(Cerebral cavernous malformation is a condition in which blood vessels in the brain and spinal cord become enlarged, which can lead to seizures, paralysis, hearing or vision loss, and bleeding in the brain.)<br /><br />The NIH must (1) award grants for medical, clinical, and pharmacological research; (2) award grants to support a network of clinical research centers intended to develop a cure for the condition; and (3) convene a Cerebral Cavernous Malformations Research Consortium to develop programs for clinicians, scientists, and patients.<br /><br />The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must award grants to research entities for collecting and reporting data about cerebral cavernous malformation.<br /><br />The Food and Drug Administration must accelerate the clinical trial process for cerebral cavernous malformation by supporting (1) appropriate laboratory indicators of the condition, (2) the qualification of clinical outcome measures related to quality of life, (3) investigational drug applications, and (4) expedited peer-review pathways. </p>
<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 543 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 543 To increase research, education, and treatment for cerebral cavernous malformations. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES February 28, 2023 Mr. Lujan (for himself and Mr. Heinrich) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To increase research, education, and treatment for cerebral cavernous malformations. 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 ``Cerebral Cavernous Malformations Clinical Awareness, Research, and Education Act of 2023'' or the ``CCM- CARE Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds as follows: (1) Cerebral cavernous malformations (referred to in this section as ``CCM''), also known as cavernous angioma, or cavernoma, is a devastating blood vessel disease characterized by vascular lesions that develop and grow within the brain and spinal cord. (2) Detection of CCM lesions is achieved through costly and specialized medical imaging techniques, often not accessible or convenient to patients who need them. (3) While CCM is a common type of vascular anomaly, many individuals are not aware they have the disease until the onset of serious clinical symptoms. CCM is often inherited unknowingly. (4) CCM affects an estimated 600,000 people in the United States, although fewer than 200,000 are accurately diagnosed. (5) Individuals diagnosed with CCM may experience neurological deficits, seizure, stroke, or sudden death. (6) Due to limited research, there is currently no treatment for CCM other than brain and spinal surgery, and only for certain patients. (7) There is also a shortage of trained physicians to provide skilled and timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment for CCM. (8) While the hereditary form of CCM may occur among any ethnicity, the presence of a mutation called the ``common Hispanic mutation'', has passed through 14 or more generations of American descendants from the original Spanish settlers of the Southwest in the 1590s. New Mexico has the highest population density of CCM in the world; Texas, Arizona, and Colorado also have high rates of CCM due to the common Hispanic mutation. (9) A second mutation (CCM2 Common Deletion) originating in the Southeastern United States before 1800 has increased rates of the illness in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Kansas, and northern California.

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 545 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 545 To protect the rights of passengers with disabilities in air transportation, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES February 28, 2023 Ms. Baldwin (for herself, Ms. Duckworth, Mr. Markey, Mr. Casey, Ms. Hassan, and Mr. Blumenthal) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To protect the rights of passengers with disabilities in air transportation, 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 ``Air Carrier Access Amendments Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS. (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following: (1) In 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed the Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-435; 100 Stat. 1080), adding a provision now codified in section 41705 of title 49, United States Code (in this section referred to as the ``ACAA''), prohibiting disability-based discrimination in air transportation. (2) Despite the effort, individuals, including veterans, with disabilities continue to experience significant barriers to and with traveling by air, such as-- (A) damaged assistive devices; (B) inaccessible aircraft, lavatories, and communication media; (C) delayed assistance; (D) inappropriate treatment of service animals; (E) inadequate disability awareness and sensitivity training; and (F) a lack of suitable seating accommodations. (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) access for individuals with disabilities in air transportation must move into the 21st century, or individuals with disabilities will be left behind and unable to compete in today's job market or enjoy the opportunities available to other citizens of the United States; (2) aircraft must accommodate individuals with disabilities, and air carriers and foreign air carriers must acquire and maintain aircraft that meet broad accessibility standards; (3) the ACAA must be updated to improve access to air transportation for individuals with disabilities; (4) legislation is necessary to modernize standards and requirements that will strengthen accessibility in air transportation; (5) the Department of Transportation, in direct consultation with the Access Board, must promulgate regulations to ensure that all passengers with disabilities receive-- (A) prompt and effective boarding, deplaning, and connections between flights; (B) accommodations, including nonstandard accommodations, that safely facilitate air travel; and (C) better access to airport facilities, including the provision of visually and tactilely accessible announcements and full and equal access to aural communications; (6) legislation is necessary to ensure that individuals with disabilities have adequate remedies available when air carriers and foreign air carriers violate the ACAA; and (7) unlike other civil rights statutes, the ACAA does not contain a private right of action, which is critical to the enforcement of such statutes, and Congress must correct this anomaly. SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS. In this Act: (1) Access board.--The term ``Access Board'' means the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board. (2) Air carrier.--The term ``air carrier'' has the meaning given that term in section 40102 of title 49, United States Code. (3) Disability.--The term ``disability'' means, with respect to an individual-- (A) a physical or mental impairment that, on a permanent or temporary basis, substantially limits one or more major life activities of such individual; (B) a record of such an impairment; or (C) being regarded as having such an impairment. (4) Foreign air carrier.--The term ``foreign air carrier'' has the meaning given that term in section 40102 of title 49, United States Code. (5) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary of Transportation. SEC. 4. IMPROVING ACCESS TO AIR TRANSPORTATION FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES. (a) In General.--Section 41705 of title 49, United States Code, is amended to read as follows: ``Sec. 41705.

