<p><b>Preventing Child Sex Abuse Act of 2023</b></p> <p>This bill makes changes to the federal law prohibiting child sexual tourism. </p> <p>First, the bill revises the specific intent required for certain offenses involving interstate or foreign travel to engage in or facilitate illicit sexual conduct. Specifically, this bill requires the government to prove that an individual traveled (or facilitated travel) with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct (currently, with a motivating purpose of engaging in illicit sexual conduct). Further, it specifies that the term <i>intent</i> is to be construed as any intention to engage in illicit sexual conduct at the time of the travel. </p> <p>Second, the bill establishes new criminal offenses for acts in furtherance of illicit sexual conduct by an officer, director, employee, or agent of an organization through his or her connection to or affiliation with the organization. A violation is subject to a fine, a prison term of up to 30 years, or both. </p> <p>Finally, the bill specifies that the term <i>sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense</i> does not require interpersonal physical contact. </p>
<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 724 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 724 To protect children against sexual abuse and exploitation, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 8, 2023 Mr. Grassley (for himself, Mr. Ossoff, Mr. Young, and Mr. Warnock) introduced the following bill; which was read twice, considered, read the third time, and passed _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To protect children against sexual abuse and exploitation, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Preventing Child Sex Abuse Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS. The sense of Congress is the following: (1) The safety of children should be a top priority for public officials and communities in the United States. (2) According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, an individual in the United States is sexually assaulted every 68 seconds. And every 9 minutes, that victim is a child. Meanwhile, only 25 out of every 1,000 perpetrators will end up in prison. (3) The effects of child sexual abuse can be long-lasting and affect the victim's mental health. (4) Victims are more likely than non-victims to experience the following mental health challenges: (A) Victims are about 4 times more likely to develop symptoms of drug abuse. (B) Victims are about 4 times more likely to experience post-traumatic stress disorder as adults. (C) Victims are about 3 times more likely to experience a major depressive episode as adults. (5) The criminal justice system should and has acted as an important line of defense to protect children and hold perpetrators accountable. (6) However, the horrific crimes perpetuated by Larry Nassar demonstrate firsthand the loopholes that still exist in the criminal justice system. While Larry Nassar was found guilty of several State-level offenses, he was not charged federally for his illicit sexual contact with minors, despite crossing State and international borders to commit this conduct. (7) The Department of Justice has also identified a growing trend of Americans who use charitable or missionary work in a foreign country as a cover for sexual abuse of children. (8) It is the intent of Congress to prohibit Americans from engaging in sexual abuse or exploitation of minors under the guise of work, including volunteer work, with an organization that affects interstate or foreign commerce, such as an international charity. (9) Federal law does not require that an abuser's intention to engage in sexual abuse be a primary, significant, dominant, or motivating purpose of the travel. (10) Child sexual abuse does not require physical contact between the abuser and the child. This is especially true as perpetrators turn increasingly to internet platforms, online chat rooms, and webcams to commit child sexual abuse. (11) However, a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit found the use of a webcam to engage in sexually provocative activity with a minor did not qualify as ``sexual activity''. (12) Congress can address this issue by amending the definition of the term ``sexual activity'' to clarify that it does not require interpersonal, physical contact. (13) It is the duty of Congress to provide clearer guidance to ensure that those who commit crimes against children are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. SEC. 3. INTERSTATE CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE. Section 2423 of title 18, United States Code, is amended-- (1) in subsection (b), by striking ``with a motivating purpose of engaging in any illicit sexual conduct with another person'' and inserting ``with intent to engage in any illicit sexual conduct with another person''; (2) by redesignating subsections (d), (e), (f), and (g) as subsections (e), (f), (g), and (i), respectively; (3) in subsection (e), as so redesignated, by striking ``with a motivating purpose of engaging in any illicit sexual conduct'' and inserting ``with intent to engage in any illicit sexual conduct''; and (4) by inserting after subsection (g), as so redesignated, the following: ``(h) Rule of Construction.--As used in this section, the term `intent' shall be construed as any intention to engage in illicit sexual conduct at the time of the travel.''. SEC. 4. ABUSE UNDER THE GUISE OF CHARITY. Section 2423 of title 18, United States Code, as amended by section 3 of this Act, is amended-- (1) by inserting after subsection (c) the following: ``(d) Illicit Sexual Conduct in Connection With Certain Organizations.--Any citizen of the United States or alien admitted for permanent residence who-- ``(1) is an officer, director, employee, or agent of an organization that affects interstate or foreign commerce; ``(2) makes use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce through the connection or affiliation of the person with such organization; and ``(3) commits an act in furtherance of illicit sexual conduct through the connection or affiliation of the person with such organization, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned for not more than 30 years, or both.''; (2) in subsection (f), as so redesignated, by striking ``or (d)'' and inserting ``(d), or (e)''; and (3) in subsection (i), as so redesignated, by striking ``(f)(2)'' and inserting ``(g)(2)''. SEC. 5. SEXUAL ACTIVITY WITH MINORS. Section 2427 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting ``does not require interpersonal physical contact, and'' before ``includes''. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

<p><b>Paycheck Fairness Act</b></p> <p>This bill addresses wage discrimination on the basis of sex. Specifically, it (1) limits an employer's defense that a pay differential is based on a factor other than sex to only bona fide job-related factors in wage discrimination claims, (2) enhances nonretaliation prohibitions, (3) makes it unlawful to require an employee to sign a contract or waiver prohibiting the employee from disclosing information about the employee's wages, and (4) increases civil penalties for violations of equal pay provisions. </p> <p>Additionally, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs must train EEOC employees and other affected parties on wage discrimination. <p>The bill directs the Department of Labor to (1) establish and carry out a grant program for negotiation skills training for girls and women, (2) conduct studies to eliminate pay disparities between men and women, and (3) make available information on wage discrimination to assist the public in understanding and addressing such discrimination. <p>The bill also establishes the Secretary of Labor's National Award for Pay Equity in the Workplace for an employer who has made a substantial effort to eliminate pay disparities between men and women. <p>Finally, the bill requires the EEOC to issue regulations for collecting from employers compensation and other employment data according to the sex, race, and national origin of employees for use in enforcing laws prohibiting pay discrimination. <p>

