acting jointly who take, an action described in
subsection (h)(1)(A), that the individual or 2 or more
individuals reasonably believe relates to a violation
of any law, rule, or regulation subject to the
jurisdiction of the Commission, the Public Company

and
(2) in subsection (h)(1)--
(A) in subparagraph (A)--
(i) in the matter preceding clause (i), by
inserting ``or post-employment'' after ``of
employment'';

writing or orally if the oral report is
documented,'' after ``to the Commission'';
(iii) in clause (ii), by striking ``or'' at
the end;
(iv) in clause (iii), by striking the
period at the end and inserting ``; or''; and
(v) by adding at the end the following:
``(iv) in providing information regarding
any conduct that the whistleblower reasonably
believes constitutes a violation of any law,
rule, or regulation subject to the jurisdiction
of the Commission to--
``(I) a person with supervisory
authority over the whistleblower at the
employer of the whistleblower, if that
employer is an entity registered with,
or required to be registered with, or
otherwise subject to the jurisdiction
of, the Commission, the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board, a self-
regulatory organization, or a State
securities commission or office
performing like functions; or
``(II) another individual working
for the employer described in subclause
(I) who the whistleblower reasonably
believes has the authority to--
``(aa) investigate,
discover, or terminate the

(B) in subparagraph (B), by adding at the end the
following:
``(iv) Jury trial.--A person against which
an action is brought under this subsection

(2) filed after the date of enactment of this Act.

initial disposition with respect to a claim
submitted by a whistleblower for an award under
this section (referred to in this paragraph as
an `award claim') not later than the later of--
``(I) the date that is 1 year after
the deadline established by the
Commission, by rule, for the
whistleblower to file the award claim;
or
``(II) the date that is 1 year
after the final resolution of all
litigation, including any appeals,
concerning the covered action or
related action.
``(ii) Multiple actions.--If an award claim
involves 1 or more related actions, the
requirement under clause (i) shall apply with
respect to the latest deadline with respect to
the actions.
``(B) Exceptions.--
``(i) Initial extension.--If the Director
of the Division of Enforcement of the
Commission (referred to in this paragraph as
the `Director'), or the designee of the
Director, determines that an award claim is
sufficiently complex or involves more than 1
whistleblower, or if other good cause exists
such that the Commission cannot reasonably
satisfy the requirements under subparagraph
(A), as determined by the Director or the
designee, as applicable, the Director or the
designee, after providing notice to the
Chairman of the Commission (referred to in this
paragraph as the `Chairman'), may extend the
deadline with respect to the satisfaction of
those requirements by not more than 180 days.
``(ii) Additional extensions.--If, after
providing an extension under clause (i), the
Director, or the designee of the Director,
determines that good cause exists such that the
Commission cannot reasonably satisfy the
requirement under subparagraph (A), the
Director or the designee of the Director, may
extend the deadline described in clause (i) as
needed for 1 or more additional successive 180-
day periods only after providing notice to and
receiving approval from the Commission.
``(iii) Notice to whistleblower required.--
If the Director, or the designee of the
Director, exercises authority under clause (i)
or (ii), the Director or the designee, as
applicable, shall submit to the whistleblower
who filed the award claim that is subject to
that action by the Director or the designee a
written notification of that action.
``(C) Applicability.--This paragraph shall apply
only to an award claim that the Director of the
designee of the Director determines is timely submitted
under a deadline established by the Commission after
the date of enactment of this paragraph.''.
SEC. 4. NONENFORCEABILITY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS.
(a) In General.--Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(15 U.S.C. 78u-6) is amended by adding at the end the following:

remedies provided in this section may not be waived by any
agreement, policy form, or condition of employment, including
by a predispute arbitration agreement.

this section.''.
(b) Applicability.--Subsection (k) of section 21F of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78u-6), as added by subsection (a),
shall apply with respect to any action that is filed on or after, or
that is pending as of, the date of enactment of this Act.
SEC. 5. RULEMAKING AUTHORITY.
The Securities and Exchange Commission may issue any rules that are
necessary or appropriate to carry out this Act consistent with the
purposes of section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 15, 2023
Mr. Durbin (for himself and Mrs. Shaheen) introduced the following
bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Romania Visa Waiver Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that the Government of Romania should--
(1) undertake all steps necessary to prepare Romania for
participation in the visa waiver program under section 217 of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1187) by
developing a strategy to meet all criteria for the program; and
(2) continue to advance robust efforts to eliminate

recommendations outlined in the report of the Department of
State entitled ``Trafficking in Persons Report'' issued in July
2022.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. 815
To award a Congressional Gold Medal to the female telephone operators
of the Army Signal Corps, known as the ``Hello Girls''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 15, 2023
Mr. Tester (for himself, Mr. Moran, Ms. Hassan, and Mrs. Blackburn)
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 to the female telephone operators
of the Army Signal Corps, known as the ``Hello Girls''.
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 ``Hello Girls Congressional Gold Medal
Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) On April 6, 1917, the United States declared war
against Germany. As a historically neutral nation, the United
States was unprepared to fight a technologically modern
conflict overseas. The United States called upon American
Telephone and Telegraph (referred to in this section as
``AT&T'') to provide equipment and trained personnel for the
Army Signal Corps in France. AT&T executives in Army uniform
served at home under the provisions of the Act entitled ``An
Act for making further and more effectual provision for the
national defense, and for other purposes.'', approved June 3,
1916 (referred to in this section as the ``National Defense Act
of 1916''), which allowed for the induction of individuals with
specialized skills into a reserve force.
(2) When General John Pershing sailed for Europe in May of
1917 as head of the American Expeditionary Forces (referred to
in this section as the ``AEF''), he took telephone operating
equipment with him in recognition of the inadequacy of European
circuitry and with the understanding that telephones would play
a key role in battlefield communications for the first time in
the history of war.
(3) From May to November of 1917, the AEF struggled to
develop the telephone service necessary for the Army to
function under battlefield conditions. Monolingual infantrymen
from the United States were unable to connect calls rapidly or
communicate effectively with their French counterparts to put
calls through over toll lines that linked one region of the
country with another. The Army found that the average male
operator required 60 seconds to make a connection. That rate
was unacceptably slow, especially for operational calls between
command outposts and the front lines.
(4) During this time, in the United States, telephone
operating was largely sex-segregated. Hired for their speed in
connecting calls, women filled 85 percent of the telephone
operating positions in the United States. It took the average
female operator 10 seconds to make a connection.
(5) On November 8, 1917, General Pershing cabled the War
Department and wrote, ``On account of the great difficulty of
obtaining properly qualified men, request organization and
dispatch to France a force of women telephone operators all
speaking French and English equally well.''. To begin, General
Pershing requested 100 women under the command of a
commissioned captain, writing that ``All should have allowances
of Army nurses and should be uniformed.''.
(6) The War Department sent press releases to newspapers
across the United States to recruit women willing to serve for
the duration of the war and face the hazards of submarine
warfare and aerial bombardment. These articles emphasized that
patriotic women would be ``full-fledged soldier[s] under the
articles of war'' and would ``do as much to help win the war as
the men in khaki who go `over the top.'''. All women selected
would take the Army oath.
(7) More than 7,600 women volunteered for the 100 positions
described in paragraph (5) and the first recruits took the Army
oath on January 15, 1918.
(8) Like nurses and doctors at the time, female Signal
Corps members had relative rather than traditional ranks and
were ranked as Operator, Supervisor, or Chief Operator. When
promoted, the women were required to swear the Army oath again.
(9) Telephone operators were the first women to serve as
soldiers in non-medical classifications and the job of the
operators was to help win the war, not to mitigate the harms of
the war. In popular parlance, they were known as the ``Hello
Girls''.
(10) Signal Corps Operators wore Army uniforms and Army
insignia always, as well as standard-issue identity disks in
case of death, and were subject to court martial for
infractions of the military code.
(11) Unbeknownst to the women operators and their immediate
officers, the legal counsel of the Army ruled internally on
March 20, 1918, that the women were not actually soldiers but
contract employees, even though the women had not seen or
signed any contracts. Military code allowed only for the
induction of men, and the code remained unchanged despite the
orders of General Pershing. Nevertheless, legal counsel also
recognized that the National Defense Act of 1916, which allowed
for the induction of members of the telephone industry of the
United States into the Armed Forces, imposed no gender
restrictions.
(12) Four days later, on March 24, 1918, the first
contingent of operators began their official duties in France.
The operators arrived before most infantrymen of the Armed
Forces in order to facilitate logistics and deployment and
spent their first night in Paris under German bombardment.
(13) After the arrival of the operators, telephone service
in France improved immediately, as calls tripled from 13,000 to
36,000 per day.
(14) The Army quickly recruited, trained, and deployed 5
additional contingents of female Signal Corps operators. With
these personnel, the number of calls increased to 150,000 per
day.
(15) In addition to standard telephone operating, bilingual
Signal Corps members provided simultaneous translation between
officers from France and officers from the United States, who
were communicating by telephone.
(16) The AEF fought their first major battles in the last 2
months of the war. By that point, the Signal Corps considered
the contributions of women to be so essential that, in
telephone exchanges closest to the front line, the Army
exclusively used women, in rotating 12-hour shifts. In the
rear, the Army established rotating 8-hour shifts and gave male
soldiers the overnight shift when telephone traffic was slower.
(17) Seven bilingual operators--
(A) served at the Battles of St. Mihiel and Meuse-
Argonne under the immediate command of General
Pershing;
(B) staffed the Operations Boards through which
orders to advance, fire, and retreat were delivered to
soldiers in the trenches, to artillery units on alert,
and to pilots awaiting orders at French airfields; and
(C) were awarded a ``Defensive Sector Clasp'' for
the Meuse-Argonne operation.
(18) The Chief Operator supervising the Hello Girls, Grace
Banker of Passaic, New Jersey, was awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal. Out of 16,000 eligible Signal Corps officers,
Banker was one of only 18 individuals so honored.
(19) Thirty additional operators received special
commendations, many signed by General Pershing himself, for
``exceptionally meritorious and conspicuous services'' in
``Advance Sections'' of the conflict.
(20) The war ended on November 11, 1918. As of that date,
223 female operators served in France and had connected
26,000,000 calls for the AEF.
(21) The Chief Signal Officer of the Army Signal Corps
wrote in his official report 2 days after the date on which the
war ended that ``a large part of the success of the
communications of this Army is due to . . . a competent staff
of women operators.''.
(22) After the war ended, some women were ordered to
Coblenz in Germany for the occupation of that country and to
Paris for the Paris Peace Treaty of 1919 to continue telephone
operations, sometimes in direct support of President Woodrow
Wilson.
(23) Two operators, Corah Bartlett and Inez Crittenden,
died in France in the service of the United States and were
buried there in military cemeteries with military ceremonies.
Those operators died of the same influenza pandemic that killed
more soldiers of the Armed Forces than combat operations.
(24) Women of the Army Signal Corps were ineligible for
discharge until formal release. Because of their role in
logistics, those women were among the last soldiers to come
home to the United States. The last Signal Corps operators
returned from France in January of 1920.
(25) Upon arrival in the United States, the Army informed
female veterans that they had performed as civilians, not
soldiers, even though operators had served in Army uniform in a
theater of war surrounded by men who were similarly engaged.
(26) Despite the objections of General George Squier, the
top-ranking officer in the Signal Corps, the Army denied Signal
Corps women the veterans' benefits granted to male soldiers and
female nurses, such as--
(A) hospitalization for disabilities incurred in
the line of duty;
(B) cash bonuses;
(C) soldiers' pensions;
(D) flags on their coffins; and
(E) the Victory Medals promised them in France.
(27) For the next 60 years, female veterans, led by Merle
Egan from Montana, petitioned Congress more than 50 times for
their recognition. In 1977, under the sponsorship of Senator
Barry Goldwater, Congress passed legislation to retroactively
acknowledge the military service of the Women's Airforce
Service Pilots (referred to in this section as ``WASPs'') of
World War II and ``the service of any person in any other
similarly situated group the members of which rendered service
to the Armed Forces of the United States in a capacity
considered civilian employment or contractual service at the
time such service was rendered''.
(28) On November 23, 1977, President Jimmy Carter signed
the legislation described in paragraph (27) into law as the GI
Bill Improvement Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-202; 91 Stat.
1433).
(29) The Signal Corps telephone operators applied for, and
were granted, status as veterans in 1979.
(30) Only 33 of the operators who had returned home after
the war were still alive to receive their Victory Medals and
official discharge papers, which were finally awarded in 1979.
(31) One of the women, Olive Shaw from Massachusetts,
returned to the United States after the war, where she worked
on the professional staff of Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers.
Shaw lived to receive her honorable discharge and was the first
burial when the Massachusetts National Cemetery opened on
October 11, 1980. Shaw's uniform is on display at the National
World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri.
(32) Upon receipt of her honorable discharge at a ceremony
in her home in Marine City, Michigan, ``Hello Girl'' Oleda
Joure Christides raised the paper to her lips and kissed it.
The only thing Christides ever wanted from the Federal
Government was a flag on her coffin.
(33) On July 1, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into
law Public Law 111-40 (123 Stat. 1958), which awarded the WASPs
the Congressional Gold Medal for their service to the United
States.
(34) For their role as pioneers who paved the way for all
women in uniform, and for service that was essential to victory
in World War I, the ``Hello Girls'' merit similar recognition.
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 Congress, of a single gold
medal of appropriate design in honor of the female telephone operators
of the Army Signal Corps (commonly known as the ``Hello Girls''), in
recognition of those operators'--
(1) pioneering military service;
(2) devotion to duty; and
(3) 60-year struggle for--
(A) recognition as soldiers; and
(B) veterans' benefits.
(b) Design and Striking.--For the purposes of the award described
in subsection (a), the Secretary of the Treasury (referred to in this
Act as the ``Secretary'') shall strike the gold medal with suitable
emblems, devices, and inscriptions, to be determined by the Secretary.
(c) Smithsonian Institution.--
(1) In general.--After the award of the gold medal under
subsection (a), the medal shall be given to the Smithsonian
Institution, where the medal shall be available for display, as
appropriate, and made available for research.
(2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the Smithsonian Institution should make the gold medal received
under paragraph (1) available elsewhere, particularly at--
(A) appropriate locations associated with--
(i) the Army Signal Corps;
(ii) the Women in Military Service for
America Memorial;
(iii) the U.S. Army Women's Museum; and
(iv) the National World War I Museum and
Memorial; and
(B) any other location determined appropriate by
the Smithsonian Institution.
SEC. 4. DUPLICATE MEDALS.
Under such regulations as the Secretary may prescribe, the
Secretary may strike and sell duplicates in bronze of the gold medal
struck 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. NATIONAL MEDALS.
(a) National Medals.--Medals struck under this Act are national
medals for purposes of chapter 51 of title 31, United States Code.
(b) Numismatic Items.--For purposes of section 5134 of title 31,
United States Code, all medals struck under this Act shall be
considered to be numismatic items.

