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 ``Western Balkans Democracy and Prosperity Act''. (b) Table of Contents.--The table of contents for this Act is as follows: Sec. 1. Short title; table of contents. Sec. 2. Findings. Sec. 3. Sense of Congress. Sec. 4. Definitions. Sec. 5. Codification of sanctions relating to the Western Balkans. Sec. 6.

Supporting cybersecurity and cyber resilience in the Western Balkans. Sec. 12. Sense of Congress regarding an interim agreement. Sec. 13. Sunset. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) The Western Balkans countries (the Republic of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Kosovo, Montenegro, the Republic of North Macedonia, and the Republic of Serbia) form a pluralistic, multi-ethnic region in the heart of Europe that is critical to the peace, stability, and prosperity of Europe. (2) Continued peace, stability, and prosperity in the Western Balkans is directly tied to opportunities for democratic and economic advancement available to the citizens and residents of those 6 countries. (3) It is in the mutual interest of the United States and the 6 countries of the Western Balkans to promote stable and sustainable economic growth and development in the region. (4) The reforms and integration with the European Union pursued by countries in the Western Balkans have led to significant democratic and economic progress in the region. (5) Despite economic progress, rates of poverty and unemployment in the Western Balkans remain higher than in neighboring European Union countries. (6) Out-migration, particularly of youth, is affecting demographics in each Western Balkans country, resulting in negative population growth in all 6 countries. (7) Creating an enabling environment for transparent, accountable, and market-oriented investment and creating employment opportunities in the Western Balkans, especially for youth, can provide powerful tools for economic development and for encouraging broader participation in a political process that increases prosperity for all. (8) Offering opportunities for inclusive, transparent economic growth and merit-based employment to people living in the Western Balkans will encourage higher levels of trade and direct investment and support positive economic and political developments occurring throughout the region. (9) Existing regional economic efforts, such as the Common Regional Market and the Open Balkan initiative, when aligned with European Union standards, norms, and regulations, have the potential to improve the economic conditions in the Western Balkans, while promoting inclusion and transparency. (10) The Department of Commerce, through its Foreign Commercial Service, plays an important role in promoting and facilitating opportunities for United States trade and investment. (11) Corruption continues to plague the Western Balkans and represents one of the greatest impediments to further economic and political development in the region. (12) Disinformation campaigns targeting the Western Balkans threaten the credibility of Western democratic institutions. (13) Vulnerabilities to corrosive capital, malign economic influence, interference, and economic coercion are acutely present in Western Balkans economies. (14) Vulnerability to cyberattacks or attacks on information and communication technology infrastructure increases risks to the functioning of government and the delivery of public services. (15) United States Cyber Command plays a critical role in defending the national security interests of the United States. (16) Securing domestic and international cyber networks and electronic infrastructure is a national security priority for the United States, which is exemplified by offices and programs across the Federal Government that support cyber security, including-- (A) the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency; (B) the Department of State's Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy; (C) the United States Agency for International Development's Digital Strategy; and (D) the Department of Energy's CyberForce Program. (17) Corruption and disinformation proliferate in political environments marked by autocratic control or partisan conflict. (18) Dependence on Russian sources of oil and natural gas for the countries of the Western Balkans ties their economies and politics to the Russian Federation and inhibits their aspirations for European integration. (19) The reliance of the Western Balkans on fossil fuels for energy sources causes damage to the environment and to human health, while inhibiting economic development in the region. (20) Reducing the reliance of the Western Balkans on Russian natural gas supplies is in the national interest of the United States. (21) The growing influence of China in the Western Balkans could also have a deleterious impact on strategic competition, democracy, and economic integration with Europe. (22) The United States International Development Finance Corporation plays an important role in the pursuit of United States policy goals focused on economic development.

A violation is subject to criminal penalties.</p> <p>Second, the bill requires any person who administers a COVID-19 vaccine to provide a potential recipient with certain information about the risks associated with the vaccine so the potential recipient can make an informed decision. </p> <p>Third, the bill generally prohibits the public disclosure of an individual's&nbsp;COVID-19&nbsp;vaccination status without express, written consent. A violation is subject to criminal and civil penalties.</p> <p>This bill does not preempt state or local laws that provide greater privacy protection than these provisions. </p>

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 ``Digital Platform Commission Act of 2023''. (b) Table of Contents.--The table of contents for this Act is as follows: Sec. 1.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following: (1) In the United States and around the world, digital platforms and online services play a central role in modern life by providing new tools for communication, commerce, entrepreneurship, and debate. (2) The United States takes pride in the success of its technology sector, which leads the world in innovation and dynamism, provides valuable services to the people of the United States, and supports thousands of good-paying jobs in the United States. (3) In recent years, a few digital platforms have benefitted from the combination of economies of scale, network effects, and unique characteristics of the digital marketplace to achieve vast power over the economy, society, and democracy of the United States. (4) The last time Congress enacted legislation to meaningfully regulate the technology or telecommunications sector was the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Public Law 104- 104; 110 Stat 56.), years before many of today's largest digital platforms even existed. (5) Digital platforms remain largely unregulated and are left to write their own rules without meaningful democratic input or accountability. (6) The unregulated policies and operations of some of the most powerful digital platforms have at times produced demonstrable harm, including-- (A) undercutting small businesses; (B) abetting the collapse of trusted local journalism; (C) enabling addiction and other harms to the mental health of the people of the United States, especially minors; (D) disseminating disinformation and hate speech; (E) undermining privacy and monetizing the personal data of individuals in the United States without their informed consent; (F) in some cases, radicalizing individuals to violence; and (G) perpetuating discriminatory treatment of communities of color and underserved populations. (7) The development of increasingly powerful