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 ``Paycheck Fairness Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) Women have entered the workforce in record numbers over the past 50 years. (2) Despite the enactment of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, many women continue to earn significantly lower pay than men for equal work. These pay disparities exist in both the private and governmental sectors. Pay disparities are especially severe for women and girls of color. (3) In many instances, the pay disparities can only be due to continued intentional discrimination or the lingering effects of past discrimination. After controlling for educational attainment, occupation, industry, union status, race, ethnicity, and labor force experience roughly 40 percent of the pay gap remains unexplained. (4) The existence of such pay disparities-- (A) depresses the wages of working families who rely on the wages of all members of the family to make ends meet; (B) undermines women's retirement security, which is often based on earnings while in the workforce; (C) prevents women from realizing their full economic potential, particularly in terms of labor force participation and attachment; (D) has been spread and perpetuated, through commerce and the channels and instrumentalities of commerce, among the workers of the several States; (E) burdens commerce and the free flow of goods in commerce; (F) constitutes an unfair method of competition in commerce; (G) tends to cause labor disputes, as evidenced by the tens of thousands of charges filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against employers between 2010 and 2016; (H) interferes with the orderly and fair marketing of goods in commerce; and (I) in many instances, may deprive workers of equal protection on the basis of sex in violation of the 5th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution. (5)(A) Artificial barriers to the elimination of discrimination in the payment of wages on the basis of sex continue to exist decades after the enactment of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 201 et seq.) and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000a et seq.). (B) These barriers have resulted, in significant part, because the Equal Pay Act of 1963 has not worked as Congress originally intended. Improvements and modifications to the law are necessary to ensure that the Act provides effective protection to those subject to pay discrimination on the basis of their sex. (C) Elimination of such barriers would have positive effects, including-- (i) providing a solution to problems in the economy created by unfair pay disparities; (ii) substantially reducing the number of working women earning unfairly low wages, thereby reducing the dependence on public assistance; (iii) promoting stable families by enabling all family members to earn a fair rate of pay; (iv) remedying the effects of past discrimination on the basis of sex and ensuring that in the future workers are afforded equal protection on the basis of sex; and (v) ensuring equal protection pursuant to Congress' power to enforce the 5th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution. (6) The Department of Labor and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission carry out functions to help ensure that women receive equal pay for equal work. (7) The Department of Labor is responsible for-- (A) collecting and making publicly available information about women's pay; (B) ensuring that companies receiving Federal contracts comply with anti-discrimination affirmative action requirements of Executive Order 11246 (relating to equal employment opportunity); (C) disseminating information about women's rights in the workplace; (D) helping women who have been victims of pay discrimination obtain a remedy; and (E) investigating and prosecuting systemic gender based pay discrimination involving government contractors. (8) The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is the primary enforcement agency for claims made under the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and issues regulations and guidance on appropriate interpretations of the law. (9) Vigorous implementation by the Department of Labor and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, increased information as a result of the amendments made by this Act, wage data, and more effective remedies, will ensure that women are better able to recognize and enforce their rights. (10) Certain employers have already made great strides in eradicating unfair pay disparities in the workplace and their achievements should be recognized. SEC. 3. ENHANCED ENFORCEMENT OF EQUAL PAY REQUIREMENTS. (a) Bona Fide Factor Defense and Modification of Same Establishment Requirement.--Section 6(d)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 206(d)(1)) is amended-- (1) by striking ``No employer having'' and inserting ``(A) No employer having''; (2) by striking ``any other factor other than sex'' and inserting ``a bona fide factor other than sex, such as education, training, or experience''; and (3) by inserting at the end the following: ``(B) The bona fide factor defense described in subparagraph (A)(iv) shall apply only if the employer demonstrates that such factor (i) is not based upon or derived from a sex-based differential in compensation; (ii) is job-related with respect to the position in question; (iii) is consistent with business necessity; and (iv) accounts for the entire differential in compensation at issue. Such defense shall not apply where the employee demonstrates that an alternative employment practice exists that would serve the same business purpose without producing such differential and that the employer has refused to adopt such alternative practice. ``(C) For purposes of subparagraph (A), employees shall be deemed to work in the same establishment if the employees work for the same employer at workplaces located in the same county or similar political subdivision of a State. The preceding sentence shall not be construed as limiting broader applications of the term `establishment' consistent with rules prescribed or guidance issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.''. (b) Nonretaliation Provision.--Section 15 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 215) is amended-- (1) in subsection (a)-- (A) in paragraph (3), by striking ``employee has filed'' and all that follows and inserting ``employee-- ``(A) has made a charge or filed any complaint or instituted or caused to be instituted any investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action under or related to this Act, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or has testified or is planning to testify or has assisted or participated in any manner in any such investigation, proceeding, hearing or action, or has served or is planning to serve on an industry committee; or ``(B) has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the wages of the employee or another employee (such as by inquiring or discussing with the employer why the wages of the employee are set at a certain rate or salary);''; (B) in paragraph (5), by striking the period at the end and inserting ``; or''; and (C) by adding at the end the following: ``(6) to require an employee to sign a contract or waiver that would prohibit the employee from disclosing information about the employee's wages.''; and (2) by adding at the end the following: ``(c) Subsection (a)(3)(B) shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the wage information of other employees as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the wages of such other employees to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a complaint or charge or in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action under section 6(d), including an investigation conducted by the employer. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to limit the rights of an employee provided under any other provision of law.''. (c) Enhanced Penalties.--Section 16(b) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 216(b)) is amended-- (1) by inserting after the first sentence the following: ``Any employer who violates section 6(d) shall additionally be liable for such compensatory damages, or, where the employee demonstrates that the employer acted with malice or reckless indifference, punitive damages as may be appropriate, except that the United States shall not be liable for punitive damages.''; (2) in the sentence beginning ``An action to'', by striking ``the preceding sentences'' and inserting ``any of the preceding sentences of this subsection''; (3) in the sentence beginning ``No employees shall'', by striking ``No employees'' and inserting ``Except with respect to class actions brought to enforce section 6(d), no employee''; (4) by inserting after the sentence referred to in paragraph (3), the following: ``Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal law, any action brought to enforce section 6(d) may be maintained as a class action as provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.''; and (5) in the sentence beginning ``The court in''-- (A) by striking ``in such action'' and inserting ``in any action brought to recover the liability prescribed in any of the preceding sentences of this subsection''; and (B) by inserting before the period the following: ``, including expert fees''. (d) Action by Secretary.--Section 16(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 216(c)) is amended-- (1) in the first sentence-- (A) by inserting ``or, in the case of a violation of section 6(d), additional compensatory or punitive damages, as described in subsection (b),'' before ``and the agreement''; and (B) by inserting before the period the following: ``, or such compensatory or punitive damages, as appropriate''; (2) in the second sentence, by inserting before the period the following: ``and, in the case of a violation of section 6(d), additional compensatory or punitive damages, as described in subsection (b)''; (3) in the third sentence, by striking ``the first sentence'' and inserting ``the first or second sentence''; and (4) in the sixth sentence-- (A) by striking ``commenced in the case'' and inserting ``commenced-- ``(1) in the case''; (B) by striking the period and inserting ``; or''; and (C) by adding at the end the following: ``(2) in the case of a class action brought to enforce section 6(d), on the date on which the individual becomes a party plaintiff to the class action.''. SEC. 4. TRAINING. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, subject to the availability of funds appropriated under section 11, shall provide training to Commission employees and affected individuals and entities on matters involving discrimination in the payment of wages. SEC. 5. NEGOTIATION SKILLS TRAINING. (a) Program Authorized.-- (1) In general.--The Secretary of Labor, after consultation with the Secretary of Education, is authorized to establish and carry out a grant program.

