other
purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Help Ensure Lower Patient Copays
Act'' or the ``HELP Copays Act''.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TOWARD COST-SHARING REQUIREMENTS.
(a) Application Toward Cost-Sharing Requirements.--Section
2715(g)(1) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300gg-15(g)(1))
is amended by adding at the end the following: ``In developing the
standards for defining the terms `deductible', `co-insurance', `co-
payment', and `out-of-pocket limit' (as described in paragraph (2)),
such standards shall provide that such terms include amounts paid by,
or on behalf of, an individual enrolled in a group health plan or group
or individual health insurance coverage, including third-party
payments, financial assistance, discounts, product vouchers, and other
reductions in out-of-pocket expenses and that such amounts shall be
counted toward such deductible, co-insurance, co-payment, or limit,
respectively.''.
(b) Conforming Amendments.--
(1) PPACA.--Section 1302(c)(3) of the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. 18022(c)(3)) is amended by
adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
``(C) Application of terms.--For purposes of
subparagraph (A), the terms `deductible',
`coinsurance', `copayment', or `similar charge' and any
other expenditure described in clause (ii) of such
subparagraph shall include amounts paid by, or on
behalf of, an individual enrolled in a group health
plan or group or individual health insurance coverage,

(42 U.S.C. 300gg-6(b)) is amended by adding at the end the
following new sentence: ``For purposes of the previous

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act were a reference to
`any item or service covered under the plan included within a
category of essential health benefits as described in (b)(1) of
such section'.''.

1st Session
H. R. 831
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide for coverage
under part B of the Medicare program for medically necessary dental
procedures.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 6, 2023
Mr. Cohen introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on
Ways and Means, 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 title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide for coverage
under part B of the Medicare program for medically necessary dental
procedures.
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 ``Medicare Medically
Necessary Dental Care Act of 2023''.
(b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Oral and general healths are inseparable, and good
dental care is critical to our overall physical health and
well-being.
(2) A 1999 Institute of Medicine study found that the
prevention and management of oral infection have significant
health implications when such infection has the potential to
increase morbidity in Medicare patients who are at risk of
adverse outcomes from underlying health problems.
(3) Improved oral health care may reduce mortality and
morbidity rates of Medicare patients suffering from head and
neck cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, organ transplantation, and
heart valve disease.
(4) The Medicare program, from its inception, has excluded
coverage for services in connection with the care, treatment,
filling, removal, or replacement of teeth or structures
directly supporting the teeth.
(5) The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has
approved coverage exceptions for limited dental services and
proposed additional exceptions based on the argument that oral
health services would reduce the risk of infection and other
complications of medical care.
(6) The Institute of Medicine study concluded that it is
reasonable for Congress to update the statutory language
relating to coverage of dental services for Medicare
beneficiaries so that it clearly covers dental care that is
effective in preventing or reducing oral and systemic
complications associated with serious medical conditions and
treatments.
SEC. 2. MEDICARE COVERAGE OF MEDICALLY NECESSARY DENTAL PROCEDURES.
(a) In General.--Section 1862 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
1395y) is amended--
(1) in subsection (a)(12)--
(A) by inserting ``(A)'' after ``except that''; and
(B) by inserting before the semicolon at the end
the following: ``, and (B) payment may be made under
part B for the provision of such dental services that
are medically necessary as a direct result of, or will
have a direct impact on, an underlying medical
condition if the coverage of such services is medically
necessary, as determined under subsection (p)''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(p) For purposes of subsection (a)(12)(B), dental services shall
be considered to be medically necessary if furnished--
``(1) in conjunction with treatment of an individual with a
prosthetic heart valve replacement or a diagnosis of cancer of
the head or neck, lymphoma, leukemia, and organ
transplantation; and
``(2) not later than one year after the later of--
``(A) the date of such diagnosis; or
``(B) the date of the related surgical or medical
treatment for that diagnosis.''.
(b) Effective Date.--The amendments made by subsection (a) shall
apply to procedures performed on or after January 1, 2024.

SEC. 3. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF DISADVANTAGED
BUSINESSES.
Congress finds the following:
(1) While significant progress has occurred due to the
establishment of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program
of the Department of Transportation under section 11101(e) of
the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58),
the ACDBE program of the Department of Transportation under
part 23 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, and the
Section 8(a) Business Development Program of the Small Business
Administration (established under section 8(a) of the Small
Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637)), discrimination and related
barriers continue to pose significant obstacles for minority-
and women-owned businesses seeking to do business in federally
assisted transportation markets across the United States and
through procurement contracts of Federal agencies.
(2) The continuing barriers described in paragraph (1)
merit the continuation of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
program, the ACDBE program, and the Section 8(a) Business
Development Program.
(3) Congress has received and reviewed testimony and
documentation of race and gender discrimination from numerous
sources, including congressional hearings and roundtables,
scientific reports, reports issued by public and private
agencies, news stories, reports of discrimination by
organizations and individuals, and discrimination lawsuits,
which show that race- and gender-neutral efforts alone are
insufficient to address the problem.
(4) Some examples of the sources described in paragraph (3)
include the following:
(A) The hearing of the Committee on Transportation
and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives held
on September 23, 2020, titled ``Driving Equity: The
U.S. Department of Transportation's Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise Program''.
(B) The hearing of the Subcommittee on Contracting
and Infrastructure of the Committee on Small Business
of the House of Representatives held on March 2, 2022,
titled ``The 8(a) Program: Overview and Next Steps to
Promote Small Business Success''.
(C) The 2017 Disparity Study of the Illinois
Department of Transportation.
(D) The 2018 Disparity Study of the City of Denver.
(5) The testimony and documentation described in paragraphs
(3) and (4) demonstrate that discrimination across the United
States poses a barrier to full and fair participation of women
business owners and minority business owners in federally
assisted transportation markets and through procurement
contracts of Federal agencies and has impacted the development
of such businesses.
(6) The testimony and documentation described in paragraphs
(3) and (4) provide a strong basis that there is a compelling
need for the continuation of the Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise program, the ACDBE program, and the Section 8(a)
Business Development Program to address race and gender
discrimination in federally assisted transportation markets and
through procurement contracts of Federal agencies.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 833
To amend titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act to provide for
enhanced payments to rural health care providers under the Medicare and
Medicaid programs, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 6, 2023
Mr. Graves of Missouri (for himself and Mr. Huffman) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and
Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on Ways and Means, and the
Budget, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in
each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the
jurisdiction of the committee concerned
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act to provide for
enhanced payments to rural health care providers under the Medicare and
Medicaid programs, 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; TABLE OF CONTENTS.
(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Save America's
Rural Hospitals Act''.
(b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) More than 60,000,000 individuals in rural areas of the
United States rely on rural hospitals and other providers as
critical access points to health care.
(2) Access to health care is essential to communities that
Americans living in rural areas call home.
(3) Americans living in rural areas are older, poorer, and
sicker than Americans living in urban areas.
(4) Between January 2010 and January 1, 2021, 137 rural
hospitals closed in the United States, according to the
University of North Carolina's Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health
Services Research, and the rate of these closures is
increasing.
(5) Four hundred and fifty-three hospitals are operating at
margins similar to those that have closed over the past decade.
Of those, 216 are considered most vulnerable to closure.
(6) Rural Medicare beneficiaries already face a number of
challenges when trying to access health care services close to
home, including the weather, geography, and cultural, social,
and language barriers.
(7) Approximately sixty percent of all primary care health
professional shortage areas are located in rural areas.
(8) Seniors living in rural areas are forced to travel
significant distances for care.
(9) On average, trauma victims in rural areas must travel
twice as far as victims in urban areas to the closest hospital,
and, as a result, 60 percent of trauma deaths occur in rural
areas, even though only 20 percent of Americans live in rural
areas.
(10) With the 453 hospitals on the brink of closure,
millions of Americans living in rural areas are on the brink of
losing access to the closest emergency room.

follows:

establish, for purposes of determining
the amount of a reduction in payment to
a recovery audit contractor under

issued by the contractor that is
overturned on appeal).

reductions.--The Secretary shall, with respect
to a recovery audit contractor, determine not
later than six months after the end of a fiscal
year--

Secretary determines to so reduce
payment to the contractor, the amount
of such payment reduction.
``(iv) Methodology for calculation of
overturned complex audit denial overturn
rate.--
``(I) Calculation of overturn
rate.--The Secretary shall calculate a
complex audit denial overturn rate for
a recovery audit contractor for a
fiscal year by--

respect to the contract entered
into under paragraph (1) by the
contractor, the number of
complex audit denials issued by
the contractor under the
contract (including denials
issued before such fiscal year

training program that receives training in a rural
training location (as defined in paragraph (7)(C)), is
an amount equal to the difference between--
``(i) the total elective rural
sustainability amount determined under
subparagraph (B) (or, in the case of an
applicable hospital not located in a rural
area, the total elective rural sustainability
amount or urban total elective rural
sustainability amount, as applicable,
determined under such subparagraph); and
``(ii) the amount (if any) the applicable
hospital otherwise receives for direct graduate
medical education costs under subsection (h) or
section 1814(l), as applicable, with respect to
each such resident.
``(B) Total elective rural sustainability amount.--
``(i) Establishment for initial cost
reporting periods.--
``(I) In general.--Subject to
subclause (II), for cost reporting
periods beginning during the first year
beginning on or after the date of the
enactment of this subsection, the
Secretary shall establish a total
elective rural sustainability amount
for time spent by each full-time-
equivalent resident in an approved
medical residency training program that
receives training in a rural training
location. Such amount shall be the
amount that the Secretary determines is
equal to the median national direct GME
training costs per full-time-equivalent
resident for 2015 described in table 9
on page 33 of the March 2018 GAO report
on Physician Workforce (GAO-18-240),
updated for each subsequent year
through the first year beginning on or
after the date of the enactment of this
subsection, by the annual percentage
increase in the consumer price index
for all urban consumers (all items;
United States city average).
``(II) Application to urban
hospitals.--For cost reporting periods
beginning during the first year
beginning on or after the date of the
enactment of this subsection, in the
case of an applicable hospital that is
not located in a rural area--
``(aa) with respect to such
residents that receive training
in a rural track or an
integrated rural track, the
total elective rural
sustainability amount per
resident shall be equal to the
amount established under
subclause (I); and
``(bb) with respect to such
residents that receive training
in a rural training location
and who are not participating
in a rural track or an
integrated rural track, the
total elective rural
sustainability amount per
resident shall be equal to 50
percent of the amount
established under subclause (I)
(referred to in this subsection
as the `urban total elective
rural sustainability amount').
``(ii) Updating for subsequent cost
reporting periods.--For each subsequent cost
reporting period, the total elective rural
sustainability amount under clause (i)(I) and
clause (i)(II)(aa) and the urban total elective
rural sustainability amount under clause
(i)(II)(bb), respectively, are equal to such
amounts determined under such clause for the
previous cost reporting period updated, through
the midpoint of the period, by projecting the
estimated percentage change in the consumer
price index for all urban consumers (all items;
United States city average) during the 12-month
period ending at that midpoint, with
appropriate adjustments to reflect previous
under- or over-estimations under this clause in
the projected percentage change in the consumer
price index for medical care services.
``(C) Clarification.--The total elective rural
sustainability amount, the urban total elective rural
sustainability amount, and the elective rural
sustainability per resident payment amount determined
under this paragraph shall not be discounted or
otherwise adjusted based on the Medicare patient load
(as defined in subsection (h)(3)(C)) of an applicable
hospital or discharges in a diagnosis-related group.
``(2) Election.--For cost reporting periods beginning on or
after the date that is 1 year after the date of the enactment
of this subsection, an applicable hospital may elect to receive
the elective rural sustainability per resident payment amount
for each full-time-equivalent resident in an approved medical
residency training program that receives training in a rural
training location in accordance with this subsection. An
applicable hospital may make an election under the preceding
sentence regardless of whether the applicable hospital is
otherwise eligible for a payment or adjustment for indirect and
direct graduate medical education costs under subsections
(d)(5)(B) and (h) or section 1814(l), as applicable, with
respect to such residents.
``(3) Application.--The provisions of this subsection, or
the application of such provisions to an applicable hospital--
``(A) shall not result in--
``(i) the establishment of a limitation on
the number of residents in allopathic or
osteopathic medicine for purposes of
subsections (d)(5)(B) and (h) with respect to
an approved medical residency training program
of an applicable hospital (or be taken into
account in determining such a limitation during
the cap building period of an applicable
hospital); or
``(ii) the counting of any resident with
respect to which the applicable hospital
receives an elective rural sustainability per
resident payment amount under this subsection
towards the application of the limitation
described in clause (i) for purposes of
subsections (d)(5)(B) and (h); and
``(B) shall not have any effect on the
determination of--
``(i) the additional payment amount under
subsection (d)(5)(B); or
``(ii) hospital-specific approved FTE
resident amounts under subsection (h).
``(4) Allocation of payments.--In providing for payments
under this subsection, the Secretary shall provide for an
allocation of such payments between parts A and part B (and the
trust funds established under the respective parts) as
reasonably reflects the proportion of such costs associated
with the provision of services under each respective part.
``(5) Eligibility for payment.--
``(A) In general.--An applicable hospital shall be
eligible for payment of the elective rural
sustainability per resident payment amount under this
subsection for time spent by a resident training in a
rural training location if the following requirements
are met:
``(i) The resident spends the equivalent of
at least 8 weeks over the course of their
training in a rural training location.
``(ii) The hospital pays the salary and
benefits of the resident for the time spent
training in a rural training location.
``(B) Treatment of time spent in rural tracks or
integrated rural tracks.--An applicable hospital shall
be eligible for payment of the elective rural
sustainability per resident payment amount under this
subsection for all time spent by residents in an
approved medical residency program (or separately
defined track within a program) that provides more than
50 percent of the total residency training time in
rural training locations, regardless of where the
training occurs and regardless of specialty.
``(6) Determination of full-time-equivalent residents.--The
determination of full-time-equivalent residents for purposes of
this subsection shall be made in the same manner as the
determination of full-time-equivalent residents under
subsection (h)(4), but not taking into account the limitation
under subparagraph (F) of such subsection.
``(7) Definitions.--In this subsection:
``(A) Applicable hospital.--The term `applicable
hospital' means a hospital, critical access hospital,
sole community hospital (as defined in subsection
(d)(5)(D)(iii)), or rural emergency hospital (as
defined in section 1861(kkk)(2)).
``(B) Approved medical residency training program;
direct graduate medical education costs; resident.--The
terms `approved medical residency training program',
`direct graduate medical education costs', and
`resident' have the meanings given those terms in
subsection (h)(5).
``(C) Rural training location.--The term `rural
training location' means a location in which training
occurs that, based on the 2010 census or any subsequent
census adjustment, meets one or more of the following
criteria:
``(i) The training occurs in a location
that is a rural area (as defined in section
1886(d)(2)(D)).
``(ii) The training occurs in a location
that has a rural-urban commuting area code
equal to or greater than 4.0.
``(iii) The training occurs in a sole
community hospital (as defined in subsection
(d)(5)(D)(iii)) or in a location that is within
10 miles of a sole community hospital.
``(8) Budget neutrality requirement.--The Secretary shall
ensure that aggregate payments for direct medical education
costs and indirect medical education costs under this title,
including any payments under this subsection, for each year
(effective beginning on or after the date that is 1 year after
the date of enactment of this subsection) are not greater than
the aggregate payments for such costs that would have been made
under this title for the year without the application of this
subsection. For purposes of carrying out the budget neutrality
requirement under the preceding sentence, the Secretary may
make appropriate adjustments to the amount of such payments for
direct graduate medical education costs and indirect medical
education costs under subsections (h) and (d)(5)(B),
respectively.''.
(b) Treatment of Critical Access Hospitals and Sole Community
Hospitals.--
(1) Critical access hospitals.--Section 1814(l) of the
Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395f(l)) is amended by adding