<p><strong>First Rhode Island Regiment Congressional Gold Medal Act</strong></p> <p>This bill provides for the award of a single Congressional Gold Medal to the First Rhode Island Regiment, collectively, in recognition of their dedicated service during the Revolutionary War.</p>
<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 547 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 547 To award a Congressional Gold Medal, collectively, to the First Rhode Island Regiment, in recognition of their dedicated service during the Revolutionary War. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES February 28, 2023 Mr. Whitehouse (for himself, Mr. Cassidy, Mr. Reed, Mr. Graham, Mr. Bennet, Mr. Cramer, Mr. Blumenthal, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Casey, Ms. Duckworth, Ms. Hassan, Mr. Markey, Mr. Murphy, Ms. Warren, and Mr. Warner) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To award a Congressional Gold Medal, collectively, to the First Rhode Island Regiment, in recognition of their dedicated service during the Revolutionary War. 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 ``First Rhode Island Regiment Congressional Gold Medal Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) During the winter at Valley Forge, from 1777-1778, the Continental Army had difficulty recruiting the necessary quotas of men set by the Congress. (2) At the same time, the State of Rhode Island was ordered to supply two battalions while faced with the occupation of the City of Newport by the British. (3) In January 1778, at the urging of Brigadier General James Varnum, General George Washington wrote to Governor Nicholas Cooke of the State of Rhode Island requesting assistance recruiting men for the Continental Line. (4) On February 14, 1778, the Rhode Island General Assembly voted to allow the enlistment of ``every able-bodied negro, mulatto, or Indian man slave''. (5) In addition, the Rhode Island General Assembly provided that any enlisted slave ``upon his passing muster before Colonel Christopher Greene, be immediately discharged from the service of his master or mistress, and be absolutely free as though he had never been incumbered and be incumbered with any kind of servitude or slavery''. (6) As a result, between February 1778 and June 1778, Colonel Christopher Greene, Lt. Colonel Jeremiah Olney and Major Samuel Ward recruited almost 200 men of African heritage and Indigenous descent who formed the core of the First Rhode Island Regiment. (7) The First Rhode Island Regiment became among the first units in American History in which men of every race and ethnicity were recruited to serve. (8) On August 28, 1778, at the Battle of Rhode Island, following an attempted siege of British-occupied Newport along with the newly allied French fleet, the First Rhode Island Regiment acted heroically in holding back Hessian forces and causing them to retreat. (9) During the Battle of Rhode Island, the First Rhode Island Regiment's losses included three killed, nine wounded and eleven missing soldiers. (10) Soldiers of color from the First Rhode Island Regiment continued to fight bravely to win American independence for 5 more years in an integrated Rhode Island Regiment that included men of African, European, and Indigenous descent. (11) On December 25, 1783, the last Rhode Island soldiers were discharged at Saratoga, New York. (12) Their commander, Colonel Jeremiah Olney, praised the Regiment for ``faithfully preserving in the best of causes, in every stage of service, with unexampled fortitude and patience through all the danger and toils of a long and severe war''. (13) Afterwards, some veterans of the First Rhode Island Regiment had to consistently resist efforts at re-enslavement and fought for back wages from the Rhode Island General Assembly. (14) According to the Rhode Island State Archives, the First Rhode Island Regiment included at least the following soldiers: Babcock, Priamus (Primus); Bent, Prince; Bours, Cato; Brown, Priamus (Primus); Burk, Africa; Burroughs, John; Carpenter, Cudgo; Champlin, Dick; Champlin, Jack; Champlin, July; Champlin, Newport; Champlin, Sharper; Champlin, York; Clark, James; Coddington, Jack; Fones, Jack; Gardner, Cuff; Gardner, Hercules; Gardner, Minkl; Gardner, Preamus (Primus); Gardner, Rutter; Gray, Ebenezer; Green, Cuff; Greene, Cato; Greene, Jack; Greene, Pero; Greene, William; Hammond, Prince; Harriss, Cesar; Hazard, Backus; Hazard, Jabin; Hazard, Jacob; Hazard, Peter; Hazard, Peter; Lefavour, Thom; Mason, Warsen; Mawney, Cyrus; Minturn, Jack; Mowrey, Pero; Nichols, Thomas; Perry, Ganset; Phillips, Philow; Pierce, Titus; Potter, David; Randall, Prince; Rhodes, Bristol; Rhodes, Priamus; Rhodes, Richard; Rhodes, Samuel; Richmond, Ebenezer; Robinson, Mingo; Rodman, Isaac; Rodman, Mingo; Rodman, Prince; Rose, Cesar; Saltonstall, Brittain; Saunders, Sampson; Sheldon, Cesar; Slave; Slave; Smith, Juba; Sweeling, Query; Talbot, Sigby; Tanner, Quam; Tillinghast, Cuff; Updike, Cesar; Updike, Moses; Vaughan, Prince; Vernon, Cato; Watson, Fortune; Wells, Cesar; Wickes, Nat; and Willbour, Boston. SEC. 3. CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL. (a) Award Authorized.--The Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate shall make appropriate arrangements for the award, on behalf of the Congress, of a single gold medal of appropriate design to the First Rhode Island Regiment, collectively in recognition of their dedicated service during the Revolutionary 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 the gold medal with suitable emblems, devices, and inscriptions, to be determined by the Secretary. (c) Rhode Island State Library.-- (1) In general.--Following the award of the gold medal in honor of the First Rhode Island Regiment of the Revolutionary War under subsection (a), the gold medal shall be given to the Rhode Island State Library, where it will be displayed as appropriate and made available for research. (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the Rhode Island State Library should make the gold medal received under paragraph (1) available for display elsewhere, particularly at other appropriate locations associated with the First Rhode Island Regiment of the Revolutionary War. SEC. 4. DUPLICATE MEDALS. The Secretary may strike and sell duplicates in bronze of the gold medal struck under section 3, at a price sufficient to cover the costs of the medals, including labor, materials, dies, use of machinery, and overhead expenses. SEC. 5. STATUS OF MEDALS. (a) National Medals.