Short title This Act may be cited as the Full Faith and Credit Act . 2. Findings Congress finds that: (1) The Act of Congress establishing the Treasury Department of 1789 states that the Secretary of the Treasury shall prepare plans for improving and managing the revenue of the United States Government and for the support of the public credit. (2) Section 321 of title 31, United States Code, codifies the duty to prepare plans for improving and managing receipts of the United States Government and managing the public debt . (3) In carrying out the statutory responsibilities to support of the public credit and managing the public debt the Secretary shall take all necessary actions to ensure all obligations of the United States Government with regard to debt held by the public are fully discharged when due. (4) Such actions may include the forgoing of obligations not related to debt held by the public for a period of time deemed necessary by the Secretary as authorized under section 324 of title 31, United States Code, which states that— (a) The Secretary of the Treasury may— (1) dispose of obligations— (A) acquired by the Secretary for the United States Government; or (B) delivered by an executive agency; and (2) make arrangements to extend the maturity of those obligations. (b) The Secretary may dispose or extend the maturity of obligations under subsection (a) of this section in the way, in amounts, at prices (for cash, obligations, property, or a combination of cash, obligations, or property), and on conditions the Secretary considers advisable and in the public interest. . 3. Duty to protect the full faith and credit of the United States Government (a) In general In the event that the debt of the United States Government, as defined in section 3101 of title 31, United States Code, reaches the statutory limit, the authority of the Department of the Treasury provided in section 3123 of title 31, United States Code, to pay with legal tender the principal and interest on debt held by the public shall take priority over all other obligations incurred by the Government of the United States. (b) Special rule for insufficiency of funds Section 324 of title 31, United States Code, is amended by redesignating subsection (c) as subsection (e), and by inserting after subsection (b) the following: (c) If the Secretary expects that there will be insufficient funds available to dispose of all obligations consisting of interest and principal of the debt held by the public on the next calendar day on which such obligations are due, then the Secretary shall extend the maturities of any other obligations under section (a) and refuse to issue warrants under section 321(a)(3) to the extent necessary to provide such funds as the Secretary deems prudent to dispose of obligations consisting of interest and principal of the debt held by the public for no less than the next 30 calendar days. (d) To the extent receipts exceed those required to meet the Secretary’s obligation under subsection (c), the Secretary shall prioritize the disposal of obligations under subsection (a) and issuance of warrants under section 321(a)(3) in that order the Secretary considers advisable and in the public interest. ."}}},{"rowIdx":1532,"cells":{"tv_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-807-rfs-dtd"},"legis_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-807"},"congress_num":{"kind":"number","value":113,"string":"113"},"legis_type":{"kind":"string","value":"hr"},"legis_num":{"kind":"number","value":807,"string":"807"},"legis_version":{"kind":"string","value":"rfs"},"legis_class":{"kind":"string","value":"bills"},"bulk_path":{"kind":"string","value":"data/govinfo/BILLS/113/1/hr/BILLS-113hr807rfs.xml"},"file_name":{"kind":"string","value":"BILLS-113hr807rfs.xml"},"lastmod":{"kind":"string","value":"2023-01-07 11:21:03.695"},"xml_type":{"kind":"string","value":"dtd"},"root_tag":{"kind":"string","value":"bill"},"tv_xml":{"kind":"string","value":"<?xml-stylesheet type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"billres.xsl\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE bill PUBLIC \"-//US Congress//DTDs/bill.dtd//EN\" \"bill.dtd\">\n<bill bill-stage=\"Referred-in-Senate\" bill-type=\"olc\" dms-id=\"HE8A537BA8B9A4F798F479F0F75629B75\" key=\"H\" public-private=\"public\" stage-count=\"1\">\n <metadata xmlns:dc=\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\">\n <dublinCore>\n <dc:title>\n 113 HR 807 : Full Faith and Credit Act\n </dc:title>\n <dc:publisher>\n U.S. House of Representatives\n </dc:publisher>\n <dc:date>\n 2013-05-13\n </dc:date>\n <dc:format>\n text/xml\n </dc:format>\n <dc:language>\n EN\n </dc:language>\n <dc:rights>\n Pursuant to Title 17 Section 105 of the United States Code, this file is not subject to copyright protection and is in the public domain.\n </dc:rights>\n </dublinCore>\n </metadata>\n <form>\n <distribution-code display=\"yes\">\n IIB\n </distribution-code>\n <congress>\n 113th CONGRESS\n </congress>\n <session>\n 1st Session\n </session>\n <legis-num>\n H.

(2) Section 321 of title 31, United States Code, codifies the duty to prepare plans for improving and managing receipts of the United States Government and managing the public debt . (3) In carrying out the statutory responsibilities to support of the public credit and managing the public debt the Secretary shall take all necessary actions to ensure all obligations of the United States Government with regard to debt held by the public are fully discharged when due. (4) Such actions may include the forgoing of obligations not related to debt held by the public for a period of time deemed necessary by the Secretary as authorized under section 324 of title 31, United States Code, which states that— (a) The Secretary of the Treasury may— (1) dispose of obligations— (A) acquired by the Secretary for the United States Government; or (B) delivered by an executive agency; and (2) make arrangements to extend the maturity of those obligations. (b) The Secretary may dispose or extend the maturity of obligations under subsection (a) of this section in the way, in amounts, at prices (for cash, obligations, property, or a combination of cash, obligations, or property), and on conditions the Secretary considers advisable and in the public interest. . 3. Duty to protect the full faith and credit of the United States Government (a) In general In the event that the debt of the United States Government, as defined in section 3101 of title 31, United States Code, reaches the statutory limit, the authority of the Department of the Treasury provided in section 3123 of title 31, United States Code, to pay with legal tender the principal and interest on debt held by the public shall take priority over all other obligations incurred by the Government of the United States. (b) Special rule for insufficiency of funds Section 324 of title 31, United States Code, is amended by redesignating subsection (c) as subsection (e), and by inserting after subsection (b) the following: (c) If the Secretary expects that there will be insufficient funds available to dispose of all obligations consisting of interest and principal of the debt held by the public on the next calendar day on which such obligations are due, then the Secretary shall extend the maturities of any other obligations under section (a) and refuse to issue warrants under section 321(a)(3) to the extent necessary to provide such funds as the Secretary deems prudent to dispose of obligations consisting of interest and principal of the debt held by the public for no less than the next 30 calendar days. (d) To the extent receipts exceed those required to meet the Secretary’s obligation under subsection (c), the Secretary shall prioritize the disposal of obligations under subsection (a) and issuance of warrants under section 321(a)(3) in that order the Secretary considers advisable and in the public interest. .\n\n1.

(d) Report on certain actions (1) In general If, after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury exercises his authority under subsection (a), the Secretary shall thereafter submit a report each week providing an accounting relating to— (A) the principal on mature obligations and interest that is due or accrued of the United States, and (B) any obligations issued pursuant to subsection (a).