algorithmic processes for communication, research, content generation, and decision making, such as generative artificial intelligence, threatens to magnify the harms identified in paragraph (6) without mechanisms for proper oversight and regulation to protect the public interest. (8) The failure of the United States Government to establish appropriate regulations for digital platforms cedes to foreign competitors the historic role played by the United States in setting reasonable rules of the road and technical standards for emerging technologies. (9) Throughout the history of the United States, Congress has often responded to the emergence of powerful and complex new sectors of the economy by empowering sector-specific expert Federal regulators. (10) Throughout the history of the United States, the Federal Government has established reasonable regulation, consistent with the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, to promote a diversity of viewpoints, support civic engagement, and preserve the right of citizens to communicate with each other, which is foundational to self- governance. (11) The unique power and complexity of several digital platforms, combined with the absence of modern Federal regulations, reinforces the need for a new Federal body equipped with the authorities, tools, and expertise to regulate digital platforms to ensure their operations remain consistent, where appropriate, with the public interest. (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the Federal agency established under this Act should-- (1) develop appropriate regulations and policies grounded in the common law principles of the duty of care and the duty to deal, insofar as those principles are relevant and practical; and (2) adopt, where relevant and practical, a risk management regulatory approach that prioritizes anticipating, limiting, and balancing against other interests the broad economic, societal, and political risks of harm posed by the activities and operations of a person or class of persons. SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 1674 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 1674 To provide for better security and accountability with respect to the strategic and non-strategic nuclear arsenals of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 18, 2023 Mr. Cotton (for himself, Mr. Risch, Mr. Rubio, Mr. Cramer, Mr. Scott of Florida, Mr. Barrasso, Mr. Budd, Mr. Ricketts, Mr. Hagerty, Mr. Rounds, and Mr. Cruz) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To provide for better security and accountability with respect to the strategic and non-strategic nuclear arsenals of the Russian Federation and 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 ``No START Treaty Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) The United States and the Russian Federation signed the New START Treaty in April 2010, and the treaty entered into force in February 2011. (2) The central limits of the New START Treaty prohibit the United States and the Russian Federation from possessing any more than 700 deployed strategic nuclear launchers, 800 deployed and non-deployed strategic nuclear launchers, and 1,550 nuclear warheads attributed to those deployed launchers. (3) The New START Treaty includes an inspection and verification regime that includes 18 on-site inspections per year, data exchanges and notifications, and a Bilateral Consultative Commission as a compliance and implementation convening body. (4) The New START Treaty allows each party the right to withdraw if it decides that extraordinary events related to the subject matter of the treaty jeopardize its supreme interests. (5) The New START Treaty placed no constraints on Russia's estimated 2,000 non-strategic nuclear weapons, which can be delivered by a variety of ground-based, air-based, and sea- based platforms. In contrast, the United States possesses only a small inventory of aircraft-deliverable non-strategic nuclear gravity bombs. (6) The New START Treaty did not constrain the arsenal of the People's Republic of China, which is now engaged in a strategic breakout of its nuclear forces. The Department of Defense estimates that China will have about 1,000 operational nuclear warheads by 2030 and about 1,500 warheads by 2035 if it continues at its current pace. (7) The Department of Defense acknowledged in its 2022 Report on Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China that China took only two years to double its nuclear arsenal, far sooner than the Department's 2020 estimate that it would take China until 2030 to double its nuclear arsenal. (8) Even when the Russian Federation was found compliant with the New START Treaty, it developed multiple strategic nuclear-armed systems that circumvented the spirit and intent of the treaty, such as a nuclear-powered cruise missile and nuclear-powered torpedo. (9) In March 2020, the United States and the Russian Federation mutually agreed to suspend New START Treaty inspections due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (10) On February 3, 2021, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the unconditional extension of the New START Treaty for an additional five years, until February 5, 2026, the maximum extension allowed by the treaty. (11) The Russian Federation refused United States requests in August 2022 to resume New START inspections and refused to engage in the Bilateral Consultative Commission with the United States in November 2022 to work towards resuming inspections. (12) Given Russia's refusal to resume mandatory inspections and refusal to participate in the Bilateral Consultative Commission as required by the treaty, the Department of State declared in January 2023 that Russia was noncompliant with the New START Treaty. (13) In February 2023, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin announced that Russia would ``suspend'' its participation in the New START Treaty. The New START Treaty has no provision for suspension. Russia shortly thereafter ceased providing to the United States the data on its nuclear arsenal that is required under the treaty. (14) The United States remains in compliance with the central limits of the New START Treaty and attempted in good faith to resume mutual inspections under the treaty. (15) The United States has not deployed a new nuclear- capable delivery system in over 30 years, while the Russian Federation has in that same time deployed over a dozen new nuclear-capable delivery systems. Russia also has active nuclear production facilities that enable it to produce large numbers of new warheads. (16) The United States nuclear modernization program of record does not expand the United States nuclear arsenal from current levels, while the People's Republic of China is growing its nuclear arsenal as part of what former Commander of the United States Strategic Command, Admiral Richard, has labeled ``breathtaking''. China's deployed forces will achieve effective parity with the United States arsenal deployed under the New START Treaty by 2035, if not sooner. (17) In its resolution of advice and consent to ratification of the New START Treaty in 2010, the Senate stated that ``if, during the time the New START Treaty remains in force, the President determines that there has been an expansion of the strategic arsenal of any country not party to the New START Treaty so as to jeopardize the supreme interests of the United States, then the President should consult on an urgent basis with the Senate to determine whether adherence to the New START Treaty remains in the national interest of the United States''. To date, the President has taken no action to consult with the Senate on this issue, even though China's actions clearly meet this standard. (18) For deterrence to be effective, United