EASE Behavioral Health Services Act
[ [ "K000393", "Sen. Kennedy, John [R-LA]", "sponsor" ] ]
<p><b>Enhance Access to Support Essential Behavioral Health Services Act or the EASE Behavioral Health Services Act</b></p> <p>This bill removes restrictions that require the originating site (i.e., the location of the beneficiary) to be in a rural area, and allows the home of a beneficiary to serve as the originating site, for behavioral health telehealth services under Medicare. The bill applies to services provided on or after January 1, 2025. </p> <p>The bill also expands the scope of required guidance, studies, and reports to address the provision of such services under Medicaid. </p>
<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 730 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 730 To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act and the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act to provide for Medicare and Medicaid mental and behavioral health treatment through telehealth. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 9, 2023 Mr. Kennedy introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act and the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act to provide for Medicare and Medicaid mental and behavioral health treatment through telehealth. 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 ``Enhance Access to Support Essential Behavioral Health Services Act'' or the ``EASE Behavioral Health Services Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds as follows: (1) Nearly 18 percent of adults in the United States reported a mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder in 2015. (2) Children are also significantly impacted. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 6 children ages 2 years through 8 years have a diagnosed mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder, indicating that disorders begin in early childhood and affect lifelong health. (3) Moreover, 1 in 7 children and adolescents have at least one treatable mental health disorder. (4) There is a critical link between mental health and substance use disorders. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 1 in 4 adults with severe mental illness had a substance use disorder in 2017. (5) Moreover, children who have had a major depressive episode are more than twice as likely to use illicit drugs. (6) In 2017, approximately 19.7 million people aged 12 years or older had a substance use disorder related to their use of alcohol or illicit drugs in the past year. (7) Despite this overwhelming need, access to behavioral health services remains among the most pressing health care challenges in our country. (8) An estimated 56 percent of Americans with a mental health disorder did not receive treatment in 2017. (9) Similarly, half of children and adolescents did not receive treatment for their mental health disorder in 2016. (10) Further complicating access to care, as demand for behavioral health services increases in communities across the United States, the number of psychiatrists available to treat them continues to decline. (11) The population of practicing psychiatrists declined by more than 10 percent between the period of 2003 through 2013, while the population of primary care physicians and neurologists grew during the same period. (12) Technology has evolved to connect individuals to health care services in new ways, including via telehealth. (13) Moreover, studies show that video visits are an effective strategy to provide mental health treatment to children and, in fact, may be preferable in some cases. (14) During the 115th Congress, Congress recognized the potential of telehealth to ensure that those in urgent need of substance use disorder treatment receive the care they require. (15) As passed and signed into law, sections 2001 and 1009 of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act (Public Law 115-271) expands the use of telehealth services for the treatment of opioid use disorder and other substance use disorders. (16) It is widely recognized that there is a close relationship between mental health and substance use disorders. SEC. 3. MEDICARE TREATMENT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES FURNISHED THROUGH TELEHEALTH. Section 1834(m) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395m(m)) is amended-- (1) in paragraph (4)(C)-- (A) in clause (i), by striking ``and (7)'' and inserting ``(7), and (10)''; and (B) in clause (ii)(X)-- (i) by striking ``or telehealth services'' and inserting ``, telehealth services''; and (ii) by inserting ``or telehealth services described in paragraph (10)'' before the period at the end; and (2) by adding at the end the following new paragraph: ``(10) Treatment of behavioral health services furnished through telehealth.--The geographic requirements described in paragraph (4)(C)(i) shall not apply with respect to telehealth services that are behavioral health services furnished on or after January 1, 2025, to eligible telehealth individuals, including initial patient evaluations, follow-up medical management, and other behavioral health services, as determined by the Secretary, at an originating site described in paragraph (4)(C)(ii) (other than an originating site described in subclause (IX) of such paragraph).''.