counting resident time for indirect medical education costs and
direct graduate medical education costs for the time spent by
the resident in that setting under subsections (d)(5)(B) and
(h), respectively, of section 1886.
``(B) Direct medical education costs shall not be
considered reasonable costs of a critical access hospital for
purposes of payment under paragraph (1), to the extent that the
critical access hospital is treated as a non-provider setting
of another hospital or another hospital receives payment for
such costs for the time spent by the resident in that setting
pursuant to subsection (d)(5)(B), subsection (h), or subsection
(u) of section 1886.''.

education costs, to the extent that the sole community hospital
receives payment for such costs for the time spent by the resident in
that setting pursuant to subsection (u).''.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Fair Investment Opportunities for

(1) by redesignating subparagraphs (i) and (ii) as
subparagraphs (A) and (F), respectively; and
(2) in subparagraph (A) (as so redesignated), by striking
``; or'' and inserting a semicolon, and inserting after such
subparagraph the following:
``(B) any natural person whose individual net
worth, or joint net worth with that person's spouse,
exceeds $1,000,000 (which amount, along with the
amounts set forth in subparagraph (C), shall be
adjusted for inflation by the Commission every 5 years
to the nearest $10,000 to reflect the change in the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) where, for purposes
of calculating net worth under this subparagraph--
``(i) the person's primary residence shall
not be included as an asset;
``(ii) indebtedness that is secured by the
person's primary residence, up to the estimated
fair market value of the primary residence at
the time of the sale of securities, shall not
be included as a liability (except that if the
amount of such indebtedness outstanding at the
time of sale of securities exceeds the amount
outstanding 60 days before such time, other
than as a result of the acquisition of the
primary residence, the amount of such excess
shall be included as a liability); and
``(iii) indebtedness that is secured by the
person's primary residence in excess of the
estimated fair market value of the primary
residence at the time of the sale of securities
shall be included as a liability;
``(C) any natural person who had an individual
income in excess of $200,000 in each of the 2 most
recent years or joint income with that person's spouse
in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a
reasonable expectation of reaching the same income
level in the current year;
``(D) any natural person who is currently licensed
or registered as a broker or investment adviser by the
Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, or an equivalent self-regulatory
organization (as defined in section 3(a)(26) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934), or the securities
division of a State or the equivalent State division
responsible for licensing or registration of
individuals in connection with securities activities;
``(E) any natural person the Commission determines,
by regulation, to have demonstrable education or job
experience to qualify such person as having
professional knowledge of a subject related to a
particular investment, and whose education or job
experience is verified by the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority or an equivalent self-regulatory
organization (as defined in section 3(a)(26) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934); or''.
(b) Rulemaking.--The Commission shall revise the definition of
accredited investor under Regulation D (17 CFR 230.501 et seq.) to

A BILL
To direct the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to establish a
grant program to help revitalize certain localities, 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 ``Restoring Communities Left Behind
Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) As the Nation continues to feel the devastating
economic impacts of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), many
urban and rural communities are still suffering from the
effects of underwater mortgages, vacancy, abandoned properties,
blight, aging housing stock, properties with deferred
maintenance and harmful materials such as lead, asbestos, and
mold, unemployment, and population loss.
(2) While some cities and counties struggle with
disinvestment and population loss, there are also pockets of
economic distress in otherwise prosperous, growing areas.
(3) Investments targeted to these communities left behind
will be critical to ensure equitable economic recovery, job
creation, and housing and neighborhood infrastructure
revitalization.
(4) The need to revitalize neighborhoods is greater than
what can be supported with existing local tax bases.
(5) Communities continue to suffer from the impact of
governmental policies and private sector practices that forbade
or discouraged mortgage lending in neighborhoods having
significant minority populations.
(6) Many State and local governments, land banks, and
nonprofit organizations across the United States have responded
to the housing crisis by creating cost-effective strategies to
revitalize neighborhoods.
(7) 2019 data from the United States Census Bureau shows
that non-Hispanic, White households have an average net worth
of $187,300, while Black households have an average net worth
of $14,100, and Hispanic households have an average net worth
of $31,700.
(8) Housing equity is a significant portion of Black and
Hispanic households' net worth, making up nearly 59 percent of
Black households' net worth, 58 percent of Hispanic households'
net worth, and 43 percent of White households' net worth,
according to the Urban Institute's calculations from the 2020
Survey of Consumer Finances.
(9) The 2008 Great Recession and the COVID-19 Recession
have exacerbated the racial wealth gap.
(10) Funding innovative local neighborhood strategies will
allow the United States to close the racial wealth gap, ensure
equitable access to housing and economic mobility, and counter
the lasting legacy of redlining policies.
(11) Despite the strong requirement to affirmatively
furthering fair housing under the Fair Housing Act, the lack of
accountability measures implemented by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development to ensure equitable use of
housing and community development dollars in Federal programs
has allowed for the perpetuation of the legacy of redlining and
neighborhood disinvestment.
(12) It is imperative that the Federal Government make
funding available for the best local strategies to increase
homeownership and preserve home equity in impacted areas,
access to safe and affordable rental housing, economic growth,
job creation, and to build on local assets to improve
communities in ways that affirmatively further fair housing.
SEC. 3. COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAM.
(a) Establishment.--Not later than the expiration of the 120-day
period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, the

community planning, engagement, organizing,
development, or neighborhood revitalization and at
least one of the following entities:
(i) A city or county government.

(B) Such local partnership will use a grant awarded
under this section to carry out neighborhood
revitalization support activities in furtherance of a
neighborhood revitalization strategy for eligible
localities.
(2) Eligible locality.--For the purposes of this section,
an eligible locality is a geographic area or areas at the
neighborhood or county level that meet at least four of the
following objective criteria of economic distress:
(A) Dwelling unit sales prices are lower than the
cost to acquire and rehabilitate, or build, a new
dwelling unit.
(B) High proportions of residential and commercial
properties are vacant due to foreclosure, eviction,
abandonment, or other causes.
(C) Low rates of homeownership.
(D) Racial disparities in homeownership rates.

(G) Population loss.
(H) Lack of private sector lending on fair and

standing government policies and private sector
practices that prevented mortgage lending in some
communities, such as redlining.
The Secretary shall establish thresholds for the criteria of
economic distress under this paragraph.
(3) Neighborhood revitalization support activities.--For
purposes of this section, neighborhood revitalization support
activities are the following:
(A) Providing assistance to existing residents
experiencing economic distress or at risk of
displacement with homeowner rehabilitation assistance,

Secretary determines are appropriate.
(B) Purchasing non-performing mortgages to assist
existing homeowners and advance neighborhood stability.
(C) Supporting the purchase and redevelopment of
vacant, abandoned, or distressed properties to create
affordable rental housing, homeownership or shared
equity homeownership opportunities, mixed-use
properties, or commercial properties. Properties
supported with assistance under this subparagraph may
be converted between rental and homeownership,
including shared equity homeownership, upon termination
of the lease or transfer of the property during the
relevant period of affordability to ensure local
community needs are met, properties do not sit vacant,
and affordability is preserved.
(D) Providing pre-purchase counseling through
housing counselors certified by the Secretary for
neighborhood revitalization support activities that
provide homeownership opportunities.
(E) Providing down payment assistance to
prospective homebuyers.
(F) Establishing and operating community land

opportunities, including shared equity homeownership
opportunities.
(G) Demolishing abandoned or distressed structures,
but only if such activity is part of a strategy that
incorporates rehabilitation or new construction and
efforts to increase affordable housing and
homeownership, except that not more than 10 percent of
any grant made under this section may be used for
activities under this subparagraph unless the Secretary
determines that such use is to replace units in an
effort to increase affordable housing or homeownership.
(H) Establishing or operating land banks to
maintain, acquire, redevelop, or sell properties that
are abandoned or distressed. Preference among
applications proposing activities under this
subparagraph shall be given to applications that
promote distribution of properties for affordable
housing and small businesses.
(I) Improving parks, sidewalks, street lighting,
and other neighborhood improvements that impact quality
of life in the targeted neighborhoods, except that not
more than 5 percent of any grant made under this
section may be used for activities under this
subparagraph.
(J) In connection with any other eligible activity
under this paragraph, working with resident leaders and
community groups to undertake community planning,
outreach, and neighborhood engagement, consistent with
the goals of increasing homeownership, stabilizing
neighborhoods, reducing vacancy rates, creating jobs,
increasing or stabilizing residential and commercial
property values, and meeting other neighborhood needs,
except that not more than 10 percent of any grant made
under this section may be used for activities under
this subparagraph.

pursuant to paragraph (3) containing any dwelling units
that are made available for rental--
(i) such units shall be available for

exceed 120 percent of the median income for the
area in which such unit is located;
(ii) if made available through a shared
equity homeownership program, shall remain
affordable for at least 30 years; and

shared equity homeownership program--
(I) shall remain affordable for a
period of years as determined by the
partnership, which shall not be shorter
than 5 years from the sale of the unit;
and
(II) shall be subject to resale or
recapture provisions that--
(aa) are established by the
partnership to ensure that the
affordability term may be met
or funds may be redeployed for
neighborhood revitalization
support activities;
(bb) may be waived in cases
of hardship or market
depreciation; and
(cc) provide that, in the
case of a resale, the
partnership may maintain
preemptive purchase options in

shared equity homeownership, the affordability terms of the new
tenure type shall be utilized upon occupancy.