States Strategic Command needs to be confident it can hold at risk what an adversary values most, including its nuclear forces. Therefore, the expansion of the nuclear arsenals of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China directly impact United States deterrence requirements. SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS. It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) arms control is not an end in and of itself, and is only useful if it strengthens the security of the United States and its allies; (2) the extension of the New START Treaty in 2021 with no conditions attached and no attempts to resolve the numerous shortcomings of the original treaty harmed United States national security and emboldened America's adversaries; (3) the Russian Federation is in material breach of its commitments under the New START Treaty, and Russia's ``suspension'' of the treaty represents a de facto withdrawal from the treaty; (4) Russia's de facto withdrawal from the New START Treaty removes the treaty's value to the national security interest of the United States and its allies of limiting strategic nuclear weapons, as the United States is now unable to confirm Russia is adhering to the central limits of the treaty; (5) China's nuclear buildup meets the Senate criterion of an expansion of the strategic arsenal of a country not party to the New START Treaty that jeopardizes the supreme interests of the United States; (6) Due to Russia's de facto withdrawal from the New START Treaty and China's nuclear expansion, the New START Treaty is no longer in the United States national interest and the United States should withdraw; (7) after the New START Treaty expires or becomes defunct, any new arms control agreement or treaty that sets numerical limits on nuclear arsenals should limit the Russian Federation's nuclear arsenal--strategic and non-strategic--and should also restrict the nuclear arsenal of the People's Republic of China without allowing China to increase its arsenal to reach treaty limits; (8) the United States should not divest itself of, or slow or halt the development or procurement of, any nuclear-capable strategic or non-strategic delivery systems unless a new nuclear arms control treaty is ratified that similarly constrains the nuclear arsenals of both the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China; and (9) the United States should strengthen its nuclear forces, to include growing the size of its nuclear arsenal, strengthening its force posture, and acquiring additional capabilities, to account for the growth in deterrence requirements caused by the expansion of the nuclear arsenals of the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation since the New START Treaty was signed, as well as to hedge against a Russian breakout from New START Treaty limits. SEC. 4. ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR NUCLEAR FORCE STRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED. (a) In General.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on United States nuclear deterrence. (b) Elements.--The report required under subsection (a) shall include the following elements: (1) An assessment of the adequacy of the current and planned nuclear arsenal of the United States for purposes of facing its adversaries, with a focus on the new dynamics associated with facing two major nuclear powers simultaneously in both peacetime and in conflict. The assessment shall describe-- (A) the sufficiency of the size and structure of the current and planned arsenal to maintain deterrence with respect to two nuclear-peers without reduced levels of risk or redundancy; (B) the sufficiency of the size and structure of the current and planned arsenal to maintain deterrence of two nuclear-peers without reduced levels of risk or redundancy should the Russian Federation grow its nuclear forces beyond the levels allowed under the central limits of the New START Treaty and should the People's Republic of China continue to grow its nuclear forces after reaching parity with the currently deployed United States nuclear arsenal under the New START Treaty; (C) the impact of emerging technology, such as nuclear-armed hypersonic weapons and fractional orbital bombardment systems, on United States nuclear posture and planning; and (D) the current and planned sufficiency of nuclear command, control, and communications capabilities in crisis or conflict scenarios. (2) A proposed implementation plan to address any deficiencies found in the assessment described in paragraph (1). The plan shall include-- (A) needed changes to the planned nuclear force structure and force posture based on any gaps in deterrence and assurance capabilities; (B) a proposal and timeline to improve the survivability of the strategic bomber force; (C) a proposal and timeline detailing the steps necessary to return a portion of the strategic bomber force to heightened alert status; (D) a proposal and timeline detailing the steps necessary to reduce the time necessary to upload nuclear weapons to the bomber force; (E) a proposal and timeline detailing the steps necessary-- (i) to upload additional warheads to the Minuteman III ICBM fleet to its full capacity; and (ii) to deploy Sentinel missiles as they come online with the maximum number of warheads that can be deployed on each missile; and (F) a proposal and timeline detailing the steps necessary to restore submarine-launched ballistic missile tubes on Ohio-class submarines that were rendered inoperable to comply with the terms of the New START Treaty. (3) The national security implications of-- (A) any unilateral reductions of the United States nuclear arsenal without corresponding reductions in Russia and China's nuclear arsenal; and (B) any unilateral reductions in the United States' national and theater missile defense without corresponding reductions in Russia and China's missile defense. SEC. 5. REQUIREMENTS FOR FUTURE NUCLEAR ARMS AGREEMENTS. (a) Requirements.--The President and any representative of the President shall not negotiate, sign, or otherwise agree to any treaty with the Russian Federation pertaining to nuclear weapons where the number of nuclear warheads or nuclear-capable delivery systems possessed by the Russian Federation would be numerically equal in size to, or greater than, the nuclear arsenal of the United States, unless such treaty or agreement-- (1) also restricts the size of the nuclear arsenal of the People's Republic of China without allowing China to build up to treaty limits; (2) includes an inspection regime and other verification measures to ensure with high confidence that the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China are compliant with the terms of the treaty or agreement; (3) includes an inspection regime of the relevant nuclear facilities of the People's Republic of China that is comparable to the treaty's or agreement's inspection regime of the relevant nuclear facilities of the Russian Federation; (4) includes current and future Russian strategic nuclear systems of a strategic character that are not currently limited by the New START Treaty, including-- (A) non-ballistic missiles of intercontinental ranges; (B) underwater unmanned systems of intercontinental ranges; and (C) hypersonic glide vehicles that can be delivered by systems of intercontinental ranges; and (5) includes current and future non-strategic nuclear weapons and delivery systems. (b) Prohibition on Unilateral Reductions.-- (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the President shall not reduce the size of the United States nuclear arsenal without a nuclear arms treaty approved with the advice and consent of the Senate, pursuant to article II, section 2, clause 2 of the Constitution of the United States that satisfies the requirements described in subsection (a). (2) Exception.