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 ``Biochar Research Network Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. NATIONAL BIOCHAR RESEARCH NETWORK. Title IV of the Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act of 1998 is amended by inserting before section 404 (7 U.S.C. 7624) the following: ``SEC. 403. NATIONAL BIOCHAR RESEARCH NETWORK. ``(a) Establishment.--The Secretary shall establish a national biochar research network (referred to in this section as the `research network') of not more than 20 research sites or facilities described in subsection (c) to test the full range of biochar types across soil types, soil health and soil management conditions, application methods, and climatic and agronomic regions-- ``(1) to assess the soil carbon sequestration potential of various biochars and management systems integrating biochar use; ``(2) to understand how to use biochar productively to contribute to climate mitigation, crop production, resilience to extreme weather events, ecosystem and soil health, natural resource conservation, and farm profitability; and ``(3) to deliver science-based, region-specific, cost- effective, and practical information to farmers, ranchers, foresters, land reclamation managers, urban land managers, and other land and natural resource managers and businesses on sustainable biochar production and application. ``(b) Scope.-- ``(1) In general.--The research network shall encompass-- ``(A) agriculture, horticulture, rangeland, forestry, and other biochar uses; and ``(B) a broad range of feedstocks, production processes, and application treatments. ``(2) Research.--The research conducted by the research network shall include-- ``(A) cross-site and mechanistic experiments-- ``(i) to fill critical knowledge gaps and gain a more complete understanding of the impact of various types of biochar in varying site conditions on soil properties, plant growth, greenhouse gas emissions, and carbon sequestration in different soils, climates, and other natural and agronomic conditions; ``(ii) to provide mechanistic and technoeconomic insights on thermochemical conversion processes in biochar production and the coproduction of biochar and bioenergy, including interactions of feedstock properties with reactor conditions and processes on the relative proportions and properties of biochar, biofuels, and value-added coproducts, as well as process efficiency; ``(iii) to generate data to develop, calibrate, and validate robust mechanistic models to predict the full life cycle of greenhouse gas, crop response, and related agronomic and environmental implications of particular applications of biochar; ``(iv) to generate data to help guide the design of new, more efficient biochar and bioenergy production reactors and biorefineries; and ``(v) to generate data to develop, calibrate, and validate testing methodologies for biochar to identify potential contaminants or other factors that may cause unintended consequences; and ``(B) site-specific farm and forestry systems assessments and pilot-scale biochar production and application systems-- ``(i) to refine the most promising soil- based uses, sources, and methods of producing and applying biochar in particular regions-- ``(I) to enhance productivity; ``(II) to increase profitability, scalability, and portability; ``(III) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; ``(IV) to improve ecosystem and soil health; ``(V) to strengthen resilience to extreme weather events; and ``(VI) to explore soil, crop, climate, management, and biochar interactions; ``(ii) to develop new knowledge to support decisions on sustainable production and use of biochar; ``(iii) to collect relevant data needed for full life cycle greenhouse gas and economic analyses and complete those analysis; ``(iv) to predict plant response, soil health, soil carbon sequestration, ecosystem health, water quality, greenhouse gas, and economic outcomes for specific implementations of biochar technology; ``(v) to provide data to evaluate local biomass feedstocks, support selection of sustainable biochar production methods, and address biochar production issues; and ``(vi) to share research results to inform farmers, horticulturalists, ranchers, foresters, urban biochar users, extension agents and specialists, and technical assistance providers on the most advantageous ways to use biochar to increase profitability, raise productivity, lower costs, improve soil and plant health, and enhance resilience to extreme weather events while contributing to carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas reductions. ``(c) Eligibility.--An entity shall be eligible to be selected to conduct research as part of the research network if the entity is-- ``(1) a State agricultural experiment station or a State forestry experiment station; ``(2) a research facility of the Agricultural Research Service, the Forest Service, or any other agency of the Department of Agriculture that the Secretary determines to be appropriate; or ``(3) a research facility of the Department of Energy, the Department of Commerce, or the Department of the Interior. ``(d) Administration.-- ``(1) In general.--The research network shall be administered by the Administrator of the Agricultural Research Service, in partnership with-- ``(A) the Chief of the Forest Service; ``(B) the Director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture; ``(C) the Secretary of Energy; ``(D) the Secretary of Commerce; ``(E) the Secretary of the Interior; and ``(F) such other agencies of the Department of Agriculture as the Secretary determines to be appropriate. ``(2) Conservation.--The Secretary, acting through the Chief of the Natural Resources Conservation Service-- ``(A) may develop or revise practice standards informed by the research conducted by the research network; and ``(B) shall coordinate the activities of the research network with-- ``(i) the development, expansion, and refinement of conservation practice standards for biochar production and use for soil and forest health, climate adaptation and mitigation, and other conservation purposes; and ``(ii) improvements and expansion of conservation program technical and financial support for biochar production, application, and integration into soil health management systems and other conservation approaches. ``(e) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section $50,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2023 through 2028.''. &lt;all&gt;

<p><strong>No Tax Breaks for Union Busting (NTBUB) Act</strong></p> <p>This bill denies employers a tax deduction for any expenditures incurred for attempting to influence their employees with respect to labor organizations or labor organization activities, such as elections, labor disputes, and collective actions. </p> <p>The bill requires employers to report on their attempts to influence their employees with respect to labor organizations and their activities.</p>
<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 737 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 737 To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to end the tax subsidy for employer efforts to influence their workers' exercise of their rights around labor organizations and engaging in collective action. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 9, 2023 Mr. Casey (for himself, Mrs. Murray, Mr. Wyden, Mr. Van Hollen, Mr. Booker, Mr. Schatz, Ms. Smith, Mr. Reed, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Welch, Mr. Durbin, Mr. Markey, Ms. Warren, Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Lujan, Ms. Klobuchar, Mr. Merkley, Mr. Sanders, Mr. Whitehouse, Mr. Cardin, Mr. Brown, Mr. Blumenthal, Ms. Stabenow, Mr. Padilla, Mr. Menendez, Ms. Hirono, Mr. Fetterman, Mr. Peters, and Ms. Cortez Masto) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to end the tax subsidy for employer efforts to influence their workers' exercise of their rights around labor organizations and engaging in collective action. 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 Tax Breaks for Union Busting (NTBUB) Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) The National Labor Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) declares that it is the right of employees to form, join, or assist labor organizations. (2) The National Labor Relations Act further declares that it is ``the policy of the United States to eliminate the causes of certain substantial obstructions to the free flow of commerce and to mitigate and eliminate these obstructions when they have occurred by encouraging the practice and procedure of collective bargaining and by protecting the exercise by workers of full freedom of association, self-organization, and designation of representatives of their own choosing . . .''. (3) Despite Congress' intention to give workers full agency in these matters, many employers regularly choose to involve themselves, lawfully or unlawfully, in the decisions of their employees about whether to avail themselves of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act and the Railway Labor Act (45 U.S.C. 151 et seq.). (4) Employers frequently violate labor laws around organizing and collective action. The Economic Policy Institute finds that in approximately 4 of 10 labor organization elections in 2016-2017 employers were charged with committing an unfair labor practice. Among larger bargaining units of 61 employees or more, over 54 percent of elections have an unfair labor practice charge. (5) In practice, these unfair labor practices often include charges such as employees being illegally fired for labor organization activity, refusal to bargain in good faith with labor organizations, or coercion and intimidation. Employers also frequently use captive audience meetings, workplace surveillance, and other lawful or unlawful tactics to sway labor organization elections. (6) Whether or not there are charges of unlawful behavior, employers spend millions of dollars to sway the opinions of their employees with respect to whether or how to exercise their rights under the National Labor Relations Act and the Railway Labor Act. According to the Economic Policy Institute, companies spent $340,000,000 yearly on outside consultants to sway their workers' opinions about labor organization activities. This and other spending interfere with the United States' goal of ``encouraging the practice and procedure of collective bargaining''. (7) The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 has long recognized that spending by businesses with the purpose of influencing the general public with respect to elections, while it may be lawful, is not tax deductible. Congress should extend that principle to spending done by employers to influence workers' elections and collective bargaining decisions. These free choices to exercise the rights to engage in collective bargaining, labor organization representation, and other lawful collective activities should be made without taxpayer subsidies of undue outside influence from employers.