Title II—OTHER MATTERS Sec. 201. Legislative recommendations of the Secretary. Sec. 202. Peace Days. Sec. 203. Definitions. Sec. 204. Authorization of appropriations. 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously declared the independence of the 13 colonies, and the achievement of peace was recognized as one of the highest duties of the new organization of free and independent States by declaring, We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. (2) The Constitution of the United States of America, in its Preamble, further sets forth the insurance of the cause of peace in stating: We the People of the United States, in Order to Form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity . (3) During the course of the 20th century, more than 100,000,000 people perished in wars. The United States has been at war over the past decade, with 6,600 members of the Armed Forces and hundreds of thousands of civilians estimated to have been killed in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. (4) Every year 300,000 people are killed by gun violence around the world. In the United States, 100,000 people are shot each year in murders, assaults, suicides and suicide attempts, accidents, and police actions. Over 30,000 people die each year of gunshot wounds, 12,000 of whom are murdered. Every day, 50 children are shot, and 8 of those children die. (5) A 2004 World Health Organization report estimates that interpersonal violence within the United States costs approximately $300 billion annually, not including war-related costs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that an average of 16 people age 10 to 24 were murdered each day in the United States in 2005. The Pew Charitable Trust calculates that child abuse and neglect in the United States cost $103.8 billion in 2007. (6) In 1999, the United Nations adopted a Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace, stating that a culture of peace is an integral approach to preventing violence and violent conflicts, an alternative to the culture of war and violence, and is based on education for peace, the promotion of sustainable economic and social development, respect for human rights, equality between women and men, democratic participation, tolerance, and the free flow of information and disarmament. The United Nations declared the years 2001 through 2010 an International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World and the United Nations supports a culture of peace going forward. (7) On April 4, 2012, the Institute for Economics and Peace released a United States Peace Index, which assessed peacefulness at the State and city levels and analyzed the costs associated with violence and the socio-economic measures associated with peace. While violence within the United States had declined over the year 2011, violence and violence containment still cost the average taxpayer $3,257. The total cost of violence to the United States—including lost productivity from violence—was conservatively calculated to be over $460 billion. (8) A study by the Institute for Economics and Peace released September 20, 2012, reports conservative estimates for 2010, that 15 percent of the gross domestic product of the United States, or $15,000 per taxpayer, was spent on containing violence. The study included government, corporate, and individual expenditure, regardless of whether it was related to international affairs such as offshore military activities, or domestic spending such as dealing with crime and the consequences of crime. (9) Violence prevention is cost effective. For every dollar spent in violence prevention and peacebuilding, many lives and many dollars are saved. The philosophy and techniques of nonviolence and the science of peacebuilding provide tools and techniques that can be applied not only at the levels of individual and community growth, but also within the Federal Government and at national and international levels. (10) Peacebuilding is defined by the United Nations as a range of measures targeted to reduce the risk of lapsing or relapsing into conflict by strengthening national capacities at all levels for conflict management, and to lay the foundations for sustainable peace and development. Peacebuilding is built upon research into the root causes of violence in the United States and the world, through promotion and promulgation of effective policies and programs that ameliorate those root causes of violence, and through providing all citizens, organizations, and governmental bodies with opportunities to learn about and practice the essential tools of nonviolent conflict resolution and peacebuilding. (11) In 2000, the Earth Charter Commission released the Earth Charter, an international declaration of fundamental values and principles created to build a just, sustainable, and peaceful global society. The preamble of the Earth Charter provides, To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace. Peacebuilding is working together with all nations to protect both life and land and hold the Earth in balance. I ESTABLISHMENT OF DEPARTMENT OF PEACEBUILDING 101.

Authorization of appropriations. 2. Findings The Congress finds the following: (1) All persons throughout the country should have access to and receive high-quality emergency medical care as part of a coordinated emergency medical services system. (2) Properly functioning emergency medical services (EMS) systems, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, are essential to ensure access to emergency medical care and transport for all patients with emergency medical conditions. Such coordinated EMS systems are also necessary for response to catastrophic incidents. (3) Ensuring high-quality and cost-effective EMS systems requires readiness, preparedness, medical direction, oversight, and innovation throughout the continuum of emergency medical care through Federal, State, and local multijurisdictional collaboration and sufficient resources for EMS agencies and providers. (4) At the Federal level, EMS responsibilities and resources of several Federal agencies consistent with their expertise and authority must emphasize the critical importance of Federal agency collaboration and coordination for all emergency medical services. (5) At the State and local level, EMS systems and agencies require the coordination and improved capabilities of multiple and diverse stakeholders. (6) Emergency medical services encompass the provision of care provided to patients with emergency medical conditions throughout the continuum, including emergency medical care and trauma care provided in the field, hospital, and rehabilitation settings. (7) Field EMS comprises essential emergency medical services, including medical care or medical transport provided to patients prior to or outside medical facilities and other clinical settings. The primary purpose of field emergency medical services is to ensure that emergency medical patients receive the right care at the right place in the right amount of time. (8) Coordinated and high-quality field EMS is essential to the Nation’s security. Field EMS is an essential public service provided by governmental and nongovernmental agencies and practitioners 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and during catastrophic incidents. To ensure disaster and all-hazards preparedness for EMS operations as part of the Nation’s comprehensive disaster preparedness, Federal funding for preparedness activities, including catastrophic training and drills, must be provided to governmental and nongovernmental EMS agencies so as to ensure a greater capability within each of these areas. (9) Numerous recommendations from several significant national reports and documents have demonstrated the need in multiple areas for substantial improvement of emergency medical services provided in the field, including recommendations in the EMS Agenda for the Future, the Institute of Medicine report The Future of Emergency Care in the United Health System , and the National EMS Education Agenda for the Future: A Systems Approach and recommendations by the National EMS Workforce Injury and Illness Surveillance Program, the Department of Transportation’s National EMS Advisory Council (NEMSAC), and the Federal Interagency Committee on Emergency Medical Services (FICEMS). (10) To substantially improve field EMS, advancements must be made in several essential areas including readiness, innovation, preparedness, education and workforce development, safety, financing, quality, standards, and research. (11) The recognition of a primary programmatic Federal agency for emergency medical services within the Department of Health and Human Services was recommended by the Institute of Medicine and is necessary to provide a more streamlined, cost-efficient, and comprehensive approach for field EMS and a focal point for practitioners and agencies to interface with the Federal Government. (12) The essential role of field EMS in disaster preparedness and response must be incorporated into the national preparedness and response strategy and implementation as provided and overseen by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to their respective jurisdictions. (13) The essential role of NHTSA in the continued development of NEMSIS and in overseeing transportation issues related to field EMS such as EMS and ambulance vehicle safety standards should be maintained. (14) FICEMS must continue in its essential role in coordinating the Federal activities related to the full spectrum of EMS. 3.

Additional restrictions on access to Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area for species protection (a) In general If, based on peer-reviewed science and after public comment, the Secretary determines that additional restrictions on access to a portion of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area are necessary to protect species listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ( 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq. ), the Secretary may only restrict, by limitation, closure, buffer, or otherwise, pedestrian and motorized vehicular access for recreational activities for the shortest possible time and on the smallest possible portions of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area. (b) Limitation on restrictions Restrictions imposed under this section for protection of species listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ( 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq. ) shall not be greater than the restrictions in effect for that species at any other National Seashore. (c) Corridors around closures To the maximum extent possible, the Secretary shall designate pedestrian and vehicular corridors of minimal distance on the beach or interdunal area around closures implemented under this section to allow access to areas not closed. 4. Inapplicability of final rule and consent degree (a) Final rule The final rule titled Special Regulations, Areas of the National Park System, Cape Hatteras National Seashore—Off-Road Vehicle Management (77 Fed. Reg. 3123–3144) shall have no force or effect after the date of the enactment of this Act. (b) Consent decree The April 30, 2008, consent decree filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina regarding off-road vehicle use at Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina shall not apply after the date of the enactment of this Act.\n\nJuly 9, 2013 Reported from the Committee on Natural Resources July 9, 2013 The Committee on the Judiciary discharged; committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union and ordered to be printed"}}},{"rowIdx":1548,"cells":{"tv_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-820-ih-dtd"},"legis_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-820"},"congress_num":{"kind":"number","value":113,"string":"113"},"legis_type":{"kind":"string","value":"hr"},"legis_num":{"kind":"number","value":820,"string":"820"},"legis_version":{"kind":"string","value":"ih"},"legis_class":{"kind":"string","value":"bills"},"bulk_path":{"kind":"string","value":"data/govinfo/BILLS/113/1/hr/BILLS-113hr820ih.xml"},"file_name":{"kind":"string","value":"BILLS-113hr820ih.xml"},"lastmod":{"kind":"string","value":"2023-01-08 17:37:44.874"},"xml_type":{"kind":"string","value":"dtd"},"root_tag":{"kind":"string","value":"bill"},"tv_xml":{"kind":"string","value":"<?xml-stylesheet type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"billres.xsl\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE bill PUBLIC \"-//US Congress//DTDs/bill.dtd//EN\" \"bill.dtd\">\n<bill bill-stage=\"Introduced-in-House\" bill-type=\"olc\" dms-id=\"H2E81C4E1C78E46118CDF8773BF04FAC6\" public-private=\"public\">\n <metadata xmlns:dc=\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\">\n <dublinCore>\n <dc:title>\n 113 HR 820 IH: Delivering Antimicrobial Transparency in Animals Act of 2013\n </dc:title>\n <dc:publisher>\n U.S. House of Representatives\n </dc:publisher>\n <dc:date>\n 2013-02-26\n </dc:date>\n <dc:format>\n text/xml\n </dc:format>\n <dc:language>\n EN\n </dc:language>\n <dc:rights>\n Pursuant to Title 17 Section 105 of the United States Code, this file is not subject to copyright protection and is in the public domain.\n </dc:rights>\n </dublinCore>\n </metadata>\n <form>\n <distribution-code display=\"yes\">\n I\n </distribution-code>\n <congress>\n 113th CONGRESS\n </congress>\n <session>\n 1st Session\n </session>\n <legis-num>\n H.