--The prohibition in paragraph (1) does not apply to the following activities: (A) The maintenance or sustainment of United States nuclear systems. (B) Ensuring the safety, security, or reliability of United States nuclear systems. (C) Facilitating the transition of existing legacy systems to modern delivery systems. (c) Prohibition on Bargaining With Missile Defense.--The President shall not negotiate, sign, or otherwise agree to any agreement or treaty with the Russian Federation or the People's Republic of China that would limit or reduce the United States national or theater missile defenses unless the United States has already ratified a treaty that satisfies the requirements described in subsection (a). (d) Withholding of Funds.--Beginning on the date that is one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, no funds shall be expended to implement the New START Treaty, any successor agreement to the New START Treaty, or any other new or newly amended nuclear arms control treaty or agreement with the Russian Federation that limits the numbers of nuclear warheads or nuclear-capable delivery systems possessed by the United States unless-- (1) such treaties or agreements satisfy the requirements described in subsection (a); or (2) a different treaty or agreement is already in effect that satisfies the requirements described in subsection (a). (e) Waiver.--The President may waive the prohibition in subsection (d) with respect to a particular new or newly amended agreement or treaty if-- (1) two-thirds of the Senate first agrees to a joint resolution of approval in support of the new or newly amended agreement or treaty; and (2) the President certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that the agreement or treaty is in the national security interests of the United States and does not harm the deterrent capability of the United States. SEC. 6. DEFINITIONS. In this Act: (1) Appropriate congressional committees.--The term ``appropriate congressional committees'' means-- (A) the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on Foreign Relations, and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate; and (B) the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives. (2) New start treaty.--the term ``New START Treaty'' means the Treaty between the United States of America and the Russian Federation on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, signed April 8, 2010, and entered into force February 5, 2011. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Democracy Restoration Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) The right to vote is the most basic constitutive act of citizenship. Regaining the right to vote reintegrates individuals with criminal convictions into free society, helping to enhance public safety. (2) Article I, section 4, of the Constitution grants Congress ultimate supervisory power over Federal elections, an authority which has repeatedly been upheld by the United States Supreme Court. (3) Basic constitutional principles of fairness and equal protection require an equal opportunity for citizens of the United States to vote in Federal elections. The right to vote may not be abridged or denied by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, gender, or previous condition of servitude. The 13th, 14th, 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th Amendments to the Constitution empower Congress to enact measures to protect the right to vote in Federal elections. The 8th Amendment to the Constitution provides for no excessive bail to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. (4) There are 3 areas in which discrepancies in State laws regarding criminal convictions lead to unfairness in Federal elections-- (A) the lack of a uniform standard for voting in Federal elections leads to an unfair disparity and unequal participation in Federal elections based solely on where a person lives; (B) laws governing the restoration of voting rights after a criminal conviction vary throughout the country and persons in some States can easily regain their voting rights while in other States persons effectively lose their right to vote permanently; and (C) State disenfranchisement laws disproportionately impact racial and ethnic minorities. (5) State disenfranchisement laws vary widely. Two States (Maine and Vermont) and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico do not disenfranchise individuals with criminal convictions at all. In 2020, the District of Columbia re-enfranchised its citizens who are under the supervision of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Twenty-five States disenfranchise certain individuals on felony probation or parole. During 2023, lawmakers in Minnesota and New Mexico expanded voting rights to citizens on felony probation and parole. In 11 States, a conviction for certain offenses can result in lifetime disenfranchisement. (6) Several States deny the right to vote to individuals convicted of certain misdemeanors. (7) In 2022, over 4,600,000 citizens of the United States, or about 1 in 50 adults in the United States, could not vote as a result of a felony conviction. Of the 4,600,000 citizens barred from voting then, only 23 percent were in prison or jail. By contrast, 75 percent of persons disenfranchised then resided in their communities while on probation or parole or after having completed their sentences. Approximately 2,200,000 citizens who had completed their sentences were disenfranchised due to restrictive State laws. Over 930,000 Floridians who completed their sentence remain disenfranchised because of a pay-to-vote requirement that was enacted by Florida lawmakers in 2019 to undermine the impact of a 2018 ballot initiative that eliminated the lifetime ban for persons with certain felony convictions. In 3 States--Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee--more than 8 percent of the total population is disenfranchised. (8) In those States that disenfranchise individuals post- sentence, the right to vote can be regained in theory, but in practice this possibility is often granted in a non-uniform and potentially discriminatory manner. Disenfranchised individuals sometimes must either obtain a pardon or an order from the Governor or an action by the parole or pardon board, depending on the offense and State. Financial restrictions may also inhibit individuals who have completed their sentences from re- enfranchisement. Individuals convicted of a Federal offense often have additional barriers to regaining voting rights. (9) Many felony disenfranchisement laws today derive directly from post-Civil War efforts to stifle the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Between 1865 and 1880, at least 14 States--Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas--enacted or expanded their felony disenfranchisement laws. One of the primary goals of these laws was to prevent African Americans from voting. Of the States that enacted or expanded their felony disenfranchisement laws during this post-Civil War period, at least 11 continue to preclude persons on felony probation or parole from voting. (10) State disenfranchisement laws disproportionately impact racial and ethnic minorities. In recent years, African Americans have been imprisoned at over 5 times the rate of Whites. More than 6 percent of the voting-age African-American population, or 1,800,000 African Americans, are disenfranchised due to a felony conviction. In 9 States--Alabama (16 percent), Arizona (13 percent), Florida (15 percent), Kentucky (15 percent), Mississippi (16 percent), South Dakota (14 percent), Tennessee (21 percent), Virginia (16 percent), and Wyoming (36 percent)--more than 1 in 8 African Americans are unable to vote