This Act may be cited as the ``Maximizing Opioid Recovery Emergency

(2) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
``(D) Affordable access to evidence-based opioid

``(i) In general.--The model described in

``(III) Recovery support services
to maintain a healthy lifestyle
following opioid misuse treatment, such
as peer counseling and transportation.
``(ii) Selection of sites.--The CMI shall
select 15 States in which to conduct the model
under this subparagraph. A State shall meet
each of the following criteria in order to be
selected under the preceding sentence:
``(I) The State has a high
proportion of Medicare beneficiaries.
``(II) The State has a high rate of
overdose deaths due to opioids.
``(III) The State has a significant
percentage of rural areas.
``(iii) Termination and modification
provision not applicable for first five years
of the model.--The provisions of paragraph
(3)(B) shall apply to the model under this
subparagraph beginning on the date that is five
years after such model is implemented, but
shall not apply to such model prior to such
date.''.
SEC. 3. COVERAGE OF OPIOID TREATMENTS.
(a) In General.--Title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act is
amended by inserting after section 2719A (42 U.S.C. 300gg-19a) the
following:
``SEC. 2720. COVERAGE OF OPIOID TREATMENTS.
``A group health plan and a health insurance issuer offering group
or individual health insurance coverage shall, at a minimum, provide
coverage for and shall not impose any cost-sharing requirements for--
``(1) prescription drugs for the treatment of opioid use
disorders or to reverse overdose;
``(2) behavioral health services for the treatment of
opioid use disorders, including treatment of opioid use
disorders in non-hospital residential facilities licensed to
provide such treatment; or
``(3) community recovery support services that are provided
in conjunction with, where appropriate, medication-assisted
treatment for an opioid use disorder, such as peer counseling
and transportation, to support the enrollee in maintaining a
healthy lifestyle following opioid misuse treatment.''.
(b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall
apply with respect to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2025.
SEC. 4. ENHANCED FEDERAL MATCH FOR MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT AND
RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES UNDER MEDICAID.
(a) In General.--Section 1905(b) of the Social Security Act (42

``Notwithstanding the first sentence of this subsection, during the
portion of the period described in subsection (a)(29) that begins on
the date of enactment of this sentence, the Federal medical assistance
percentage shall be 90 percent with respect to amounts expended during
such portion of such period by a State that is one of the 50 States or
the District of Columbia as medical assistance for medication-assisted
treatment (as defined in subsection (ee)(1)).''.
(b) State Option To Provide Recovery Support Services as Part of
Medication-Assisted Treatment.--Section 1905(ee)(1) of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396d(ee)(1)) is amended--
(1) in subparagraph (A), by striking ``; and'' and
inserting a semicolon;
(2) in subparagraph (B), by striking the period at the end
and inserting ``; and''; and
(3) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
``(C) at the option of a State, includes recovery

conjunction with the provision of such drugs and
biological products to support the individual in
maintaining a healthy lifestyle following opioid misuse
treatment.''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Immigration plays a defining role in the identity of
the United States. Families throughout the United States have
roots in the immigration experience of earlier generations of
immigrants who came to the United States seeking better
opportunities, safety from persecution, and ultimately, a
chance at the American dream.
(2) While the ancestors of some families arrived centuries
ago, other families are continuing that tradition today.
Approximately 38,000,000 second-generation Americans are living
in the United States. As of 2020, 17,800,000 children in the
United States, or 26 percent, lived with 1 or more immigrant
parents. Just over 1 in 4 residents of the United States is an
immigrant or the child of immigrants. As of 2020, immigrants
account for 13.7 percent of the United States population.
(3) In the United States--
(A) 16,700,000 individuals live in a household with
1 or more family members who are not authorized to be
in the United States;
(B) 5,900,000 United States citizen children live
in a household with 1 or more family members who are
not authorized to be in the United States; and
(C) 8,000,000 United States citizens live in a
household with 1 or more family members who are not
authorized to be in the United States.
(4) Children of immigrants are the future workers, leaders,
voters, parents, and taxpayers of the United States and are
critical to the health and well-being of the United States.
(5) Second-generation Americans closely reflect or exceed
the national average household income, homeownership rate, and
college graduation rate.
(6) In their pursuit of the American dream, generations of
immigrant families have contributed to their communities in the
United States and will continue to do so, including as
essential workers who keep the United States running at great
risk to themselves and their families.
(7) Immigrants play a critical role in the United States
economy, and providing a path to citizenship for undocumented
immigrants is a necessary part of maintaining the economic
strength of the United States.
(8) Immigrant entrepreneurs account for almost 30 percent
of all new entrepreneurs in the United States, and immigrants
are almost twice as likely as the United States-born population
to become entrepreneurs.
(9) Undocumented immigrants contribute over $11,000,000,000
in State and local taxes each year.
(10) Removing undocumented residents from mixed-status
households cuts the median income of such households by 47
percent.
(11) Removing all undocumented workers from the workforce
would reduce cumulative gross domestic product over 10 years by
$4,700,000,000,000.
(12) Approximately 1,200,000 mortgages are held by
households with 1 or more undocumented individuals.
(13) Indiscriminate immigration enforcement and the threat
of immigration enforcement negatively impact the health,
development, and well-being of children at risk of separation
from a loved one due to detention or removal from the United
States. Neurobiological research demonstrates the acute and
lasting trauma that family separation, and the threat of
separation, causes in children, such as changes in the
architecture of the brain and increased likelihood to
experience emotional and behavioral issues, depression,
anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicidal ideation.

abortions, to prohibit the use of travel and transportation allowances,
medical convalescent leave, and administrative absences to travel to
obtain abortions, 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 ``Modification to Department of
Defense Travel Authorities for Abortion-Related Expenses Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. TERMINATION OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MEMORANDUM RELATING TO
ACCESS TO ABORTIONS.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) consistent with section 1093 of title 10, United States
Code, the Department of Defense may not use any funds for
abortions except in a case in which the life of the mother
would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term or in
which the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest;
(2) the Secretary of Defense has no legal authority to
implement any policies under which funds are to be used for
that purpose; and
(3) the Department of Defense memorandum entitled
``Ensuring Access to Reproductive Health Care'', dated October
20, 2022, is therefore in direct conflict with section 1093 of
title 10, United States Code, and the intent of Congress, and
must be rescinded.
(b) Termination of Memorandum.--
(1) In general.--The Department of Defense memorandum
entitled ``Ensuring Access to Reproductive Health Care'', dated
October 20, 2022, shall have no force or effect.
(2) Prohibition on availability of funds to carry out
memorandum.--None of the funds authorized to be appropriated or
otherwise made available to the Department of Defense may be
obligated or expended to carry out the memorandum described in
paragraph (1) or any successor to such memorandum.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON PROVISION OF TRAVEL AND TRANSPORTATION
ALLOWANCES TO OBTAIN ABORTIONS.
(a) In General.--Section 452 of title 37, United States Code, is
amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(j) Prohibition on Allowances To Obtain Abortions.--The Secretary
of Defense may not provide transportation-, lodging-, meals-in-kind, or
any actual or necessary expenses of travel or transportation, for, or
in connection with, official travel under circumstances as specified in
regulations prescribed under section 464 of this title for a member of
the Armed Forces or a dependent of such a member seeking an abortion or
any abortion-related service, except in a case in which the life of the
mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term or the
pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest.''.
(b) Prohibition on Considering Limited Access to Abortions as
Unusual, Extraordinary, Hardship, or Emergency Circumstances.--Section
453(d) of title 37, United States Code, is amended--
(1) by inserting ``(1)'' before ``An authorized traveler'';
and
(2) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
``(2) The access of a member of the Armed Forces or a dependent of
such a member to an abortion or abortion-related services being limited
because of the duty location of the member does not constitute an
unusual, extraordinary, hardship, or emergency circumstance for the
purposes of section 452 of title 37, United States Code, except in a
case in which the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus
were carried to term or the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape
or incest.''.
SEC. 4. PROHIBITION ON USE OF MEDICAL CONVALESCENT LEAVE OR
ADMINISTRATIVE ABSENCES FOR TRAVEL TO OBTAIN ABORTIONS.
(a) In General.--Chapter 40 of title 10, United States Code, is
amended by inserting after section 701 the following new section:
``Sec. 701a. Prohibition on use of medical convalescent leave or
administrative absences for travel to obtain abortions
``A member of the Armed Forces may not take convalescent leave
under section 701(m) or use an administrative absence for travel for
the purposes of obtaining an abortion or abortion-related service,
except in a case in which the life of the mother would be endangered if
the fetus were carried to term or the pregnancy is the result of an act
of rape or incest.''.
(b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections at the beginning of
chapter 40 of such title is amended by inserting after the item
relating to section 701 the following new item:
``701a. Prohibition on use of medical convalescent leave or
administrative absences for travel to
obtain abortions.''.
SEC. 5. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.
(a) In General.--Nothing in this Act or an amendment made by this
Act may be construed to affect the treatment of any infection, injury,
disease, or disorder that has been caused by or exacerbated by the
performance of an abortion.
(b) Applicability.--Subsection (a) applies without regard to
whether--
(1) the abortion was performed in accordance with Federal
or State law; or
(2) funding for the abortion is permissible under section
1093 of title 10, United States Code.