R. 820 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 26, 2013 Mr. Waxman (for himself and Ms. Slaughter ) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce A BILL To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to enhance the reporting requirements pertaining to use of antimicrobial drugs in food animals.\n\n1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Delivering Antimicrobial Transparency in Animals Act of 2013 . 2. Findings The Congress finds the following: (1) Antimicrobials are of critical importance to public health and to the American economy. (2) Use of antimicrobials, whether in human medicine or in agriculture, contributes to the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance. (3) Data from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicate that approximately 80 percent of all antimicrobials sold in the United States, over 29,000,000 pounds in 2009, were sold for use in food animals. (4) A study published in September, 2012, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America found that even low doses of antimicrobials in animal feed for short periods of time increased the prevalence of the bacteria E. coli and the prevalence and diversity of antimicrobial resistance genes in bacteria in pigs. (5) Public Law 110–316, the Animal Drug User Fee Amendments of 2008, requires producers of drugs used in food animals to provide specified information annually to the FDA on the sales and indications for use of such drugs. (6) A September 2011 study by the Government Accountability Office found that the data provided to the FDA under the Animal Drug User Fee Amendments Act of 2008 lacked sufficient details necessary to analyze trends in antimicrobial resistance, such as information on actual drug use in specific food-producing animal species. 3. Purpose The purpose of this Act is to provide the Food and Drug Administration and the public with better information on the use of antimicrobial drugs in animals used for food to— (1) enable public health officials and scientists to better understand and interpret trends and variations in rates of microbial resistance to such antimicrobial drugs; (2) improve the understanding of the relationship between antimicrobial drug use in animals used for food and antimicrobial drug resistance in microbes in and on animals and humans; and (3) identify interventions to prevent and control such antimicrobial drug resistance. 4. Enhanced reporting requirements (a) Reports Section 512(l) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ( 21 U.S.C. 360b(l) ) is amended by striking paragraph (3) and inserting the following: (3) (A) In the case of each new animal drug described in paragraph (1) that contains an antimicrobial active ingredient, the sponsor of the drug shall submit an annual report to the Secretary on the amount of each antimicrobial active ingredient in the drug that is sold or distributed for use in food-producing animals, including information on any distributor-labeled product. (B) Each report under this paragraph shall specify the amount of each antimicrobial active ingredient— (i) by container size, strength, and dosage form; (ii) by quantities distributed to each State domestically and by quantities exported; and (iii) by dosage form, including (for each dosage form) the known or estimated amounts of the antimicrobial active ingredient sold or distributed for use in each food-producing animal for which the new animal drug is approved, including a description of the methods used to determine or estimate the amounts. (4) (A) Subject to subparagraph (B), in the case of animal feed in final formulation bearing or containing a new animal drug for which reporting is required under paragraph (3), a live poultry dealer, swine contractor, or feed lot operator who purchases, contracts, or manufactures such feed shall submit to the Secretary an annual report that specifies, by food-producing animal for which the new animal drug is approved and, where applicable as determined by the Secretary, by production class of such animal— (i) the amount of each antimicrobial active ingredient contained per kilogram of each such feed sold or distributed for that animal and, where applicable, production class; (ii) the quantity of such feed sold or distributed for that animal and, where applicable, production class; and (iii) for each such feed sold or distributed under a veterinary feed directive— (I) the indications for which the feed was sold or distributed and the quantities of such feed that were sold or distributed per each such indication; (II) the number of individuals of the food-producing animal and, where applicable, the production class to which the feed was intended; and (III) the length of time over which the feed was intended to be provided to the animals and the dose of the active antimicrobial ingredient the animals were intended to receive. (B) (i) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to a live poultry dealer, swine contractor, or feed lot operator if the total value of the live animals owned, purchased, sold, contracted for, or otherwise controlled by the dealer, contractor, or operator, directly or through subsidiaries or affiliates, per year, does not exceed— (I) $10,000,000; or (II) such other sum as the Secretary may specify through regulation. (ii) The Secretary may specify through regulation alternative reporting requirements, including via pilot programs or based on the results of pilot programs— (I) to improve the accuracy of reports; (II) to lessen the burden of reporting; (III) to facilitate the Secretary’s ability to provide public summaries of the reports; or (IV) to improve the Secretary’s ability to use the reports, or the public’s ability to use the summaries under paragraph (5), to understand the relationship between sales, distribution, and end-use practices with respect to feed containing new animal drugs described in paragraph (1) and antimicrobial resistance trends in microbes in animals, animal food products, and humans. (5) (A) Each report under paragraph (3) or (4) shall— (i) be submitted electronically not later than March 31 each year; (ii) cover the period of the preceding calendar year; (iii) include separate information for each month of such calendar year; and (iv) be in such format as the Secretary may require. (B) In specifying a format under subparagraph (A)(iv), the Secretary shall seek to ensure that such format enables the data reported to be integrated or otherwise easily associated and compared with data from other Federal databases containing data on— (i) drug sales for human use; and (ii) rates of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria in and on animals, animal food products, and people. (C) The Secretary may share information reported under paragraph (3) or (4) with the Antimicrobial Resistance Task Force established under section 319E of the Public Health Service Act. (D) (i) Not later than November 30 each year, the Secretary shall make publicly available summaries of the information reported under paragraphs (3) and (4). (ii) For each summary under clause (i), except as provided in clause (iii), the Secretary shall— (I) report data by antimicrobial drug class; (II) for each such antimicrobial drug class, specify— (aa) the quantity of drugs sold or distributed per dosage form; (bb) the percentage of drugs sold or distributed with labeled indications that fall within each of the following categories: growth promotion, feed efficiency, or other production purposes; disease prevention; disease control; and disease treatment; (cc) the quantity of drugs sold or distributed per each of the following marketing categories: over-the-counter, prescription, and veterinary feed directive; (dd) the quantity of drugs sold or distributed per State of sale or distribution; and (ee) the known or estimated quantity of drugs sold or distributed for each food-producing animal and, where feasible, production class of such animal; and (III) for each feed sold or distributed under a veterinary food directive for which reporting is required under paragraph (4), include the information reported pursuant to subclauses (I), (II), and (III) of paragraph (4)(A)(iii). (iii) For any antimicrobial drug class with fewer than 3 sponsors of approved new animal drugs, instead of reporting data under clause (ii), the Secretary shall for each such class— (I) report data by category of importance of the antimicrobial drugs within that class to human medicine, as determined by the Secretary; and (II) to the extent feasible for each such category, specify— (aa) the quantity of drugs sold or distributed per dosage form; (bb) the percentage of drugs sold or distributed with labeled indications that fall within each of the following categories: growth promotion, feed efficiency, or other production purposes; disease prevention; disease control; and disease treatment; (cc) the quantity of drugs sold or distributed per each of the following marketing categories: over-the-counter, prescription, and veterinary feed directive; and (dd) the quantity of drugs sold or distributed per State of sale or distribution. (iv) In carrying out this subparagraph, the Secretary shall report data in a manner consistent with protecting both national security and confidential business information. (E) In this paragraph, the terms live poultry dealer and swine contractor have the meanings given to those terms in section 2 of the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921. . (b) Rule of application The amendment made by this section applies to reports under paragraphs (3) and (4) of section 512(l) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ( 21 U.S.C. 360b(l) ) (as amended by subsection (a)) that cover the period of calendar year 2014 or any subsequent calendar year. The provisions of section 512(l)(3) of such Act, as in effect the day before the date of enactment of this Act, apply to reports that cover the period of calendar year 2013. 5. Enhanced collaboration between the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture The Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, shall increase collaboration and coordination with the Secretary of Agriculture to expand and coordinate the collection of data on the use of antimicrobial drugs in or on cattle, swine, chickens, turkeys, and such other food-producing animal species as agreed to by the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Agriculture, including by providing information to the Secretary of Agriculture for use by— (1) the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service to help inform its collection of data through the National Animal Health Monitoring System; and (2) the Economic Research Service to help inform its collection of data through the Agricultural Resource Management Survey. 6. Action by Government Accountability Office (a) Publication of final guidance Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall publish a final version of draft guidance #213, entitled New Animal Drugs and New Animal Drug Combination Products Administered in or on Medicated Feed or Drinking Water of Food-Producing Animals: Recommendations for Drug Sponsors for Voluntarily Aligning Product Use Conditions with GFI #209 . (b) Report by GAO (1) In general Not later than 3 years after the publication of final guidance pursuant to subsection (a), the Comptroller General of the United States shall commence a study to evaluate— (A) the voluntary approach used by the Food and Drug Administration to eliminate injudicious use of antimicrobial drugs in food-producing animals; and (B) the effectiveness of the data collection activities conducted by the Food and Drug Administration regarding antimicrobial resistance. (2) Report Not later than 1 year after commencing the study required by paragraph (1), the Comptroller General of the United States shall submit to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions of the Senate and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives a report that describes the results of such study."}}},{"rowIdx":1549,"cells":{"tv_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-821-ih-dtd"},"legis_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-821"},"congress_num":{"kind":"number","value":113,"string":"113"},"legis_type":{"kind":"string","value":"hr"},"legis_num":{"kind":"number","value":821,"string":"821"},"legis_version":{"kind":"string","value":"ih"},"legis_class":{"kind":"string","value":"bills"},"bulk_path":{"kind":"string","value":"data/govinfo/BILLS/113/1/hr/BILLS-113hr821ih.xml"},"file_name":{"kind":"string","value":"BILLS-113hr821ih.xml"},"lastmod":{"kind":"string","value":"2023-01-08 17:37:44.061"},"xml_type":{"kind":"string","value":"dtd"},"root_tag":{"kind":"string","value":"bill"},"tv_xml":{"kind":"string","value":"<?xml-stylesheet type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"billres.xsl\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE bill PUBLIC \"-//US Congress//DTDs/bill.dtd//EN\" \"bill.dtd\">\n<bill bill-stage=\"Introduced-in-House\" bill-type=\"olc\" dms-id=\"H4ED9A940926E41919402C729BB150268\" public-private=\"public\">\n <metadata xmlns:dc=\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\">\n <dublinCore>\n <dc:title>\n 113 HR 821 IH: To amend the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to provide surviving spouses with certain protections relating to mortgages and mortgage foreclosures, and for other purposes.\n </dc:title>\n <dc:publisher>\n U.S. House of Representatives\n </dc:publisher>\n <dc:date>\n 2013-02-26\n </dc:date>\n <dc:format>\n text/xml\n </dc:format>\n <dc:language>\n EN\n </dc:language>\n <dc:rights>\n Pursuant to Title 17 Section 105 of the United States Code, this file is not subject to copyright protection and is in the public domain.\n </dc:rights>\n </dublinCore>\n </metadata>\n <form>\n <distribution-code display=\"yes\">\n I\n </distribution-code>\n <congress>\n 113th CONGRESS\n </congress>\n <session>\n 1st Session\n </session>\n <legis-num>\n H.