because of a felony conviction, twice the national average for African Americans. (11) Latino citizens are also disproportionately disenfranchised based upon their disproportionate representation in the criminal justice system. Although data on ethnicity in correctional populations are unevenly reported and undercounted in some States, a conservative estimate is that at least 506,000 Latino Americans or 1.7 percent of the voting-age population are disenfranchised. More than 2 percent of the voting-age Latino population, or 560,000 Latinos, are disenfranchised due to a felony conviction. In 31 States Latinos are disenfranchised at a higher rate than the general population. In Arizona and Tennessee over 6 percent of Latino voters are disenfranchised due to a felony conviction. (12) Women have been significantly impacted by mass incarceration since the early 1980s. Approximately 1,000,000 women were disenfranchised in 2022, comprising over 20 percent of the total disenfranchised population. (13) Disenfranchising citizens who have been convicted of a criminal offense and who are living and working in the community serves no compelling State interest and hinders their rehabilitation and reintegration into society. Models of successful re-entry for persons convicted of a crime emphasize the importance of community ties, feeling vested and integrated, and prosocial attitudes. Individuals with criminal convictions who succeed in avoiding recidivism are typically more likely to see themselves as law-abiding members of the community. Restoration of voting rights builds those qualities and facilitates reintegration into the community. That is why allowing citizens with criminal convictions who are living in a community to vote is correlated with a lower likelihood of recidivism. Restoration of voting rights thus reduces violence and protects public safety. (14) State disenfranchisement laws can suppress electoral participation among eligible voters by discouraging voting among family and community members of disenfranchised persons. Future electoral participation by the children of disenfranchised parents may be impacted as well. (15) The United States is one of the only Western democracies that permits the permanent denial of voting rights for individuals with felony convictions. (16) The Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishments ``guarantees individuals the right not to be subjected to excessive sanctions.'' (Roper v. Simmons, 543 U.S. 551, 560 (2005)). That right stems from the basic precept of justice ``that punishment for crime should be graduated and proportioned to [the] offense.'' Id. (quoting Weems v. United States, 217 U.S. 349, 367 (1910)). As the Supreme Court has long recognized, ``[t]he concept of proportionality is central to the Eighth Amendment.'' (Graham v. Florida, 560 U.S. 48, 59 (2010)). Many State disenfranchisement laws are grossly disproportional to the offenses that lead to disenfranchisement and thus violate the bar on cruel and unusual punishments. For example, a number of States mandate lifetime disenfranchisement for a single felony conviction or just two felony convictions, even where the convictions were for non-violent offenses. In numerous other States, disenfranchisement can last years or even decades while individuals remain on probation or parole, often only because a person cannot pay their legal financial obligations. These kinds of extreme voting bans run afoul of the Eighth Amendment. (17) The Twenty-Fourth Amendment provides that the right to vote ``shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.'' Section 2 of the Twenty-Fourth Amendment gives Congress the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. Court fines and fees that individuals must pay to have their voting rights restored constitute an ``other tax'' for purposes of the Twenty-Fourth Amendment. At least five States explicitly require the payment of fines and fees before individuals with felony convictions can have their voting rights restored. More than 20 other States effectively tie the right to vote to the payment of fines and fees, by requiring that individuals complete their probation or parole before their rights are restored. In these States, the non-payment of fines and fees is a basis on which probation or parole can be extended. Moreover, these States sometimes do not record the basis on which an individual's probation or parole was extended, making it impossible to determine from the State's records whether non- payment of fines and fees is the reason that an individual remains on probation or parole. For these reasons, the only way to ensure that States do not deny the right to vote based solely on non-payment of fines and fees is to prevent States from conditioning voting rights on the completion of probation or parole. SEC. 3. RIGHTS OF CITIZENS.

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 ``Reforming Disaster Recovery Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds that-- (1) following a major disaster declared by the President under section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5170), the subset of communities that are most impacted and distressed as a result of the disaster face critical social, economic, and environmental obstacles to recovery, including insufficient public and private resources to address disaster-related housing and community development needs for lower income households and distressed communities; (2) unmet disaster recovery needs, including housing assistance needs, can be especially widespread among persons with extremely low-, low-, and moderate-incomes; (3) economic, social, and housing hardships that affect communities before disasters are exacerbated during crises and can delay and complicate long-term recovery, especially after catastrophic major disasters; (4) States, units of local government, and Indian Tribes within the most impacted and distressed areas resulting from major disasters benefit from flexibility to design programs that meet local needs, but face inadequate financial, technical, and staffing capacity to plan and carry out sustained recovery, restoration, and mitigation activities; (5) the speed and effectiveness considerations of long-term recovery from catastrophic major disasters is improved by predictable investments that support disaster relief, long-term recovery, restoration of housing and infrastructure, and economic revitalization, primarily for the benefit of low- and moderate-income persons; (6) undertaking activities that mitigate the effects of future natural disasters and extreme weather and increase the stock of affordable housing, including affordable rental housing, as part of long-term recovery can significantly reduce future fiscal and social costs, especially within high-risk areas, and can help to address outstanding housing and community development needs by creating jobs and providing other economic and social benefits within communities that further promote recovery and resilience; and (7) the general welfare and security of the United States and the health and living standards of its people require targeted resources to support State and local governments in carrying out their responsibilities in disaster recovery and mitigation through interim and long-term housing and community development activities that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons.

(2) Sequestration.--For purposes of this subsection, the term ``sequestration'' means any reduction in direct spending ordered in accordance with a sequestration report prepared by the Director of the Office and Management and Budget pursuant to the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 or the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 or future legislation having similar effect.