SEC. 4. NOTICE PROCESS FOR COMPANIES HOSTING PROHIBITED CONTENT.
(a) In General.--A social media company shall--
(1) provide a notice process for persons to make the
company aware that the company is hosting or distributing
content in apparent violation of section 3(a); and
(2)(A) designate an agent of the company to receive notice
under the notice process described in paragraph (1); and

child sexual abuse material.
(2) Information reasonably sufficient to permit the agent
receiving the notice to contact the person, such as an address,

(B) failed to disable access to or remove the
visual depiction during the 10-day period beginning on
the date of the notice described in subparagraph (A).

notice process required under subsection (a) of this section.
(e) Determination by Social Media Company That Visual Depiction Is
Not Child Sexual Abuse Material.--If a social media company receives

including any evidence and information received under
section 4(e), shall be served on the Government
pursuant to Rule 4(i) of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure.
(B) Election to intervene.--Not later than 30 days
after the Government receives both the complaint and
the material evidence and information under
subparagraph (A), the Government shall--
(i) intervene and proceed with the action,
in which case the action shall be solely
conducted by the Government; or
(ii) notify the court that the Government
declines to take over the action, in which case
the person bringing the action shall have the
right to conduct the action.
(3) No intervention or related actions by other parties.--
When a person brings an action under this subsection, no person
other than the Government may intervene or bring a related
action based on the facts underlying the pending action.
(b) Rights of the Parties to Qui Tam Actions.--

person bringing the action; and
(B) the person who initiated the action shall not
have the right to continue as a party to the action.
(2) Limitation on dismissal by government.--The Government
may dismiss an action brought under subsection (a) if the
Government determines, based on a thorough and good faith
examination of the material evidence and information presented
to the Government, that the content alleged to be hosted or
distributed in violation of section 3(a) is not child sexual
abuse material.
(3) Limitation on settlement by government.--The Government
may settle an action brought under subsection (a) with the
defendant if the court determines, after a hearing, that the
proposed settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable under all
the circumstances.
(4) Private prosecution.--
(A) In general.--If the Government elects not to
proceed with an action under subsection (a), the person
who initiated the action shall have the right to
conduct the action.

so requests, the Government shall be served with copies
of all pleadings filed in the action and shall be

plaintiff.--Whether or not the Government proceeds with
an action under subsection (a), if the court finds that
the action was brought by a person who planned and
initiated the violation of section 3(a) upon which the
action was brought, then the court may, to the extent
the court considers appropriate, reduce the share of
the proceeds of the action that the person would
otherwise receive under paragraph (1) or (2) of this
subsection, taking into account the role of the person
in advancing the case to litigation and any relevant
circumstances pertaining to the violation.
(B) Criminal conviction.--
(i) Dismissal of party.--If the person
bringing an action under subsection (a) is
convicted of criminal conduct arising from the
person's role in the violation of section 3(a),
the person--
(I) shall be dismissed from the
action; and
(II) may not receive any share of

action.--A dismissal under clause (i) shall not
prejudice the right of the United States to
continue the action, represented by the

the Government does not proceed with an action under subsection
(a) and the person bringing the action conducts the action, the
court may award to the defendant its reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses if the defendant prevails in the action.
(d) Certain Actions Barred.--A person may not bring an action under
subsection (a) that is based on allegations that are the subject of a
civil action to which the Government is already a party.
(e) Dismissal by Court.--The court shall dismiss an action or claim
brought under subsection (a) if, as determined based on facts found by
the court, the content alleged to be hosted or distributed in violation
of section 3(a) is not child sexual abuse material.
(f) Government Not Liable for Certain Expenses.--The Government is
not liable for expenses that a person incurs in bringing an action
under subsection (a).

Nothing in section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C.

brought under this section.

(2) Governments perpetrating transnational repression often
pressure host countries, especially--
(A) through threats to condition foreign assistance
or other pressure campaigns on lawmakers in host
countries, such as threats--
(i) to withdraw foreign students from their
universities; and
(ii) to induce them to enact policies that
repress emigrant and diaspora communities; and
(B) by offering financial and material assistance
to host countries to harass and intimidate emigrant and
diaspora communities.
(3) Transnational repression is a threat to individuals,
democratic institutions, the exercise of rights and freedoms,
and national security and sovereignty.
(4) Authoritarian governments increasingly rely on
transnational repression as their consolidation of control at
home pushes dissidents abroad.
(5) The spread of digital technologies provides new tools
for censoring, surveilling, and targeting individuals deemed to
be threats across international borders, especially dissidents
pushed abroad who themselves rely on communications technology
to amplify their messages, which can often lead to physical
attacks and coercion by proxy.
(6) Many acts of transnational repression are undertaken
through cooperation of, or cooperation with, authorities in the
host country, most notably by taking advantage of other States'
concerns about terrorism to accuse the targeted individual of
terrorism or extremism.
(7) Authoritarian actors routinely attempt to deter and
silence the voices of dissident and exile communities at
international fora, as documented by the United Nations
Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights in the Secretary-
General's annual report on reprisals to the United Nations
Human Rights Council.
(8) The principle of non-refoulement, which is explicitly
included in the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel,
Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, done at New York
December 10, 1984--
(A) forms an essential protection under
international law; and
(B) prohibits countries from expelling or returning
an individual to another country where the individual's
life or freedom would be threatened on account of the
individual's race, religion, nationality, membership in
a particular social group, or political opinion, or due
to substantial grounds for believing that the
individual would be at risk of torture.
SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.
It is the policy of the United States--
(1) to protect persons in the United States and United
States persons outside of the United States from undue foreign
harassment, intimidation, coercion, and surveillance in
accordance with section 6 of the Arms Export Control Act (22
U.S.C. 2756);
(2) to pursue criminal prosecutions, as appropriate, and
carry out other steps, such as facilitating mutual legal
assistance and other forms of international cooperation with
like-minded partners, in accordance with United States law, to
hold foreign governments and individuals accountable when they
stalk, publish false narratives online with the intent to
unlawfully intimidate, harass, coerce, or assault people in the
United States or United States persons outside of the United
States or collect information while acting as a foreign agent
in the United States without notifying United States
authorities; and
(3) to prohibit the arrest or seizure of assets of any
individual based solely on an INTERPOL Red Notice or Diffusion
issued by another INTERPOL member country for such individual
because such notices do not meet the requirements of the Fourth
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
SEC. 4. AMENDMENTS TO ANNUAL COUNTRY REPORTS ON HUMAN RIGHTS PRACTICES.
Section 116 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151n)

any court proceeding over which that judge presides.
(B) Exception.--The presiding judge shall not
permit any action under subparagraph (A), if--
(i) in the case of a proceeding involving
only the presiding judge, that judge determines
the action would constitute a violation of the
due process rights of any party; or
(ii) in the case of a proceeding involving
the participation of more than one judge, a

to effectuate this Act be made without public expense.

1st Session
S. 835
To amend title 17, United States Code, to reaffirm the importance of,
and include requirements for, works incorporated by reference into law,
and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 16, 2023
Mr. Coons (for himself, Mr. Cornyn, Mr. Tillis, and Mr. Whitehouse)
introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 17, United States Code, to reaffirm the importance of,
and include requirements for, works incorporated by reference into law,
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 ``Protecting and Enhancing Public
Access to Codes Act'' or the ``Pro Codes Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Congress, the executive branch, and State and local
governments have long recognized that the people of the United
States benefit greatly from the work of private standards
development organizations with expertise in highly specialized
areas.
(2) The organizations described in paragraph (1) create
technical standards and voluntary consensus standards through a
process requiring openness, balance, consensus, and due process
to ensure all interested parties have an opportunity to
participate in standards development.
(3) The standards that result from the process described in
paragraph (2) are used by private industry, academia, the
Federal Government, and State and local governments that
incorporate those standards by reference into laws and
regulations.
(4) The standards described in paragraph (3) further
innovation, commerce, and public safety, all without cost to
governments or taxpayers because standards development
organizations fund the process described in paragraph (2)
through the sale and licensing of their standards.
(5) Congress and the executive branch have repeatedly
declared that, wherever possible, governments should rely on
voluntary consensus standards and have set forth policies and
procedures by which those standards are incorporated by
reference into laws and regulations and that balance the
interests of access with protection for copyright.
(6) Circular A-119 of the Office of Management and Budget
entitled ``Federal Participation in the Development and Use of
Voluntary Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment
Activities'', issued in revised form on January 27, 2016,
recognizes the benefits of voluntary consensus standards and
incorporation by reference, stating that ``[i]f a standard is
used and published in an agency document, your agency must
observe and protect the rights of the copyright holder and meet
any other similar obligations.''.
(7) Federal agencies have relied extensively on the
incorporation by reference system to leverage the value of
technical standards and voluntary consensus standards for the
benefit of the public, resulting in more than 23,000 sections
in the Code of Federal Regulations that incorporate by
reference technical and voluntary consensus standards.
(8) State and local governments have also recognized that
technical standards and voluntary consensus standards are
critical to protecting public health and safety, which has
resulted in many such governments--
(A) incorporating those standards by reference into
their laws and regulations; or
(B) entering into license agreements with standards
development organizations to use the standards created
by those organizations.
(9) Standards development organizations rely on copyright
protection to generate the revenues necessary to fund the
voluntary consensus process and to continue creating and
updating these important standards.
(10) The people of the United States have a strong interest
in--
(A) ensuring that standards development
organizations continue to utilize a voluntary consensus
process--
(i) in which all interested parties can
participate; and
(ii) that continues to create and update
standards in a timely manner to--
(I) account for technological
advances;
(II) address new threats to public
health and safety; and
(III) improve the usefulness of
those standards; and
(B) the provision of access that allows people to
read technical and voluntary consensus standards that
are incorporated by reference into laws and
regulations.
(11) As of the date of enactment of this Act, many
standards development organizations make their standards
available to the public free of charge online in a manner that
does not substantially disrupt the ability of those
organizations to earn revenue from the industries and
professionals that purchase copies and subscription-access to
those standards (such as through read-only access), which
ensures that the public may read the current, accurate version
of such a standard without significantly interfering with the
revenue model that has long supported those organizations and
their creation of, and investment in, new standards.
(12) Through this Act, and the amendments made by this Act,
Congress intends to balance the goals of furthering the
creation of standards and ensuring public access to standards
that are incorporated by reference into law or regulation.
SEC. 3. WORKS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO LAW.
(a) In General.--Chapter 1 of title 17, United States Code, is
amended by adding at the end the following:
``Sec. 123. Works incorporated by reference into law
``(a) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) Circular a-119.--The term `Circular A-119' means
Circular A-119 of the Office of Management and Budget entitled
`Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary
Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment Activities',
issued in revised form on January 27, 2016.
``(2) Incorporated by reference.--
``(A) In general.--The term `incorporated by
reference' means, with respect to a standard, that the
text of a Federal, State, local, or municipal law or
regulation--
``(i) references all or part of the
standard; and
``(ii) does not copy the text of that
standard directly into that law or regulation.
``(B) Application.--The creation or publication of
a work that includes both the text of a law or
regulation and all or part of a standard that has been
incorporated by reference, as described in subparagraph
(A), shall not affect the status of the standard as
incorporated by reference under that subparagraph.
``(3) Standard.--The term `standard' means a standard or
code that is--
``(A) a technical standard, as that term is defined
in section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note); or
``(B) a voluntary consensus standard, as that term
is used for the purposes of Circular A-119.
``(4) Standards development organization.--The term
`standards development organization' means a holder of a
copyright under this title that plans, develops, establishes,
or coordinates voluntary consensus standards using procedures
that incorporate the attributes of openness, balance of
interests, due process, an appeals process, and consensus in a
manner consistent with the requirements of Circular A-119.
``(5) Publicly accessible online.--
``(A) In general.--The term `publicly accessible
online', with respect to material, means that the
material is displayed for review in a readily
accessible manner on a public website.
``(B) Rule of construction.--If a user is required
to create an account or agree to the terms of service
of a website or organization in order to access
material online, that requirement shall not be
construed to render the material not publicly
accessible online for the purposes of subparagraph (A),
if there is no monetary cost to the user to access that
material.
``(b) Standards Incorporated by Reference Into Law or Regulation.--
A standard to which copyright protection subsists under section 102(a)
at the time of its fixation shall retain such protection,
notwithstanding that the standard is incorporated by reference, if the
applicable standards development organization, within a reasonable
period of time after obtaining actual or constructive notice that the
standard has been incorporated by reference, makes all portions of the
standard so incorporated publicly accessible online at no monetary
cost.
``(c) Burden of Proof.--In any proceeding in which a party asserts
that a standards development organization has failed to comply with the
requirements under subsection (b) for retaining copyright protection
with respect to a standard, the burden of proof shall be on the party
making that assertion to prove that the standards development
organization has failed to comply with those requirements.''.
(b) Technical and Conforming Amendment.--The table of sections for
chapter 1 of title 17, United States Code, is amended by adding at the
end the following:
``123. Works incorporated by reference into law.''.