1st Session
H. R. 839
To require the United States Executive Director at the International
Monetary Fund to advocate for increased transparency with respect to
exchange rate policies of the People's Republic of China, and for other
purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 6, 2023
Mr. Meuser (for himself, Mr. Donalds, and Mr. Loudermilk) introduced
the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Financial
Services
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require the United States Executive Director at the International
Monetary Fund to advocate for increased transparency with respect to
exchange rate policies of the People's Republic of China, 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 ``China Exchange Rate Transparency Act
of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) Under Article IV of the Articles of Agreement of the
International Monetary Fund (IMF), the People's Republic of
China has committed to orderly exchange rate arrangements, the
avoidance of exchange rate manipulation, and cooperation with
the IMF to ensure ``firm surveillance'' of the exchange rate
policies of the People's Republic of China. Pursuant to Article
VIII of the Articles of Agreement of the IMF, the IMF may
require the People's Republic of China to furnish data on gold
and foreign exchange holdings, including assets held by non-
official agencies of the People's Republic of China.
(2) In its November 2022 report, entitled ``Macroeconomic
and Foreign Exchange Policies of Major Trading Partners of the
United States'', the Department of the Treasury concluded,
``China provides very limited transparency regarding key
features of its exchange rate mechanism, including the policy
objectives of its exchange rate management regime and its
activities in the offshore RMB market.''. The Department
continued: ``China's lack of transparency and use of a wide
array of tools complicate Treasury's ability to assess the
degree to which official actions are designed to impact the
exchange rate.''.
(3) In that report, the Department further noted that
``China's failure to publish foreign exchange intervention and
broader lack of transparency around key features of its
exchange rate mechanism make it an outlier among major
economies and warrants Treasury's close monitoring.''.
SEC. 3. ADVOCACY FOR INCREASED EXCHANGE RATE TRANSPARENCY FROM CHINA.
The Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct the United States
Executive Director at the International Monetary Fund (in this Act
referred to as the ``IMF'') to use the voice and vote of the United
States to advocate for--
(1) increased transparency from the People's Republic of
China with respect to the exchange rate arrangements of the
People's Republic of China, including any indirect foreign
exchange market intervention through Chinese financial
institutions or State-owned enterprises;
(2) compliance by the People's Republic of China with
information requests from the IMF regarding the exchange rate
policies and holdings of the People's Republic of China,
consistent with the Articles of Agreement of the IMF;
(3) in connection with consultations with the People's
Republic of China under Article IV of the Articles of Agreement
of the IMF, the publication of any significant divergences by
the People's Republic of China from the exchange rate policies
of other issuers of currencies used in determining the value of
Special Drawing Rights; and
(4) during governance reviews of the IMF, stronger
consideration by IMF members and management of non-transparent
exchange rate policies undertaken by the People's Republic of
China when evaluating quota and voting shares at the IMF.
SEC. 4. SUNSET.
This Act shall have no force or effect on or after the date that is
30 days after the earlier of--
(1) the date that the United States Governor of the IMF
reports to the Congress that the People's Republic of China--
(A) is in substantial compliance with obligations
of the People's Republic of China under the Articles of
Agreement of the IMF regarding orderly exchange rate
arrangements; and
(B) has undertaken exchange rate policies
consistent with those of other issuers of currencies
used in determining the value of Special Drawing
Rights; and
(2) the date that is 7 years after the date of the
enactment of this Act.

1st Session
H. R. 840
To prohibit the purchase of public or private real estate located in
the United States by foreign persons, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 6, 2023
Mrs. Miller of Illinois introduced the following bill; which was
referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To prohibit the purchase of public or private real estate located in
the United States by foreign persons, 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 ``Saving American Farms from
Adversaries Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Foreign investment in United States farmland has
tripled during the past 10 years.
(2) Foreign companies and individuals have purchased
853,813 acres of agricultural land in Illinois. The purchases
are worth approximately $6.3 billion.
(3) Roughly 47 percent of rural renters pay a third or more
of their income in rent each month. The Federal Government has
done nothing to help rural Americans deal with the rising costs
in housing.
(4) Chinese nationals have led foreign investments in homes
in the United States for the past seven years. The Chinese
Communist Party is attempting to buy land in the United States,
with an emphasis on farmland to gain strategic leverage over
the United States.
(5) Foreign investors now account for almost one-third of
institutional investment in single-family rental homes in the
United States. This increases the price and makes it more
difficult for Americans to purchase a home.
(6) Increased foreign investment in Washington, DC, and
other urban areas has led to a rise in gentrification, pushing
many long-time residents out of their homes, including some of
our most vulnerable and poor communities.
(7) Foreigners have been abusing the EB-5 visa system,
which allows foreign nationals to obtain green cards if they
invest in specific business ventures. The rules to acquire an
EB-5 visa should be made more stringent.
(8) Current United States laws are designed in a way that
makes it more profitable for foreign investors to invest in
property in the United States than their country of origin.
(9) The Foreign Investment Risk Act of 2018 strengthened
the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States
(CFIUS) by among other measures giving it more jurisdiction
over real estate transactions. Specifically, CFIUS now has
jurisdiction to review purchases and leases of real estate by
foreign nationals regardless of whether the transactions
involve United States businesses. More action is still needed
to make the rules of CFIUS more strict.
(10) With each additional land purchase made by a foreign
national or foreign entity, American sovereignty is further
eroded.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON PURCHASE OF PUBLIC OR PRIVATE REAL ESTATE
LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES BY FOREIGN PERSONS.
(a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for
the 5-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act,
the President shall take such actions as may be necessary to prohibit
the purchase of public or private real estate located in the United
States by any foreign person.
(b) GAO Report.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 6 months after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the
United States shall submit to Congress a report that--
(A) details the history of purchases of public and
private real estate located in the United States by
foreign persons;
(B) provides more information on the percentage of
real estate located in the United States that is owned
by foreign persons; and
(C) offers recommendations to make it easier for
United States citizens and harder for foreign persons
to purchase real estate located in the United States,
including farmland.
(2) Form.--The report required by paragraph (1) shall be
submitted in unclassified form, but may contain a classified
annex if necessary.
SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS.
In this Act:
(1) Foreign person.--The term ``foreign person''--
(A) means--
(i) any foreign national, foreign
government, or foreign entity; or
(ii) any entity over which control is
exercised or exercisable by a foreign national,
foreign government, or foreign entity; and
(B) includes a corporation, partnership, or other
association--
(i) created under the laws of a foreign
country; and
(ii) substantially beneficially owned by
nationals of that foreign country or any other
foreign country.
(2) United states.--The term ``United States'' means the
several States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,
American Samoa, Guam, the United States Virgin Islands, and any
other territory or possession of the United States.

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 6, 2023
Ms. Norton (for herself and Mr. Beyer) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require Federal law enforcement officers to wear body cameras, 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 ``Federal Police Camera and
Accountability Act''.
SEC. 2. REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS REGARDING THE
USE OF BODY CAMERAS.
(a) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Minor.--The term ``minor'' means any individual under
18 years of age.
(2) Subject of the video footage.--The term ``subject of
the video footage''--
(A) means any identifiable Federal law enforcement
officer or any identifiable suspect, victim, detainee,
conversant, injured party, or other similarly situated
person who appears on the body camera recording; and
(B) does not include people who only incidentally
appear on the recording.
(3) Video footage.--The term ``video footage'' means any
images or audio recorded by a body camera.
(4) Facial recognition or other biometric surveillance.--
The term ``facial recognition or other biometric surveillance''
means an automated or semiautomated process that captures or
analyzes biometric data of an individual to identify or assist
in identifying an individual or an automated or semiautomated
process that generates, or assists in generating, surveillance
information about an individual based on biometric data.
(b) Requirement To Wear Body Camera.--
(1) In general.--Federal law enforcement officers shall
wear a body camera.
(2) Requirement for body camera.--A body camera required
under paragraph (1) shall--
(A) have a field of view at least as broad as the
officer's vision; and
(B) be worn in a manner that maximizes the camera's
ability to capture video footage of the officer's
activities.
(c) Requirement To Activate.--
(1) In general.--Both the video and audio recording
functions of the body camera shall be activated whenever a
Federal law enforcement officer is responding to a call for
service or at the initiation of any other law enforcement or
investigative stop (as such term is defined in section 3)
between a Federal law enforcement officer and a member of the
public, except that when an immediate threat to the officer's
life or safety makes activating the camera impossible or
dangerous, the officer shall activate the camera at the first
reasonable opportunity to do so.
(2) Allowable deactivation.--The body camera shall not be
deactivated until the stop has fully concluded and the Federal
law enforcement officer leaves the scene.
(d) Notification of Subject of Recording.--A Federal law
enforcement officer who is wearing a body camera shall notify any
subject of the recording that he or she is being recorded by a body
camera as close to the inception of the stop as is reasonably possible.
(e) Requirements.--Notwithstanding subsection (c), the following
shall apply to the use of a body camera:
(1) Prior to entering a private residence without a warrant
or in non-exigent circumstances, a Federal law enforcement
officer shall ask the occupant if the occupant wants the
officer to discontinue use of the officer's body camera. If the
occupant responds affirmatively, the Federal law enforcement
officer shall immediately discontinue use of the body camera.
(2) When interacting with an apparent crime victim, a
Federal law enforcement officer shall, as soon as practicable,
ask the apparent crime victim if the apparent crime victim
wants the officer to discontinue use of the officer's body
camera. If the apparent crime victim responds affirmatively,

seeking to remain anonymous responds affirmatively, the Federal
law enforcement officer shall immediately discontinue use of
the body camera.
(f) Recording of Offers To Discontinue Use of Body Camera.--Each
offer of a Federal law enforcement officer to discontinue the use of a

(3) Limitation.--The right to inspect subject to subsection
(j)(1) shall not include the right to possess a copy of the
body camera video footage, unless the release of the body
camera footage is otherwise authorized by this part or by
another applicable law. When a body camera fails to capture
some or all of the audio or video of an incident due to
malfunction, displacement of camera, or any other cause, any
audio or video footage that is captured shall be treated the

registered by a subject of the video footage.
(2) Body camera video footage shall be retained for not

if that superior officer reasonably asserts the video
footage has evidentiary or exculpatory value;
(D) any Federal law enforcement officer, if the
video footage is being retained solely and exclusively
for police training purposes;
(E) any member of the public who is a subject of
the video footage;
(F) any parent or legal guardian of a minor who is
a subject of the video footage; or

of the video footage, or a deceased subject's next of kin or legally
authorized designee, shall be permitted to review the specific video
footage in question in order to make a determination as to whether they
will voluntarily request it be subjected to a minimum 3-year retention
period.
(l) Disclosure.--
(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), all
video footage of an interaction or event captured by a body
camera, if that interaction or event is identified with