--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 sections 5134 and 5136 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 costs of the medals struck under this Act. (b) Proceeds of Sale.--Amounts received from the sale of duplicate bronze medals authorized under section 4 shall be deposited into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 549 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 549 To require enforcement against misbranded milk alternatives. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES February 28, 2023 Ms. Baldwin (for herself, Mr. Risch, Ms. Collins, Mr. Welch, Mr. King, Ms. Stabenow, Mr. Crapo, Mr. Marshall, Ms. Smith, Mr. Lujan, and Mr. Rounds) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To require enforcement against misbranded milk alternatives. 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 ``Defending Against Imitations and Replacements of Yogurt, Milk, and Cheese To Promote Regular Intake of Dairy Everyday Act'' or the ``DAIRY PRIDE Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds as follows: (1) Dairy products are an important part of a healthy diet for both children and adults, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025 (referred to in this section as the ``Dietary Guidelines'') published by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services. The Dietary Guidelines state that most Americans are not meeting recommended intake for the dairy food group. (2) Consumption of dairy foods provides numerous health benefits, including lowering the risk of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. (3) The Dietary Guidelines state that dairy foods are sources of critical nutrients for human health, including vitamin D, calcium, and potassium, all of which are under consumed by people of the United States. Even though average consumption falls short of amounts recommended by the Food Patterns of the Department of Agriculture, on average across the calorie levels dairy foods still contribute about 68 percent of calcium, 76 percent of vitamin D, and 31 percent of magnesium. (4) Beginning at age 9 and persisting throughout every subsequent life-stage, individuals in the United States on average fail to meet the recommended amount of dairy intake for their age group, according to the Dietary Guidelines. The Dietary Guidelines note the gap between recommended and current intake of dairy widens throughout life stages and find the age- related decreasing intake of dairy for youth ages 2 through 18 to be ``notable and concerning''. Overall, approximately 90 percent of the entire population of the United States does not meet the daily dairy intake recommendation. (5) The Dietary Guidelines state that the nutrient composition of dairy foods highlights the importance of adequate consumption, finding this to be especially relevant for the intake of calcium and vitamin D throughout an individual's life. The Dietary Guidelines note that calcium and vitamin D are important at any age, that adolescents have an increased need for these nutrients to support accrual of bone mass, and that adults should give particular attention to consuming adequate amounts of foods with these nutrients to promote optimal bone health and prevent the onset of osteoporosis. Yet, close to 30 percent of men and 60 percent of women older than age 19 do not consume enough calcium, and more than 90 percent do not consume enough vitamin D. According to the Dietary Guidelines, dietary patterns that do not meet recommended consumption amounts for food groups and subgroups which include sources of calcium and vitamin D, such as dairy foods, contribute to low intake of these nutrients. (6) The Dietary Guidelines state that many products sold as ``milks'' but made from plants (e.g., almond, rice, coconut, oat, and hemp ``milks'') do not have an overall nutritional content similar to real milk and that most have significantly less protein than real milk and are not always fortified with calcium and vitamin D. The amount of calcium per calorie is lower for most plant-based alternative milk products. To obtain the amount of calcium contained in one cup of nonfat fluid milk from a plant-based milk alternative, the portion size and calorie intake must be greater. (7) Similarly, imitation dairy products, such as plant- based products derived from rice, nuts, hemp, coconut, algae, and other foods that imitate milk, yogurt, and cheese, often do not provide the same nutrition content as real cheese and yogurt derived from dairy cows. (8) Plant-based products labeled as milk are misleading to consumers. (9) The Food and Drug Administration has regulations that define milk and cream as the ``lacteal secretion, practically free from colostrum, obtained by the complete milking of one or more healthy cows'' (section 131.110 of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations). This definition further applies to milk used to create other dairy products, including yogurt and cheese, as specified in sections 131 and 133 of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations. (10) Given the proliferation of plant-based products in the marketplace that are mislabeled as milk despite the standard of identity defined for this substance, enforcement by the Food and Drug Administration against these practices should be improved to avoid misleading consumers. SEC. 3. PURPOSE. No food may be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce using a market name for a dairy product if the food does not meet the criterion set forth for dairy products under paragraph (z)(2) of section 403 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 343) (as added by section 4(a)). SEC. 4. ENFORCEMENT OF DEFINITION.