<p><b>Improving Access to Mental Health Act of </b><b>2023</b></p> <p>This bill increases the Medicare reimbursement rate for clinical social worker services. The bill excludes clinical social worker services from the prospective payment system in which predetermined amounts form the basis for payment under Medicare.</p> <p>Additionally, the bill alters the definition of <em>clinical social worker services</em> as it relates to Medicare. Under current law, such services (1) include services performed for the diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses, and (2) exclude services furnished to an inpatient of a skilled nursing facility as a condition of the facility's participation in the Medicare program. The bill repeals these provisions and instead specifies that such services include certain types of health behavior assessment and intervention.</p>

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 16, 2023
Mr. Thune (for himself and Mr. Lankford) introduced the following bill;
which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security
and Governmental Affairs
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require agencies to complete a regulatory impact analysis before
issuing a significant rule, 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 ``Regulatory Transparency Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.
Section 601 of title 5, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in paragraph (6), by striking ``and'' at the end;
(2) in paragraph (7) by striking the period at the end and
inserting a semicolon;
(3) in paragraph (8)--
(A) by striking ``Recordkeeping requirement.--The''
and inserting ``the''; and
(B) by striking the period at the end and inserting
``; and''; and
(4) by adding at the end the following:
``(9) the term `significant rule' means any final rule that
the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs of the Office of Management and Budget determines is
likely to--
``(A) have an annual effect on the economy of
$100,000,000 or more or adversely affect in a material
way the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity,
competition, jobs, the environment, public health or
safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or
communities;
``(B) create a significant inconsistency or
otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by
another Federal agency;
``(C) materially alter the budgetary impact of
entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan programs or
the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; or
``(D) raise novel legal or policy issues.''.
SEC. 3. REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSES; CONSIDERATION OF SUNSET DATES.
(a) In General.--Chapter 6 of title 5, United States Code, is
amended by adding at the end the following:
``Sec. 613. Regulatory impact analyses
``(a) In General.--Before issuing any proposed rule, final rule, or
interim final rule that meets the economic threshold of a significant
rule described in section 601(9)(A), an agency shall conduct a
regulatory impact analysis to evaluate the proposed rule, final rule,
or interim final rule, as applicable.
``(b) Regulatory Impact Analyses.--An analysis under subsection (a)
shall--
``(1) be based upon the best reasonably obtainable
supporting information, consistent with Executive Order 12866
(5 U.S.C. 601 note; relating to regulatory planning and review)
and any other relevant guidance from the Office of Management
and Budget;
``(2) be transparent, replicable, and objective;
``(3) describe the need to be addressed and how the rule
would address that need;
``(4) analyze the potential effects, including the benefits
and costs, of the rule;
``(5) to the maximum extent practicable, consider the
cumulative regulatory burden on the regulated entity under
subsection (c);
``(6) consider the potential effects on different types and
sizes of businesses, if applicable;
``(7) for a proposed rule that is likely to lead to a
significant rule, or a final or interim final rule that is a
significant rule--
``(A) describe the need to be addressed,
including--
``(i) the supporting information
demonstrating the need;
``(ii) the failures of private markets that
warrant new agency action, if applicable; and
``(iii) whether existing law, including
regulations, has created or contributed to the
need;
``(B) define the baseline for the analysis;
``(C) set the timeframe of the analysis;
``(D) analyze any available regulatory
alternatives, including--
``(i) if rulemaking is not specifically
directed by statute, the alternative of not
regulating;
``(ii) any alternatives that specify
performance objectives rather than identify or
require the specific manner of compliance that
regulated entities must adopt;
``(iii) any alternatives that involve the
deployment of innovative technology or
practices; and
``(iv) any alternatives that involve
different requirements for different types or
sizes of businesses, if applicable;
``(E) identify the effects of the available
regulatory alternatives described in subparagraph (D);
``(F) identify the effectiveness of tort law to
address the identified need;
``(G) to the maximum extent practicable, quantify
and monetize the benefits and costs of the selected
regulatory alternative and the available alternatives
under consideration;
``(H) discount future benefits and costs quantified
and monetized under subparagraph (G);
``(I) to the maximum extent practicable, evaluate
non-quantified and non-monetized benefits and costs of
the selected regulatory alternative and the available
alternatives under consideration; and
``(J) characterize any uncertainty in benefits,
costs, and net benefits.
``(c) Cumulative Regulatory Burden.--In considering the cumulative
regulatory burden under subsection (b)(5), an agency shall--
``(1) identify and assess the benefits and costs of other
regulations require compliance by the same regulated entities
to attempt to achieve similar regulatory objectives;
``(2) evaluate whether the rule is inconsistent with,
incompatible with, or duplicative of other regulations; and
``(3) consider whether the estimated benefits and costs of
the rule increase or decrease as a result of other regulations
issued by the agency, including regulations that are not yet
fully implemented, compared to the benefits and costs of that
rule in the absence of such regulations.
``(d) Less Burdensome Alternatives.--If, after conducting an
analysis under subsection (a) for a proposed rule that is likely to
lead to a significant rule, or a final rule or interim final that is a
significant rule, the agency selects a regulatory approach that is not
the least burdensome compared to an available regulatory alternative,
the agency shall include--
``(1) in the summary section of the preamble a statement
that the selected approach is more burdensome than an available
regulatory alternative; and
``(2) a justification, with supporting information, for the
selected approach.
``(e) Regulatory Determination.--
``(1) In general.--Except as expressly provided otherwise
by law, an agency may issue a proposed rule, final rule, or
interim final rule only upon a reasoned determination that the
benefits of the rule justify the costs of the rule.
``(2) Requirements.--
``(A) Alternative.--Whenever an agency is expressly
required by law to issue a rule, the agency shall
select a regulatory alternative that has benefits that
exceed costs and complies with law.
``(B) Compliance.--If it is not possible to comply
with the law by selecting a regulatory alternative that
has benefits that exceed costs, an agency shall select
the regulatory alternative that has the least costs and
complies with law.
``Sec. 614. Consideration of sunset dates
``(a) Sunset.--Not later than July 1, 2023, an agency shall, for
each proposed rule or interim final rule of the agency that meets the
economic threshold of a significant rule described in section
601(9)(A), include an explicit consideration of a sunset date for the
rule.
``(b) Elements.--The consideration described in subsection (a) for
a proposed rule or interim final rule described in that subsection
shall include an assessment of whether the rule--
``(1) could become outmoded or outdated in light of changed
circumstances, including the availability of new technologies;
or
``(2) could become excessively burdensome after a period of
time due to, among other things--
``(A) disproportionate costs on small businesses;
``(B) the net effect on employment, including jobs
added or lost in the private sector; and
``(C) costs that exceed benefits.
``(c) Publication.--A summary of the consideration described in
subsection (a) for a proposed rule or interim final rule described in
that subsection shall be published in the Federal Register along with
the proposed or interim final rule, as applicable.''.
(b) Technical and Conforming Amendment.--The table of sections for
chapter 6 of title 5, United States Code, is amended by adding at the
end the following:
``613. Regulatory impact analyses.
``614. Consideration of sunset dates.''.
SEC. 4. JUDICIAL REVIEW.
Section 611(a) of title 5, United States Code, is amended, in
paragraphs (1) and (2), by striking ``and 610'' and inserting ``610,
and 613''.

<DOC>
118th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. 840
To protect the rights of the people of the United States under the
Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 16, 2023
Mr. Graham (for himself, Mr. Grassley, Mr. Cornyn, Mr. Lee, Mr. Cruz,
Mr. Hawley, Mr. Cotton, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Tillis, and Mrs. Blackburn)
introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To protect the rights of the people of the United States under the
Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
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 ``Respect for the Second Amendment
Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States protects the individual right to keep and bear arms
independent of service in an organized militia.
(2) The Supreme Court of the United States held in District
of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 595 (2008) that ``[t]here
seems to us no doubt, on the basis of both text and history,
that the Second Amendment conferred an individual right to keep
and bear arms.''.
(3) The Supreme Court further held in New York State Rifle
& Pistol Association v. Bruen, 142 S. Ct. 2111, 2126 (2022)
that the Second Amendment requires the government to
demonstrate that a law regulating firearms ``is consistent with
this Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation''.
(4) The right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental
individual right guaranteed by the Constitution and a
cornerstone of the liberties that every United States citizen
enjoys.
(5) The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution grants
Congress the authority to enforce, by appropriate legislation,
that Amendment's command that ``[n]o State shall make or
enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United States''.
(6) Certain States have enacted or are seeking to enact gun
control laws that are inconsistent with the United States'
historical tradition of firearm regulation, including bans on
the carrying of firearms by residents of other States and bans
on large categories of firearms that are in common use for
lawful purposes.
(7) It is therefore necessary for Congress to exercise its
authority under the Fourteenth Amendment to ensure that the
Second Amendment rights of all people of the United States are
protected from infringement by the States.
(8) Congress has also exercised authority under the Taxing
Clause and Commerce Clause of section 8 of article I of the
Constitution to regulate the interstate market in firearms and
ammunition.
SEC. 3. LIMITATIONS ON REGULATION OF FIREARMS.
(a) Definition of ``Firearm''.--In this section, the term
``firearm''--
(1) has the meaning given the term in section 921 of title
18, United States Code; and
(2) includes--
(A) an antique firearm, as defined in section 921
of title 18, United States Code (notwithstanding
paragraph (1) of this subsection);
(B) an assembled or unassembled firearm; and
(C) any part of a firearm, including any integrated
or detachable magazine or ammunition feeding device.
(b) No Enforcement or Implementation of Laws in Violation of Second
Amendment Rights.--No person acting under color of any statute,
ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage of the Federal Government, of
any State or territory, of any locality, or of the District of Columbia
may enforce or implement any Federal, State, or local law, rule,
ordinance, or regulation that prohibits, limits, places requirements or
conditions upon, or otherwise regulates the right of an individual to
lawfully manufacture for personal use, acquire, possess, own, carry,
transport, ship, or use a privately owned firearm or privately owned
ammunition unless the law, rule, ordinance, or regulation is consistent
with the United States' historical tradition of firearm regulation.
(c) Enforcement.--
(1) Public right of action.--The Attorney General may bring
a civil action for declaratory or injunctive relief in an
appropriate district court of the United States against any
person who violates subsection (b).
(2) Private right of action.--
(A) In general.--Any person who is harmed by a
violation of subsection (b), or any membership
organization that represents such a person, may bring a
civil action for declaratory or injunctive relief in an
appropriate district court of the United States against
the person who committed the violation.
(B) Costs and fees.--The court shall award costs
and reasonable attorney fees to any plaintiff who
prevails in an action brought under subparagraph (A),
including if the action is resolved by a negotiated
settlement or mooted by repeal or amendment of the
offending law, rule, regulation, prohibition, policy,
or practice.
(d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be
construed to--
(1) preempt any provision of State law that provides
greater protections to the individual right to keep and bear
arms than those provided under this section; or
(2) limit any other remedy available under the laws of a
State or the United States for infringement of the right to
lawfully manufacture for personal use, acquire, possess, own,
carry, transport, ship, or use a privately owned firearm or
privately owned ammunition.
SEC. 4. REPEALER.
Chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
(1) by striking section 927; and
(2) in the table of sections, by striking the item relating
to section 927.

506C(g); and

with section 506C(h).

S. 847
To establish the International Children with Disabilities Protection
Program within the Department of State, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 16, 2023
Mr. Menendez (for himself, Mr. Moran, Mr. Durbin, Mrs. Blackburn, Mr.
Cardin, Mr. Tillis, Mrs. Shaheen, Mr. Kaine, Ms. Duckworth, Mr.
Merkley, and Mr. Murphy) introduced the following bill; which was read
twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To establish the International Children with Disabilities Protection
Program within the Department of State, 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 ``International Children with
Disabilities Protection Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) According to the United Nations Children's Fund
(UNICEF), there are at least 240,000,000 children and youth
with disabilities in the world, including approximately
53,000,000 children under age 5.
(2) Families and children with disabilities together make
up nearly 2,000,000,000 people, or 25 percent of the world's
population.
(3) Millions of children, particularly children with
intellectual and other developmental disabilities, are placed
in large or small residential institutions and most of those
children are left to grow up without the love, support, and
guidance of a family. The vast majority of children placed in
residential institutions have at least one living parent or
have extended family, many of whom would keep their children at
home if they had the support and legal protections necessary to
do so.
(4) As described in the 2013 world report published by
UNICEF, many parents who wish to keep their children with
disabilities feel that they have no choice but to give up their
child to a residential institution because of prejudice and
stigma against disability, the lack of support and protection
that families receive, and the fact that education and
community services are often inaccessible or inappropriate for
children with disabilities.
(5) Extensive scientific research demonstrates that placing
children in residential institutions may lead to psychological
harm, increased developmental disabilities, stunted growth,
rapid spread of infectious diseases, and high rates of
mortality.
(6) Leading child protection organizations have documented
that children and adolescents raised without families in
residential institutions face high risk of violence,
trafficking for forced labor or the sex industry, forced
abortion or sterilization, and criminal detention.
(7) The danger of family breakup and institutionalization
has grown enormously as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to a study published in The Lancet, as of September
2022, a minimum of 10,500,000 children globally have lost a
parent or co-residing caregiver to COVID-19 and are now at
increased risk of placement in a residential institution.
(8) The disability rights movement in the United States has
been a world leader and an inspiration to the growth of a
global disability rights movement. The United States has many
models of practice that could be shared with countries around
the world to support laws, policies, and services to promote
the full inclusion of children with disabilities in families
around the world.
(9) The Advancing Protection and Care for Children in
Adversity strategy of the United States Government (APCCA) and
the Global Child Thrive Act of 2020 (subtitle I of title XII of
division A of Public Law 116-283; 134 Stat. 3985) commit the
United States Government to investing in the development, care,
dignity, and safety of vulnerable children and their families
around the world, including efforts to keep children with their
families and reduce placement of children in residential
institutions.
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) stigma and discrimination against children with
disabilities, particularly intellectual and other developmental
disabilities, and lack of support for community inclusion have
left people with disabilities and their families economically
and socially marginalized;
(2) organizations of persons with disabilities and family
members of persons with disabilities are often too small to
apply for or obtain funds from domestic or international
sources or ineligible to receive funds from such sources;
(3) as a result of the factors described in paragraphs (1)
and (2), key stakeholders have often been left out of public
policymaking on matters that affect children with disabilities;
and
(4) financial support, technical assistance, and active
engagement of people with disabilities and their families is
needed to ensure the development of effective policies that
protect families, ensure the full inclusion in society of
children with disabilities, and promote the transition of
children with disabilities to independent living as adults.
SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS.