responses to requests for video footage that is subject to a
minimum 3-year retention period pursuant to subsection
(j)(1)(A), where a subject of the video footage is recorded
being killed, shot by a firearm, or grievously injured, shall
be prioritized and, if approved, the requested video footage
shall be provided as expeditiously as possible, but in no
circumstances later than 5 days following receipt of the
request.
(4) Use of redaction technology.--
(A) In general.--Whenever doing so is necessary to
protect personal privacy, the right to a fair trial,
the identity of a confidential source or crime victim,
or the life or physical safety of any person appearing
in video footage, redaction technology may be used to
obscure the face and other personally identifying
characteristics of that person, including the tone of
the person's voice, provided the redaction does not
interfere with a viewer's ability to fully, completely,
and accurately comprehend the events captured on the
video footage.
(B) Requirements.--The following requirements shall
apply to redactions under subparagraph (A):
(i) When redaction is performed on video
footage pursuant to this paragraph, an
unedited, original version of the video footage
shall be retained pursuant to the requirements
of subsections (i) and (j).
(ii) Except pursuant to the rules for the
redaction of video footage set forth in this
subsection or where it is otherwise expressly
authorized by this Act, no other editing or
alteration of video footage, including a
reduction of the video footage's resolution,
shall be permitted.
(m) Prohibited Withholding of Footage.--Body camera video footage
may not be withheld from the public on the basis that it is an
investigatory record or was compiled for law enforcement purposes where
any person under investigation or whose conduct is under review is a
police officer or other law enforcement employee and the video footage
relates to that person's conduct in their official capacity.
(n) Admissibility.--Any video footage retained beyond 6 months
solely and exclusively pursuant to subsection (j)(2)(D) shall not be
admissible as evidence in any criminal or civil legal or administrative
proceeding.
(o) Confidentiality.--No government agency or official, or law
enforcement agency, officer, or official may publicly disclose,
release, or share body camera video footage unless--
(1) doing so is expressly authorized pursuant to this Act
or another applicable law; or
(2) the video footage is subject to public release pursuant
to subsection (l), and not exempted from public release
pursuant to subsection (l)(1).
(p) Limitation on Federal Law Enforcement Officer Viewing of Body
Camera Footage.--No Federal law enforcement officer shall review or
receive an accounting of any body camera video footage that is subject
to a minimum 3-year retention period pursuant to subsection (j)(1)
prior to completing any required initial reports, statements, and
interviews regarding the recorded event, unless doing so is necessary,
while in the field, to address an immediate threat to life or safety.
(q) Additional Limitations.--Video footage may not be--
(1) in the case of footage that is not subject to a minimum
3-year retention period, viewed by any superior officer of a
Federal law enforcement officer whose body camera recorded the
footage absent a specific allegation of misconduct; or
(2) divulged or used by any law enforcement agency for any
commercial or other non-law enforcement purpose.
(r) Third-Party Maintenance of Footage.--Where a law enforcement
agency authorizes a third party to act as its agent in maintaining body
camera footage, the agent shall not be permitted to independently
access, view, or alter any video footage, except to delete videos as
required by law or agency retention policies.
(s) Enforcement.--
(1) In general.--If any Federal law enforcement officer, or
any employee or agent of a Federal law enforcement agency fails
to adhere to the recording or retention requirements contained
in this Act, intentionally interferes with a body camera's
ability to accurately capture video footage, or otherwise
manipulates the video footage captured by a body camera during
or after its operation--
(A) appropriate disciplinary action shall be taken
against the individual officer, employee, or agent;
(B) a rebuttable evidentiary presumption shall be
adopted in favor of a criminal defendant who reasonably
asserts that exculpatory evidence was destroyed or not
captured; and
(C) a rebuttable evidentiary presumption shall be
adopted on behalf of a civil plaintiff suing the
Government, a Federal law enforcement agency, or a
Federal law enforcement officer for damages based on
misconduct who reasonably asserts that evidence
supporting their claim was destroyed or not captured.
(2) Proof compliance was impossible.--The disciplinary
action requirement and rebuttable presumptions described in
paragraph (1) may be overcome by contrary evidence or proof of
exigent circumstances that made compliance impossible.
(t) Use of Force Investigations.--In the case that a Federal law
enforcement officer equipped with a body camera is involved in, a
witness to, or within viewable sight range of either the use of force
by another law enforcement officer that results in a death, the use of
force by another law enforcement officer, during which the discharge of
a firearm results in an injury, or the conduct of another law
enforcement officer that becomes the subject of a criminal
investigation--
(1) the law enforcement agency that employs the law
enforcement officer, or the agency or department conducting the
related criminal investigation, as appropriate, shall promptly
take possession of the body camera, and shall maintain such
camera, and any data on such camera, in accordance with the
applicable rules governing the preservation of evidence;
(2) a copy of the data on such body camera shall be made in
accordance with prevailing forensic standards for data
collection and reproduction; and
(3) such copied data shall be made available to the public
in accordance with subsection (l).

video footage recorded by a Federal law enforcement officer that
violates this Act or any other applicable law may not be offered as
evidence by any government entity, agency, department, prosecutorial
office, or any other subdivision thereof in any criminal or civil
action or proceeding against any member of the public.
(v) Publication of Agency Policies.--Any Federal law enforcement
agency policy or other guidance regarding body cameras, their use, or
the video footage therefrom that is adopted by a Federal agency or
department, shall be made publicly available on that agency's website.
(w) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this Act shall be construed
to preempt any laws governing the maintenance, production, and
destruction of evidence in criminal investigations and prosecutions.

H. R. 845
To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to create a

troubled title I schools to reduce the dropout rate.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 6, 2023
Ms. Sanchez (for herself, Mr. Bowman, Mr. Cleaver, Mr. Davis of
Illinois, Mr. Evans, Mr. Garcia of Illinois, Mr. Grijalva, Mr. Lynch,
Mr. Panetta, and Mr. Smith of Washington) introduced the following
bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and the
Workforce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to create a
demonstration project to fund additional secondary school counselors in
troubled title I schools to reduce the dropout rate.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Put School Counselors Where They're
Needed Act''.
SEC. 2. DEMONSTRATION PROJECT FOR ADDITIONAL SECONDARY SCHOOL
COUNSELORS.
Part D of title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of
1965 (20 U.S.C. 6421 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the
following:
``Subpart 4--Demonstration Project for Additional Secondary School
Counselors
``SEC. 1441. FINDINGS.
``The Congress finds the following:
``(1) Nationally, only 86.5 percent of students graduate
from high school with a regular high school diploma.
``(2) Every school year, around 520,000 American high
school students drop out without earning a high school diploma
or an alternative credential.
``(3) Only about 71 percent of American students with
limited English proficiency graduated on time from high school.
``(4) Only about 80 percent of Black students, 82 percent
of Hispanic students, and 74 percent of American Indian/Alaska
Native students graduate on time from high school with a
regular diploma, compared to 89 percent of White students and
93 percent of Asian/Pacific Islander students.
``(5) Only about 71 percent of American students with
disabilities graduated on time from high school.
``(6) High school is the final transition into adulthood
and the world of work as students begin defining their
independence and forging their own pathways. As our next
generation of leaders, our youth, are deciding their futures,
they are faced with many challenges, including peer pressure
and bullying, high-stakes testing, the challenges of college
admissions, the scholarship and financial aid application
process, and entrance into an ever more competitive job market.
Students need guidance and skills to help them navigate these
complex decisions, which have serious and life-changing
consequences.
``(7) School counseling programs are essential for students
to achieve optimal personal growth, acquire positive social
skills and values, set appropriate career goals, and realize
full academic potential to become productive, contributing
members of the world community.
``(8) Professional secondary school counselors are highly
qualified educators with a mental health perspective who
understand and respond to the challenges presented by today's
diverse student population.
``(9) The professional secondary school counselor holds a
master's degree or higher in school counseling (or the
substantial equivalent), and is certified or licensed by the
State in which the counselor works.
``(10) Professional secondary school counselors are
integral to the total educational program. They provide
proactive leadership that engages all stakeholders in the
delivery of programs and services to help the student achieve
success in school. Professional secondary school counselors
align and work with the school's mission to support the
academic achievement of all students as they prepare for the
ever-changing world of the 21st century.
``(11) Professional secondary school counselors'
opportunities to assist students are often hindered by
extraordinarily high student-to-counselor ratios. Currently,
the average student-to-counselor ratio in America's public
schools is 408 to 1. The American School Counselor Association,
the American Counseling Association, and the National
Association for College Admissions Counseling all recommend a
ratio of one school counselor to 250 students and a lower ratio
for counselors working primarily with students at risk.
``SEC. 1442. DEMONSTRATION PROJECT.
``(a) In General.--From amounts made available to carry out this
subpart, the Secretary shall carry out a demonstration project under
which the Secretary makes grants on a competitive basis to secondary
schools that receive funds under this title and have a four-year
adjusted cohort graduation rate of 60 percent or lower.
``(b) Grants.--A grant under this subpart shall be for a period of
4 years and may be used--
``(1) to provide additional school counselors during that
period; and
``(2) to provide additional resources (such as professional
development expenses or travel expenses for home visits, and
any services and materials referred to in subsection (d)) and
to pay overhead expenses.
``(c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that a
participating school should aim to provide, under subsection (b)(1),
one additional counselor per 250 students at risk.
``(d) Scope of Counseling.--The additional school counselors shall
identify students who are at risk of not graduating in 4 years and
shall provide counseling primarily to those students. The counselors
may identify such students at any time, but shall strive to identify
them before they enter grade 9. Services shall be provided as long as
necessary, including to the extent allowable and appropriate, after the
student's cohort graduation date. The counseling provided--
``(1) may include a full panoply of services, including an
individual graduation plan and other resources, such as
appropriate course placement and supplemental services (to
include not only supplemental educational services tutoring if
available at the school site, but also other tutoring as
necessary, along with supplemental books and materials); and
``(2) shall include meetings with each student so
identified and with the teachers, tutors, supplemental
educational services providers, and parents of the student, and
may also include meetings with other relevant individuals, such
as a probation officer, mentor, coach, or employer of the
student.
``(e) Supplement Not Supplant.--Funds under this subpart shall be
used to supplement, not supplant, funds from non-Federal sources. The
additional school counselors provided through funds under this subpart
must be in addition to any employees who work in the secondary school
guidance or counseling office, such as counselors, college admissions
specialists, career development specialists, guidance information
specialists, or any other professional or paraprofessional.
``(f) Additional Grant Periods.--
``(1) In general.--A school that receives a grant under
this subpart and demonstrates adequate improvement over the
period of the grant is eligible to receive a second grant for a
second period. If the school again demonstrates adequate
improvement over that second period, the school is eligible to
receive a third grant for a third period. The third grant shall
provide amounts that decrease for each year of the third period
and require the school to provide corresponding increases in
non-Federal funds.
``(2) Adequate improvement.--For purposes of paragraph (1),
a school demonstrates adequate improvement over a grant period
if the four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate increases (or
is projected to increase) by 10 percent or more over that
period.
``(g) Selection.--The Secretary shall carry out the demonstration
project in at least 10 schools. The first five schools selected to
participate shall each be from a different State.
``SEC. 1443. DEFINITION.
``(a) In General.--For purposes of this subpart, the term `regular
high school diploma' means the standard high school diploma awarded to
the preponderance of students in the State that is fully aligned with
State standards, or a higher diploma, and does not include GEDs,
certificates of attendance, or any lesser diploma award.
``(b) Special Rule.--For those students who have significant
cognitive disabilities and are assessed using an alternate assessment
aligned to alternate achievement standards, receipt of a regular high
school diploma or State-defined alternate diploma aligned with
completion of their entitlement under the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act shall be counted as graduates with a regular high school
diploma for the purposes of this Act. No more than 1 percent of
students can be counted as graduates with a regular high school diploma
under this subparagraph.
``SEC. 1444. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.
``There are authorized to be appropriated to carry out this subpart
$5,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2023 through 2026.''.
SEC. 3. CONFORMING AMENDMENT; TABLE OF CONTENTS.
(a) Conforming Amendment.--Section 1002(d) of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6302(d)) is amended by
inserting ``(other than subpart 4)'' after ``part D,''.
(b) TOC.--The table of contents in section 2 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965 is amended by inserting after the item
relating to section 1432 the following:
``Subpart 4--Demonstration Project for Additional Secondary School
Counselors
``Sec. 1441. Findings.
``Sec. 1442. Demonstration project.

Trust Fund to hold the Medicare surplus, to provide for suspension of

Security and Medicare surpluses.
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 ``Social Security
and Medicare Lock-Box Act''.
(b) Findings Regarding Social Security and Medicare Part A.--The
Congress finds the following:
(1)(A) Long-term projections show serious problems facing
the fiscal health of the trust funds associated with Social
Security and Medicare Hospital Insurance.
(B) According to the 2020 Annual Report of the Board of
Trustees of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and
Federal Disability Insurance Trust Funds, the assets of the
combined Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and
the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund will be exhausted
in 2035, and the Disability Insurance Trust Fund alone will be
depleted in 2065.
(C) According to the 2020 Annual Report of the Board of
Trustees of the Federal Hospital Insurance, the assets of the
Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will be exhausted in
2026.
(2) The Trustees of these trust funds encourage lawmakers
to address the long-term financial challenges of the Social
Security and Medicare programs as soon as possible.
(3) Social Security and Medicare are meant to provide a
secure and stable base so that older Americans can live in
dignity.
(4) Protecting the future surpluses of these trust funds
can only occur when meaningful reform has been enacted by
Congress. Any path to solvency must include the protection of
future surpluses.