Indo-Pacific Strategic Energy Initiative Act
[ [ "S001198", "Sen. Sullivan, Dan [R-AK]", "sponsor" ], [ "H000601", "Sen. Hagerty, Bill [R-TN]", "cosponsor" ] ]
<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 1720 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 1720 To provide support for energy infrastructure projects in the Indo- Pacific region, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 18, 2023 Mr. Sullivan (for himself and Mr. Hagerty) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To provide support for energy infrastructure projects in the Indo- Pacific region, 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 ``Indo-Pacific Strategic Energy Initiative Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) The United States currently has an approximately 100- year supply of natural gas in proven reserves. (2) The Department of Energy projects global consumption of natural gas to increase through at least 2050, driven primarily by demand growth in Asia. (3) United States natural gas production increased by 91 percent from 2005 to 2021. At the same time, United States energy-related carbon dioxide emissions decreased by 18 percent. (4) The growth in domestic natural gas production has resulted in a change from the United States importing a net 566,000,000,000 cubic feet of liquified natural gas in 2005, to exporting a net 3,539,000,000 cubic feet in 2021. During that period, crude oil production in the United States more than doubled. (5) As a result of the revolution in oil and gas production technologies, the United States petroleum trade went from its peak net import volume of 12,549 barrels per day in 2005, to a net export of 62,000 barrels per day in 2021. At Brent crude prices, in nominal dollars, this reflects a trade deficit of about $250,000,000,000 in 2005, changing to a surplus of about $1,600,000,000 in 2021. (6) Demand for natural gas is rising in the Indo-Pacific region, particularly as countries look to make emissions reductions and transition from higher emissions fuel sources. (7) According to the International Energy Agency, ``The number of countries and territories with [liquefied natural gas] import terminals has grown from nine in 2000, to 42 in 2020.''. Further, the International Energy Agency has found that ``transition[s] in Asian gas markets [are] even more important in the wider context of global clean energy transitions, where natural gas will be required to make a more flexible contribution''. (8) Australia and the United States are both important global energy exporters and thus have a shared interest in supplying the growing energy demand in the Indo-Pacific region. (9) Japanese companies have long invested in United States liquefied natural gas projects and the Government of Japan has shifted from relying on liquefied natural gas from the Middle East to liquefied natural gas from the United States. (10) The People's Republic of China currently is one of the largest financiers of overseas energy- and greenhouse gas- intensive projects and the expanding number of infrastructure projects in the Indo-Pacific region, carried out under the People's Republic of China's Belt and Road Initiative, is leading to higher emissions, coercive dependence, and environmental degradation in the region. (11) European Union demand for liquefied natural gas is expected to rise from about 72,000,000 tons per year in 2021, to more than 110,000,000 tons per year until at least 2030. (12) United States-produced oil and natural gas has one of the lowest lifecycle emissions profiles in the world. A 2019 analysis by the Department of Energy found that natural gas pipelined from the Russian Federation to Europe's electricity sector has 41 percent higher lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions than United States liquefied natural gas shipped to Europe. The World Bank estimates that the flaring intensity of United States oil and gas production in 2021 was 69 percent lower than in the Russian Federation. (13) Between 2009 and 2019, use of United States natural gas as a feedstock for hydrogen production increased from 143,004,000 cubic feet to 199,050,000 cubic feet, or a 39.2 percent increase. According to the Department of Energy, 95 percent of the hydrogen produced in the United States is made by natural gas reforming in large central plants. That is an important technology pathway for near-term hydrogen production and reducing global emissions. SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS. It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) the United States reaffirms its commitment to quadrilateral cooperation with Japan, India, and Australia (collectively, with the United States, known as the ``Quad''), and that the United States should continue to pursue strengthening cooperation in the energy sector in light of the global threats and challenges facing all 4 countries, including through upstream investments in energy infrastructure and other investments across the natural gas value chain to enhance energy security; (2) the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (commonly referred to as ``ASEAN'') and its 10 members (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) have worked with the United States toward stability, prosperity, and peace in Southeast Asia, and ASEAN will continue to remain a strong, reliable, and active economic and strategic partner in the Indo-Pacific region; (3) the United States and the Republic of Korea enjoy a comprehensive alliance partnership, founded on shared strategic interests and cemented by a commitment to democratic values, which includes recognizing the important role of energy cooperation through the United States-Republic of Korea Energy Security Dialogue; (4) the United States and Japan also enjoy a comprehensive alliance partnership, which is founded on shared strategic interests and cemented by a commitment to democratic values, including recognizing the important role of energy cooperation and maintaining an enabling regulatory environment to facilitate continued and increasing liquefied natural gas supplies through the United States-Japan Energy Security Dialogue; (5) the United States has economic, national security, and domestic interests in assisting allies and partners in Indo- Pacific countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve energy security through diversification of their energy sources and supply routes; (6) the Group of Seven (G7), which includes both the United States and Japan, recognized the important role of energy cooperation and that ``investment in the gas sector can be appropriate to help address potential market shortfalls'' through the G7 Climate, Energy and Environment Ministers' Communique; and (7) the United States should not create unnecessary domestic obstacles to exporting liquefied natural gas and impose restrictions on the international financing of liquefied natural gas infrastructure abroad. SEC. 4. STATEMENT OF POLICY. It is the policy of the United States-- (1) to advance United States foreign policy and development goals by assisting allies and partners of the United States in the Indo-Pacific region to decrease their dependence on energy resources from countries that use energy dependence to coerce, intimidate, and influence other countries; (2) to develop strategies to counter competition from the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China to protect the energy and national security of the United States and the energy and national security of allies and partners of the United States in the Indo-Pacific region; (3) to support free and open trade in clean energy products and promote the continued development of lower-emissions energy fuels and technologies in the Indo-Pacific region; (4) to improve free, fair, and reciprocal energy trading relationships with allies and partners of the United States in the Indo-Pacific region; (5) to promote the energy security of allies and partners of the United States in the Indo-Pacific region by encouraging the development of energy infrastructure and accessible, transparent, and competitive energy markets that provide diversified sources, types, and routes of energy; (6) to encourage public and private sector investment in energy infrastructure projects in the Indo-Pacific region; (7) to engage and lead on international emissions reductions through the export of United States-produced fuels and emission-reduction technologies and provide access to modern and reliable energy services that promote economic development; (8) to help facilitate the export of United States energy resources, technology, and expertise to global markets in a way that benefits the energy security of allies and partners of the United States in the Indo-Pacific region; and (9) to supply countries that rely on higher-emitting fuel sources with abundant alternatives that have lower lifecycle emissions profiles.