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 556 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 556 To prohibit the United States Armed Forces from promoting anti-American and racist theories. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES February 28, 2023 Mr. Cotton (for himself, Mr. Daines, Mrs. Blackburn, Mr. Lee, and Mr. Lankford) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Armed Services _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To prohibit the United States Armed Forces from promoting anti-American and racist theories. 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 Racist Training in the Military Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) The founding principles of the United States include the belief, enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, that ``all men are created equal'' and ``are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights''. (2) The United States commitment to the equal dignity and natural rights of all mankind is the strongest possible defense against racism and oppression of all kinds. (3) The mission of the United States Armed Forces is to ``support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic'' and ``bear true faith and allegiance to the same''. (4) To carry out this mission, the Armed Forces must train leaders who love the United States, its citizens, and the aforementioned founding principles. (5) Anti-American and racist theories, such as ``Critical Race Theory'', teach that the United States is a fundamentally racist Nation, that the Constitution is a fundamentally racist document, and that certain races are fundamentally oppressive or oppressed. (6) Such theories encourage people to judge and treat others differently on the basis of their race, rather than treating them as equal citizens and human beings with equal dignity and protection under the law.

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 557 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 557 To prohibit certain practices relating to certain commodity promotion programs, to require greater transparency by those programs, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES February 28, 2023 Mr. Lee (for himself, Mr. Booker, Mr. Paul, Ms. Warren, and Mrs. Gillibrand) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To prohibit certain practices relating to certain commodity promotion programs, to require greater transparency by those 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. This Act may be cited as the ``Opportunities for Fairness in Farming Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds that-- (1) the generic programs to promote and provide research and information for an agricultural commodity (commonly known as ``checkoff programs'') are intended to increase demand for all of that agricultural commodity and benefit all assessed producers of that agricultural commodity; (2) although the laws establishing checkoff programs broadly prohibit the use of funds in any manner for the purpose of influencing legislation or government action, checkoff programs have repeatedly been shown to use funds to influence policy directly or by partnering with organizations that lobby; (3) the unlawful use of checkoff programs funds benefits some agricultural producers while harming many others; (4) to more effectively prevent Boards from using funds for unlawful purposes, strict separation of engagement between the Boards and policy entities is necessary; (5) conflicts of interest in the checkoff programs allow special interests to use checkoff program funds for the benefit of some assessed agricultural producers at the expense of many others; (6) prohibiting conflicts of interest in checkoff programs is necessary to ensure the proper and lawful operation of the checkoff programs; (7) checkoff programs are designed to promote agricultural commodities, not to damage other types of agricultural commodities through anticompetitive conduct or otherwise; (8) prohibiting anticompetitive and similar conduct is necessary to ensure proper and lawful operation of checkoff programs; (9) lack of transparency in checkoff programs enables abuses to occur and conceals abuses from being discovered; and (10) requiring transparency in the expenditure of checkoff program funds is necessary to prevent and uncover abuses in checkoff programs. SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

<p><strong>Safeguarding Against Fraud, Exploitation, Threats, Extremism, and Consumer Harms Act or the SAFE TECH Act</strong></p> <p>This bill limits federal liability protection that applies to a user or provider of an interactive computer service (e.g., a social media company) for claims related to content provided by third parties.</p> <p>Specifically, the bill applies the liability protection to claims arising from third-party speech rather than third-party information. Additionally, the liability protection shall not apply if a user or provider (1) accepts payment to make the speech available, or (2) creates or funds (in whole or in part) the speech. </p> <p>The bill changes legal procedures concerning the liability protection by (1) requiring a defendant in a lawsuit to raise the liability protection as an affirmative defense, and (2) placing the burden of proving that the defense applies on the defendant.</p> <p>Some courts have held that the current liability protection bars claims for civil penalties and injunctive relief. The bill expressly excludes from the liability protection requests for injunctive relief arising from a provider's failure to remove, restrict access to, or prevent dissemination of material likely to cause irreparable harm. However, the bill protects a provider from liability for actions taken to comply with such injunctions.</p> <p>Under current law, the liability protection does not apply to federal criminal law, intellectual property law, and other designated areas of law. The bill further specifies that the liability protection shall not apply to civil rights law; antitrust law; stalking, harassment, or intimidation laws; international human rights law; and civil actions for wrongful death.</p>

<p>This bill authorizes the Department of the Interior to take land into trust for all federally recognized Indian tribes.</p> <p>Specifically, the bill applies the Indian Reorganization Act to all federally recognized Indian tribes, regardless of when a tribe became recognized. The amendments made by this bill are retroactively effective as if included in the Indian Reorganization Act. This effectively overrules the Supreme Court's decision in <i>Carcieri v. Salazar, </i>which held that Interior could not take land into trust for a specified tribe because that tribe had not been under federal jurisdiction when the Indian Reorganization Act was enacted in 1934.</p>

<p><strong><b>Richard L. Trumka</b> Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 20</strong><b>23</b></p> <p>This bill expands various labor protections related to employees' rights to organize and collectively bargain in the workplace.</p> <p>Specifically, it revises the definitions of <i>employee</i>, <i>supervisor</i>, and<i> employer</i> to broaden the scope of individuals covered by the fair labor standards; permits labor organizations to encourage participation of union members in strikes initiated by employees represented by a different labor organization (i.e., secondary strikes); and prohibits employers from bringing claims against unions that conduct such secondary strikes.</p> <p>The bill also allows collective bargaining agreements to require all employees represented by the bargaining unit to contribute fees to the labor organization for the cost of such representation, notwithstanding a state law to the contrary, and it expands unfair labor practices to include prohibitions against replacement of, or discrimination against, workers who participate in strikes.</p> <p>The bill makes it an unfair labor practice to require or coerce employees to attend employer meetings designed to discourage union membership and prohibits employers from entering into agreements with employees under which employees waive the right to pursue or a join collective or class-action litigation.</p> <p>Finally, the bill addresses the procedures for union representation elections, modifies the protections against unfair labor practices that result in serious economic harm, and establishes penalties and permits injunctive relief against entities that fail to comply with National Labor Relations Board orders.</p> <p>

<p><b>9/11 Responder and Survivor Health Funding Correction Act of 2023</b></p> <p>This bill modifies the funding of, expands eligibility for, and makes other changes to the World Trade Center Health Program. This program provides medical monitoring and treatment to responders and survivors who suffer from health conditions related to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.</p> <p>Specifically, the bill provides additional funding for the program through FY2033 to cover program costs. It also sets out a new formula to determine funding amounts for the program from FY2034 through FY2090.</p> <p>Additionally, the bill expands eligibility for the program to include members of the Armed Forces and federal employees and contractors who provided rescue, recovery, demolition, debris clean-up, or related services in response to the attacks at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, PA on September 11, 2001. The bill limits the enrollment of newly eligible individuals in the program to 500 at any given time.</p> <p>Other changes in the bill include (1) allowing certain health care providers other than physicians to determine whether an individual's health condition is related to an attack, and (2) making the program administrator (rather than the centers that collect and analyze health data generated from the program) responsible for establishing criteria for credentialing health care providers that participate in the program.</p>