Generally, an asylum seeker may avoid expedited removal if an asylum officer finds such a credible fear.

amended by inserting after section 1531 the following:
``Sec. 1532. Dismemberment abortion ban
``(a) Dismemberment Abortion Prohibited.--Any physician who, in or
affecting interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a
dismemberment abortion and thereby kills an unborn child shall be fined
under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both. This
subsection does not apply to a dismemberment abortion that is necessary
to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical
disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-
endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy
itself.
``(b) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be
construed to limit abortions performed for any reason, including when
the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest, if performed by a method
other than dismemberment abortion.
``(c) Civil Remedies.--
``(1) Civil action by a woman on whom an abortion is
performed.--A woman upon whom an abortion has been performed in
violation of any provision of this section may, in a civil
action against any person who committed the violation, obtain
appropriate relief.
``(2) Civil action by a parent of a minor on whom an
abortion is performed.--A parent of a minor upon whom an
abortion has been performed in violation of any provision of
this section may, in a civil action against any person who
committed the violation obtain appropriate relief, unless the
pregnancy resulted from the plaintiff's criminal conduct.
``(3) Appropriate relief.--Appropriate relief in a civil
action under this subsection includes--
``(A) objectively verifiable money damages for all
injuries, psychological and physical, occasioned by the
violation;
``(B) statutory damages equal to three times the
cost of the abortion; and
``(C) punitive damages.
``(4) Attorneys fees for plaintiff.--The court shall award
a reasonable attorney's fee as part of the costs to a
prevailing plaintiff in a civil action under this subsection.
``(5) Attorneys fees for defendant.--If a defendant in a
civil action under this subsection prevails and the court finds
that the plaintiff's suit was frivolous, the court shall award
a reasonable attorney's fee in favor of the defendant against
the plaintiff.
``(6) Awards against woman.--Except under paragraph (5), in
a civil action under this subsection, no damages, attorney's
fee or other monetary relief may be assessed against the woman
upon whom the abortion was performed or attempted.
``(d) Immunity From Prosecution for Woman Upon Whom a Dismemberment
Abortion Is Performed.--A woman upon whom a dismemberment abortion is
performed may not be prosecuted under this section, for a conspiracy to
violate this section, or for an offense under section 2, 3, or 4 of
this title based on a violation of this section.
``(e) Definitions.--In this section--
``(1) Abortion.--The term `abortion' means the use or
prescription of any instrument, medicine, drug, or any other
substance or device--
``(A) to intentionally kill the unborn child of a
woman known to be pregnant; or
``(B) to intentionally terminate the pregnancy of a
woman known to be pregnant, with an intention other
than--
``(i) after viability to produce a live
birth and preserve the life and health of the
child born alive; or
``(ii) to remove a dead unborn child.
``(2) Dismemberment abortion.--The term `dismemberment
abortion'--
``(A) means, with the purpose of causing the death
of an unborn child, knowingly dismembering a living
unborn child and extracting such unborn child one piece
at a time or intact but crushed from the uterus through
the use of clamps, grasping forceps, tongs, scissors or
similar instruments that, through the convergence of
two rigid levers, slice, crush or grasp a portion of
the unborn child's body in order to cut or rip it off
or crush it; but
``(B) does not include an abortion which uses
suction to dismember the body of the unborn child by
sucking fetal parts into a collection container unless
the actions described in subparagraph (A) are used to
cause the death of an unborn child but suction is
subsequently used to extract fetal parts after the
death of the unborn child.
``(3) Minor.--The term `minor' means an individual who has
not attained the age of 18 years.
``(4) Physician.--The term `physician' means a doctor of
medicine or osteopathy legally authorized to practice medicine
and surgery by the State in which the doctor performs such
activity, or any other individual legally authorized by the
State to perform abortions: Provided, however, That any
individual who is not a physician or not otherwise legally
authorized by the State to perform abortions, but who
nevertheless directly performs an abortion prohibited in this
section shall be subject to the provisions of this section.
``(5) Unborn child.--The term `unborn child' means an
individual organism of the species homo sapiens, beginning at
fertilization, until the point of being born alive as defined
in section 8(b) of title 1.''.
(b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections at the beginning of

H. R. 865
To posthumously award a Congressional Gold Medal, collectively, to the
African Americans who served with Union forces during the Civil War, in
recognition of their bravery and outstanding service.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 7, 2023
Ms. Norton 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 posthumously award a Congressional Gold Medal, collectively, to the
African Americans who served with Union forces during the Civil War, in
recognition of their bravery and outstanding service.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``United States Colored Troops
Congressional Gold Medal Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Since the colonial era, African Americans have served
the United States in times of war.
(2) During the Civil War, approximately 200,000 African-
American men served in the Union Army and 19,000 African-
American men served in the Union Navy.
(3) During the Civil War, African-American women were not
allowed to formally enlist as soldiers or sailors, though they
served as nurses, cooks, spies, and scouts for the Union Army
and the Union Navy.
(4) While African-American men served in the Navy since its
establishment, there was resistance to enlisting them to take
up arms for the Union Army at the start of the Civil War.
(5) As the Civil War dragged on, President Lincoln broke
from the previous policy of his administration and determined
that liberating enslaved persons ``was a military necessity
absolutely essential for the salvation of the Union''.
(6) The Act entitled ``An Act to suppress insurrection, to
punish treason and rebellion, to seize and confiscate the
property of rebels, and for other purposes'', approved July 17,
1862 (commonly known as the ``Second Confiscation Act'') (12
Stat. 589; chapter 195), and the Act of July 17, 1862 (commonly
known as the ``Military Act of 1862'') (12 Stat. 597; chapter
201), were the first official authorizations to employ African
Americans in the Union Army.
(7) It was not until January 1, 1863, the effective date of
the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln, that
the Union Army was ordered to receive African-American men.
(8) On May 22, 1863, the United States War Department
issued General Order Number 143, which established the Bureau
of Colored Troops for the recruitment and organization of
regiments of the Union Army composed of African-American men,
called the United States Colored Troops (referred to in this
section as ``USCT'').
(9) Leaders such as Frederick Douglass encouraged African
Americans to enlist to advance the cause of citizenship. ``Once
let the black man get upon his person the brass letters,
`U.S.', let him get an eagle on his button, and a musket on his
shoulder and bullets in his pocket, there is no power on
[E]arth that can deny that he has earned the right to
citizenship.'', wrote Douglass.
(10) African-American sailors constituted a significant
segment of the Union Navy, making up 20 percent of the total
enlisted force of the Navy.
(11) Although there were rank restrictions on African
Americans in the Navy before the Civil War, this policy changed
after the establishment of the USCT, when the Union Navy
started to compete with the Union Army for enlistment of
African Americans.
(12) Yet, in practice, most African Americans could not
advance beyond lowest ranks of ``boy'' and ``landsman.''
(13) African-American soldiers and sailors served with
distinction, honor, and bravery amid racial discrimination and
adverse circumstances, including the risk of enslavement and
torture if captured.
(14) Eighteen members of the USCT and 8 African-American
sailors were awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest honor in
the United States for bravery in combat.
(15) For generations after the Civil War, the contributions
of African Americans in the Civil War were excluded from
historical memory.
(16) Public Law No. 102-412 (106 Stat. 2104) authorized the
establishment of a memorial on Federal land in the District of
Columbia to honor African Americans who served with Union
forces during the Civil War.
(17) This memorial, featuring a bronze statue of USCT
soldiers, an African-American sailor and family, is surrounded
by the Wall of Honor, which lists the names of the members of
the USCT.
(18) The African American Civil War Museum is located in
the District of Columbia.
(19) Patriots and heroes who rose in service to a Nation
that would not fully recognize them, the African Americans who
served the Union during the Civil War deserve our recognition
for their contributions to the grant of emancipation and
citizenship for nearly 4,000,000 enslaved people and the
preservation of the Union.
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 posthumous presentation, on behalf of
Congress, of a gold medal of appropriate design to the African
Americans who served with Union forces during the Civil War,
collectively, in recognition of their bravery and outstanding service
during the Civil War.
(b) Design and Striking.--For the purposes of the award referred to
in subsection (a), the Secretary of the Treasury (hereafter 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) Smithsonian Institution.--
(1) In general.--Following the award of the gold medal
under subsection (a), the gold medal shall be given to the
Smithsonian Institution, where the medal shall be available for
display as appropriate and available for research.
(2) Sense of the congress.--It is the sense of Congress
that the Smithsonian Institution should make the gold medal
received under paragraph (1) available for display elsewhere,
particularly at appropriate locations associated with the
United States Colored Troops.
SEC. 4. DUPLICATE MEDALS.
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 thereof, including labor, materials, dies, use of machinery, and
overhead expenses.
SEC. 5. STATUS OF MEDALS.
(a) National Medals.--The medals struck pursuant to this Act are
national medals for purposes of chapter 51 of title 31, United States
Code.
(b) Numismatic Items.--For purposes of section 5134 of title 31,
United States Code, all medals struck under this Act shall be
considered to be numismatic items.
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 cost of the medals struck
under this Act.
(b) Proceeds of Sale.--Amounts received from the sale of duplicate
bronze medals under section 4 shall be deposited in the United States
Mint Public Enterprise Fund.

Commerce, and Science, Space, and Technology, for a period to be
subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration
of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee
concerned
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To authorize the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency
to award grants and contracts for projects that use emerging
technologies to address threats to water quality, 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 ``Water Quality and Environmental
Innovation Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Science, technology, and innovation are major
cornerstones of the economy of the United States.
(2) Throughout the United States, there is a growing
momentum to address traditional and emerging threats to the
Nation's water resources through innovative technological
approaches.

avoiding water quality degradation will ultimately result in
positive changes pertaining to water quality and environmental
well-being;
(4) utilizing emerging technologies will spur market-based
innovation and will further amplify the ongoing efforts to
resolve water quality degradation; and
(5) the Environmental Protection Agency and State
environmental agencies should prioritize the use of emerging
technologies, including artificial intelligence, quantum
information science, distributed ledger technology, mechanical
harvesting, aquatic muck dredging, living shorelines, living
seawalls, robotics, nanotechnology, environmental DNA (eDNA),
and cultivation of aquatic species, such as seaweed, seagrass,
kelp, clams, oysters, and mussels, when creating programs and
solutions to address water quality.

follows, and inserting ``claim, as determined pursuant to section
208(b)(1)(B)(iii), and such other facts as are known to the officer,
that the alien could establish eligibility for asylum under section
208, and it is more probable than not that the statements made by, and
on behalf of, the alien in support of the alien's claim are true.''.

subject to expedited removal. The recording shall be included
in the record of proceeding and shall be considered as evidence

(5) No private right of action.--Nothing in this subsection
shall be construed to create any right, benefit, trust, or
responsibility, whether substantive or procedural, enforceable
in law or equity by a party against the United States, its
departments, agencies, instrumentalities, entities, officers,
employees, or agents, or any person, nor does this subsection
create any right of review in any administrative, judicial, or

determination of such an application.
``(B) An application is frivolous if the Secretary

asylum pursuant to regulations issued pursuant
to paragraph (2), or to seek issuance of a
Notice to Appear in order to pursue
Cancellation of Removal under section 240A(b);
or
``(ii) any of the material elements are
knowingly fabricated.
``(C) In determining that an application is
frivolous, the Secretary or the Attorney General must
be satisfied that the applicant, during the course of
the proceedings, has had sufficient opportunity to
clarify any discrepancies or implausible aspects of the
claim.

an alien filed a frivolous asylum application shall not
preclude the alien from seeking withholding of removal

Security's efforts to establish the alien's identity
and carry out the removal order, including making
timely application in good faith for travel or other
documents necessary to the alien's departure, and who
has not conspired or acted to prevent removal, the
Secretary shall establish an administrative review
process to determine whether the alien should be
detained or released on conditions. The Secretary shall
make a determination whether to release an alien after
the removal period in accordance with subparagraph (B).
The determination shall include consideration of any
evidence submitted by the alien, and may include
consideration of any other evidence, including any
information or assistance provided by the Secretary of
State or other Federal official and any other
information available to the Secretary of Homeland
Security pertaining to the ability to remove the alien.