of Congress that--
(1) all programming of the Department and the United States
Agency for International Development related to childcare
reform, improvement of health care systems, primary and

seek to be consistent with the policy described in section 5;
and
(2) programs of the Department and the United States Agency
for International Development related to children, health care,
and education--
(A) should--
(i) engage organizations of persons with
disabilities in policymaking and program
implementation; and
(ii) support full inclusion of children
with disabilities in families; and
(B) should aim to avoid support for residential
institutions for children with disabilities except in
situations of conflict or emergency in a manner that
protects family connections as described in subsection
(b).
(b) Sense of Congress on Conflict and Emergencies.--It is the sense
of Congress that--
(1) programs of the Department and the United States Agency
for International Development serving children in situations of
conflict or emergency, among displaced or refugee populations,
or in natural disasters should seek to ensure that children
with and without disabilities can maintain family ties; and
(2) in situations of emergency, if children are separated
from parents or have no family, every effort should be made to
ensure that children are placed with extended family, in
kinship care, or in a substitute family.

student aid.
SEC. 3. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) A child's brain grows at a faster rate between birth
and age 3 than at any later point in the child's lifetime.
(2) Decades of research shows that children under age 3
that receive quality child care are more likely to have the
behavioral, cognitive, and language skills development
necessary for success in school, college, and life.
(3) According to a 2018 survey, 83 percent of parents with
a child under age 5 responded that finding quality, affordable
child care was a serious problem in their area.
(4) In 2017, on average, center-based child care for an
infant cost 61 percent more than for a preschooler, over
$11,000 annually per child, and in 28 States, more than the
cost of public college tuition.
(5) In the 2015-2016 academic year, approximately 4,300,000
postsecondary education students were raising children while in
college, and over half of those students had children
preschool-aged or younger.
(6) According to a 2016 survey, 95 percent of child care
centers at 2-year and 4-year colleges across the United States
had a waiting list, with the average list containing 82
children.
(7) Student parents were 20 percent more likely to leave
college without a degree than students without children.
(8) The Child Care Access Means Parents in School Federal
Grant program under subpart 7 of part A of title IV of the
Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1070e et seq.) helps
over 3,300 students at institutions of higher education afford
child care each year, but this program impacts just 0.5 percent
of the entire student parent population, and many institutions
of higher education do not open their subsidized child care
programs to children under age 3.
(9) The share of community colleges and 4-year institutions
of higher education with on-campus child care has been in
decline. Community colleges saw a 10 percent decrease in the
number of campuses with child care between 2002 and 2017.
(10) Student parents are more likely to be enrolled at
community colleges and minority-serving institutions than other
institutions of higher education. Over a quarter of all
community college students are parents, and in the 2015-2016
academic year, 40 percent of Black women attending college were
parents, 3 times the rate for White male college students.
(11) Community colleges and minority-serving institutions
lead the higher education sector in educating infant and
toddler child care providers, especially child care providers
of color, so they are the optimal actors for driving quality
infant and toddler child care access in their regions.
TITLE I--ESTABLISHMENT OF INFANT AND TODDLER CHILD CARE LEADERSHIP

[S. 855 Introduced in Senate (IS)]
<DOC>
118th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. 855
To amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to require national
securities exchanges to identify issuers that are consolidated variable
interest entities, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 16, 2023
Mr. Scott of Florida (for himself and Mr. Van Hollen) introduced the
following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on
Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to require national
securities exchanges to identify issuers that are consolidated variable
interest entities, 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 ``Trading and Investing with Clear
Knowledge and Expectations about Risk Act'' or the ``TICKER Act''.
SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) variable interest entities based in foreign
jurisdictions, including the People's Republic of China, pose a
specific and significant risk to investors in the United
States, including because investors that purchase shares of
those entities--
(A) have no equity or direct ownership interest;
and
(B) lack legal recourse; and
(2) investors in the United States should more clearly be
made aware of the risk described in paragraph (1) in a
transparent, easily accessible, and standardized manner that is
recognizable to all persons that have invested, or seek to
invest, in entities that are described in that paragraph and
are listed on exchanges in the United States, such as through
clearly visible warning indicators on ticker symbols and other
company symbols used by those exchanges.
SEC. 3. IDENTIFICATION OF RISK WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ENTITIES.
(a) Definitions.--In this section--
(1) the terms ``broker'', ``dealer'', ``exchange'', and
``security'' have the meanings given those terms in section
3(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78c(a));
(2) the term ``Commission'' means the Securities and
Exchange Commission;
(3) the term ``covered entity'' means a consolidated
variable interest entity;
(4) the term ``national securities exchange'' means an
exchange that is registered as a national securities exchange
pursuant to section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(15 U.S.C. 78f), as amended by subsection (b) of this section;
and
(5) the term ``variable interest entity'' has the meaning
given the term under generally accepted accounting principles.
(b) Requirements.--
(1) National securities exchanges.--
(A) In general.--Section 6(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78f(b)) is amended by
adding at the end the following:
``(11)(A) In this paragraph, the term `covered entity' has
the meaning given the term in section 3(a) of the Trading and
Investing with Clear Knowledge and Expectations about Risk Act.
``(B) The rules of the exchange require the identification
of each covered entity, the securities of which are listed on
the exchange, as a covered entity in the symbol for the covered
entity used on the exchange.''.
(B) Effective date; applicability.--The amendment
made by subparagraph (A) shall--
(i) take effect on the date that is 180
days after the date of enactment of this Act;
and
(ii) apply with respect to a covered
entity, the securities of which are listed on a
national securities exchange on or after the
date described in clause (i).
(2) Brokers and dealers.--Beginning not later than 180 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, the Commission shall
require brokers and dealers to provide warnings to investors
investing in covered entities that those investors may lack
legal recourse with respect to such an investment.

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 16, 2023
Mr. Wicker (for himself, Mr. Lujan, Mr. Young, and Mr. Kelly)
introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the
Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require the Federal Communications Commission to conduct a study and
submit to Congress a report examining the feasibility of funding the
Universal Service Fund through contributions supplied by edge
providers, 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 ``Funding Affordable Internet with
Reliable Contributions Act'' or the ``FAIR Contributions Act''.
SEC. 2. STUDY AND REPORT ON UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND CONTRIBUTIONS.
(a) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Appropriate congressional committees.--The term
``appropriate congressional committees'' means--
(A) the Committee on Commerce, Science, and
Transportation of the Senate; and
(B) the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the
House of Representatives.
(2) Commission.--The term ``Commission'' means the Federal
Communications Commission.
(3) Contribution.--The term ``contribution'' means funds
provided to the Universal Service Fund under section 254(d) of
the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 254(d)).
(4) Edge provider.--The term ``edge provider'' means a
provider of online content or services, such as a search
engine, a social media platform, a streaming service, an app
store, a cloud computing service, or an e-commerce platform.
(5) Universal service fund.--The term ``Universal Service
Fund'' means the fund established pursuant to section 254 of
the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 254) and administered
by the Universal Service Administrative Company to support
service to high-cost areas, schools and libraries, rural health
care facilities, and the Lifeline program of the Commission.
(b) Study and Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, and after issuing a notice of inquiry seeking
public comment on the issues described in this subsection, the
Commission shall conduct a study and submit to the appropriate
congressional committees a report examining the feasibility of funding
the Universal Service Fund through contributions supplied by edge
providers, which shall include the consideration of comments on, and
the findings of the Commission with respect to--
(1) the class of firms and services on which contributions
could be assessed, including an inquiry into the specific
sources of revenue potentially subject to contributions, such
as digital advertising revenue and user fees;
(2) the equity issues of the current contributions system,
including the cost burden on consumers who traditionally
purchase legacy telecommunications services;
(3) equity issues of alternative contributions systems that
would create new funding sources for the Universal Service Fund
such as Federal appropriations or assessments on edge
providers;
(4) whether a particular contributions system results in
progressive or regressive fees;
(5) the size of firms subject to contributions
requirements;
(6) the broadband requirements, such as bandwidth and
latency, of a particular online service;
(7) other Federal, State, and local taxes and fees that
edge providers may already pay;
(8) practical issues concerning the calculation of
contributions, including which revenues should be subject to
contributions, whether a flat or progressive rate is most
appropriate, and the logistics of collection;
(9) the effect such a change would have on
telecommunications bills of consumers, including low-income,
elderly, and Tribal consumers;
(10) the effect such a change would have on the
sustainability of the Universal Service Fund, and how to ensure
that Universal Service Fund disbursements are consistent and
predictable over time;
(11) the statutory authority the Commission would require
to enact such a change and how such a change would interact
with existing Federal and State law; and
(12) the continued necessity of the Universal Service Fund
once advanced telecommunications capability is available to all
people in the United States.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. 857
To encourage and facilitate efforts by States and other stakeholders to
conserve and sustain the western population of monarch butterflies, and
for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 16, 2023
Mr. Merkley (for himself, Ms. Duckworth, Mr. Booker, Mr. Padilla, Mr.
Van Hollen, Mr. Whitehouse, Mr. Lujan, Mrs. Feinstein, Mr. Wyden, and
Mr. Heinrich) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and
referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To encourage and facilitate efforts by States and other stakeholders to
conserve and sustain the western population of monarch butterflies, 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 ``Monarch Action, Recovery, and
Conservation of Habitat Act of 2023'' or the ``MONARCH Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) the population of western monarch butterflies is at
imminent risk of extinction;
(2) over the past 3 decades, the population of western
monarch butterflies has declined by more than 99 percent due to
prolonged drought, loss of milkweed and native pollinator
habitat, loss of breeding and overwintering habitat, and
climate change;
(3) in 2020, the population of western monarch butterflies
reached a new historic low of 1,914 butterflies, falling below
the predicted extinction threshold for the third year in a row;
(4) the extinction of the population of migratory western
monarch butterflies is now likely to occur within the next 2
decades if urgent action is not taken;
(5) actively restoring native milkweed and nectar plants,
monarch overwintering habitat, and other pollinator habitat,
and ensuring that key habitats are protected from destruction,
are critical to ensuring the survival of western monarch
butterflies and can also help facilitate conservation of other
essential pollinators; and
(6) enhancing pollinator populations can result in improved
pollination services for neighboring land, including
agriculture and wildlife ecosystems.
SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.
In this Act:
(1) Conservation.--The term ``conservation'' means the use
of each method or procedure necessary to protect habitats of
western monarch butterflies and other pollinators within the
range of western monarch butterflies, including--
(A) the protection, restoration, and management of
overwintering, breeding, and migratory habitats;
(B) assistance in the development and
implementation of national, regional, State, Tribal,
and local conservation and management plans; and
(C) community outreach and education.
(2) Fund.--The term ``Fund'' means the Western Monarch
Butterfly Rescue Fund established by section 5(a).
(3) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary
of the Interior.
(4) Tribal government.--The term ``Tribal government''
means the governing body of a federally recognized Indian
Tribe.
(5) Western monarch butterfly.--The term ``western monarch
butterfly'' means the monarch butterfly population that
overwinters along the coast of the State of California and
breeds across the States of California, Arizona, Nevada,
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah.
SEC. 4. WESTERN MONARCH BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION GRANT PROGRAM.
(a) In General.--Subject to the availability of funds and in
consultation with other relevant Federal agencies, amounts deposited in

To provide for the expedited consideration of nominations for the

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 16, 2023
Mr. Merkley introduced the following bill; which was read twice and
referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To provide for the expedited consideration of nominations for the
Supreme Court of the United States.
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 ``Every Supreme Court Nominee Deserves
Timely Consideration Act''.
SEC. 2. SUPREME COURT JUDICIAL REVIEW PROCEDURE.
(a) Discharge.--In the Senate, if the Committee on the Judiciary of
the Senate has not reported a nomination for the Chief Justice of the
United States or an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States at the end of 60 continuous days of session after the
date on which the nomination is referred to such committee, any Member
may submit to the Congressional Record a notice of intent to discharge
the nomination. At the end of 20 calendar days after the notice of
intent to file such petition, such committee may be discharged from
further consideration of such nomination upon a petition supported in
writing by 30 Members of the Senate, and such nomination shall be
placed on the calendar. Debate on the motion, and on all debatable
motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall not be in order.
(b) Consideration.--
(1) Debate.--In the Senate, debate on the nomination, and
on all debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith,
shall be limited to not more than 30 hours, which shall be
divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the
nomination. A motion further to limit debate is not in order
and not debatable. A motion to postpone, a motion to proceed to
the consideration of other business, or any amendment thereto,
is not in order. A one-time nondebatable motion to extend the
consideration of the nomination an additional 30 hours shall
only be in order when supported in writing by 30 Members of the
Senate.
(2) Vote.--In the Senate, immediately following the
conclusion of the debate on a nomination described in
subsection (b)(1), and a single quorum call at the conclusion
of the debate if requested in accordance with the rules of the
Senate, the vote on the confirmation of the nomination shall
occur.
(c) Rules of the Senate.--This section is enacted by Congress--
(1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate,
and as such it is deemed a part of the rules of the Senate, and
it supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is
inconsistent with such rules; and
(2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of
the Senate to change such rules (so far as relating to the
procedure of the Senate) at any time, in the same manner, and
to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of the
Senate.