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 584 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 584 To reauthorize the North Korean Human Rights Act of 2004, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 1, 2023 Mr. Rubio (for himself and Mr. Kaine) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To reauthorize the North Korean Human Rights Act of 2004, 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 ``North Korean Human Rights Reauthorization Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) The North Korean Human Rights Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-333; 22 U.S.C. 7801 et seq.) and subsequent reauthorizations of such Act were the product of broad, bipartisan consensus regarding the promotion of human rights, documentation of human rights violations, transparency in the delivery of humanitarian assistance, and the importance of refugee protection. (2) The human rights and humanitarian conditions within North Korea remain deplorable and have been intentionally perpetuated against the people of North Korea through policies endorsed and implemented by Kim Jong-un and the Workers' Party of Korea. (3) According to a 2014 report released by the United Nations Human Rights Council's Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, between 80,000 and 120,000 children, women, and men were being held in political prison camps in North Korea, where they were subjected to deliberate starvation, forced labor, executions, torture, rape, forced abortion, and infanticide. (4) North Korea continues to hold a number of South Koreans and Japanese abducted after the signing of the Agreement Concerning a Military Armistice in Korea, signed at Panmunjom July 27, 1953 (commonly referred to as the ``Korean War Armistice Agreement''), and refuses to acknowledge the abduction of more than 100,000 South Koreans during the Korean War in violation of the Geneva Convention. (5) Human rights violations in North Korea, which include forced starvation, sexual violence against women and children, restrictions on freedom of movement, arbitrary detention, torture, executions, and enforced disappearances, amount to crimes against humanity according to the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. (6) The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and North Korea's strict lockdown of its borders and crackdowns on informal market activities and small entrepreneurship have drastically increased food insecurity for its people and given rise to famine conditions in parts of the country. (7) North Korea's COVID-19 border lockdown measures also include shoot-to-kill orders that have resulted in the killing of-- (A) North Koreans attempting to cross the border; and (B) at least 1 South Korean citizen in September 2020. (8) The Chinese Communist Party and the Government of the People's Republic of China are aiding and abetting in crimes against humanity by forcibly repatriating North Korean refugees to North Korea where they are sent to prison camps, harshly interrogated, and tortured or executed. (9) The forcible repatriation of North Korean refugees violates the People's Republic of China's freely undertaken obligation to uphold the principle of non-refoulement, under the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, done at Geneva July 28, 1951 (and made applicable by the Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, done at New York January 31, 1967 (19 UST 6223)). (10) North Korea continues to bar freedom of religion and persecute religious minorities, especially Christians. Eyewitnesses report that Christians in North Korea have been tortured, forcibly detained, and even executed for possessing a Bible or professing Christianity. (11) United States and international broadcasting operations into North Korea-- (A) serve as a critical source of outside news and information for the North Korean people; and (B) provide a valuable service for countering regime propaganda and false narratives. (12) The position of Special Envoy on North Korean Human Rights Issues has been vacant since January 2017, even though the President is required to appoint a Senate-confirmed Special Envoy to fill this position in accordance with section 107 of the North Korean Human Rights Act of 2004 (22 U.S.C. 7817). SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS. It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) promoting information access in North Korea continues to be a successful method of countering North Korean propaganda; (2) the United States Government should continue to support efforts described in paragraph (1), including by enacting and implementing the Otto Warmbier North Korean Censorship and Surveillance Act of 2021, which was introduced by Senator Portman on June 17, 2021; (3) because refugees among North Koreans fleeing into China face severe punishments upon their forcible return, the United States should urge the Government of the People's Republic of China-- (A) to immediately halt its forcible repatriation of North Koreans; (B) to allow the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (referred to in this section as ``UNHCR'') unimpeded access to North Koreans within China to determine whether they are refugees and require assistance; (C) to fulfill its obligations under the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, done at Geneva July 28, 1951 (and made applicable by the Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, done at New York January 31, 1967 (19 UST 6223)) and the Agreement on the upgrading of the UNHCR Mission in the People's Republic of China to UNHCR branch office in the People's Republic of China, done at Geneva December 1, 1995; (D) to address the concerns of the United Nations Committee Against Torture by incorporating into domestic legislation the principle of non-refoulement; and (E) to recognize the legal status of North Korean women who marry or have children with Chinese citizens and ensure that all such mothers and children are granted resident status and access to education and other public services in accordance with Chinese law and international standards; (4) the United States Government should continue to promote the effective and transparent delivery and distribution of any humanitarian aid provided in North Korea to ensure that such aid reaches its intended recipients to the point of consumption or utilization by cooperating closely with the Government of the Republic of Korea and international and nongovernmental organizations; (5) the Department of State should continue to take steps to increase public awareness about the risks and dangers of travel by United States citizens to North Korea, including by continuing its policy of blocking United States passports from being used to travel to North Korea without a special validation from the Department of State; (6) the United Nations, which has a significant role to play in promoting and improving human rights in North Korea, should press for access for the United Nations Special Rapporteur and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on the situation of human rights in North Korea; (7) the Special Envoy for North Korean Human Rights Issues should be appointed without delay-- (A) to properly promote and coordinate North Korean human rights and humanitarian issues; and (B) to participate in policy planning and implementation with respect to refugee issues; (8) the United States should urge North Korea to repeal the Reactionary Thought and Culture Denunciation Law and other draconian laws, regulations, and decrees that manifestly violate the freedom of opinion and expression and the freedom of thought, conscience, and religion; (9) the United States should urge North Korea to ensure that any restrictions on addressing the COVID-19 pandemic are necessary, proportionate, nondiscriminatory, time-bound, transparent, and allow international staff to operate inside the North Korea to provide international assistance based on independent needs assessments; (10) the United States should expand the Rewards for Justice program to be open to North Korean officials who can provide evidence of crimes against humanity being committed by North Korean officials; (11) the United States should continue to seek cooperation from all foreign governments-- (A) to allow the UNHCR access to process North Korean refugees overseas for resettlement; and (B) to allow United States officials access to process refugees for possible resettlement in the United States; and (12) the Secretary of State, through diplomacy by senior officials, including United States ambassadors to Asia-Pacific countries, and in close cooperation with South Korea, should make every effort to promote the protection of North Korean refugees, escapees, and defectors. SEC. 4. REAUTHORIZATIONS.