sole discretion, determines that there
is a significant likelihood that the
alien--
``(aa) will be removed in
the reasonably foreseeable
future; or
``(bb) would be removed in
the reasonably foreseeable
future, or would have been
removed, but for the alien's
failure or refusal to make all
reasonable efforts to comply
with the removal order, or to

establish the alien's identity
and carry out the removal
order, including making timely
application in good faith for

the Secretary of Health and
Human Services, that the alien
has a highly contagious disease
that poses a threat to public
safety;
``(bb) after receipt of a
written recommendation from the
Secretary of State, that
release of the alien is likely
to have serious adverse foreign
policy consequences for the
United States;
``(cc) based on information
available to the Secretary of
Homeland Security (including
classified, sensitive, or
national security information,
and without regard to the
grounds upon which the alien
was ordered removed), that
there is reason to believe that
the release of the alien would
threaten the national security
of the United States; or
``(dd) that the release of
the alien will threaten the
safety of the community or any
person, conditions of release
cannot reasonably be expected
to ensure the safety of the
community or any person, and
either (AA) the alien has been
convicted of one or more
aggravated felonies (as defined
in section 101(a)(43)(A)) or of
one or more crimes identified
by the Secretary of Homeland

conspiracies to commit any such
aggravated felonies or such
identified crimes, if the

for such attempts or
conspiracies is at least 5
years; or (BB) the alien has
committed one or more crimes of
violence (as defined in section
16 of title 18, United States
Code, but not including a
purely political offense) and,
because of a mental condition
or personality disorder and
behavior associated with that
condition or disorder, the
alien is likely to engage in
acts of violence in the future;
or
``(III) pending a certification
under subclause (II), so long as the
Secretary of Homeland Security has
initiated the administrative review
process not later than 30 days after
the expiration of the removal period
(including any extension of the removal
period, as provided in paragraph
(1)(C)).
``(iii) No right to bond hearing.--An alien
whose detention is extended under this
subparagraph shall have no right to seek
release on bond, including by reason of a
certification under clause (ii)(II).
``(C) Renewal and delegation of certification.--
``(i) Renewal.--The Secretary of Homeland
Security may renew a certification under
subparagraph (B)(ii)(II) every 6 months, after
providing an opportunity for the alien to
request reconsideration of the certification
and to submit documents or other evidence in
support of that request. If the Secretary does
not renew a certification, the Secretary may
not continue to detain the alien under
subparagraph (B)(ii)(II).
``(ii) Delegation.--Notwithstanding section
103, the Secretary of Homeland Security may not
delegate the authority to make or renew a
certification described in item (bb), (cc), or
(dd) of subparagraph (B)(ii)(II) below the
level of the Director of Immigration and
Customs Enforcement.
``(iii) Hearing.--The Secretary of Homeland
Security may request that the Attorney General
or the Attorney General's designee provide for
a hearing to make the determination described
in item (dd)(BB) of subparagraph (B)(ii)(II).
``(D) Release on conditions.--If it is determined
that an alien should be released from detention by a
Federal court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, or if
an immigration judge orders a stay of removal, the
Secretary of Homeland Security, in the exercise of the
Secretary's discretion, may impose conditions on
release as provided in paragraph (3).
``(E) Redetention.--The Secretary of Homeland
Security, in the exercise of the Secretary's
discretion, without any limitations other than those
specified in this section, may again detain any alien
subject to a final removal order who is released from
custody, if removal becomes likely in the reasonably
foreseeable future, the alien fails to comply with the
conditions of release, or to continue to satisfy the
conditions described in subparagraph (A), or if, upon
reconsideration, the Secretary, in the Secretary's sole
discretion, determines that the alien can be detained
under subparagraph (B). This section shall apply to any
alien returned to custody pursuant to this
subparagraph, as if the removal period terminated on
the day of the redetention.
``(F) Review of determinations by secretary.--A
determination by the Secretary under this paragraph
shall not be subject to review by any other agency.''.

referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To provide grants to State educational agencies to support State
efforts to increase teacher salaries, 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 ``American Teacher Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Teachers are the backbone of our nation, from the first
bell to the last bell, they act as caregivers, counselors, role
models, advocates, and cheerleaders, helping children achieve
their greatest potential.
(2) What is more, teacher shortages are among the most
pressing threats to education access today, with districts
across the country forced to radically adjust school offerings
to respond to turnover and prolonged vacancies. Every day,
stories surface of schools shortening their weeks, canceling
courses, increasing student-teacher ratios, and placing
underprepared or temporary substitute staff in core
instructional roles. Such adjustments disrupt learning, take a
sustained toll on teacher morale, and harm student achievement.
(3) The teacher wage penalty, characterizing lower weekly
wages and overall compensation for teachers compared to
college-educated peers in other professions, hit an all-time
high of 23.5 percent in 2021 and continues to demonstrate
significant, adverse impacts on teacher recruitment and
retention. According to a recent report by the Teacher Salary
Project, over 90 percent of teachers believe low salary
contributes to shortages in their communities and over 45
percent believe their salary is insufficient for medium and
long-term career sustainability.
(4) Significant numbers of teachers report maintaining
multiple jobs to make ends meet or being able to work in their
profession only through the support of a partner's higher-
paying job. This instability is worse for teachers of color who
are more likely to work in under-resourced schools. As a
result, high-poverty communities face a compounded burden.
(5) In August of 2022, the White House issued a fact sheet
renewing attention to the weak teacher pipeline and calling
upon legislators to use federal, state, and local resources to
strengthen teaching career pathways and ensure competitive,
livable wages. This statement accompanies efforts by twenty-
five states to propose and enact legislation addressing teacher
compensation since January 2021.
(6) To restore stability in our schools and secure
equitable access to high-quality education, we must raise
awareness surrounding the value of teaching as a profession and
provide compensation that reflects this value.
SEC. 3. GRANTS TO SUPPORT STATE EFFORTS TO INCREASE TEACHER SALARIES.
(a) Teacher Salary Incentive Grants.--
(1) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to ensure that
each teacher who is employed full-time at a qualifying school
in a State earns an annual salary for any year of employment of
not less than $60,000 (adjusted for inflation).
(2) Grants for minimum salary threshold.--
(A) In general.--From amounts made available to
carry out this section, the Secretary of Education
shall award 4-year grants to State educational
agencies.
(B) Application.--To be eligible to receive such a
grant, the State educational agency shall submit an
application to the Secretary at such time, in such
manner, and containing such information as the
Secretary may require, including--
(i) the plan required under subparagraph
(C); and
(ii) the assurances required under
subparagraph (D).
(C) Sustainability plan.--The Secretary shall
require a State educational agency submitting an
application under subparagraph (B) to provide a plan
that demonstrates how, following the conclusion of the
4-year grant period, such agency will continue to
maintain and adjust the annual base minimum salary in
accordance with subsection (b).
(D) Required assurances.--The Secretary shall
require a State educational agency submitting an
application under subparagraph (B) to provide an
assurance in such application that--
(i) if necessary to achieve the purpose of
this section, the State will enact and enforce
legislation to establish a statewide teacher
salary schedule or otherwise to establish
minimum teacher salary requirements;
(ii) each teacher described in paragraph
(1) will be compensated on a salary basis at an
annual rate per school year that is not less
than the salary threshold described in
subsection (b);
(iii) each teacher who is employed part-
time at a qualifying school in a State will be
compensated on a salary basis at an annual rate
per school year that is not less than the
salary threshold described in subsection (b),
proportionately reduced in accordance with the
number of hours worked by such teacher;
(iv) priority will be given to local
educational agencies in accordance with
subparagraph (E)(ii); and
(v) the State educational agency will, upon
request by the Secretary, carry out the
compliance demonstration in accordance with
subsection (c)(3).
(E) Subgrants.--
(i) In general.--A State educational agency
awarded a grant under this section shall use
not less than 85 percent of the grant funds to
award subgrants to local educational agencies
to carry out the purpose of this section.
(ii) Priority.--The State educational
agency, in allocating funds to local
educational agencies under this section, shall
give priority to local educational agencies--
(I) serving greater numbers or
percentages of elementary or secondary
schools receiving funds under title I
of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6301
et seq.); or
(II) with respect to which all of
the schools served by the local
educational agency are designated with
a locale code of 41, 42, or 43, as
determined by the Secretary.
(b) Salary Threshold.--

minimum salary dollar amount shall be $60,000.
(2) Inflation adjustment.--For school year 2025-2026 and
each succeeding school year, the dollar amount referred to in
paragraph (1) shall be deemed to refer to the dollar amount
calculated under this subsection for the preceding school year,
increased by a percentage equal to the annual percentage
increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
published by the Department of Labor for the most recent
calendar year.
(3) No salary limit.--The base minimum salary dollar amount

(c) Supplement, Not Supplant.--
(1) In general.--Grant funds received under this section
shall be used to supplement and not supplant other Federal,

such Federal funds, be made available for teacher base
salaries.
(2) Maintenance of effort.--A State educational agency or
local educational agency shall not reduce or adjust any teacher
pay or State teacher loan forgiveness program due to the
eligibility of teachers within the jurisdiction of such agency
for pay supplementation under this section.
(3) Compliance demonstration to secretary.--Each State
educational agency and local educational agency, upon request
by the Secretary, shall demonstrate that the methodology used
to allocate teacher pay and State teacher loan forgiveness (if
applicable) to teachers and qualifying schools ensures that
each such teacher and school receives the same State and local
funds for teacher compensation it would receive if this Act had
not been enacted.
SEC. 4. GRANTS FOR ADJUSTMENT OF TEACHER SALARIES.
(a) In General.--From amounts made available to carry out this
section, the Secretary of Education shall award grants to eligible
State educational agencies to provide, in accordance with subsection

and the annual salary of each teacher who is employed full-time at a
qualifying school in such State.
(b) Application.--To be eligible to receive such a grant, the State
educational agency shall submit an application to the Secretary at such
time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Secretary
may require, including the demonstration required under subsection
(d)(2).
(c) Adjustment.--The annual base salary of the State and the annual
salary of each teacher described in subsection (a) shall be increased
by a percentage equal to the annual percentage increase in the Consumer
Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Department of
Labor for the most recent calendar year.
(d) Eligible State Defined.--In this section, the term ``eligible
State'' means a State--
(1) with an annual base salary of not less than $60,000 for
teachers who are employed full-time at a qualifying school; and
(2) that demonstrates in the application submitted under
subsection (b) that, due to inflation, such State is unable to
adjust such base salary or the annual salaries of such teachers
for cost-of-living.
SEC. 5. ENHANCED AWARENESS OF THE VALUE OF TEACHING PROFESSION.
The Secretary may reserve not more than 4 percent of the funds
appropriated under section 8 to carry out a national campaign--
(1) to increase awareness about the importance of teachers
and the value of the teaching profession;
(2) to encourage secondary school and college students to
consider teaching as a professional career; and
(3) to diversify the pool of individuals who enter the
teaching profession.
SEC. 6. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to alter or otherwise affect
the rights, remedies, and procedures afforded to school or local
educational agency employees under Federal, State, or local laws

local educational agencies negotiate or meet and confer in good faith)
or under the terms of collective bargaining agreements, memoranda of
understanding, or other agreements between such employers and their
employees.

acquisition with respect to a domestic
partnership, by former partners of the
domestic partnership by reason of
holding a capital or profits interest
in the domestic partnership, or
``(ii) the management and control of the
expanded affiliated group which includes the
entity occurs, directly or indirectly,
primarily within the United States, and such
expanded affiliated group has significant
domestic business activities.
``(3) Exception for corporations with substantial business
activities in foreign country of organization.--A foreign
corporation described in paragraph (2) shall not be treated as
an inverted domestic corporation if after the acquisition the
expanded affiliated group which includes the entity has
substantial business activities in the foreign country in which
or under the law of which the entity is created or organized
when compared to the total business activities of such expanded
affiliated group. For purposes of subsection (a)(2)(B)(iii) and
the preceding sentence, the term `substantial business
activities' shall have the meaning given such term under
regulations in effect on December 22, 2017, except that the
Secretary may issue regulations increasing the threshold
percent in any of the tests under such regulations for
determining if business activities constitute substantial
business activities for purposes of this paragraph.
``(4) Management and control.--For purposes of paragraph
(2)(B)(ii)--
``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall prescribe
regulations for purposes of determining cases in which
the management and control of an expanded affiliated
group is to be treated as occurring, directly or
indirectly, primarily within the United States. The
regulations prescribed under the preceding sentence
shall apply to periods after December 22, 2017.
``(B) Executive officers and senior management.--
Such regulations shall provide that the management and
control of an expanded affiliated group shall be
treated as occurring, directly or indirectly, primarily
within the United States if substantially all of the
executive officers and senior management of the
expanded affiliated group who exercise day-to-day
responsibility for making decisions involving
strategic, financial, and operational policies of the
expanded affiliated group are based or primarily
located within the United States. Individuals who in
fact exercise such day-to-day responsibilities shall be
treated as executive officers and senior management
regardless of their title.
``(5) Significant domestic business activities.--For
purposes of paragraph (2)(B)(ii), an expanded affiliated group
has significant domestic business activities if at least 25
percent of--
``(A) the employees of the group are based in the
United States,
``(B) the employee compensation incurred by the
group is incurred with respect to employees based in
the United States,
``(C) the assets of the group are located in the
United States, or
``(D) the income of the group is derived in the
United States,
determined in the same manner as such determinations are made
for purposes of determining substantial business activities
under regulations referred to in paragraph (3) as in effect on
December 22, 2017, but applied by treating all references in
such regulations to `foreign country' and `relevant foreign
country' as references to `the United States'. The Secretary
may issue regulations decreasing the threshold percent in any
of the tests under such regulations for determining if business
activities constitute significant domestic business activities
for purposes of this paragraph.''.
(b) Conforming Amendments.--
(1) Clause (i) of section 7874(a)(2)(B) is amended by
striking ``after March 4, 2003,'' and inserting ``after March
4, 2003, and before December 23, 2017,''.
(2) Subsection (c) of section 7874 is amended--
(A) in paragraph (2)--
(i) by striking ``subsection