A BILL
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to enhance tax benefits for
research activities.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``American Innovation and Jobs Act''.
SEC. 2. RESTORING IMMEDIATE EXPENSING FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
INVESTMENTS.
(a) In General.--Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
is amended to read as follows:
``SEC. 174. RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTAL EXPENDITURES.
``(a) Treatment as Expenses.--
``(1) In general.--A taxpayer may treat research or
experimental expenditures which are paid or incurred by him
during the taxable year in connection with his trade or
business as expenses which are not chargeable to capital
account. The expenditures so treated shall be allowed as a
deduction.
``(2) When method may be adopted.--
``(A) Without consent.--A taxpayer may, without the
consent of the Secretary, adopt the method provided in
this subsection for his first taxable year for which
expenditures described in paragraph (1) are paid or
incurred.
``(B) With consent.--A taxpayer may, with the
consent of the Secretary, adopt at any time the method
provided in this subsection.
``(3) Scope.--The method adopted under this subsection
shall apply to all expenditures described in paragraph (1). The
method adopted shall be adhered to in computing taxable income
for the taxable year and for all subsequent taxable years
unless, with the approval of the Secretary, a change to a
different method is authorized with respect to part or all of
such expenditures.
``(b) Amortization of Certain Research and Experimental
Expenditures.--
``(1) In general.--At the election of the taxpayer, made in
accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary,
research or experimental expenditures which are--
``(A) paid or incurred by the taxpayer in
connection with his trade or business,
``(B) not treated as expenses under subsection (a),
and
``(C) chargeable to capital account but not
chargeable to property of a character which is subject
to the allowance under section 167 (relating to
allowance for depreciation, etc.) or section 611
(relating to allowance for depletion),
may be treated as deferred expenses. In computing taxable
income, such deferred expenses shall be allowed as a deduction
ratably over such period of not less than 60 months as may be
selected by the taxpayer (beginning with the month in which the
taxpayer first realizes benefits from such expenditures). Such
deferred expenses are expenditures properly chargeable to
capital account for purposes of section 1016(a)(1) (relating to
adjustments to basis of property).
``(2) Time for and scope of election.--The election
provided by paragraph (1) may be made for any taxable year, but
only if made not later than the time prescribed by law for
filing the return for such taxable year (including extensions
thereof). The method so elected, and the period selected by the
taxpayer, shall be adhered to in computing taxable income for
the taxable year for which the election is made and for all
subsequent taxable years unless, with the approval of the
Secretary, a change to a different method (or to a different
period) is authorized with respect to part or all of such
expenditures. The election shall not apply to any expenditure
paid or incurred during any taxable year before the taxable
year for which the taxpayer makes the election.
``(c) Land and Other Property.--This section shall not apply to any
expenditure for the acquisition or improvement of land, or for the
acquisition or improvement of property to be used in connection with
the research or experimentation and of a character which is subject to
the allowance under section 167 (relating to allowance for
depreciation, etc.) or section 611 (relating to allowance for
depletion); but for purposes of this section allowances under section
167, and allowances under section 611, shall be considered as
expenditures.
``(d) Exploration Expenditures.--This section shall not apply to
any expenditure paid or incurred for the purpose of ascertaining the
existence, location, extent, or quality of any deposit of ore or other
mineral (including oil and gas).
``(e) Only Reasonable Research Expenditures Eligible.--This section
shall apply to a research or experimental expenditure only to the
extent that the amount thereof is reasonable under the circumstances.
``(f) Cross References.--
``(1) For adjustments to basis of property for amounts
allowed as deductions as deferred expenses under subsection
(b), see section 1016(a)(14).
``(2) For election of 10-year amortization of expenditures
allowable as a deduction under subsection (a), see section
59(e).''.
(b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections for part VI of
subchapter B of chapter 1 is amended by striking the item relating to
section 174 and inserting the following new item:
``Sec. 174. Research and experimental expenditures''.
(c) Conforming Amendments.--
(1) Section 41(d)(1)(A) is amended by striking ``specified
research or experimental expenditures under section 174'' and
inserting ``expenses under section 174''.
(2) Section 280C(c) is amended to read as follows:
``(c) Credit for Increasing Research Activities.--
``(1) In general.--No deduction shall be allowed for that
portion of the qualified research expenses (as defined in
section 41(b)) or basic research expenses (as defined in
section 41(e)(2)) otherwise allowable as a deduction for the
taxable year which is equal to the amount of the credit
determined for such taxable year under section 41(a).
``(2) Similar rule where taxpayer capitalizes rather than
deducts expenses.--If--
``(A) the amount of the credit determined for the
taxable year under section 41(a)(1), exceeds
``(B) the amount allowable as a deduction for such
taxable year for qualified research expenses or basic
research expenses (determined without regard to
paragraph (1)),
the amount chargeable to capital account for the taxable year
for such expenses shall be reduced by the amount of such
excess.
``(3) Election of reduced credit.--
``(A) In general.--In the case of any taxable year
for which an election is made under this paragraph--
``(i) paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not
apply, and
``(ii) the amount of the credit under
section 41(a) shall be the amount determined
under subparagraph (B).
``(B) Amount of reduced credit.--The amount of
credit determined under this subparagraph for any
taxable year shall be the amount equal to the excess
of--
``(i) the amount of credit determined under
section 41(a) without regard to this paragraph,
over
``(ii) the product of--
``(I) the amount described in
clause (i), and
``(II) the rate of tax under
section 11(b).
``(C) Election.--An election under this paragraph
for any taxable year shall be made not later than the
time for filing the return of tax for such year
(including extensions), shall be made on such return,
and shall be made in such manner as the Secretary may
prescribe. Such an election, once made, shall be
irrevocable.
``(4) Controlled groups.--Paragraph (3) of subsection (b)
shall apply for purposes of this subsection.''.
(d) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall
apply to amounts paid or incurred in taxable years beginning after
December 31, 2021.

Mr. Cotton introduced the following bill; which was read twice and
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 18, United States Code, to make the murder of a Federal,
State, or local law enforcement officer a crime punishable by life in
prison or death.
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 Our Defenders Act''.
SEC. 2. MURDER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.
(a) In General.--Chapter 51 of title 18, United States Code, is
amended by adding at the end the following:
``Sec. 1123. Murder of law enforcement officers
``(a) Federal Law Enforcement Officers.--In the case of an
individual who commits an offense described in section 1111 and the
victim of the offense is a Federal law enforcement officer (as defined
in section 2 of the Law Enforcement Congressional Badge of Bravery Act
of 2008 (34 U.S.C. 50301)) acting in the course of the official duties
of the officer, the individual shall be punished by death or by
imprisonment for life.
``(b) State and Local Law Enforcement Officers.--In the case of an
individual who travels in interstate or foreign commerce or uses any
facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including the mail,
telephone, radio, or television, with the intent to commit an offense
described in section 1111 or who uses a weapon or instrument that has
traveled in interstate or foreign commerce to commit said offense, and
the victim of the offense is a State or local law enforcement officer
(as defined in section 2 of the Law Enforcement Congressional Badge of
Bravery Act of 2008 (34 U.S.C. 50301)) acting in the course of the
official duties of the officer, the individual shall be punished by
death or by imprisonment for life.
``(c) Aggravating Factors.--In determining whether a sentence of
death is to be imposed on a defendant convicted of an offense described
in subsection (a) or (b), the jury, or if there is no jury, the court,
shall consider, in addition to the factors described in section
3592(c), each of the following aggravating factors for which notice has
been given and determine which, if any, exist:
``(1) Intent to ambush.--The defendant committed the
offense by an act of ambush.
``(2) Prior statements advocating for or promoting violence
against law enforcement officers.--The defendant has a prior
history of advocating for or promoting acts of violence,
including murder or assault, against a law enforcement officer.
``(3) Participation in or affiliation with anarchist or
other violence promoting organization.--The defendant is a
member of or affiliated with any organization that the Attorney
General or other high ranking law enforcement official has
determined to be an anarchist organization, a domestic
terrorist organization, or any other organization or group that
actively promotes violence or the overthrow of the Federal
Government.
``(4) Occurrence during organized anti-law enforcement
officer activity.--The offense was committed during a time and
in a place when there was active organized activity against or
targeting law enforcement officers.
``(5) Attempt to prevent lawful execution of law
enforcement duties.--The defendant committed the offense in
attempt to evade or otherwise prevent the law enforcement
officer from carrying out a lawful arrest or other lawful
authorized law enforcement activity.
``(6) Prior threats.--The defendant has personally made
prior threats of violence against a law enforcement officer.
``(d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be
construed as--
``(1) indicating an intent on the part of Congress to
prevent any State, any possession or Commonwealth of the United
States, or the District of Columbia, from exercising
jurisdiction over any offense over which the State, possession,
Commonwealth, or District of Columbia would have jurisdiction
in the absence of this section; or
``(2) depriving State and local law enforcement agencies of
responsibility for prosecuting acts that may be violations of
this section and that are violations of State or local law.''.
(b) Table of Sections.--The table of sections for chapter 51 of
title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item
relating to section 1122 the following:
``1123. Murder of law enforcement officers.''.

A BILL
To amend the Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``CDFI Bond Guarantee Program

under section 114A of the Community Development Banking and Financial
Institutions Act of 1994 (12 U.S.C. 4713a) (commonly referred to as the
``CDFI Bond Guarantee Program'') provides community development
financial institutions with a sustainable source of long-term capital
and furthers the mission of the Community Development Financial
Institutions Fund (established under section 104(a) of such Act (12
U.S.C. 4703(a)) to increase economic opportunity and promote community
development investments for underserved populations and distressed
communities in the United States.
SEC. 3. GUARANTEES FOR BONDS AND NOTES ISSUED FOR COMMUNITY OR ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES.
(a) In General.--Section 114A of the Community Development Banking
and Financial Institutions Act of 1994 (12 U.S.C. 4713a) is amended--
(1) in subsection (c)(2), by striking ``, multiplied by an
amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of issued

(2) by amending subsection (e)(2) to read as follows:
``(2) Limitation on guarantee amount.--The Secretary may
not guarantee any amount under the program equal to less than
$25,000,000, but the total of all such guarantees in any fiscal
year may not exceed $1,000,000,000.''; and
(3) in subsection (k), by striking ``September 30, 2014''

established under paragraph (1)(A), the lead
agency shall publish in the Federal Register a
notice of intent to prepare the relevant
environmental document required by NEPA.
``(ii) Environmental impact statements.--If
the relevant environmental document required by
NEPA is an environmental impact statement, the
notice of intent required under clause (i) and
the permitting timetable under subparagraph (A)
shall provide for a public scoping period of
not longer than 60 days, which shall begin not
later than 30 days after the date on which the
notice of intent is published.'';