SEC. 6. SPECIAL ENVOY FOR NORTH KOREAN HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUES.

SEC. 7. SUPPORT FOR NORTH KOREAN REFUGEES.

SEC. 9. REPORT ON HUMANITARIAN EXEMPTIONS TO SANCTIONS IMPOSED WITH RESPECT TO NORTH KOREA.

(3) Transparent international forensic investigation.--The term ``transparent international forensic investigation'', with respect to investigating the origin of SARS-CoV-2, means an inquiry that is objective, data-driven, inclusive of broad expertise, subject to independent oversight, and properly managed to exclude individuals with conflicts of interest and under which the following takes place: (A) Relevant research funding agencies, funding contractors, laboratories, and hospitals open their records to examination by the investigative team and grant the investigative team unfettered access to any and all facilities, personnel, and other sites of interest, and to any and all forms of epidemiological or virological data of interest, including serological records pertaining to the earliest confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19, or cases of similar illnesses that may have been misdiagnosed, which appeared in and around Wuhan in the fall and winter of 2019. Investigators document the veracity and source of the data upon which their analysis is based in a manner that allows independent experts to reproduce their analysis and validate any conclusions they may draw. (B) The international team is allowed to perform a full forensic investigation of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Wuhan Center for Disease Prevention and Control, and the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, and all other laboratories in Wuhan that the team might identify as warranting examination. The team is allowed to review the biosafety level under which bat coronavirus research was conducted, and to interview any and all personnel currently or previously employed at those laboratories, or related experts who may have information pertinent to the investigation. All laboratory logs and notebooks kept by Shi Zhengli and other researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology who have conducted gain-of-function experiments between 2007 and the date of the enactment of this Act, as well as their published and unpublished work in Chinese and English, are presented in a full and unaltered condition for examination by the team. The team is given unlimited access to the full range of virus cultures, isolates, genetic sequences, databases, and patient specimens stored at these facilities as well as all chimeric synthetic viruses grown in vitro by cell culture passaging or engineered by genomic editing between 2007 and the date of the enactment of this Act. Such access must include the opportunity to examine the Wuhan Institute of Virology's database of approximately 22,000 samples and virus sequences, including 15,000 taken from bats, which was previously available to the public but taken offline in September 2019. The team is further allowed to examine in full all training procedures in effect at the laboratory prior to the pandemic, including those pertaining to record-keeping and safety procedures and strategies to prevent the accidental escape of potential pathogens. (C) The investigative team analyzes in detail all research related to the 293 bat coronaviruses reportedly identified by Shi Zhengli and her team at the Wuhan Institute of Virology between 2012 and 2015, particularly RaTG13, RaBtCoV/4991, and all other viruses from the abandoned copper mine in Mojiang Hani Autonomous County in Yunnan province, where Wuhan Institute of Virology researchers are known to have collected bat virus specimens, including specimens of RaTG13, during the decade preceding the date of the enactment of this Act, including all virus isolates and cultures. The Wuhan Institute of Virology discloses the content of all classified and unpublished studies that the Institute reportedly conducted with the People's Liberation Army if such studies involved gain-of- function research. The team is able to test all laboratory personnel for antibodies and other serological indicators of past infection of COVID-19. The team is given access to all other records kept by the Wuhan Institute of Virology, including security logs, surveillance video footage, audio recordings, and electronic logs of employees entering and leaving the facility. The investigative team is permitted to take samples and conduct testing of the physical facilities where gain-of-function research has been conducted, including, if necessary, sewer samples. Unfettered access is also granted to the copper mine in Mojiang Hani Autonomous County in Yunnan province referred to in the first sentence of this subparagraph. (D) The international team is comprised of members chosen by the governments of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, Japan, and India. The team includes molecular biologists, virologists, epidemiologists, and experts in biosafety and biosecurity. Individuals who have previously ruled out the possibility of either zoonotic transmission or a laboratory leak are disqualified from participation. The Government of the People's Republic of China may appoint Chinese experts to accompany and advise the team as it conducts its work in the People's Republic of China, but the Government of the People's Republic of China has no authority to dictate the selection of team members and cannot obstruct the participation of any individual selected by the individual's government for the team. The central, provincial, and municipal authorities of the People's Republic of China facilitate the work of the investigative team and refrain from imposing any restrictions on the scope, scale, and duration of the investigation. (4) United states person.--The term ``United States person'' means-- (A) an individual who is a United States citizen or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence to the United States; (B) an entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States, including a foreign branch of such an entity; or (C) any person in the United States. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