(ii) by inserting ``or (b)(2)(A)'' after
``(a)(2)(B)(i)'' in subparagraph (B);
(B) in paragraph (3), by inserting ``or
(b)(2)(B)(i), as the case may be,'' after
``(a)(2)(B)(ii)'';
(C) in paragraph (5), by striking ``subsection
(a)(2)(B)(ii)'' and inserting ``subsections
(a)(2)(B)(ii) and (b)(2)(B)(i)''; and
(D) in paragraph (6), by inserting ``or inverted
domestic corporation, as the case may be,'' after
``surrogate foreign corporation''.
(c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall
apply to taxable years ending after December 22, 2017.
(d) Extension of Limitation on Assessment.--If the period of
limitation on assessment of tax resulting from the amendments made by
subsection (a) expires before the end of the 3-year period beginning on
the date of the enactment of this Act, such assessment (to the extent
attributable to such amendments) may, nevertheless, be made before the
close of such 3-year period.
SEC. 6. TREATMENT OF FOREIGN CORPORATIONS MANAGED AND CONTROLLED IN THE
UNITED STATES AS DOMESTIC CORPORATIONS.
(a) In General.--Section 7701 is amended by redesignating
subsection (p) as subsection (q) and by inserting after subsection (o)
the following new subsection:
``(p) Certain Corporations Managed and Controlled in the United
States Treated as Domestic for Income Tax.--
``(1) In general.--Notwithstanding subsection (a)(4), in
the case of a corporation described in paragraph (2) if--
``(A) the corporation would not otherwise be
treated as a domestic corporation for purposes of this
title, but
``(B) the management and control of the corporation
occurs, directly or indirectly, primarily within the
United States,
then, solely for purposes of chapter 1 (and any other provision
of this title relating to chapter 1), the corporation shall be
treated as a domestic corporation.
``(2) Corporation described.--
``(A) In general.--A corporation is described in
this paragraph if--
``(i) the stock of such corporation is
regularly traded on an established securities
market, or
``(ii) the aggregate gross assets of such
corporation (or any predecessor thereof),
including assets under management for
investors, whether held directly or indirectly,
at any time during the taxable year or any
preceding taxable year is $50,000,000 or more.
``(B) General exception.--A corporation shall not
be treated as described in this paragraph if--
``(i) such corporation was treated as a
corporation described in this paragraph in a
preceding taxable year,
``(ii) such corporation--
``(I) is not regularly traded on an
established securities market, and
``(II) has, and is reasonably
expected to continue to have, aggregate
gross assets (including assets under
management for investors, whether held
directly or indirectly) of less than
$50,000,000, and
``(iii) the Secretary grants a waiver to
such corporation under this subparagraph.
``(3) Management and control.--
``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall prescribe
regulations for purposes of determining cases in which
the management and control of a corporation is to be
treated as occurring primarily within the United
States.
``(B) Executive officers and senior management.--
Such regulations shall provide that--
``(i) the management and control of a
corporation shall be treated as occurring
primarily within the United States if
substantially all of the executive officers and
senior management of the corporation who
exercise day-to-day responsibility for making
decisions involving strategic, financial, and
operational policies of the corporation are
located primarily within the United States, and
``(ii) individuals who are not executive
officers and senior management of the
corporation (including individuals who are
officers or employees of other corporations in
the same chain of corporations as the
corporation) shall be treated as executive
officers and senior management if such
individuals exercise the day-to-day
responsibilities of the corporation described
in clause (i).
``(C) Corporations primarily holding investment
assets.--Such regulations shall also provide that the
management and control of a corporation shall be
treated as occurring primarily within the United States
if--
``(i) the assets of such corporation
(directly or indirectly) consist primarily of
assets being managed on behalf of investors,
and
``(ii) decisions about how to invest the
assets are made in the United States.''.
(b) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall
apply to taxable years beginning on or after the date which is 2 years
after the date of the enactment of this Act, whether or not regulations
are issued under section 7701(p)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as added by this section.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Act of 1981 to increase
the availability of heating and cooling assistance, 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 ``Heating and Cooling Relief Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that:
(1) Energy remains unaffordable for low-income households.
Nationally, low-income households spend a larger portion of
their income on home energy costs than other households. The
average low-income household's energy burden is 3 times that of
other households. The report for the Household Pulse Survey of
the Bureau of the Census, issued on December 22, 2021, noted
that, for families with incomes of less than $35,000 a year,
about 51 percent said that they reduced or went without basic
household necessities, such as medicine or food, in order to
pay an energy bill, for at least one month in the last year.
(2) The Low-Income Housing Energy Assistance Program was
authorized by Congress to reduce home energy burdens with
heating and cooling assistance. In 2019, only 16 percent of
income-eligible households received a subsidy under the
program.
(3) Climate change is fueling increasingly intense winter
storms and extreme temperatures.
(4) Heat waves are increasingly common as climate change
accelerates, and now occur more often in major cities across
the United States. The average heat wave season across 50
cities is approximately 47 days longer now than it was in the
1960s. As a result, the Federal Government should provide
further cooling assistance for communities in need.
(5) The loss of home energy service due to high energy
burdens is one of the primary reasons for homelessness,
especially for families with children. In some housing
contexts, loss of home energy service is a grounds for
eviction.
(6) The Federal Government should expand and update the
Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, as part of a robust
Federal social safety net, to--
(A) protect families against unaffordable home
energy bills and home energy shutoffs, by providing
sufficient funding and imposing regulations where
necessary;
(B) ensure all low- and moderate-income families
have access to affordable home cooling powered by
renewable energy, which will enable households to adapt
to rising temperatures due to climate change and
promote climate resiliency;
(C) enhance outreach--
(i) by including nontraditional partners,
including home energy suppliers, local
educational agencies, and entities carrying out
other programs for low-income people, to assist
with signups; and
(ii) by adding stronger provisions for
presumed eligibility and waiving documentation
requirements for eligibility; and
(D) further Federal efforts to weatherize housing
for low- and moderate-income households, to help
families struggling to pay their home energy bills and
to meet national clean energy goals.
SEC. 3. FUNDING.
Section 2602 of the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Act of 1981
(42 U.S.C. 8621) is amended--
(1) in subsection (b)--
(A) by striking ``section 2607A)'' and inserting
``section 2604(f), 2607A, 2607B, or 2607C)''; and
(B) by striking ``$2,000,000,000'' and all that
follows and inserting ``$400,000,000,000 for the period

(2) in subsection (e), by inserting ``, or arising, for

period at the end; and
(3) by adding at the end the following:
``(f) There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out section
2604(f), $1,000,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2023 through 2032.
``(g) There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out section
2607C, including making grants under that section, $1,000,000,000 for
each of fiscal years 2023 through 2032.''.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 895
To combat organized crime involving the illegal acquisition of retail
goods for the purpose of selling those illegally obtained goods through
physical and online retail marketplaces.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 9, 2023
Mr. Buck (for himself, Mr. Joyce of Ohio, Mrs. Lee of Nevada, and Ms.
Titus) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To combat organized crime involving the illegal acquisition of retail
goods for the purpose of selling those illegally obtained goods through
physical and online retail marketplaces.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Combating Organized Retail Crime Act
of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) organized retail crime, a crime involving groups of
individuals specifically targeting retail stores, often by
using violence or threats of violence to subdue employees and
shoppers while robbing stores of their most valuable and easily
diverted merchandise, has been a growing concern to retailers,
industry, and law enforcement;
(2) retailers have seen a dramatic increase in occurrences
of organized retail crime, costing retailers approximately
$720,000 per every $1,000,000,000 in sales in 2019,
representing more than a 50-percent increase in such losses
since 2015. Further, according to the National Retail
Federation, the use of violence or aggression is increasing in
the commission of these crimes, with \2/3\ of retailers
reporting an increase of violence during the commission of
retail theft;
(3) organized retail crime--
(A) threatens the safety and liberty of individuals
in the United States when those individuals engage in
commerce;
(B) erodes the retail economy for customers and
businesses alike; and
(C) finances transnational criminal organizations
that use the proceeds of those thefts to support the
criminal goals of the criminal organizations; and
(4) it has become necessary for Congress--
(A) to amend title 18, United States Code, to
ensure that law enforcement has the legal tools
necessary to combat organized retail crime in the same
capacity as law enforcement is able to combat theft and
diversion from other portions of the supply chain; and
(B) to direct the executive branch to create a
central coordination center to align Federal, State,
local, territorial, and Tribal efforts to combat
organized retail crime.
SEC. 3. AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 18, UNITED STATES CODE.
Part I of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in section 982(a)(5)--
(A) by redesignating subparagraphs (C), (D), and
(E) as subparagraphs (D), (E), and (F), respectively;
(B) by inserting after subparagraph (B) the
following:
``(C) section 659 (interstate or foreign shipments by
carrier; State prosecutions);'';
(C) in subparagraph (E), as so redesignated, by
striking ``; or'' and inserting a semicolon;
(D) in subparagraph (F), as so redesignated, by
striking the period at the end and inserting a
semicolon; and
(E) by inserting after subparagraph (F), as so
redesignated, the following:
``(G) section 2314 (transportation of stolen goods,
securities, moneys, fraudulent State tax stamps, or articles
used in counterfeiting); or
``(H) section 2315 (sale or receipt of stolen goods,
securities, moneys, or fraudulent State tax stamps).'';
(2) in section 1956(c)(7)(D)--
(A) by inserting ``section 659 (interstate or
foreign shipments by carrier; State prosecutions),''
after ``section 658 (relating to property mortgaged or
pledged to farm credit agencies),''; and
(B) by inserting ``section 2314 (transportation of
stolen goods, securities, moneys, fraudulent State tax
stamps, or articles used in counterfeiting), section
2315 (sale or receipt of stolen goods, securities,
moneys, or fraudulent State tax stamps),'' after
``section 2281 (relating to violence against maritime
fixed platforms),'';
(3) in section 2314, in the first paragraph--
(A) by inserting ``or by using any facility of
interstate or foreign commerce,'' after ``commerce'';
(B) by inserting ``or of an aggregate value of
$5,000 or more during any 12-month period,'' after
``more,'';
(C) by inserting ``, embezzled,'' after ``stolen'';
and
(D) by inserting ``, false pretense, or other
illegal means'' after ``fraud''; and
(4) in section 2315, in the first paragraph--
(A) by inserting ``or of an aggregate value of
$5,000 or more during any 12-month period,'' after
``$5,000 or more,''; and
(B) by striking ``; or'' and inserting ``, or have
been stolen, unlawfully converted, or taken by the use
of any facility of interstate or foreign commerce in
the commission of said act; or''.