R. 822 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 26, 2013 Mr. Van Hollen (for himself, Mr. Petri , and Mr. Walz ) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce A BILL To improve and expand geographic literacy among kindergarten through grade 12 students in the United States by improving professional development programs for kindergarten through grade 12 teachers offered through institutions of higher education.\n\n1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Teaching Geography is Fundamental Act . 2. Geography education Title II of the Higher Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 1021 et seq. ) is amended by adding at the end the following: D Geography education 271. Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The economic stature and competitiveness of the United States requires increasingly sophisticated levels of geographic knowledge and mastery of geographic tools. (2) It is estimated that the United States geospatial industry generated $73,000,000,000 in revenue last year, with half a million high-wage jobs, and that the industry is growing at between 25-30 percent per year. This burgeoning industry will not be able to maximize its growth potential without a sustained Federal investment in geography education. (3) A 2012 report by a Council on Foreign Relations task force, United States Education Reform and National Security, states that the lack of global awareness among American citizens increasingly jeopardizes their ability to interact with local and global peers or participate meaningfully in business, diplomatic, and military situations. (4) Geographic literacy is essential to a well prepared citizenry in the 21st century because geographic factors assume greater importance as the world’s economies, societies, and political structures grow more global in scale. (5) The 2010 National Assessment of Educational Progress in geography shows that fewer than 30 percent of students tested in grades four, eight, and twelve scored at grade-level or above. These scores have stayed the same or gotten worse since the last time the test was administered in 2001. (6) The National Academy of Sciences urged creation of a national program to improve the geographic competence of the United States general population and the school age population. (7) Geography is one of the core academic subjects defined under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. (8) A recent National Geographic Society survey found that all 50 States and the District of Columbia recognize geography in their curricula or content standards, and an increasing number require geography for graduation and include geography in mandated statewide assessments. (9) Seven of ten educators responding to a National Geographic survey felt their professional development opportunities in geography were inadequate and half believed their schools had inadequate basic materials for teaching geography. (10) The National Geographic Society has spent more than 25 years pioneering an extraordinarily effective national program for improving the teaching of geography by engaging university faculty, geographers, and highly trained teachers in State Geographic Alliances dedicated to providing high-quality professional development opportunities for kindergarten through grade 12 teachers. (11) More than 80 colleges and universities in all 50 States have received grants from the National Geographic Society to support State Geographic Alliances and their professional development programs. Alliance-trained kindergarten through grade 12 teachers and their higher education partners conduct workshops, develop localized teaching materials, and facilitate communication among thousands of teachers whose responsibilities include teaching of geography in various formats and grade levels. (12) A study by Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning that assessed student academic achievement in geography on the National Assessment of Educational Progress showed that students taught by Alliance-trained teachers out-performed other students by almost 10 percent. (13) We live in a changing world with multiple and evolving threats to national security, including terrorism, asymmetrical warfare, and social unrest. As the nature of the threat evolves, so do the tools, knowledge, and skills needed to respond. A 2013 National Academies report states that it is likely that qualified Geography Information Systems and remote sensing experts are already hard to find. Long before 2030, competition and a small number of graduates will likely result in shortages in all emerging areas and in the core areas of cartography, photogammetry, and geodesy. 272. Purposes and objectives (a) Purpose The purpose of this part is to promote geographic literacy and improved understanding of global cultures among kindergarten through grade 12 students by expanding programs that employ the geographic knowledge and expertise of faculty members in institutions of higher education for the benefit of kindergarten through grade 12 teachers and to otherwise advance geographic literacy. (b) Objectives The objectives of this part are the following: (1) To increase students knowledge of, and achievement in, standards-based geography to enable the students to become better informed and more productive citizens. (2) To increase the number of highly qualified teachers of United States and world geography and to enable the teachers to improve student mastery of geographic principles and practical applications of those principles. (3) To encourage geographic education research, to develop and disseminate effective instructional materials, and to promote replication of best practices and exemplary programs that foster geographic literacy. (4) To assist States in measuring the impact of education in geography. (5) To leverage and expand private and public support for geography education partnerships at national, State, and local levels. 273. Grant program authorized The Secretary is authorized to award a grant to a national nonprofit educational organization or a consortium of organizations (hereafter in this part referred to as the grantee ) that has as its primary purpose the improvement of the quality of student understanding of geography through effective teaching of geography in the Nation’s classrooms. 274. Use of funds (a) Direct activities The grantee shall use not more than 25 percent of the funds made available through the grant for a fiscal year— (1) to strengthen and expand the grantee’s relationships with institutions of higher education and with State educational agencies and local educational agencies and other public and private organizations with a commitment to geography education and the benefits of geography education; (2) to support and promote research-based training of teachers of geography and related disciplines in kindergarten through grade 12 as a means of broadening student knowledge of the world, including the dissemination of information on effective practices and research findings concerning the teaching of geography; (3) to support research on effective geography teaching practices and the development of assessment instruments and strategies to document student understanding of geography; (4) to convene national conferences on geography education to assess the current state of geographic literacy and to identify strategies for improvement; and (5) to develop and disseminate appropriate research-based materials to foster geographic literacy. (b) Subgrants (1) In general The grantee shall use not more than 75 percent of the funds made available through the grant for a fiscal year to award subgrants to eligible recipients. (2) Eligible recipient defined In this part the term eligible recipient means an institution of higher education associated with— (A) a State geographic alliance; (B) a nonprofit educational organization; (C) a State educational agency or local educational agency; or (D) a partnership between or among an alliance, organization, or agency described in subparagraph (A), (B) or (C). (3) Subgrant uses of funds Eligible recipients shall use the subgrant funds for 1 or more of the following purposes: (A) Conducting teacher training programs that use effective and research-based approaches to the teaching of geography at the kindergarten through grade 12 level. (B) Applying Geographic Information System (GIS) or other geographic technological tools to the teaching of geography. (C) Applying Internet and other distance learning technology to the teaching of geography or to the continuing education of teachers. (D) Promoting rigorous academic standards and assessment techniques to guide and measure student performance in geography. (E) Promoting research in geography education, emphasizing research that leads to improving student achievement. (F) Carrying out local, field-based activities for teachers and students to improve their knowledge of the concepts and tools of geography while enhancing understanding of their home region. (G) Promoting comparative studies of world cultures, economies, and environments. (H) Encouraging replication of best practices and model programs to promote geographic literacy. (I) Developing and disseminating effective, research-based geography learning materials. (J) Convening State-based conferences to assess the state of geographic literacy and to identify strategies for improvement. 275.