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 1723 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 1723 To establish the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies in the United States, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 18, 2023 Ms. Warren (for herself, Mr. Markey, Ms. Smith, Mr. Casey, Mr. Hickenlooper, Mr. Blumenthal, Mr. Durbin, Mr. Padilla, Mr. Booker, Mr. Merkley, Ms. Baldwin, Ms. Hirono, Ms. Sinema, Mr. Kelly, Ms. Cortez Masto, Mr. Van Hollen, Mr. Lujan, Mr. Wyden, Mr. Bennet, Mr. Schatz, Ms. Cantwell, Mr. Heinrich, Ms. Klobuchar, Mrs. Murray, Mr. Tester, Mr. Sanders, and Ms. Murkowski) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Indian Affairs _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To establish the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies in the United States, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds that-- (1) assimilation processes, such as the Indian Boarding School Policies, were adopted by the United States Government to strip American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children of their Indigenous identities, beliefs, and languages to assimilate them into non-Native culture through federally funded and controlled Christian-run schools, which had the intent and, in many cases, the effect, of termination, with dire and intentional consequences on the cultures and languages of Indigenous peoples; (2) assimilation processes can be traced back to-- (A) the enactment of the Act of March 3, 1819 (3 Stat. 516, chapter 85) (commonly known as the ``Indian Civilization Fund Act of 1819''), which created a fund to administer the education, healthcare, and rations promised to Tribal nations under treaties those Tribal nations had with the United States; and (B) the Grant Administration's peace policy with Tribal nations in 1868, which, among other things, authorized amounts in the fund established under the Act of March 3, 1819 (3 Stat. 516, chapter 85) (commonly known as the ``Indian Civilization Fund Act of 1819''), to be used by churches; (3) according to research from the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition, the Federal Government funded church-run boarding schools for Native Americans from 1819 through the 1960s under the Act of March 3, 1819 (3 Stat. 516, chapter 85), which authorized the forced removal of hundreds of thousands of American Indian and Alaska Native children as young as 3 years old, relocating them from their traditional homelands to 1 of at least 367 known Indian boarding schools, of which 73 remain open today, across 30 States; (4) beginning in 1820, missionaries from the United States arrived in Hawai`i, bringing a similar desire to civilize Native Hawaiians and convert ``Hawaiian heathens'' to Christians, establishing day schools and boarding schools that followed models first imposed on Tribal nations on the East Coast of the United States; (5) as estimated by David Wallace Adams, professor emeritus of history and education at Cleveland State University in Ohio, by 1926, nearly 83 percent of American Indian and Alaska Native school-age children were enrolled in Indian boarding schools in the United States, but, the full extent of the Indian Boarding School Policies has yet to be fully examined by-- (A) the Federal Government or the churches who ran those schools; or (B) other entities who profited from the existence of those schools; (6) General Richard Henry Pratt, the founder and superintendent of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, stated that the ethos of Indian Boarding School Policies was to ``kill the Indian in him, and save the man''; (7) in 1878, General Pratt brought a group of American Indian warriors held as prisoners of war to what was then known as the Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School in Hampton, Virginia, for a residential experiment in the education of Indigenous people; (8) prior to arriving to the Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School in 1878, the American Indian warriors held as prisoners of war had already spent 3 years imprisoned, during which time they were forced to shave their traditionally grown hair, dress in military uniforms, participate in Christian worship services, and adopt an English name; (9) General Samuel C. Armstrong, founder and, in 1878, principal, of the Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School, was influenced by his parents and other missionaries in the United States involved in the education of Native Hawaiian children; (10) General Armstrong modeled the Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School after the Hilo Boarding School in Hawai`i, a missionary-run boarding school that targeted high performing Native Hawaiians to become indoctrinated in Protestant ideology, which was similar to boarding schools led by missionaries in the similarly sovereign Five Tribes of Oklahoma, including the Cherokee and Chickasaw; (11) in addition to bringing a group of American Indian warriors held as prisoners of war to the Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School in 1878, General Pratt influenced Sheldon Jackson, a Presbyterian missionary who, in 1885, was appointed by the Secretary of the Interior to be a General Agent of Education in the Alaska Territory; (12) Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School continued as a boarding school for American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians until 1923; (13) founded in 1879, the Carlisle Indian Industrial School set the precedent for government-funded, off-reservation Indian boarding schools in the United States, where more than 10,000 American Indian and Alaska Native children were enrolled from more than 140 Indian Tribes; (14) Indian boarding schools, and the policies that created, funded, and fueled their existence, were designed to assimilate American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children into non-Native culture by stripping them of their cultural identities, often through physical, sexual, psychological, industrial, and spiritual abuse and neglect; (15) many of the children who were taken to Indian boarding schools did not survive, and of those who did survive, many never returned to their parents, extended families, and communities; (16) at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School alone, approximately 180 American Indian and Alaska Native children were buried; (17) according to research from the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition-- (A) while attending Indian boarding schools, American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children suffered additional physical, sexual, psychological, industrial, and spiritual abuse and neglect as they were sent to non-Native homes and businesses for involuntary and unpaid manual labor work during the summers; (B) many American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children escaped from Indian boarding schools by running away, and then remained missing or died of illnesses due to harsh living conditions, abuse, or substandard health care provided by the Indian boarding schools; (C) many American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children died at hospitals neighboring Indian boarding schools, including the Puyallup Indian School that opened in 1860, which was first renamed the Cushman Indian School in 1910 and then the Cushman Hospital in 1918; and (D) many of the American Indian and Alaska Native children who died while attending Indian boarding schools or neighboring hospitals were buried in unmarked graves or off-campus cemeteries; (18) according to independent ground penetrating radar and magnetometry research commissioned by the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition, evidence of those unmarked graves and off-campus cemeteries has been found, including-- (A) unmarked graves at Chemawa Indian School in Salem, Oregon; and (B) remains of children who were burned in incinerators at Indian boarding schools; (19) according to research from the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition, inaccurate, scattered, and missing school records make it difficult for families to locate their loved ones, especially because-- (A) less than 38 percent of Indian boarding school records have been