All points of order against the motion to proceed to the Commission joint resolution are waived. The motion to proceed shall not be debatable. The motion is not subject to a motion to postpone. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not be in order.

(h) Exercise of Rulemaking Power.--This section is enacted by Congress-- (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and House of Representatives, respectively, and, as such-- (A) it is deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in that House in the case of a Commission joint resolution; and (B) it supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is inconsistent with such rules; and (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that House. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 753 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 753 To require small, medium, and large hub airports to certify that airport service workers are paid the prevailing wage and provided fringe benefits, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 9, 2023 Mr. Markey (for himself, Mr. Schumer, Mr. Blumenthal, Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Booker, Ms. Duckworth, Mr. Durbin, Mrs. Gillibrand, Mr. Menendez, Mr. Merkley, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Padilla, Mr. Sanders, Ms. Smith, Mr. Van Hollen, Mr. Warnock, and Ms. Warren) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To require small, medium, and large hub airports to certify that airport service workers are paid the prevailing wage and provided fringe benefits, 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 ``Good Jobs for Good Airports Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSES. (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following: (1) Safe and effective airport operations are essential to national commerce and the general welfare. (2) A well-trained, stable workforce at our Nation's airports is critical to ensuring public safety and security, as well as the health and safety of the public and protection from infectious diseases. (3) The Federal Government has invested billions of dollars in creating and maintaining our Nation's aviation infrastructure, reflecting the national interest in maintaining airports across the country. (4) Airport services are most effective when the workforce providing those services is able to earn a living wage and able to secure adequate health benefit coverage. In fact, meeting the growing challenges of operating airports securely and efficiently requires the recruitment and retention of excellent staff in all of the classifications of employees who work in airport services and operations. (5) Effective management of airports and effective airport security requires that workforce turnover be reduced and that the workforce be highly trained and highly motivated. (6) In connection with setting workplace standards for those engaged in airport services, there is a need to establish an orderly system that reconciles competing interests without undue disruption. (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are-- (1) to provide a mechanism for ensuring minimum workplace standards for individuals who work in airports whose operators are grantees of Federal assistance or derive revenue from fees authorized by the Federal Government; and (2) to serve the best interests of the people of the United States by stabilizing the workplace conditions of the labor pool that supports our Nation's airport operations.

TITLE II--RECOGNIZING THE ROLE OF DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS SEC. 201. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) Direct support professionals play a critical role in the care provided to children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. (2) Providers of home and community-based services are experiencing difficulty hiring and retaining direct support professionals, with a national turnover rate of 45 percent as identified in a 2016 study by the National Core Indicators. (3) High turnover rates can lead to instability for individuals receiving services, and this may result in individuals not receiving enough personalized care to help them reach their goals for independent living. (4) A discrete occupational category for direct support professionals will help States and the Federal Government-- (A) better interpret the shortage in the labor market of direct support professionals; and (B) collect data on the high turnover rate of direct support professionals. (5) The Standard Occupational Classification system is designed and maintained solely for statistical purposes, and is used by Federal statistical agencies to classify workers and jobs into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, analyzing, or disseminating data. (6) Occupations in the Standard Occupational Classification system are classified based on work performed and, in some cases, on the skills, education, or training needed to perform the work. (7) Establishing a discrete occupational category for direct support professionals will-- (A) correct an inaccurate representation in the Standard Occupational Classification system; (B) recognize these professionals for the critical and often times overlooked work that they perform for the disabled community, which work is different than the work of a home health aide or a personal care aide; and (C) better align the Standard Occupational Classification system with related classification systems. SEC. 202. DEFINITION OF DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL.

SEC. 203. REVISION OF STANDARD OCCUPATIONAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM.

The bill applies these modified requirements to residents of Puerto Rico affected by the Hurricanes.</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 ``Pay Teachers Act''. (b) Table of Contents.--The table of contents of this Act is as follows: Sec. 1. Short title; table of contents. Sec. 2. Purposes. Sec. 3. Findings. Sec. 4. Definitions. Sec. 5. Regulations; special rule. TITLE I--INVESTING IN OUR NATION'S STUDENTS Sec. 101. Mandatory appropriations for part A of title I of the ESEA. Sec. 102.