Workforce limits and reductions (a) In general The President, through the Office of Management and Budget (in consultation with the Office of Personnel Management), shall take appropriate measures to ensure that, effective with respect to each quarter beginning after the date of the enactment of this Act, the total number of Federal employees determined for such quarter does not exceed the applicable maximum for such quarter. (b) Applicable maximum For purposes of this Act, the applicable maximum for a quarter is— (1) in the case of a quarter before the target-attainment quarter, the number equal to— (A) the total number of Federal employees determined for the baseline quarter, reduced by (B) 2/3 of the number of Federal employees separating from agencies during the period— (i) beginning on the first day following the baseline quarter; and (ii) ending on the last day of the quarter to which the applicable maximum is being applied; and (2) in the case of the target-attainment quarter and any subsequent quarter, the number equal to 90 percent of the total number of Federal employees as of September 30, 2012.

(g) Limitation on procurement of service contracts The President, through the Office of Management and Budget (in consultation with the Office of Personnel Management), shall take appropriate measures to ensure that there is no increase in the procurement of service contracts by reason of the enactment of this Act, except in cases in which a cost comparison demonstrates that such contracts would be to the financial advantage of the Government. 4.

The Secretary of Homeland Security shall ensure that verification by means of a toll-free telephone line is an available option in complying with the preceding sentence. (2) Select entities required to use e-verify program immediately The following entities must satisfy the requirement in paragraph (1) by not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act: (A) Federal agencies Each department and agency of the Federal Government. (B) Federal contractors A contractor that— (i) has entered into a contract with the Federal Government to which section 2(b)(1) of the Service Contract Act of 1965 ( 41 U.S.C. 351(b)(1) ) applies, and any subcontractor under such contract; or (ii) has entered into a contract exempted from the application of such Act by section 6 of such Act ( 41 U.S.C. 356 ), and any subcontractor under such contract. (C) Large employers An employer that employs more than 250 individuals in the United States. (3) Phasing-in for other employers (A) Two years for employers of 100 or more Entities that employ 100 or more individuals in the United States must satisfy the requirement in paragraph (1) by not later than two years after the date of the enactment of this Act. (B) Three years for employers with 30 or more employees All entities that employ 30 or more individuals in the United States must satisfy the requirement in paragraph (1) by not later than three years after the date of the enactment of this Act. (C) Four years for all employers All entities that employ one or more individuals in the United States must satisfy the requirement in paragraph (1) by not later than four years after the date of the enactment of this Act. (4) Verifying employment authorization of current employees Every person or other entity that employs one or more persons in the United States shall verify through the E-Verify program by not later than four years after the date of the enactment of this Act that each employee is authorized to work in the United States. (5) Defense In accordance with section 274A(a)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1324a(a)(3) ), a person or entity that establishes that it has complied in good faith with the requirements of section 274A(b) of such Act with respect to the hiring, recruiting, or referral for employment of an alien in the United States has established an affirmative defense that the person or entity has not violated section 274A(a)(1)(A) of such Act with respect to such hiring, recruiting or referral. Furthermore an employer who has complied with the requirements in paragraphs (1) and (4) of this Act shall not be liable for hiring an unauthorized alien, if— (A) such hiring occurred due to an error in the E-Verify program that was unknown to the employer at the time of such hiring; and (B) the employer terminates the employment of the alien upon being informed of the error.

(8) State interference No State may prohibit a person or other entity from using the E-Verify program to verify the employment authorization of new hires or current employees. (9) E- V erify study (A) Findings The Congress finds as follows: (i) A majority of the 0.4 percent of tentative non-confirmations that are issued within E-Verify to work authorized individuals occur due to incorrect or outdated information in the databases utilized by the system. For instance, an individual may have changed his or her name legally but has not updated their Social Security information to account for this change. This person would likely receive a tentative non-confirmation if their work eligibility were checked using E-Verify. (ii) E-Verify already provides employers and employees with simple and clear instructions on how inconsistencies in data can be corrected in order to verify the work eligibility of an employee. However, giving an individual the ability to verify his or her own employment eligibility in advance of an official E-Verify query by an employer would allow that individual to correct data errors at his or her convenience. This may also serve to lessen peak demand on Social Security Administration field offices. (B) Study The Government Accountability Office shall conduct a study to examine the potential of a secure method of allowing individuals to check their own work eligibility, so that they can address inconsistencies in their personal data that might otherwise cause them to be issued a tentative non-confirmation by E-Verify. The study shall be published within 6 months after the date of enactment of this Act. (10) Document fraud study The Government Accountability Office shall conduct a study to examine methods to combat document fraud, theft and forgery in the use and expansion of the E-Verify program. The report shall make recommendations to the appropriate agencies on ways to reduce instances of document fraud, theft and forgery. The report shall be published within six months after enactment of this Act. 202.

(2) Information to be shared with the Secretary shall include, at a minimum, the name and mailing address of all employees who are the subject of an unresolved mismatch notification or who are unauthorized users of another individual’s Social Security account number. The names and addresses of the employers of these employees must also be provided. (3) The Secretary shall report to the Congress annually the number of cases that the Commissioner of Social Security has shared with the Department of Homeland Security regarding unauthorized users of a Social Security number and the actions that have been taken to resolve these cases. The first report shall be presented to Congress 1 year after the passage of this Act. 204.

(9) Not later than 6 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, submit to Congress a report on whether there is a need for Federal laws to address penalties for fraud and misuse of vital records and whether violations are sufficiently enforced. 205. Penalty for failure to file correct information returns (a) In general Section 6721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ( 26 U.S.C. 6721 ) is amended by adding at the end the following: (g) Most egregious noncompliant employers The Secretary shall assess the maximum allowable penalties on 100 percent of the employers designated in any tax year by the Social Security Administration as the most egregious noncompliant employers.

R. 831 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 26, 2013 Mr. Harper (for himself, Mr. Alexander , Mr. Bishop of Georgia , Mr. Conyers , Mr. Ellison , Mr. Hastings of Florida , Ms. Moore , Ms. Norton , Mr. Rush , Mr. Tonko , Mr. Young of Alaska , and Mr. Clyburn ) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce A BILL To phase out special wage certificates under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 under which individuals with disabilities may be employed at subminimum wage rates.\n\n1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Fair Wages for Workers with Disabilities Act of 2013 . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Current Federal law allows the Secretary of Labor to grant special wage certificates to entities that provide employment to workers with disabilities, allowing such entities to pay their disabled workers at rates that are lower than the Federal minimum wage. (2) The practice of paying workers with disabilities less than the Federal minimum wage dates back to the 1930s, when there were virtually no employment opportunities for disabled workers in the mainstream workforce. (3) Today, advancements in vocational rehabilitation, technology, and training provide disabled workers with greater opportunities than in the past, and the number of such workers in the national workforce has dramatically increased. (4) Employees with disabilities, when provided the proper rehabilitation services, training, and tools, can be as productive as nondisabled employees. Even those individuals that are considered most severely disabled have been able to successfully obtain employment earning minimum wage or higher. (5) While some employers possessing special wage certificates claim to provide rehabilitation and training to disabled workers to prepare them for competitive employment, the fact that such employers can pay their workers less than the Federal minimum wage gives them an incentive to exploit the cheap labor provided by their disabled workers rather than to prepare those workers for integrated employment in the mainstream economy. (6) Many employers with a history of paying subminimum wages benefit from philanthropic donations and preferred status when bidding on Federal contracts. Yet they claim that paying minimum wage to their employees with disabilities would result in lack of profitability and forced reduction of their workforces. (7) Other employers, recognizing that the payment of subminimum wages is in fact exploitation of disabled workers, are now paying the Federal minimum wage, or higher, to their employees with disabilities without reducing their workforces, while still maintaining their profitability. For example, National Industries for the Blind (NIB) agencies exploited their blind employees for years through the payment of subminimum wages, claiming they could not maintain profitability otherwise. Now, All NIB associated agencies are committed to the NIB Board policy to pay employees, whose only disability is blindness, at or above the Federal minimum wage or their state minimum wage, whichever is highest. (8) The Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor is charged with the responsibility for oversight of these special wage certificates. The results from thorough investigations conducted by the Government Accountability Office— Stronger Federal Efforts Needed for Providing Employment Opportunities and Enforcing Labor Standards in Sheltered Workshops, Report to the Congress, Comptroller General of the United States (HRD–81–99) and Report to Congressional Requesters, Special Wage Program: Centers Offer Employment and Support Services to Workers With Disabilities, But Labor Should Improve Oversight (GAO–01–886)—explain that due to lack of capacity, training, and resources, the Wage and Hour Division is incapable of enforcing compliance with the subminimum wage provision. Furthermore, the significant appropriation that would be required to improve oversight of the regulation would be better spent improving employment outcomes for people with disabilities. (9) According to the rules established under section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, employers are to determine the special wage to be paid to a disabled employee through a complicated method that unfairly establishes a productivity benchmark that would be difficult for anyone to maintain. The inability of many employers to correctly establish the wage pursuant to the rule has regularly resulted in disabled employees receiving even less than the special minimum wage (below the federally established minimum wage) that they should have received under the regulation. 3.