(1) by redesignating subsections (f) and (g) as subsections
(g) and (h), respectively; and
(2) by inserting after subsection (e) the following:
``(f) Final Environmental Impact Statement.--
``(1) Incorporation of comments and publication of final

subsection (d)(1) ends, the lead agency shall--
``(A) incorporate any necessary changes; and
``(B) approve, adopt, and publish the final
environmental impact statement.
``(2) Preparation by project sponsor.--
``(A) In general.--Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, an environmental impact statement for
a covered project shall not be considered legally
insufficient solely because the draft environmental
impact statement was prepared by, or under the
supervision of, the project sponsor, if the lead
agency--
``(i) furnishes guidance and participates
in the preparation of the environmental impact
statement;
``(ii) independently evaluates the
environmental impact statement; and
``(iii) approves and adopts the
environmental impact statement.
``(B) Approval and adoption of draft statement.--If
the lead agency approves and adopts a draft
environmental impact statement described in
subparagraph (A), the lead agency shall publish the
draft environmental impact statement for public comment
not later than 30 days after the date on which the lead
agency receives the draft environmental impact
statement.
``(C) Resubmission.--If the lead agency determines
that a draft environmental impact statement described
in subparagraph (A) is legally insufficient or
deficient in a respect that could affect the decision
of a lead agency or a cooperating agency, the lead
agency shall, not later than 30 days after the date on
which the agency receives the draft environmental
impact statement--
``(i) indicate all deficiencies in the
draft environmental impact statement to the
project sponsor for remediation; and
``(ii) allow the project sponsor to
resubmit the draft detailed statement in
accordance with subparagraph (B).
``(D) Savings provision.--The procedures under this
paragraph shall not relieve any agency of--
``(i) any responsibilities for the scope,
objectivity, and content of an environmental
impact statement; or
``(ii) any other responsibility under
NEPA.''.
(c) Preliminary Injunctive Relief in NEPA Actions.--Section 41007
of the FAST Act (42 U.S.C. 4370m-6) is amended--
(1) by redesignating subsections (c) through (e) as
subsections (d) through (f), respectively;
(2) in subsection (b), in the matter preceding paragraph
(1), by striking ``In addition'' and inserting ``Subject to
subsection (c), in addition''; and
(3) by inserting after subsection (b) the following:
``(c) Preliminary Injunctive Relief in NEPA Actions.--In the case
of an action pertaining to an environmental review conducted under
NEPA, a court shall not issue a temporary restraining order or
preliminary injunction against an agency or a project sponsor in
connection with the review or authorization of a covered project unless
the court, in the discretion of the court, determines that--
``(1) the environmental review has failed substantially and
materially to comply with the requirements of NEPA; and
``(2) the failure described in paragraph (1) cannot be
cured by supplementing the environmental document or other
mitigation and monitoring measures.''.

(b) shall be determined with respect to the modified
adjusted gross income of the taxpayer for the taxable
year preceding the taxable year in which such qualified
electric bicycle was acquired (and not with respect to
such income for the taxable year in which such
qualified electric bicycle was acquired),
``(B) the requirements of paragraphs (1) and (2) of
subsection (f) shall apply to the taxpayer who acquired
the qualified electric bicycle in the same manner as if

to such qualified electric bicycle were allowed to such
taxpayer, and
``(C) subsection (f)(5) shall not apply.
``(7) Advance payment to registered retailers.--
``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall establish a
program to make advance payments to any eligible entity

credits allowed under subsection (a) with respect to
any qualified electric bicycles sold by such entity for
which an election described in paragraph (1) has been

1st Session
S. 884
To establish a Government-wide approach to improving digital identity,
and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 21, 2023
Ms. Sinema (for herself and Ms. Lummis) introduced the following bill;
which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security
and Governmental Affairs
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To establish a Government-wide approach to improving digital identity,
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 ``Improving Digital Identity Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) The lack of an easy, affordable, reliable, and secure
way for organizations, businesses, and government agencies to
identify whether an individual is who they claim to be online
creates an attack vector that is widely exploited by
adversaries in cyberspace and precludes many high-value
transactions from being available online.
(2) Incidents of identity theft and identity fraud continue
to rise in the United States, where more than 293,000,000
people were impacted by data breaches in 2021.
(3) Since 2017, losses resulting from identity fraud have
increased by 333 percent, and, in 2020, those losses totaled
$56,000,000,000.
(4) The Director of the Treasury Department Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network has stated that the abuse of
personally identifiable information and other building blocks
of identity is a key enabler behind much of the fraud and
cybercrime affecting the United States today.
(5) The inadequacy of current digital identity solutions
degrades security and privacy for all people in the United
States, and next generation solutions are needed that improve
security, privacy, equity, and accessibility.
(6) Government entities, as authoritative issuers of
identity in the United States, are uniquely positioned to
deliver critical components that address deficiencies in the
digital identity infrastructure of the United States and
augment private sector digital identity and authentication
solutions.
(7) State governments are particularly well-suited to play
a role in enhancing digital identity solutions used by both the
public and private sectors, given the role of State governments
as the issuers of driver's licenses and other identity
documents commonly used today.
(8) The public and private sectors should collaborate to
deliver solutions that promote confidence, privacy, choice,
equity, accessibility, and innovation. The private sector
drives much of the innovation around digital identity in the
United States and has an important role to play in delivering
digital identity solutions.
(9) The bipartisan Commission on Enhancing National
Cybersecurity has called for the Federal Government to ``create
an interagency task force directed to find secure, user-
friendly, privacy-centric ways in which agencies can serve as 1
authoritative source to validate identity attributes in the
broader identity market. This action would enable Government
agencies and the private sector to drive significant risk out
of new account openings and other high-risk, high-value online
services, and it would help all citizens more easily and
securely engage in transactions online.''.
(10) It should be the policy of the Federal Government to
use the authorities and capabilities of the Federal Government,
in coordination with State, local, Tribal, and territorial
partners and private sector innovators, to enhance the
security, reliability, privacy, equity, accessibility, and
convenience of consent-based digital identity solutions that
support and protect transactions between individuals,
government entities, and businesses, and that enable people in
the United States to prove who they are online.

S. 888
To amend title 49, United States Code, to add definitions for the terms
``common carrier'' and ``personal operator'', and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 21, 2023
Mr. Lee introduced the following bill; which was read twice and
referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 49, United States Code, to add definitions for the terms
``common carrier'' and ``personal operator'', 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 ``Aviation Empowerment Act''.
SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.
Section 40102(a) of title 49, United States Code, is amended by
adding at the end the following:
``(48) `common carrier' means a service provided by a
person that meets the following elements:
``(A) holding out of a willingness to;
``(B) transport persons or property;
``(C) from place to place;
``(D) for compensation; and
``(E) without refusal unless authorized by law.
In applying subparagraph (D), the term `compensation' requires
the intent to pursue monetary profit but does not include
flights in which the pilot and passengers share aircraft
operating expenses or the pilot receives any benefit.
``(49) `personal operator' means a person providing air
transportation of persons or property for compensation or hire
in aircraft that have eight or fewer seats, provided that the
person holds a private pilot certificate pursuant to subpart E
of section 61 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (or any
successor regulation). A personal operator or a flight operated
by a personal operator does not constitute a common carrier, as
defined in paragraph (48), a commercial operation requiring a
certificate under part 119 or 135 of title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (or any successor regulation), or a commercial
operator, as defined in section 1.1 of title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (or any successor regulation).''.
SEC. 3. REGULATIONS.
Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the
Secretary of Transportation shall issue or revise regulations to comply
with this Act and to ensure the following:
(1) That a person who holds a pilot certificate may
communicate with the public, in any manner the person
determines appropriate, to facilitate an aircraft flight for
which the pilot and passengers share aircraft operating
expenses in accordance with section 61.113(c) of title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations (or any successor regulation) and that
such flight-sharing operations under section 61.113(c) of title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor regulation)
shall not be deemed a common carrier, as defined in paragraph
(48) of section 40102(a) of title 49, United States Code, or a
commercial operation requiring a certificate under part 119 or
135 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor
regulation).
(2) That a personal operator, as defined in paragraph (49)
of section 40102(a) of title 49, United States Code, as added
by section 2, operating under part 91 of title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (or any successor regulation) shall not be
subject to the requirements set forth in part 121, 125, or 135
of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor
regulation).

``(30) The institution will--
``(A) provide to the Secretary not later than the
first December 31 following the date of enactment of
the Protecting Students from Worthless Degrees Act (or,
for any institution that does not have an active
program participation agreement as of such date, the
first December 31 after the institution enters into the

institution and each of the eligible gainful employment
programs included on the eligibility and certification
approval report of the institution under subpart 3 of
part H meet the requirements of subsection (k);
``(B) include with its certification an explanation
of how each eligible gainful employment program is not
substantially similar to any ineligible or discontinued

``(C) update the certification within 10 days if
there are any changes in the approvals for an eligible
gainful employment program, or other changes for an
eligible gainful employment program that make the
existing certification no longer accurate.''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following:
``(k) Certification Requirements for Gainful Employment Programs.--

`gainful employment program' means a program of training that--
``(A) in order to qualify for assistance under this
title, is required under subsection (b)(1)(A)(i) or
(c)(1)(A) of section 102, or section 101(b)(1), to
satisfy gainful employment requirements; and
``(B) is offered by an institution eligible to
receive assistance under this title.
``(2) In general.--Each eligible gainful employment program
included on the eligibility and certification approval report
of an institution of higher education shall comply with each of
the following:
``(A) The gainful employment program is approved by
a recognized accrediting agency or is otherwise
included in the institution's accreditation by its
recognized accrediting agency, or, if the institution
is a public postsecondary vocational institution, the
program is approved by a recognized State agency for
the approval of public postsecondary vocational
education in lieu of accreditation.
``(B) The gainful employment program is
programmatically accredited, if such accreditation is
required by--
``(i) a Federal governmental entity;
``(ii) a governmental entity in the State
in which the institution is located; or
``(iii) a governmental entity in a State in
which the institution is not physically
located, if the institution--
``(I) offers postsecondary
education through distance education or
correspondence courses to students
located in that State; or
``(II) is otherwise subject to that
State's jurisdiction, as determined by
that State.
``(C) The gainful employment program satisfies the
applicable educational prerequisites for professional
licensure or certification requirements in the State in
which the institution is located or a State described
in subparagraph (B)(iii), so that a student who
completes the program and seeks employment in any such
State qualifies to take any licensure or certification
examination that is needed for the student to practice
or find employment in an occupation that the program
prepares students to enter.
``(D) The gainful employment program is not
substantially similar to a program offered by the
institution that, in any of the 3 years prior to the
date of the eligibility and certification approval
report--
``(i) became ineligible for funding under
this title due to a debt to earning rates
measure, or any subsequent outcome measure,
that the Secretary determines serves the best
interests of students and taxpayers; and
``(ii) was voluntarily discontinued by the
institution.
``(3) Requirements ensuring student awareness.--Before an
institution offering a gainful employment program enrolls any
student who intends to reside, practice, or seek employment in
a State for which the program does not satisfy the applicable
educational prerequisites for professional licensure or
certification requirements needed for that occupation in that
State, the institution shall--
``(A) notify the student that the gainful
employment program does not satisfy the prerequisites;
and
``(B) obtain from the student a handwritten
statement, in the student's own words and signed by the
student, acknowledging that the student wishes to
enroll in the gainful employment program despite
knowing that the gainful employment program does not
meet the licensure or certification requirements for
the occupation in the State in which the student
intends to reside, practice, or seek employment.
``(4) Requirements regarding reestablishment of
eligibility.--The institution shall not seek to reestablish the
eligibility of a gainful employment program that is ineligible
for funding under this subsection until not less than 3 years
following the date specified in the notice of determination
informing the institution of the program's ineligibility.''.
SEC. 5. STATE AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENTS FOR DISTANCE EDUCATION
PROGRAMS.
Section 101 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001(a))

education through distance education or correspondence courses

enrolled students are located, subject to paragraph (2).
``(2) State authorization reciprocity agreements.--An
institution described in paragraph (1) that is located in a

State requirements for the institution to be legally offering
postsecondary distance education or correspondence courses in

students concerning the institution, including
enforcing applicable State law; and
``(ii) to make the complaints public.