located, from only 142 of the at least 367 known Indian boarding schools; and (B) all other records are believed to be held in catalogued and uncatalogued church archives, private collections, or lost or destroyed; (20) parents of the American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children who were forcibly removed from or coerced into leaving their homes and placed in Indian boarding schools were prohibited from visiting or engaging in correspondence with their children; (21) parental resistance to compliance with the harsh no- contact policy described in paragraph (20) resulted in the parents being incarcerated or losing access to basic human rights, food rations, and clothing; (22) in 2013, post-traumatic stress disorder rates among American Indian and Alaska Native youth were 3-times the general public, the same rates for post-traumatic stress disorder among veterans; (23) in 2014, the White House Report on Native Youth declared a state of emergency due to a suicide epidemic among American Indian and Alaska Native youth; (24) the 2018 Broken Promises Report published by the United States Commission on Civil Rights reported that American Indian and Alaska Native communities continue to experience intergenerational trauma resulting from experiences in Indian boarding schools, which divided cultural family structures, damaged Indigenous identities, and inflicted chronic psychological ramifications on American Indian and Alaska Native children and families; (25) the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences Study shows that adverse or traumatic childhood experiences disrupt brain development, leading to a higher likelihood of negative health outcomes as adults, including heart disease, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and early death; (26) American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians suffer from disproportional rates of each of the diseases described in paragraph (25) compared to the national average; (27) the longstanding intended consequences and ramifications of the treatment of American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children, families, and communities because of Federal policies and the funding of Indian boarding schools continue to impact Native communities through intergenerational trauma, cycles of violence and abuse, disappearance, health disparities, substance abuse, premature deaths, additional undocumented physical, sexual, psychological, industrial, and spiritual abuse and neglect, and trauma; (28) according to the Child Removal Survey conducted by the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition, the First Nations Repatriation Institute, and the University of Minnesota, 75 percent of Indian boarding school survivors who responded to the survey had attempted suicide, and nearly half of respondents to the survey reported being diagnosed with a mental health condition; (29) the continuing lasting implications of the Indian Boarding School Policies and the physical, sexual, psychological, industrial, and spiritual abuse and neglect of American Indian and Alaska Native children and families influenced the present-day operation of Bureau of Indian Education-operated schools; (30) Bureau of Indian Education-operated schools have often failed to meet the many needs of nearly 50,000 American Indian and Alaska Native students across 23 States; (31) in Alaska, where there are no Bureau of Indian Education-funded elementary and secondary schools, the State public education system often fails to meet the needs of Alaska Native students, families, and communities; (32) the assimilation policies imposed on American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians during the Indian boarding school era have been replicated through other Federal actions and programs, including the Indian Adoption Project in effect from 1958 to 1967, which placed American Indian and Alaska Native children in non-Indian households and institutions for foster care or adoption; (33) the Association on American Indian Affairs reported that the continuation of assimilation policies through Federal American Indian and Alaska Native adoption and foster care programs between 1941 to 1967 separated as many as one-third of American Indian and Alaska Native children from their families in Tribal communities; (34) in some States, greater than 50 percent of foster care children in State adoption systems are American Indian, Alaska Native, or Native Hawaiian children, including in Alaska, where over 60 percent of children in foster care are Alaska Native; (35) the general lack of public awareness, accountability, education, information, and acknowledgment of the ongoing and direct impacts of the Indian Boarding School Policies and related intergenerational trauma persists, signaling the overdue need for an investigative Federal commission to further document and expose assimilation and termination efforts to eradicate the cultures and languages of Indigenous peoples implemented under Indian Boarding School Policies; and (36) in the secretarial memorandum entitled ``Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative'' and dated June 22, 2021, Secretary of the Interior Debra Haaland stated the following: ``The assimilationist policies of the past are contrary to the doctrine of trust responsibility, under which the Federal Government must promote Tribal self-governance and cultural integrity. Nevertheless, the legacy of Indian boarding schools remains, manifesting itself in Indigenous communities through intergenerational trauma, cycles of violence and abuse, disappearance, premature deaths, and other undocumented bodily and mental impacts.''. SEC. 3. PURPOSES. The purposes of this Act are to establish a Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies in the United States-- (1) to formally investigate and document-- (A) the attempted termination of cultures and languages of Indigenous peoples, assimilation practices, and human rights violations that occurred against American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians through Indian Boarding School Policies in furtherance of the motto to ``kill the Indian in him and save the man''; and (B) the impacts and ongoing effects of historical and intergenerational trauma in Native communities, including the effects of the attempted cultural, religious, and linguistic termination of American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians, resulting from Indian Boarding School Policies; (2) to hold culturally respectful and meaningful public hearings for American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian survivors, victims, families, communities, organizations, and Tribal leaders to testify, discuss, and add to the documentation of, the impacts of the physical, psychological, and spiritual violence of Indian boarding schools; (3) to collaborate and exchange information with the Department of the Interior with respect to the review of the Indian Boarding School Policies announced by Secretary of the Interior Debra Haaland in the secretarial memorandum entitled ``Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative'' and dated June 22, 2021; and (4) to further develop recommendations for the Federal Government to acknowledge and heal the historical and intergenerational trauma caused by the Indian Boarding School Policies and other cultural and linguistic termination practices carried out by the Federal Government and State and local governments, including recommendations-- (A) for resources and assistance that the Federal Government should provide to aid in the healing of the trauma caused by the Indian Boarding School Policies; (B) to establish a nationwide hotline for survivors, family members, or other community members affected by the Indian Boarding School Policies; and (C) to prevent the continued removal of American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children from their families and Native communities under modern-day assimilation practices carried out by State social service departments, foster care agencies, and adoption services. SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS. In this Act: (1) Advisory committee.--The term ``Advisory Committee'' means the Truth and Healing Advisory Committee established by the Commission under section 5(g).