R. 837 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 26, 2013 Mr. Neal (for himself, Mr. Lewis , Mr. Kind , and Mr. Ellison ) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means A BILL To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to expand the availability of the saver’s credit, to make the credit refundable, and to make Federal matching contributions into the retirement savings of the taxpayer.\n\n1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Savings for American Families’ Future Act of 2013 . 2. Modification of saver’s credit (a) 50 percent credit for all taxpayers: expansion of phaseout ranges Subsection (b) of section 25B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended to read as follows: (b) Applicable percentage For purposes of this section— (1) In general Except as provided in paragraph (2), the applicable percentage is 50 percent. (2) Phaseout The percentage under paragraph (1) shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the number of percentage points which bears the same ratio to 50 percentage points as— (A) the excess of— (i) the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income for such taxable year, over (ii) the applicable dollar amount, bears to (B) the phaseout range. If any reduction determined under this paragraph is not a whole percentage point, such reduction shall be rounded to the nearest whole percentage point. (3) Applicable dollar amount; phaseout range (A) Joint returns Except as provided in subparagraph (B)— (i) the applicable dollar amount is $65,000, and (ii) the phaseout range is $20,000. (B) Other returns In the case of— (i) a head of a household (as defined in section 2(b)), the applicable dollar amount and the phaseout range shall be 3/4 of the amounts applicable under subparagraph (A) (as adjusted under paragraph (4)), and (ii) any taxpayer who is not filing a joint return and who is not a head of a household (as so defined), the applicable dollar amount and the phaseout range shall be ½ of the amounts applicable under subparagraph (A) (as so adjusted). (4) Inflation adjustment of applicable dollar amount In the case of any taxable year beginning in a calendar year after 2014, the dollar amount in paragraph (3)(A)(i) shall be increased by an amount equal to— (A) such dollar amount, multiplied by (B) the cost-of-living adjustment determined under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in which the taxable year begins, determined by substituting calendar year 2013 for calendar year 1992 in subparagraph (B) thereof. Any increase determined under the preceding sentence shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of $500. . (b) Credit made refundable; matching contributions (1) Credit made refundable The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by moving section 25B to subpart C of part IV of subchapter A of chapter 1 of such Code (relating to refundable credits), by inserting section 25B after section 36B, and by redesignating section 25B as section 36C. (2) Matching contributions Section 36C of such Code, as redesignated by paragraph (1), is amended by adding at the end the following: (g) Matching contributions (1) In general The credit allowed to an eligible individual under this section for any taxable year shall be twice the credit which would (but for this subsection) be allowed if— (A) the individual consents to the application of paragraph (2), and (B) a designation by such individual is in effect for such year under paragraph (3). (2) Credit paid into designated retirement account Any credit under this section for any taxable year shall be paid by the Secretary into the designated retirement account of the individual for such year. The amount payable under the preceding sentence shall be subject to the reductions under section 6402 in the same manner as if such amount were an overpayment. The amount so paid shall be treated as refunded to such individual. (3) Designated retirement account For purposes of this subsection, the term designated retirement account means any account or plan— (A) of a type to which qualified retirement savings contributions may be made, (B) which is for such individual’s benefit, and (C) which is designated by such individual (in such form and manner as the Secretary may provide) on the return of tax for the taxable year. (4) Treatment of matching contributions In the case of an amount paid under paragraph (2) into a designated retirement account— (A) any dollar limitation otherwise applicable to the amount of contributions or deferrals to such account shall be increased by the amount so paid, (B) the individual’s basis in such account shall not be increased by reason of the amount so paid, and (C) such amount shall be treated as an employer contribution for the plan year in which such amount is paid for purposes of— (i) section 401(k)(3), and (ii) section 408(k)(6)(A)(iii). (5) Regulations The Secretary shall prescribe such regulations or other guidance as may be necessary to address situations under which the Secretary is not able to make a payment to a designated retirement account of an individual, including a plan of an employer for which the individual no longer works and to an account that does not exist. . (3) Conforming amendments (A) Section 6211(b)(4)(A) of such Code is amended by inserting 36C, after 36B, . (B) The table of sections for subpart A of part IV of subchapter A of chapter 1 of such Code is amended by striking the item relating to section 25B. (C) The table of sections for subpart C of such part is amended by adding at the end the following new item: Sec. 36C. Elective deferrals and IRA contributions by certain individuals. . (D) Section 1324(b)(2) of title 31, United States Code, is amended by inserting 36C, after 36B, . (c) Maximum contributions Subsection (a) of section 36C of such Code, as redesignated by subsection (b), is amended to read as follows: (a) Allowance of credit (1) In general In the case of an eligible individual, there shall be allowed as a credit against the tax imposed by this subtitle for the taxable year an amount equal to the applicable percentage of so much of the qualified retirement savings contributions of the eligible individual for the taxable year as do not exceed the contribution limit. (2) Contribution limit For purposes of paragraph (1)— (A) In general Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the contribution limit is $500 ($1,500 for taxable years beginning after 2023). (B) Annual increases to reach $1,500 In the case of taxable years beginning in a calendar year after 2013 and before 2024, the contribution limit shall be the sum of— (i) the contribution limit for taxable years beginning in the preceding calendar year (as increased under this subparagraph), and (ii) $100. (C) Inflation adjustment In the case of any taxable year beginning in a calendar year after 2023, the $1,500 amount in subparagraph (A) shall be increased by an amount equal to— (i) such dollar amount, multiplied by (ii) the cost-of-living adjustment determined under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in which the taxable year begins, determined by substituting calendar year 2022 for calendar year 1992 in subparagraph (B) thereof. Any increase determined under the preceding sentence shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of $50. . (d) Effective date The amendments made by this section shall apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2013."}}},{"rowIdx":1567,"cells":{"tv_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-838-ih-dtd"},"legis_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-838"},"congress_num":{"kind":"number","value":113,"string":"113"},"legis_type":{"kind":"string","value":"hr"},"legis_num":{"kind":"number","value":838,"string":"838"},"legis_version":{"kind":"string","value":"ih"},"legis_class":{"kind":"string","value":"bills"},"bulk_path":{"kind":"string","value":"data/govinfo/BILLS/113/1/hr/BILLS-113hr838ih.xml"},"file_name":{"kind":"string","value":"BILLS-113hr838ih.xml"},"lastmod":{"kind":"string","value":"2023-01-08 17:37:39.872"},"xml_type":{"kind":"string","value":"dtd"},"root_tag":{"kind":"string","value":"bill"},"tv_xml":{"kind":"string","value":"<?xml-stylesheet type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"billres.xsl\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE bill PUBLIC \"-//US Congress//DTDs/bill.dtd//EN\" \"bill.dtd\">\n<bill bill-stage=\"Introduced-in-House\" bill-type=\"olc\" dms-id=\"H23B0FB4818CF45E5AA03D68543571D25\" public-private=\"public\">\n <metadata xmlns:dc=\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\">\n <dublinCore>\n <dc:title>\n 113 HR 838 IH: Racial Profiling Prevention Act\n </dc:title>\n <dc:publisher>\n U.S. House of Representatives\n </dc:publisher>\n <dc:date>\n 2013-02-26\n </dc:date>\n <dc:format>\n text/xml\n </dc:format>\n <dc:language>\n EN\n </dc:language>\n <dc:rights>\n Pursuant to Title 17 Section 105 of the United States Code, this file is not subject to copyright protection and is in the public domain.\n </dc:rights>\n </dublinCore>\n </metadata>\n <form>\n <distribution-code display=\"yes\">\n I\n </distribution-code>\n <congress>\n 113th CONGRESS\n </congress>\n <session>\n 1st Session\n </session>\n <legis-num>\n H.