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 ``Screening Partnership Reform Act''.
SEC. 2. SCREENING PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM.
(a) In General.--Section 44920 of title 49, United States Code, is
amended--
(1) by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
``(b) Selection of Qualified Private Screening Companies.--
``(1) List of qualified private screening companies.--Not
later than 30 days after receiving an application from the
operator of an airport under subsection (a), the Administrator
shall provide the operator of such airport with an
opportunity--
``(A) for the operator to select a qualified
private screening company with which the operator
prefers the Administrator enter into a contract for
screening services at such airport; or
``(B) to request that the Administrator select a
qualified private screening company with which to enter
into such a contract.
``(2) Entry into contract.--
``(A) In general.--Subject to subsections (c) and
(d), not later than 60 days after the date on which the
operator of an airport selects a qualified private
screening company under paragraph (1)(A) or clause (ii)
or requests the Administrator to select such a company
under paragraph (1)(B)--
``(i) the Administrator shall enter into a
contract for screening services at that airport
with the qualified private screening company
selected by the airport or the company selected
by the Administrator, as the case may be; or
``(ii) in the case of a company selected by
the operator of the airport, if the
Administrator rejects the bid from that
company, or is otherwise unable to enter into a
contract with that company, the Administrator
shall provide the operator of the airport
another 60 days to select another qualified
private screening company.
``(B) Rejection of bids.--If the Administrator
rejects a bid from a private screening company selected
by the operator of an airport under paragraph (1)(A) or
subparagraph (A)(ii), the Administrator shall, not
later than 30 days after rejecting such bid, submit a
report to the operator, the Committee on Commerce,
Science, and Transportation of the Senate, and the
Committee on Homeland Security of the House of
Representatives that includes--
``(i) the findings that served as the basis
for rejecting such bid;
``(ii) the results of any cost or security
analyses conducted in relation to such bid; and
``(iii) recommendations for how the
operator of the airport can address the reasons
the Administrator rejected such bid.'';
(2) in subsection (c), by striking ``and will provide'' and
all that follows through ``with this chapter'';
(3) in subsection (d)--
(A) by striking paragraph (1);
(B) by redesignating paragraphs (2) and (3) as
paragraphs (1) and (2), respectively;
(C) in paragraph (1), as redesignated--
(i) in the matter preceding subparagraph
(A), by striking ``The Administrator'' and all
that follows and inserting ``The Administrator
shall enter into a contract with a qualified
private screening company only if--'';
(ii) in subparagraph (B), by striking
``and'' at the end; and
(iii) by striking subparagraph (C) and
inserting the following:
``(C) the cost of providing screening services at
the airport under the contract is equal to or less than
the cost to the Federal Government of providing
screening services at that airport during the term of
the contract; and
``(D) entering into the contract would not
compromise aviation security or the effectiveness of
the screening of passengers or property at the
airport.'';
(D) in paragraph (2), as redesignated, by striking
the second sentence; and
(E) by adding at the end the following:
``(3) Training and certification.--
``(A) In general.--A private screening company may
fulfill the requirement under paragraph (1)(A) by using
screening supervisors who have been trained and
certified at a Federal Law Enforcement Training Center
to administer comparable on-site training and
certification to private security screeners at an
airport that is participating in the screening
partnership program.
``(B) Authorized trainers.--If a private screening
company elects to conduct on-site training and
certification in accordance with subparagraph (A), such
training shall be conducted by--
``(i) a Federal employer or contractor who
is authorized to train and certify security
screeners; or
``(ii) an employee of a private screening
company who has successfully completed security
supervisor training at a Federal Law
Enforcement Training Center.
``(C) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this
paragraph may be construed to require security
screeners employed by a private screening company who
have received on-site training and certification in
accordance with subparagraph (A) to receive any
additional training at a Federal Law Enforcement
Training Center.
``(4) Part-time positions.--None of the standards required
to be a qualified private screening company may be construed to
prohibit a private screening company from employing screeners
for part-time positions.
``(5) Calculation of federal costs.--For purpose of the
comparison of costs required under paragraph (1)(C), the
Administrator shall incorporate a cost estimate that reflects
the total cost to the Federal Government, including all costs
incurred by all Federal agencies and not only by the
Transportation Security Administration, of providing screening
services at an airport.'';
(4) by striking subsection (i) (as added by section
1946(a)(7) of the TSA Modernization Act (division K of Public
Law 115-254)); and
(5) by striking subsection (i) (as added by section

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 21, 2023
Mr. Graham (for himself, Mr. Manchin, Mr. Grassley, Ms. Lummis, Mrs.

which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce,
Science, and Transportation
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 49, United States Code, to raise the retirement age for
pilots engaged in commercial aviation operations, 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 ``Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act''.
SEC. 2. INCREASED RETIREMENT AGE FOR PILOTS.
Section 44729 of title 49, United States Code, is amended to read
as follows:
``Sec. 44729. Age standards for pilots
``(a) In General.--A pilot may serve in multicrew covered
operations until attaining 67 years of age.
``(b) Covered Operations Defined.--In this section, the term
`covered operations' means operations under part 121 of title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations, unless the operation takes place in--
``(1) the territorial airspace of a foreign country where
such operations are prohibited by the foreign country; or
``(2) international airspace where such operations are not
in compliance with the Annexes to the Convention on
International Civil Aviation.
``(c) Regulations.--On and after the date of enactment of the Let
Experienced Pilots Fly Act, subsections (d) and (e) of section 121.383
of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, shall be deemed to have been
amended to increase the age listed in such subsections to 67 years of
age.
``(d) Applicability.--
``(1) Nonretroactivity.--No person who has attained 65
years of age before the date of enactment of the Let
Experienced Pilots Fly Act may serve as a pilot for an air
carrier engaged in covered operations unless--
``(A) such person is in the employment of that air
carrier in such operations on such date of enactment as
a required flight deck crew member; or
``(B) such person is newly hired by an air carrier
as a pilot on or after such date of enactment without
credit for prior seniority or prior longevity for
benefits or other terms related to length of service
prior to the date of rehire under any labor agreement
or employment policies of the air carrier.
``(2) Protection for compliance.--An action taken in
conformance with this section, taken in conformance with a
regulation issued to carry out this section, or taken prior to
the date of enactment of the Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act in
conformance with subsection (d) or (e) of section 121.383 of
title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect before such
date), may not serve as a basis for liability or relief in a
proceeding, brought under any employment law or regulation,
before any court or agency of the United States or of any State
or locality.
``(e) Amendments to Labor Agreements and Benefit Plans.--Any
amendment to a labor agreement or benefit plan of an air carrier that
is required to conform with the requirements of this section or a
regulation issued to carry out this section, and is applicable to
pilots represented for collective bargaining, shall be made by
agreement of the air carrier and the designated bargaining
representative of the pilots of the air carrier.
``(f) Medical Standards and Records.--
``(1) Medical examinations and standards.--Except as
provided by paragraph (2), a person serving as a pilot for an
air carrier engaged in covered operations shall not be subject
to different medical standards, or different, greater, or more
frequent medical examinations, on account of age unless the
Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration determines
(based on data received or studies published after the date of
enactment of the Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act) that different
medical standards, or different, greater, or more frequent
medical examinations, are needed to ensure an adequate level of
safety in flight.
``(2) Duration of first-class medical certificate.--No
person who has attained 60 years of age may serve as a pilot of
an air carrier engaged in covered operations unless the person
has a first-class medical certificate. Such a certificate shall
expire on the last day of the 6-month period following the date
of examination shown on the certificate.
``(g) Safety Training.--Each air carrier engaged in covered
operations shall continue to use pilot training and qualification
programs approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.''.

S. 895
To provide for further comprehensive research at the National Institute
of Neurological Disorders and Stroke on unruptured intracranial
aneurysms.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 21, 2023
Mr. Blumenthal (for himself and Mr. Mullin) introduced the following
bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Health,
Education, Labor, and Pensions
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To provide for further comprehensive research at the National Institute
of Neurological Disorders and Stroke on unruptured intracranial
aneurysms.
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 ``Ellie Helton, Lisa Colagrossi,
Kristen Shafer Englert, Teresa Anne Lawrence, and Jennifer Sedney
Focused Research Act'' or ``Ellie's Law''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) An estimated 6,600,000 people in the United States, or
1 in 50 people, have an unruptured brain aneurysm.
(2) Each year, an estimated 30,000 people in the United
States suffer a brain aneurysm rupture. Ruptured brain
aneurysms are fatal in about 50 percent of cases. Of those who
survive, about 66 percent suffer some permanent neurological
deficit.
(3) Brain aneurysms are more likely to occur in women than
in men, by a 3 to 2 ratio. Ellie's Law represents all those who
have been affected and died due to a ruptured brain aneurysm,
and their loved ones. People who experienced a brain aneurysm
rupture include the following:
(A) Ellie Helton. On July 16, 2014, Ellie Helton, a
vibrant, loving 14-year-old from Apex, North Carolina,
passed away as a result of a ruptured aneurysm,
stunning her parents, 2 sisters, and many, many loved
ones. A day earlier, on her second day of high school,
she woke up with a terrible headache after a plum-sized
aneurysm on her brain stem ruptured. While she suffered
headaches throughout her life, she was never diagnosed.
Ellie was an avid reader and excellent student, loved
the arts, and was incredibly creative. She had an
unwavering, constant love for the family and friends in
her life.
(B) Lisa Colagrossi. On March 20, 2015, Lisa
Colagrossi--WABC Eyewitness News reporter, wife of 17
years, and mother of 2 sons--unexpectedly passed away
at the age of 49 years after suffering a massive
ruptured brain aneurysm. Despite experiencing one of
the classic warning signs of a brain aneurysm (the
``worst headache of my life''), Lisa's passing came as
a tremendous shock to her family and friends, who did
not know what a brain aneurysm was, let alone its signs
and symptoms. She is remembered for being a loving
wife, a mother, and a successful reporter, and for her
love of the New York Rangers.
(C) Kristen Shafer Englert. On November 24, 2013,
Kristen Shafer Englert, a devoted wife, mother,
daughter, sister, aunt, and friend passed away from a
ruptured brain aneurysm at the age of 25, just weeks
after giving birth to her son. Prior to her passing,
she went to the emergency room with symptoms of a brain
aneurysm and was sent home without a scan. Kristen was
a dedicated teacher who loved children. She was
thrilled to become a mother. Sadly, she got to
experience motherhood only for a few short days.
Kristen's family members have been dedicated advocates
for brain aneurysm awareness and research since her
passing.
(D) Teresa Anne Lawrence. On December 8, 1983,
Teresa Anne Lawrence, a devoted mother of 3, beloved
wife, and staple of her community, collapsed while
visiting her son's school. She had been struggling with
and taking medication for hypertension for several
years. At age 34, after being unconscious for 4 days,
she passed away as a result of a brain aneurysm. Her
loving husband and extended family were left to raise
their children, whom Teresa cherished so much.
(E) Jennifer Sedney. On December 25, 2013, Jennifer
Sedney, a beautiful, accomplished young woman, passed
away suddenly at the age of 27 from a ruptured brain
aneurysm. Her only symptom was the ``worst headache of
her life'', which none of her friends or family
realized was a symptom of a potentially fatal
condition. Jenny was a jogger, a disciplined exerciser,
and a successful health care consultant and had
recently launched a health blog founded on 3
principles--``bee curious, bee radiant, bee well''. Her
brother, mother, father, and a large devoted network of
friends and relatives remember her every day.
(4) Brain aneurysm ruptures have a significant fiscal
impact on survivors, caretakers, and the health care community.
The annual estimated pre-insurance direct cost of brain
aneurysm ruptures to patients in the United States is
approximately $1,400,000,000, and the estimated direct cost to
hospitals each year is approximately $2,700,000,000. The
intensive care unit length of stay is the largest driver of
cost for brain aneurysm ruptures, and estimates do not reflect
indirect costs, which include travel, food, childcare, and wage
losses for patient and caretakers.
(5) Despite the widespread prevalence of this condition and
the high societal cost it imposes on the Nation, the Federal
Government only spends approximately $2.08 per year on brain
aneurysm research for each person afflicted with a brain
aneurysm.
(6) The first 3 iterations of the International Study on
Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms (ISUIA) have advanced
researchers' and clinicians' understanding of how to most
effectively manage and treat unruptured intracranial aneurysms.
SEC. 3. FUNDING.
(a) Authorization of Appropriations.--To conduct or support further
comprehensive research on unruptured intracranial aneurysms, studying a
broader patient population diversified by age, sex, and race, there is
authorized to be appropriated to the National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke $10,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2024 through
2028, to remain available through September 30, 2031.
(b) Supplement, Not Supplant.--Any funds made available pursuant to
this section shall supplement, not supplant, other funding made
available for research on brain aneurysms.

<p><b>Stopping Harmful Incidents to Enforce Lawful Drone Use Act or the SHIELD U Act </b></p> <p>This bill authorizes and expands counter-drone activities by state, local, and airport law enforcement, and federal agencies.</p> <p>Specifically, the bill authorizes state, local, and airport law enforcement to carry out Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (Counter-UAS) activities on commercial service airport property to detect, identify, and mitigate threats posed by unmanned aircraft (i.e., drones). The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is also authorized to carry out these activities.</p> <p>Further, the bill authorizes state and local law enforcement to carry out Counter-UAS activities off commercial airport property; the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must establish a process that allows for collaboration and coordination with these entities.</p> <p>In addition, each commercial airport must convene a task force that includes federal agencies, air carriers, and telecommunications service providers to establish or modify the airport's tactical response plan to drone threats. The FAA and Transportation Security Administration must also publish best practices guidance on Counter-UAS activities at commercial service airports. This guidance must be updated annually.</p> <p>The bill also allows DHS and the Departments of Defense, Justice, and Energy to contract with other entities to carry out authorized Counter-UAS activities.</p> <p>Further, the bill amends restrictions on the use of radio frequency jamming technology to allow state, local, and airport law enforcement to use the technology to mitigate a drone threat.</p> <p>Finally, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center must expand its curriculum to include training on the use of Counter-UAS activities.