Mandatory appropriations for the Supporting Effective Educator Development program. Sec. 305. Mandatory appropriations for the Teacher and School Leader Incentive program to support continued teacher growth and contributions to student learning. SEC. 2. PURPOSES. The purposes of this Act are to-- (1) ensure public elementary and secondary school teachers earn a livable salary and are compensated with a career-based competitive salary that-- (A) includes a starting annual base salary of not less than $60,000; and (B) increases regularly throughout a teacher's career; (2) increase Federal investments in public schools, and call upon States and local governments to increase investments in public education in order to promote educational equity, including by ensuring that every public school student is taught by a qualified teacher; and (3) invest in a diverse teacher workforce, by strengthening the educator pipeline and supporting career development and advancement through expanded teacher leadership and professional advancement opportunities. SEC. 3. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) In the majority of States, public elementary and secondary school teachers do not earn a livable and competitive salary. According to the 2022 report by the Economic Policy Institute-- (A) over the past nearly 3 decades, the average inflation-adjusted weekly wages of public school teachers grew just $29 from $1,319 to $1,348 while, conversely, ``inflation-adjusted weekly wages of other college graduates rose from $1,564 to $2,009 over the same period--a $445 increase.''; (B) non-teaching college graduates realized an inflation-adjusted weekly increase that was 15 times higher than public school teachers; and (C) ``in 28 states, teachers are paid less than 80 cents on the dollar earned by similar college-educated workers in those states.''. (2) Many teachers across the country are working multiple jobs and have to rely on public assistance programs just to make ends meet. According to the Southern Regional Education Board, in 36 States, the average teacher salary is low enough that mid-career teachers who are the head of household for a family of 4 qualify for government benefits. According to a University of California, Berkeley study, between 2014 and 2016, 21 percent of elementary and middle school teachers were part of families enrolled in at least one of the following public assistance programs: (A) The Earned Income Tax Credit under section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. (B) The Medicaid program. (C) The Children's Health Insurance program. (D) The supplemental nutrition assistance program established under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.). (E) The program of block grants to States for temporary assistance for needy families established under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). (3) One estimate shows that in school year 2020-2021, 17 percent of public school teachers worked multiple jobs during the school year, such as working in restaurants or driving for ride-share platforms. (4) A similar pattern of inflation-adjusted weekly wages can be seen for school paraprofessionals and other instructional staff. The lack of sufficient and competitive wages is even more pronounced in other school staff roles, with many school staff unable to earn a livable wage. The median pay in the 2019-2020 school year was $13 an hour for school food service workers, $16.36 an hour for bus drivers, $15.34 an hour for school building and cleaning workers, and $19.50 an hour for school administrative and support workers. (5) According to the National Education Association, the average starting teacher salary in the United States was $42,845 in the 2021-2022 school year. This is an increase of 2.5 percent over the previous school year. Only 1.8 percent of local educational agencies in the United States, who employ 5.9 percent of all teachers, pay a starting salary of $60,000 or more. Nationwide, 39.7 percent of local educational agencies pay their starting teachers less than $40,000, and those local educational agencies employ 17.9 percent of teachers nationwide. (6) According to a 2022 study from the Annenberg Institute at Brown University, the most recent national data shows that nearly 200,000 teaching positions were either vacant or held by underqualified teachers. This study, and others, consistently demonstrate that teacher shortages disproportionately impact schools serving the most students of color and from low-income backgrounds. (7) Nearly 70 years after Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), required the provision of public education to all people ``on equal terms,'' children of color, children with disabilities, and children in low-income communities are routinely denied a high-quality education. The Civil Rights Data Collection of the Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Education shows that schools with high enrollment of students of color are 4 times as likely to employ uncertified teachers compared to schools with low enrollment of students of color. Additional studies show that teachers with less than 3 years of experience are concentrated in schools serving a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds and students of color. (8) Research, including a study by the Economic Policy Institute, has found that raising teacher salaries helps attract the best and brightest young people into teaching, encourages teachers to teach in underserved schools, improves teacher retention and morale, and bolsters student academic outcomes. According to the Learning Policy Institute, controlling for other factors, teachers employed by local educational agencies with the highest salary schedules are 31 percent less likely to leave than teachers employed by local educational agencies with lower pay scales. (9) According to the Consortium for Policy Research in Education at the University of Pennsylvania, teachers who enter the profession through comprehensive and high-quality pathways are 2 to 3 times more likely to remain in the profession than underprepared teachers who enter through less than comprehensive pathways. (10) Several studies have shown the many benefits of providing opportunities for teacher leadership, which include improving instructional practice, increasing academic and other positive outcomes for students, and increasing teacher retention. (11) Teachers in the United States are systemically underpaid compared to their similarly educated peers. As the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development wrote in 2019, ``Depending on the level of education taught, teachers' salaries are between 62 percent and 68 percent of the average salaries of tertiary-educated workers. These relative earnings are among the lowest across all OECD countries and economies.''. (12) Raising teacher salaries to at least $60,000 a year and ensuring competitive pay throughout the lifetime of the teaching career is one of the most important steps the United States can take to address the teacher shortage crisis and ensure all students have access to qualified teachers and educational opportunity. Paying teachers as the professionals they are is critical in order to honor the work of educators, restore respect to the teaching profession, and create a high- quality public education system that serves the needs of students, families, and teachers.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLES. This Act may be cited as the ``Mental Health in International Development and Humanitarian Settings Act'' or the ``MINDS Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS. (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following: (1) According to the World Health Organization (referred to in this section as ``WHO''), an estimated 1,000,000,000 individuals worldwide have a mental health or substance use disorder. (2) The Lancet Commission estimates that nearly 130,000,000 additional cases of major depressive and anxiety disorders globally in 2020 resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. (3) According to WHO-- (A) depression is among the primary causes of illness and disability in adolescents; (B) 50 percent of mental health disorders emerge by the time an adolescent reaches 14 years of age; and (C) 14 percent of children and adolescents worldwide experience mental health conditions, the majority of whom do not seek care, receive care, or have access to care. (4) According to a report commissioned by the United Nations-- (A) more than 1 out of every 5 individuals living in a conflict-affected area has a mental health disorder; (B) approximately 1,500,000,000 (or 2 out of every 3) of the world's children younger than 18 years of age live in countries affected by conflict; (C) more than 1 out of every 6 children live in conflict zones; (D) a greater number of children live in areas affected by armed conflict and war now than at any other time during this century; and (E) the mental health burden in conflict-affected contexts is twice the global average. (5) According to the WHO-- (A) risk factors that increase susceptibility to mental health disorders include-- (i) poverty and hunger; (ii) chronic health conditions; (iii) trauma or maltreatment; (iv) social exclusion; (v) discrimination; and (vi) exposure to, and displacement by, war or conflict; (B) these risk factors, along with demographic risk factors, manifest at all stages in life; (C) preliminary research illustrates that the COVID-19 pandemic-- (i) has increased the risk factors affecting communities, families, and individuals for multiple types of adversity; and (ii) compounded preexisting conditions and vulnerabilities. (6) According to a Lancet Commission report-- (A) allocations for mental health have never risen above 1 percent of health-related global development assistance; and (B) child and adolescent mental health services receive an estimated 0.1 percent of health-related global development assistance. (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) helping to ensure that individuals have the opportunity to thrive and reach their fullest potential is a critical component of effective and sustainable international development efforts; (2) mental health is integral and essential to overall health outcomes and other development objectives; (3) mental health is an issue of critical and growing importance for United States development and humanitarian assistance programs that requires coordinated efforts to ensure that programming funded by the United States Government is evidence-based, culturally competent, and trauma-informed; (4) the relevant United States Government development and humanitarian assistance strategies should include a mental health and psychosocial support component; (5) the redesign of USAID-- (A) reflects the nexus between humanitarian and development interventions; and (B) should be applied to all mental health and psychosocial support efforts of United States development and humanitarian assistance programs; and (6) ongoing efforts to improve social service workforce development and local capacity building are essential to expanding mental health and psychosocial support activities across all United States development and humanitarian assistance programs.