Prompt notifications and decision regarding short sale (a) Requirement for prompt notifications, decisions (1) Notifications (A) In general Each servicer shall provide in writing to a mortgagor of a residential mortgage loan— (i) an acknowledgment of receipt of a written request of the mortgagor, not later than 3 days after the date of such receipt; (ii) a notice of any missing or incomplete information required with respect to such request, not later than 5 days after the date of such receipt; and (iii) a definitive response to such request approving or denying such request, not later than 30 days after the date of such receipt. (B) Exceptional circumstances In any case in which a servicer is unable to provide a decision with respect to a written request of a mortgagor of a residential mortgage loan during the 30-day period required by subparagraph (A), such period may be extended to not later than 60 days after the date of receipt of a completed application, except that the servicer shall, verbally or in writing— (i) notify the mortgagor during the initial 30-day period that the application is still under review; and (ii) each week thereafter provide to the mortgagor a status update indicating the reasons why a decision is pending beyond the required 30-day period. (C) Applicability Subparagraph (A) shall apply, except as provided in subsection (b), and notwithstanding any other provision of law or of any contract, including a contract between a servicer of a residential mortgage loan and a securitization vehicle or other investment vehicle. (D) Content A written response by a servicer under subparagraph (A) shall specify a decision on whether such request has been denied, approved, or that such request has been approved subject to specified changes. (2) Mortgagor submission Paragraph (1) shall apply in any case in which the mortgagor under a residential mortgage loan submits to the servicer thereof— (A) a written offer for a short sale of the dwelling or residential real property that is subject to the mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest that secures the mortgage loan; and (B) all information required by the servicer in connection with such a request (including a copy of an executed contract between the owner of the dwelling or property and the prospective buyer that is subject to approval by the servicer). (3) Civil actions authorized An aggrieved individual may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction, asserting a violation of this Act. Aggrieved individuals may be awarded all appropriate relief, including equitable relief, and a monetary award of $1,000 per violation, plus reasonable attorneys’ fees, or such higher amount as may be appropriate in the case of an established pattern or practice of such failures. (b) Inapplicability to certain existing mortgages Subsection (a) shall not apply with respect to any residential mortgage with respect to which the mortgagor and the mortgagee or servicer have entered into a written agreement before the date of enactment of this Act explicitly providing a procedure or terms for approval of a short sale. (c) Treatment of other time limits This section may not be construed to preempt, annul, or otherwise affect any other provision of law or of any contract or program that provides a shorter period than is provided under subsection (a) for a decision by the servicer of a residential mortgage loan regarding a short sale of the dwelling or residential real property that is subject to the mortgage, deed or trust, or other security interest that secures the mortgage loan."}}},{"rowIdx":1569,"cells":{"tv_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-840-ih-dtd"},"legis_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-840"},"congress_num":{"kind":"number","value":113,"string":"113"},"legis_type":{"kind":"string","value":"hr"},"legis_num":{"kind":"number","value":840,"string":"840"},"legis_version":{"kind":"string","value":"ih"},"legis_class":{"kind":"string","value":"bills"},"bulk_path":{"kind":"string","value":"data/govinfo/BILLS/113/1/hr/BILLS-113hr840ih.xml"},"file_name":{"kind":"string","value":"BILLS-113hr840ih.xml"},"lastmod":{"kind":"string","value":"2023-01-08 17:37:39.521"},"xml_type":{"kind":"string","value":"dtd"},"root_tag":{"kind":"string","value":"bill"},"tv_xml":{"kind":"string","value":"<?xml-stylesheet type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"billres.xsl\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE bill PUBLIC \"-//US Congress//DTDs/bill.dtd//EN\" \"bill.dtd\">\n<bill bill-stage=\"Introduced-in-House\" bill-type=\"olc\" dms-id=\"H2AD91D6E9C554BE98D57F2FD5093676B\" public-private=\"public\">\n <metadata xmlns:dc=\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\">\n <dublinCore>\n <dc:title>\n 113 HR 840 IH: To improve services for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence.\n </dc:title>\n <dc:publisher>\n U.S. House of Representatives\n </dc:publisher>\n <dc:date>\n 2013-02-26\n </dc:date>\n <dc:format>\n text/xml\n </dc:format>\n <dc:language>\n EN\n </dc:language>\n <dc:rights>\n Pursuant to Title 17 Section 105 of the United States Code, this file is not subject to copyright protection and is in the public domain.\n </dc:rights>\n </dublinCore>\n </metadata>\n <form>\n <distribution-code display=\"yes\">\n I\n </distribution-code>\n <congress>\n 113th CONGRESS\n </congress>\n <session>\n 1st Session\n </session>\n <legis-num>\n H.

R. 842 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 26, 2013 Mr. Sensenbrenner (for himself and Mr. Moran ) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce A BILL To expand the research activities of the National Institutes of Health with respect to functional gastrointestinal and motility disorders, and for other purposes.\n\n1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Functional Gastrointestinal and Motility Disorders Research Enhancement Act of 2013 . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Functional gastrointestinal and motility disorders (FGIMDs) are chronic conditions associated with increased sensitivity of the GI tract, abnormal motor functioning, and brain-gut dysfunction. (2) FGIMDs are characterized by symptoms in the GI tract including pain or discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, incontinence, problems in the passage of food or feces, or a combination of these symptoms. (3) FGIMDs include conditions such as dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, dyspepsia, cyclic vomiting syndrome, gastroparesis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Hirschsprung’s disease, chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, bowel incontinence, and many others, which affect the esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, small and large intestine, and anorectal areas of the body. (4) The severity of FGIMDs ranges from mildly uncomfortable to debilitating and in some cases life-threatening. (5) Effective treatments for the multiple symptoms of FGIMDs are lacking, and while sufferers frequently use a variety of medications and therapies for symptoms, few patients report satisfaction with available treatments. (6) Patients with FGIMDs frequently suffer for years before receiving an accurate diagnosis, exposing them to unnecessary and costly tests and procedures including surgeries, as well as needless suffering and expense. (7) The economic impact of FGIMDs is high. The annual cost in the United States for IBS alone is estimated to be between $1.7 billion and $10 billion in direct medical costs (excluding prescription and over-the-counter medications) and $20 billion in indirect medical costs. (8) FGIMDs frequently take a toll on the workplace, as reflected in work absenteeism, lost productivity, and lost opportunities for the individual and society. (9) Gastrointestinal symptoms consistent with functional gastrointestinal disorders such as IBS and functional dyspepsia have been recognized as a serious and disabling issue for military veterans, particularly those who have been deployed. (10) FGIMDs affect individuals of all ages including children, and pediatric FGIMDs can be particularly serious, leading to a lifetime of painful symptoms and medical expenses associated with management of chronic illness or death. (11) The National Institutes of Health’s National Commission on Digestive Diseases identified comprehensive research goals related to FGIMDs in its April 2009 report to Congress and the American public entitled Opportunities and Challenges in Digestive Diseases Research: Recommendations of the National Commission on Digestive Diseases . 3. Functional gastrointestinal and motility disorders research enhancement Part B of title IV of the Public Health Service Act ( 42 U.S.C. 284 et seq. ) is amended by adding at the end the following: 409K. Functional gastrointestinal and motility disorders The Director of NIH may expand, intensify, and coordinate the activities of the National Institutes of Health with respect to functional gastrointestinal and motility disorders (in this section referred to as FGIMDs ) by— (1) expanding basic and clinical research into FGIMDs by implementing the research recommendations of the National Commission on Digestive Diseases relating to FGIMDs; (2) providing support for the establishment of up to five centers of excellence on FGIMDs at leading academic medical centers throughout the country to carry out innovative basic, translational, and clinical research focused on FGIMDs; (3) exploring collaborative research opportunities among the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the Office of Research on Women’s Health, the Office of Rare Disease Research, and other Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health; (4) directing the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases to provide the necessary funding for continued expansion and advancement of the FGIMDs research portfolio through intramural and extramural research; (5) directing the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to expand research into FGIMDs that impact children, such as Hirschsprung’s disease and cyclic vomiting syndrome, and maternal health, such as fecal incontinence; and (6) exploring opportunities to partner with the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs to increase research and improve patient care regarding FGIMDs that commonly impact veterans and active duty military personnel, such as IBS and dyspepsia. . 4. Promoting public awareness of functional gastrointestinal and motility disorders Part B of title III of the Public Health Service Act ( 42 U.S.C. 243 et seq. ) is amended by adding at the end the following: 320B. Public awareness of functional gastrointestinal and motility disorders The Secretary may engage in public awareness and education activities to increase understanding and recognition of functional gastrointestinal and motility disorders (in this section referred to as FGIMDs ). Such activities may include the distribution of print, film, and web-based materials targeting health care providers and the public and prepared and disseminated in conjunction with patient organizations that treat FGIMDs.