<p><b>Chance to Compete Act of 2023</b></p> <p>This bill modifies examination requirements and other components of the federal hiring process for positions in the competitive service.</p> <p>Specifically, the bill provides that a qualifying examination includes a r&eacute;sum&eacute; review that is conducted by a subject matter expert. Additionally, beginning two years after the bill's enactment, the bill prohibits examinations from consisting solely of a self-assessment from an automated examination, a r&eacute;sum&eacute; review that is not conducted by a subject matter expert, or any other method of assessing an applicant's experience or education.</p> <p>Agencies may use subject matter experts to develop position-specific technical assessments that allow applicants to demonstrate job-related skills, abilities, and knowledge; assessments may include structured interviews, work-related exercises, procedures to measure career-related qualifications and interests, or other similar assessments. The bill also allows agencies to establish talent teams to support and improve hiring practices.</p> <p>The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) must create online platforms through which agencies may share and customize technical assessments and share the r&eacute;sum&eacute;s of qualifying applicants. The OPM must also create online platforms with information about the types of assessments used and hiring outcomes.</p>

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 598 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 598 To repeal certain impediments to the administration of the firearms laws. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 1, 2023 Mr. Menendez (for himself, Mr. Markey, Mr. Blumenthal, Mr. Reed, Mrs. Gillibrand, Mr. Booker, Mr. Whitehouse, Mrs. Feinstein, Mr. Durbin, Ms. Warren, Ms. Hirono, Mr. Murphy, and Ms. Duckworth) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To repeal certain impediments to the administration of the firearms laws. 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 ``Gun Records Restoration and Preservation Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds as follows: (1) The Tiahrt Amendments prevent the collection of valuable information, and the establishment of effective policies to prevent illegal guns from being used in crimes. (2) The Tiahrt Amendments impede enforcement of the gun laws by requiring most background check records to be destroyed within 24 hours, and by barring the Federal Government from requiring annual inventory audits by owners of gun shops. (3) A 2012 study by researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that the Tiahrt Amendments dramatically increase gun trafficking to the criminal market. (4) A 2016 study from the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health found that in 2008, 79 percent of all guns recovered by police from crime scenes belonged to someone other than the perpetrator--30 percent had been stolen. (5) A 2020 analysis from the RAND corporation concluded that the Tiahrt Amendments limit researchers' access to data that provide important insights, such as-- (A) how guns flow from States with less restrictive gun laws to States with more restrictive gun laws; (B) how prohibited purchasers obtain their firearms; (C) the characteristics of straw purchases; and (D) whether more restrictive gun laws create a shortage of firearms for prohibited purchases. (6) Every year, more than 165,000 people are shot in the United States. (7) 2020 was one of the deadliest years on record for the United States, with an estimated 21,000 people killed in firearm homicides or non-suicide related shootings, which is a 33-percent increase over 2019. (8) In 2020, 62 percent of firearm homicide victims were Black and 15 percent of firearm homicide victims were Hispanic. (9) In 2020, the National Tracing Center at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives processed 490,800 trace requests on firearms from Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies. (10) Having effective policies to prevent illegal gun trafficking makes our families and communities safer. (11) Repealing the Tiahrt Amendments would support law enforcement efforts and give the public vital information needed to craft the most effective policies against illegal guns. SEC. 3. REPEAL OF CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON THE USE OF DATABASE INFORMATION OF THE BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES. (a) The matter under the heading ``Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives--Salaries and Expenses'' in title II of division B of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012 (18 U.S.C. 923 note; Public Law 112-55; 125 Stat. 609-610) is amended by striking the sixth proviso.

(e) The sixth proviso under the heading ``Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives--Salaries and Expenses'' in title I of the Science, State, Justice, Commerce, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 (18 U.S.C. 923 note; Public Law 109-108; 119 Stat. 2295-2296) is amended by striking ``with respect to any fiscal year''. (f) The sixth proviso under the heading ``Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives--Salaries and Expenses'' in title I of division B of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005 (18 U.S.C. 923 note; Public Law 108-447; 118 Stat. 2859-2860) is amended by striking ``with respect to any fiscal year''.

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 606 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 606 To require the Food and Drug Administration to revoke the approval of one opioid pain medication for each new opioid pain medication approved. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 1, 2023 Mr. Manchin (for himself and Mr. Braun) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To require the Food and Drug Administration to revoke the approval of one opioid pain medication for each new opioid pain medication approved. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Protecting Americans from Dangerous Opioids Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds as follows: (1) Drug overdoses killed more than 107,000 people in the United States in 2021. Nearly two-thirds of all drug overdose deaths involved a prescription opioid or synthetic opioid. (2) According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 80 percent of new heroin users abused prescription opioids before moving to heroin. (3) The United States makes up only 4.25 percent of the world's population, but consumes 80 percent of its opioid pain medications. (4) In 2020, health care providers in the United States wrote nearly 143,000,000 prescriptions for painkillers, which is 43 prescriptions per 100 people. (5) The amount of prescription opioids sold in the United States has increased without a reported increase in pain. At the same time, overdose deaths involving opioids have quadrupled since 1999, with more than 932,000 people having died from a drug overdose. (6) Although overdose death rates are beginning to see a slow decline, over 106,000 people are predicted to have died of drug overdose in 2022. SEC. 3. REQUIREMENT TO REVOKE APPROVAL. (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the Secretary of Health and Human Services (referred to in this section as the ``Secretary'') approves an application under subsection (b) or (j) of section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355) for an opioid drug, the Secretary shall revoke the approval of another opioid drug previously approved under subsection (c) or (j) of such section 505. (b) Considerations.--In determining the drug for which the Secretary will revoke approval pursuant to subsection (a), the Secretary shall-- (1) prioritize revocation of non-abuse deterrent formulations of opioid drugs; and (2) consider the public health impact of the opioid drug being on the market. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 609 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 609 To establish a pilot program awarding competitive grants to organizations administering entrepreneurial development programming to formerly incarcerated individuals, and other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 1, 2023 Mr. Cardin introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To establish a pilot program awarding competitive grants to organizations administering entrepreneurial development programming to formerly incarcerated individuals, and other purposes.