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 789 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 789 To require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint a coin in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the United States Foreign Service and its contribution to United States diplomacy. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 14, 2023 Mr. Van Hollen (for himself and Mr. Sullivan) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint a coin in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the United States Foreign Service and its contribution to United States diplomacy. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``United States Foreign Service Commemorative Coin Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) On September 15, 1789, the 1st United States Congress passed an Act creating the Department of State and appointing duties to it, including the keeping of the Great Seal of the United States. Initially there were 2 services devoted to diplomatic and to consular activity. The Diplomatic Service provided ambassadors and staff for embassies overseas, while the Consular Service provided consuls to assist United States sailors and promote international trade and commerce. (2) After World War I ended, Congress complemented the earlier efforts for Civil Service reform, interrupted by World War I, to create a career, professional diplomatic service. Representative John Jacob Rogers of Massachusetts introduced his first Foreign Service reform bill in 1919, followed by several others. He was strongly supported in his efforts by Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes. The legislation provided improvements in the Diplomatic and Consular Services to attract highly qualified candidates ``by keen competition''. The objective was to create ``a real diplomatic career, open to any American citizen who has the necessary qualifications''. (3) The Act entitled ``An Act for the reorganization and improvement of the Foreign Service of the United States, and for other purposes'', approved May 24, 1924 (43 Stat. 140, chapter 182) (commonly known as the ``Rogers Act of 1924''), unified the Diplomatic and Consular Services in one career organization based on competitive examination and merit promotion. It was named the ``Foreign Service of the United States of America''. President Calvin Coolidge signed the bill into law on May 24, 1924. The first class of new Foreign Service officers was held in 1925. (4) The Foreign Service of the United States is the primary United States Federal Government professional cadre of generalists and specialists charged with the conduct of United States diplomacy under the aegis of the United States Department of State. It consists of more than 15,000 career professionals carrying out the foreign policy of the United States and aiding United States citizens abroad. (5) In 1946, after World War II, Congress passed the Foreign Service Act of 1946 (60 Stat. 999, chapter 957) to update the 1924 Rogers Act. (6) In 1980, the Congress again updated the Rogers Act, passing the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 3901 et seq.), to promote the foreign policy of the United States by strengthening and improving the Foreign Service of the United States. (7) Since the creation of the United States Foreign Service, generations of Foreign Service members and families have represented the United States around the world, in peace and war. Over 320 names are inscribed in the memorial plaques erected by the American Foreign Service Association and located in the lobby of the Harry S. Truman Building, the headquarters of the Department of State, to honor ``diplomatic and consular officers of the United States who while on active duty lost their lives under heroic or tragic circumstances''. (8) The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training is dedicated to capturing, preserving, and sharing the experiences of United States diplomats. The Association has created, managed, and maintained a Foreign Affairs Oral History program consisting of more than 2,600 first-person oral histories of United States diplomats to capture and share the legacy and contributions of modern United States diplomacy. The Association is a nongovernmental, member-based, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization housed on the campus of the George P. Shultz National Foreign Affairs Training Center and dependent on funds from members, donations, contracts, and grants to sustain its work. SEC. 3. COIN SPECIFICATIONS.

United States Legal Gold and Mining Partnership Act
[ [ "R000595", "Sen. Rubio, Marco [R-FL]", "sponsor" ], [ "M000639", "Sen. Menendez, Robert [D-NJ]", "cosponsor" ] ]
<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 797 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 797 To establish and implement a multi-year Legal Gold and Mining Partnership Strategy to reduce the negative environmental and social impacts of illicit gold mining in the Western Hemisphere, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 14, 2023 Mr. Rubio (for himself and Mr. Menendez) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To establish and implement a multi-year Legal Gold and Mining Partnership Strategy to reduce the negative environmental and social impacts of illicit gold mining in the Western Hemisphere, 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 ``United States Legal Gold and Mining Partnership Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) The illicit mining, trafficking, and commercialization of gold in the Western Hemisphere-- (A) negatively affects the region's economic and social dynamics; (B) strengthens transnational criminal organizations and other international illicit actors; and (C) has a deleterious impact on the environment and food security. (2) A lack of economic opportunities and the weak rule of law promote illicit activities, such as illicit gold mining, which increases the vulnerability of individuals in mining areas, including indigenous communities, who have been subjected to trafficking in persons, other human rights abuses, and population displacement in relation to mining activity, particularly in the artisanal and small-scale mining sector. (3) Illicit gold mining in Latin America often involves and benefits transnational criminal organizations, drug trafficking organizations, terrorist groups, and other illegal armed groups that extort miners and enter into illicit partnerships with them in order to gain revenue from the illicit activity.