To ensure that patients receive accurate health care information by
prohibiting misleading and deceptive advertising or representation in
the provision of health care services, to require the identification of
the license of health care professionals, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 9, 2023
Mr. Bucshon (for himself and Mr. David Scott of Georgia) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and
Commerce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To ensure that patients receive accurate health care information by
prohibiting misleading and deceptive advertising or representation in
the provision of health care services, to require the identification of
the license of health care professionals, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Truth in Healthcare Marketing Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) many types of health care professionals including
physicians, technicians, nurses, physician assistants, and
other allied practitioners are engaged in providing services in
health care settings, and all of these individuals play an
important and distinct role in the health care delivery system;
(2) the exchange of information between patients and their
health care professionals is critical to helping patients
understand their health care choices;
(3) consumers are often unaware of the differences in, and
seek more information about, the qualifications, training, and
education of their health care professionals;
(4) evidence exists of patient confusion resulting from
ambiguous health care nomenclature and related advertisements
and marketing products; and
(5) nationwide surveys conducted in 2008 and 2010 revealed
the depth of confusion regarding the education, skills, and
training of health care professionals and indicated strong
support for increasing clarity in the advertising and marketing
claims of health care professionals.
SEC. 3. HEALTH CARE SERVICE PROFESSIONAL UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE ACTS AND
PRACTICES.
(a) Conduct Prohibited.--It shall be unlawful for any person to
make any deceptive or misleading statement, or engage in any deceptive
or misleading act, that--
(1) misrepresents whether such person holds a State health
care license; or
(2) misrepresents such person's education, training,
degree, license, or clinical expertise.
(b) Requirement To Identify License in Advertising.--Any person who
is advertising health care services provided by such person, shall
disclose in such advertisement the applicable license under which such
person is authorized to provide such services.
(c) Enforcement.--A violation of subsection (a) or (b) shall be
treated as an unfair or deceptive act or practice prescribed under
section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 45). The
Federal Trade Commission shall enforce this Act in the same manner, by
the same means, and with the same jurisdiction as though all applicable
terms and provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act were
incorporated into and made a part of this Act.
(d) Nonpreemption.--This section does not preempt any State or
local law relating to the subject matter of this section so long as
such law does not prevent the implementation of this section.
SEC. 4. TRUTH IN ADVERTISING STUDY.
(a) Study.--As soon as practicable after the date of enactment of
this Act, the Federal Trade Commission shall conduct a study of health
care professionals subject to the requirement of section 3(a) to--
(1) identify specific acts and practices constituting a
violation of such section;
(2) determine the frequency of such acts and practices;
(3) identify instances of harm or injury resulting from
such acts and practices;
(4) determine the extent to which such persons comply with
State laws or regulations that--
(A) require oral or written disclosure, to the
patient or in an advertisement, of the type of license
such person holds; and
(B) set forth requirements for advertisements for
health care services with regard to disclosure of the
type of license under which such person is authorized
to provide such services; and
(5) identify instances where any State public policy has
permitted acts and practices which violate section 3(a).
(b) Report.--The Federal Trade Commission shall report its findings
to Congress not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of
this Act.
SEC. 5. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed or have the effect of
changing State scope of practice for any health care professional.

H. R. 901
To require the Food and Drug Administration to prioritize enforcement
of disposable electronic nicotine delivery system products.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 9, 2023
Mrs. Cherfilus-McCormick introduced the following bill; which was
referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require the Food and Drug Administration to prioritize enforcement
of disposable electronic nicotine delivery system products.
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 ``Disposable ENDS Product Enforcement
Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) In April 2020, the Food and Drug Administration issued
guidance entitled ``Enforcement Priorities for Electronic
Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) and Other Deemed Products on
the Market Without Premarket Authorization''.
(2) In such guidance, Food and Drug Administration
describes how the agency intends to prioritize enforcement
against any flavored, cartridge-based electronic nicotine
delivery system product (other than a tobacco- or menthol-
flavored electronic nicotine delivery system product) marketed
without authorization from the Food and Drug Administration.
(3) In defining the term ``cartridge-based ENDS product,''
the guidance cites ``self-contained, disposable products'' as
not being with the scope of this prioritized category.
(4) The guidance explains: ``FDA is continuously evaluating
new information and adjusting its enforcement priorities in
light of the best available data, and it will continue to do so
with respect to these products. FDA will take appropriate
action regarding tobacco products that are marketed without
premarket authorization, including as warranted based on
changed circumstances, new information, or to better address
minors' use of those products''.
(5) In November 2022, the Food and Drug Administration and
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the
findings from the 2022 National Youth Tobacco Survey. The data
shows that self-contained disposable electronic nicotine
delivery system products were the most common device type used
by minors.
SEC. 3. UPDATED ENFORCEMENT PRIORITIZATION.
(a) Guidance.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting
through the Commissioner of Food and Drugs (referred to in this Act as
the ``Secretary''), shall not later than 90 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, update the final guidance entitled ``Enforcement
Priorities for Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) and Other
Deemed Products on the Market Without Premarket Authorization'' issued
in April 2020, to include a description of how the Secretary will also
prioritize enforcement against disposable ENDS products, including such
nicotine products not derived from tobacco.
(b) Enforcement.--Nothing in this section shall be construed as
preventing the Secretary from prioritizing enforcement against
disposable ENDS products, including nicotine products not derived from
tobacco, in advance of updating the guidance referred to in paragraph
(1), particularly with respect to such products that are targeted to

or 1 in 50 people, have an unruptured brain aneurysm.
(2) Each year, an estimated 30,000 people in the United
States suffer a brain aneurysm rupture. Ruptured brain
aneurysms are fatal in about 50 percent of cases. Of those who
survive, about 66 percent suffer some permanent neurological
deficit.
(3) Brain aneurysms are more likely to occur in women than
in men by a 3 to 2 ratio. This Act represents all those who
have been affected and died due to a ruptured brain aneurysm,
and their loved ones. People who experienced a brain aneurysm
rupture include the following:
(A) Ellie Helton. On July 16, 2014, Ellie Helton, a
vibrant, loving 14-year-old from Apex, North Carolina,
passed away as a result of a ruptured aneurysm,
stunning her parents, two sisters, and many, many loved
ones. A day earlier, on her second day of high school,
she woke up with a terrible headache after a plum-sized
aneurysm on her brain stem ruptured. While she suffered
headaches throughout her life, she was never diagnosed.
Ellie was an avid reader and excellent student, loved
the arts, and was incredibly creative. She had an
unwavering, constant love for the family and friends in
her life.
(B) Lisa Colagrossi. On March 20, 2015, Lisa
Colagrossi--WABC Eyewitness News reporter, wife of 17
years, and mother of two sons--unexpectedly passed away
at the age of 49 years after suffering a massive
ruptured brain aneurysm. Despite experiencing one of
the classic warning signs of a brain aneurysm (the
``worst headache of my life''), Lisa's passing came as
a tremendous shock to her family and friends, who did
not know what a brain aneurysm was, let alone its signs
and symptoms. She is remembered for being a loving
wife, a mother, and a successful reporter, and for her
love of the New York Rangers.
(C) Kristen Shafer Englert. On November 24, 2013,
Kristen Shafer Englert, a devoted wife, mother,
daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away from a
ruptured brain aneurysm at the age of 25, just weeks
after giving birth to her son. Prior to her passing,
she went to the emergency room with symptoms of a brain
aneurysm and was sent home without a scan. Kristen was
a dedicated teacher who loved children. She was
thrilled to become a mother. Sadly, she only
experienced motherhood for a few short days. Kristen's
family members have been dedicated advocates since her
passing.
(D) Teresa Anne Lawrence. On December 8, 1983,
Teresa Anne Lawrence, a devoted mother of three,
beloved wife, and staple of her community, collapsed
while visiting her son's school. She had been
struggling with and taking medication for hypertension
for several years. At age 34, after being unconscious
for four days, she passed away as a result of a brain
aneurysm. Her loving husband and extended family were
left to raise their children, whom Teresa cherished so
much.
(E) Jennifer Sedney. On December 25, 2013, Jennifer
Sedney, a beautiful, accomplished young woman, passed
away suddenly at the age of 27 from a ruptured brain
aneurysm. Her only symptom was the ``worst headache of
her life'', which none of her friends or family
realized was a symptom of a potentially fatal
condition. Jenny was a jogger, a disciplined exerciser,
and a successful health care consultant and had
recently launched a health blog founded on three
principles--``bee curious, bee radiant, bee well''. Her
brother, mother, and father, and a large devoted
network of friends and relatives, remember her every
day.
(4) Brain aneurysm ruptures have a significant fiscal
impact on survivors, caretakers, and the health care community.
The annual estimated pre-insurance direct cost of brain
aneurysm ruptures to American patients is approximately
$1,400,000,000, and the estimated direct cost to hospitals each
year is approximately $2,700,000,000. The length of stay in the
intensive care unit is the largest driver of cost for brain
aneurysm ruptures, and estimates do not reflect indirect costs
including travel, food, childcare, and wage losses for patients
and caretakers.
(5) Despite the widespread prevalence of this condition and
the high societal cost it imposes on the Nation, the Federal
Government only spends approximately $2.08 per year on brain
aneurysm research for each person afflicted with a brain
aneurysm.
(6) The first three iterations of the International Study
on Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms (ISUIA) have advanced
researchers' and clinicians' understanding of how to most
effectively manage and treat unruptured intracranial aneurysms.
SEC. 3. FUNDING.
(a) Authorization of Appropriations.--To conduct or support further
comprehensive research on unruptured intracranial aneurysms, studying a
broader patient population diversified by age, sex, and race, there is
authorized to be appropriated to the National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke $10,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2024 through
2028, to remain available through September 30, 2031.
(b) Supplement, Not Supplant.--Any funds made available pursuant to
this section shall supplement, not supplant, other funding made
available for research on brain aneurysms.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 18, United States Code, to define intimate partner to

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

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Strengthening Protections for

of ``Intimate Partner''.--Section 921(a) of title 18, United States
Code, is amended--
(1) in paragraph (32)--
(A) by striking ``and an individual'' and inserting
``an individual''; and

is protected by the domestic or family violence laws of
the State or Tribal jurisdiction in which the abuse
occurred or the victim resides'';
(2) by striking paragraph (37)(A) and inserting the
following:
``(37)(A) The term `dating relationship' means a
relationship between individuals who have or have had, or in
the case of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence have or
have recently had, a continuing serious relationship of a
romantic or intimate nature.''; and
(3) in paragraph (37)(C), by striking ``dating'' and
inserting ``continuing serious''.
(b) New Prohibitor for Misdemeanor Crimes of Stalking.--Chapter 44
of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in section 921(a), by adding at the end the following:
``(38)(A) Except as provided in subparagraphs (B) and (C), the term
`misdemeanor crime of stalking' means an offense that--
``(i) is a misdemeanor under Federal, State, Tribal, or
local law; and
``(ii) has as an element a course of harassment,
intimidation, or surveillance that--
``(I) places a person in reasonable fear of actual
harm to the health or safety of--
``(aa) that person;
``(bb) an immediate family member (as
defined in section 115) of that person;
``(cc) an individual who shares or has

regard to whether the individual is related to

``(dd) an intimate partner of that person;
or
``(ee) the pet, service animal, or
emotional support animal (as those terms are
defined in section 2266) of that person; or
``(II) causes, attempts to cause, or would
reasonably be expected to cause emotional distress to a
person described in item (aa), (bb), (cc), or (dd) of
subclause (I).
``(B) A person shall not be considered to have been convicted of
such an offense for purposes of this chapter, unless--
``(i) the person was represented by counsel in the case, or
knowingly and intelligently waived the right to counsel in the
case; and
``(ii) in the case of a prosecution for an offense
described in this paragraph for which a person was entitled to
a jury trial in the jurisdiction in which the case was tried,
either--
``(I) the case was tried by a jury; or
``(II) the person knowingly and intelligently
waived the right to have the case tried by a jury, by
guilty plea or otherwise.
``(C) A person shall not be considered to have been convicted of
such an offense for purposes of this chapter if the conviction has been
expunged or set aside, or is an offense for which the person has been
pardoned or has had civil rights restored (if the law of the applicable
jurisdiction provides for the loss of civil rights under such an
offense) unless the pardon, expungement, or restoration of civil rights
expressly provides that the person may not ship, transport, possess, or
receive firearms.''; and
(2) in section 922--
(A) in subsection (d)--
(i) by redesignating paragraphs (10) and
(11) as paragraphs (11) and (12), respectively;
(ii) by inserting after paragraph (9) the
following:
``(10) has been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor
crime of stalking;''; and
(iii) in paragraph (12), as so
redesignated, by striking ``(10)'' and
inserting ``(11)''; and
(B) in subsection (g)--

the end;
(ii) in paragraph (9), by striking the