This Act may be cited as the ``Necessary Entrepreneurship Workshops via the SBA to Transform and Assist Re-entry Training Act of 2023'' or the ``NEW START Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds that-- (1) according to the Department of Justice, every year, over 600,000 individuals are released from prison and return home to their communities, and almost 77 percent of those individuals will reoffend within 5 years; (2) according to the Brookings Institution, an estimated 48.5 percent of formerly incarcerated individuals will remain unemployed or earn a negligible income for a period of 1 year post-incarceration, increasing the risk for recidivism; (3) according to the Florida State University Institute for Justice Research and Development, formerly incarcerated individuals see a reduction in earnings of 25 percent since criminal records make it difficult to find stable employment; (4) self-employment can provide economic stability for those who are otherwise locked out of the labor market; and (5) according to a paper entitled ``Entrepreneurship as a Response to Labor Market Discrimination for Formerly Incarcerated People''-- (A) the average individual without a criminal record has a 7.09 percent likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur, but justice-impacted individuals were found to be more than 50 percent likely to choose entrepreneurship with a 12.69 percent likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur; (B) entrepreneurship reduces the likelihood of recidivism by 5.3 percent, which was a 32.5 percent decrease from average recidivism rates for regular employees who have been previously incarcerated; and (C) formerly incarcerated individuals who choose entrepreneurship make $2,700 more annually than formerly incarcerated employees and that the income gap between formerly incarcerated entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs with no criminal record was 38 percent lower than the income gap between formerly incarcerated employees and employees with no criminal record.

<p><b>No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2023</b></p> <p>This bill modifies provisions relating to federal funding for, and health insurance coverage of, abortions.</p> <p>Specifically, the bill prohibits the use of federal funds for abortions or for health coverage that includes abortions. Such restrictions extend to the use of funds in the budget of the District of Columbia. Additionally, abortions may not be provided in a federal health care facility or by a federal employee. </p> <p>Historically, language has been included in annual appropriations bills for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that prohibits the use of federal funds for abortions&#8212;such language is commonly referred to as the Hyde Amendment. Similar language is also frequently included in appropriations bills for other federal agencies and the District of Columbia. The bill makes these restrictions permanent and extends the restrictions to all federal funds (rather than specific agencies). </p> <p>The bill's restrictions regarding the use of federal funds do not apply in cases of rape, incest, or where a physical disorder, injury, or illness endangers a woman's life unless an abortion is performed. The Hyde Amendment provides the same exceptions.</p> <p>The bill also prohibits qualified health plans from including coverage for abortions. Currently, qualified health plans may cover abortion, but the portion of the premium attributable to abortion coverage is not eligible for subsidies.</p>

It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) the United States should pursue more open trade and investment relationships with its allies to strengthen the economy of the United States, improve the standard of living of the people of the United States, and advance the strategic interests of the United States; (2) agreements to reduce or eliminate barriers to trade and investment between the United States and its allies will foster mutually beneficial economic relationships that advance the economic interests of workers, farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all sizes in the United States; (3) the shared values and long history of the ``special relationship'' between the United States and the United Kingdom present a unique opportunity to deepen the mutually beneficial economic and strategic relationship between those countries and further expand prosperity for the citizens of those countries; (4) a high-standard, comprehensive trade agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom would help strengthen that relationship, improve the economic prospects of people in both countries, increase the resilience of critical supply chains, and create export opportunities for businesses of all sizes; (5) the efforts of the United States-United Kingdom Trade and Investment Working Group and the bilateral negotiations initiated by President Donald Trump have laid groundwork toward a comprehensive trade agreement; (6) the United States-United Kingdom Dialogue on the Future of Atlantic Trade initiated by President Joe Biden continues longstanding efforts to improve economic cooperation between the United States and the United Kingdom; (7) the robust labor and environmental protections in the United Kingdom reduce the risk of regulatory arbitrage that undercuts workers and businesses in the United States; (8) Congress passed the USMCA with overwhelming bipartisan support, setting high standards in North America with respect to labor rights, the environment, intellectual property, non- market practices, and services, and those standards should inform future negotiations; (9) trade agreements with foreign trading partners that share the values and ambition of the United States offer an opportunity to build on the USMCA and set high international standards across many important policy areas; (10) any trade negotiations between the United States and the United Kingdom must honor the agreement between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the United Kingdom signed on April 10, 1998 (commonly known as the ``Good Friday Agreement''), and any trade agreement between those countries must advance peace, stability, and prosperity in Ireland and Northern Ireland; (11) the United Kingdom, like many key trading partners of the United States, is actively negotiating for expanded access to foreign markets, including through both new bilateral agreements and existing regional agreements such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, and the United States must likewise seek to advance its access to foreign markets to ensure that businesses, consumers, farmers, ranchers, and workers in the United States are not left behind; and (12) to effectively pursue comprehensive trade negotiations with the United Kingdom for purposes of a trade agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom, Congress must grant new negotiating authority to the President, which should-- (A) enable the swift negotiation and passage through Congress of such an agreement; and (B) be narrowly tailored to provide clear direction to the executive branch of the United States Government. SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.