<p><b>Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of </b><b>2023</b></p> <p>This bill expands Medicare coverage of chiropractic services to include all services provided by chiropractors, rather than only subluxation corrections through manual manipulation of the spine.</p>
<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. 799 Introduced in Senate (IS)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 799 To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide Medicare coverage for all physicians' services furnished by doctors of chiropractic within the scope of their license, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 14, 2023 Mr. Blumenthal (for himself, Mr. Cramer, Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Wicker, Mr. Tester, Mr. Hoeven, and Mr. Daines) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide Medicare coverage for all physicians' services furnished by doctors of chiropractic within the scope of their license, 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 ``Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS; STATEMENT OF PURPOSE. (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following: (1) In 1972, coverage was established under the Medicare program for beneficiaries to receive chiropractic care. (2) Unfortunately, the antiquated statute restricts beneficiaries to one service in a chiropractic clinic and Medicare chiropractic coverage has not kept up with private sector coverage and other federal health delivery systems. (3) Today, due to positive evidence-based outcomes and cost effectiveness of the services provided by doctors of chiropractic, private coverage for chiropractic services has evolved and State licensure for chiropractors has advanced to meet patient needs and health outcomes. (4) This Act would bring Medicare chiropractic coverage more in line with that provided with the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, and private health insurance coverage. (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to expand recognition and coverage of a doctor of chiropractic as a ``physician'' under the Medicare program in connection with the performance of any function or action, including current service of ``manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation'', as is legally authorized by the State in which such doctor performs such function or action. SEC. 3. PROVIDING MEDICARE COVERAGE FOR ALL PHYSICIANS' SERVICES FURNISHED BY DOCTORS OF CHIROPRACTIC WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THEIR LICENSE. (a) In General.--Section 1861(r)(5) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395x(r)(5)) is amended by striking ``a chiropractor who is licensed as such by the State (or in a State which does not license chiropractors as such, is legally authorized to perform the services of a chiropractor in the jurisdiction in which he performs such services), and who meets uniform minimum standards promulgated by the Secretary, but only for the purpose of sections 1861(s)(1) and 1861(s)(2)(A) and only with respect to treatment by means of manual manipulation of the spine (to correct a subluxation) which he is legally authorized to perform by the State or jurisdiction in which such treatment is provided'' and inserting ``a doctor of chiropractic who is licensed as a doctor of chiropractic or a chiropractor by the State in which the function or action is performed and whose license provides legal authorization to perform such function or action in such State or in the jurisdiction in which the function or action is performed''. (b) Certain Coverage Limits.--Section 1833 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395l) is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: ``(ee) Limitation on Payment of Services Provided by Certain Doctors of Chiropractic.--Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, in the case of services of a doctor of chiropractic described in section 1861(r)(5), payment may only be made under this part for such services if-- ``(1) such services are furnished by a doctor of chiropractic who is verified once, by a process designed by the Secretary, as attending an educational documentation webinar, or other similar electronic product, designed by the Secretary or an updated modified version of such webinar, as designed by the Secretary; or ``(2) such services are treatment by means of manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation.''. &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 ``Black Sea Security Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON BLACK SEA SECURITY. (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) it is in the interest of the United States to support efforts to prevent the spread of further armed conflict in Europe by recognizing the Black Sea region as an arena of Russian aggression; (2) littoral states of the Black Sea are critical in countering aggression by the Government of the Russian Federation and contributing to the collective security of NATO; (3) the repeated, illegal, unprovoked, and violent attempts of the Russian Federation to expand its territory and control access to the Mediterranean Sea through the Black Sea constitutes a threat to the national security of the United States and NATO; (4) the United States condemns attempts by the Russian Federation to change or alter boundaries in the Black Sea region by force or any means contrary to international law and to impose a sphere of influence across the region; (5) the United States and its allies should robustly counter Russia's illegitimate territorial claims on the Crimean Peninsula, along Ukraine's territorial waters in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, in the Black Sea's international waters, and in the territories it is illegally occupying in Ukraine; (6) the United States should continue to work within NATO and with NATO Allies to develop a long-term strategy to enhance security, establish a permanent, sustainable presence along NATO's eastern flank, and bolster the democratic resilience of its allies and partners in the region; (7) the United States should work within NATO and with NATO Allies to develop a regular, rotational maritime presence in the Black Sea; (8) the United States should also work with the European Union on coordinating a strategy to support democratic initiatives and economic prosperity in the region, which includes two European Union members and four European Union aspirant nations; (9) Turkey's behavior towards some regional allies and democratic states has been counterproductive and has contributed to increased tensions in the region, and Turkey should avoid any actions to further escalate regional tensions; (10) the United States should work to foster dialogue among countries within the Black Sea region to improve communication and intelligence sharing and increase cyber defense capabilities; (11) countries with historic and economic ties to Russia are looking to the United States and Europe to provide a positive economic presence in the broader region as a counterbalance to the Russian Federation's malign influence in the region; (12) it is in the interest of the United States to support and bolster the economic ties between the United States and Black Sea states; (13) the United States should support the initiative undertaken by central and eastern European states to advance the Three Seas Initiative Fund to strengthen transport, energy, and digital infrastructure connectivity in the region between the Adriatic Sea, Baltic Sea, and Black Sea; (14) there are mutually beneficial opportunities for increased investment and economic expansion, particularly on energy, climate, and transport infrastructure initiatives, between the United States and Black Sea states and the broader region; (15) improved economic ties between the United States and the Black Sea states and the broader region can lead to a strengthened strategic partnership; (16) the United States must seek to address the food security challenges arising from disruption of Ukraine's Black Sea and Azov Sea ports, as this global challenge will have critical national security implications for the United States, our partners, and allies; (17) Turkey, in coordination with the United Nations, has played an important role in alleviating global food insecurity by negotiating two agreements to allow grain exports from Ukrainian ports through a safe corridor in the Black Sea; (18) Russia has a brutal history of using hunger as a weapon and must be stopped; (19) countering the PRC's coercive economic pursuits remains an important policy imperative in order to further integrate the Black Sea states into western economies and improve regional stability; and (20) Turkey's continued delay in ratifying Sweden and Finland's accession to NATO undermines the strength of the alliance and inhibits the united international response to Russia's unprovoked war in Ukraine. SEC. 3. UNITED STATES POLICY. It is the policy of the United States to-- (1) actively deter the threat of Russia's further escalation in the Black Sea region and defend freedom of navigation in the Black Sea to prevent the spread of further armed conflict in Europe; (2) advocate within NATO, among NATO Allies, and within the European Union to develop a long-term coordinated strategy to enhance security, establish a permanent, sustainable presence in the eastern flank, and bolster the democratic resilience of United States allies and partners in the region; (3) advocate within NATO and among NATO Allies to develop a regular, rotational maritime presence in the Black Sea; (4) support and bolster the economic ties between the United States and Black Sea partners and mobilize the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and other relevant Federal departments and agencies by enhancing the United States presence and investment in Black Sea states; (5) provide economic alternatives to the PRC's coercive economic options that destabilize and further erode economic integration of the Black Sea states; (6) ensure that the United States continues to support Black Sea states' efforts to strengthen their democratic institutions to prevent corruption and accelerate their advancement into the Euroatlantic community; and (7) encourage the initiative undertaken by central and eastern European states to advance the Three Seas Initiative to strengthen transport, energy, and digital infrastructure connectivity in the region between the Adriatic Sea, Baltic Sea, and Black Sea.

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 ``Healthy Drinking Water Affordability Act'' or the ``Healthy H2O Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds that-- (1) clean and safe drinking water is necessary to ensure public health and a vibrant economy; (2) communities that are dependent on private groundwater supplies to meet domestic drinking water needs, as well as those that continue to experience drinking water infrastructure challenges from public water supplies, including with infrastructure into and within households and living facilities, are disproportionately impacted by drinking water quality issues; (3) in many instances, those communities and their households have been adversely impacted by the presence of 1 or more naturally occurring and human-caused contaminants found in drinking water, such as lead, arsenic, nitrate, nitrite, and volatile organic compounds, as well as federally unregulated contaminants, including perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances and hexavalent chromium (chrome-6), in local groundwater or other drinking water supplies; (4) public health organizations and institutions, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have cited giardia, enterovirus, radon, rotovirus, norovirus, shigella, campylobacter, salmonella, hepatitis A, cryptosporidium, and e. coli as among the major diseases and contaminants that can be present in drinking water sources; (5) investments in projects to improve and support drinking water infrastructure are critically important to addressing water quality in the United States, but because those projects can typically take many years to complete, the current, and in some cases the ongoing, needs of communities impacted with immediate drinking water quality challenges cannot be or are not addressed in a timely manner; (6) as an interim measure (and in some cases in rural areas, for longer term or permanently), point-of-entry and point-of-use water quality improvement products are viable solutions to address drinking water contamination challenges for the people of the United States; and (7) grants provided under this Act are intended to provide financial assistance for eligible grant recipients (as defined in section 306F(a) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (as added by section 3)) that voluntarily seek to improve the quality of the drinking water of eligible end users (as defined in that section), and not to demonstrate that an eligible end user is in compliance with a Federal, State, or local primary drinking water standard or regulation.