Sense of Congress on the development and oversight of innovative treatment options for functional gastrointestinal and motility disorders It is the sense of Congress that, considering the current lack of effective treatment options for the global symptoms of functional gastrointestinal and motility disorders (in this section referred to as FGIMDs ) and the inherent challenges of developing and bringing such treatments to market, the Commissioner of Food and Drugs should continue and accelerate important efforts to improve the development and oversight of treatment options for FGIMDs by— (1) enhancing the commitment to emerging efforts like the Patient Reported Outcomes Consortium to expedite medical device and drug development, study appropriate balances between risk and patient benefit, and identify proper endpoints for conditions without clear, biological indicators; (2) enhancing the commitment to broad efforts like the Critical Path Initiative focused on ensuring that scientific breakthroughs are quickly translated into safe and beneficial treatment options; and (3) continuing collaboration with patient organizations that treat FGIMDs so that the patient perspective is considered when determining the need for innovative treatments."}}},{"rowIdx":1575,"cells":{"tv_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-843-ih-dtd"},"legis_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-843"},"congress_num":{"kind":"number","value":113,"string":"113"},"legis_type":{"kind":"string","value":"hr"},"legis_num":{"kind":"number","value":843,"string":"843"},"legis_version":{"kind":"string","value":"ih"},"legis_class":{"kind":"string","value":"bills"},"bulk_path":{"kind":"string","value":"data/govinfo/BILLS/113/1/hr/BILLS-113hr843ih.xml"},"file_name":{"kind":"string","value":"BILLS-113hr843ih.xml"},"lastmod":{"kind":"string","value":"2023-01-08 17:37:39.285"},"xml_type":{"kind":"string","value":"dtd"},"root_tag":{"kind":"string","value":"bill"},"tv_xml":{"kind":"string","value":"<?xml-stylesheet type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"billres.xsl\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE bill PUBLIC \"-//US Congress//DTDs/bill.dtd//EN\" \"bill.dtd\">\n<bill bill-stage=\"Introduced-in-House\" bill-type=\"olc\" dms-id=\"H8A9D31727E714269AF2A9480C26EBDB9\" public-private=\"public\">\n <metadata xmlns:dc=\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\">\n <dublinCore>\n <dc:title>\n 113 HR 843 IH: San Francisco Bay Restoration Act\n </dc:title>\n <dc:publisher>\n U.S. House of Representatives\n </dc:publisher>\n <dc:date>\n 2013-02-26\n </dc:date>\n <dc:format>\n text/xml\n </dc:format>\n <dc:language>\n EN\n </dc:language>\n <dc:rights>\n Pursuant to Title 17 Section 105 of the United States Code, this file is not subject to copyright protection and is in the public domain.\n </dc:rights>\n </dublinCore>\n </metadata>\n <form>\n <distribution-code display=\"yes\">\n I\n </distribution-code>\n <congress>\n 113th CONGRESS\n </congress>\n <session>\n 1st Session\n </session>\n <legis-num>\n H.

R. 849 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 27, 2013 Mr. Smith of Washington (for himself, Mr. Brady of Pennsylvania , and Mr. Gallego ) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Budget , and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means , for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned A BILL To amend the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 to eliminate the section 251A sequestrations and to reduce the security and nonsecurity discretionary spending limits by $320 billion from fiscal year 2014 through fiscal year 2021, and to suspend the statutory limit on the public debt until February 1, 2017.\n\n1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Sequestration Relief Act of 2013 . 2. Findings and purpose (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Congress must enact a comprehensive, deficit reduction plan to solve the country’s fiscal challenges and to promote national security, economic stability, and the continued growth and prosperity of the United States. (2) The keys to a comprehensive, deficit reduction solution are increased revenues and changes in mandatory spending. (3) The Budget Control Act of 2011 was enacted to avert a default on Federal debt obligations, and it reduced discretionary spending by approximately $1 trillion through fiscal year 2021. (4) Because the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction failed to recommend legislation providing an additional $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction, Federal law mandates that the additional savings be sequestered. (5) Sequestration was designed as a forcing mechanism for an agreement on a comprehensive, deficit reduction plan. It has failed to produce the intended results. (6) It no longer makes sense to rely on sequestration as a forcing mechanism for a balanced solution. The costs to our government and to the economy are too great. (7) Under sequestration, automatic, indiscriminate cuts would be applied, through fiscal year 2021, to a wide variety of discretionary spending programs to achieve $1.2 trillion in savings, forestalling the sound planning needed for prudent and meaningful investments in national security, the workforce, transportation infrastructure, education, health care, public safety, housing, innovation, small business development, and many other facets of enduring national strength. (8) Even the prospect of sequestration is disruptive to regular order and to the congressional appropriations process, and it fosters damaging economic uncertainty, while short-term solutions only suspend the prospect and continue to undermine the certainty needed for economic recovery. (9) Therefore, Congress must eliminate the threat of sequestration. (10) Given the magnitude of the Federal deficit, it is likely that additional cuts to discretionary spending will be necessary for a comprehensive deficit reduction solution. (11) Congress must establish a manageable, long-term discretionary spending plan. An additional $320 billion in targetable cuts to discretionary appropriations from fiscal year 2014 through fiscal year 2021 represents one-third of the net amount that would have been indiscriminately cut by sequestration over fiscal years 2013 through 2021. (12) It is recognized that a reduction of $167 billion to discretionary appropriations within budget function 050 from fiscal year 2014 through fiscal year 2021 will affect the National Military Strategy. The Department of Defense is highly encouraged to revisit its current strategic guidance and to work closely with Congress in building a new National Military Strategy that accounts for available resource levels. (b) Purposes The purposes of this Act are to— (1) eliminate the threat of sequestration to the American economy; (2) offer the Federal Government, industry, and the American people the predictability that economic recovery demands; (3) enable the Congress to pass appropriations legislation in regular order with a clear discretionary spending budget and grant the legislative and executive branches of government the flexibility needed to identify and implement specific discretionary spending reductions in a responsible and deliberate manner; and (4) provide a practicable, long-term discretionary spending plan that will contribute to a comprehensive, balanced, long-term, deficit reduction solution that includes affordable revisions to mandatory spending and new revenues. 3. Repeal of section 251A sequestrations Section 251A of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 is repealed. 4. $320 billion reduction in discretionary spending limits The discretionary spending limits set forth in paragraphs (3) through (10) of section 251(c) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 are amended to read as follows: (3) for fiscal year 2014— (A) for the security category, $546,000,000,000 in budget authority; and (B) for the nonsecurity category, $501,000,000,000 in budget authority; (4) with respect to fiscal year 2015— (A) for the security category, $550,000,000,000 in new budget authority; and (B) for the nonsecurity category, $505,000,000,000 in new budget authority; (5) with respect to fiscal year 2016— (A) for the security category, $559,000,000,000 in new budget authority; and (B) for the nonsecurity category, $513,000,000,000 in new budget authority; (6) with respect to fiscal year 2017— (A) for the security category, $569,000,000,000 in new budget authority; and (B) for the nonsecurity category, $522,000,000,000 in new budget authority; (7) with respect to fiscal year 2018— (A) for the security category, $579,000,000,000 in new budget authority; and (B) for the nonsecurity category, $531,000,000,000 in new budget authority; (8) with respect to fiscal year 2019— (A) for the security category, $589,500,000,000 in new budget authority; and (B) for the nonsecurity category, $541,000,000,000 in new budget authority; (9) with respect to fiscal year 2020— (A) for the security category, $602,500,000,000 in new budget authority; and (B) for the nonsecurity category, $553,000,000,000 in new budget authority; (10) with respect to fiscal year 2021— (A) for the security category, $616,000,000,000 in new budget authority; and (B) for the nonsecurity category, $565,000,000,000 in new budget authority; . 5. Definition of security category Section 250(c)(4)(B) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 is amended to read as follows: (B) (i) For fiscal years 2012 and 2013, the term security category means discretionary appropriations associated with agency budgets for the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Nuclear Security Administration, the intelligence community management account (95–0401–0–1–054), and all budget accounts in budget function 150 (international affairs). (ii) For fiscal years 2014 through 2021, the term security category means discretionary appropriations in budget function 050 (national defense). . 6. Suspension of statutory limit on the public debt until February 1, 2017 Section 2 of the No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013 is amended— (1) in subsection (a), by striking May 18, 2013 and inserting January 31, 2017 ; and (2) in subsection (b), by striking May 19, 2013 each place it appears and inserting February 1, 2017 ."}}},{"rowIdx":1582,"cells":{"tv_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-850-eh-dtd"},"legis_id":{"kind":"string","value":"113-hr-850"},"congress_num":{"kind":"number","value":113,"string":"113"},"legis_type":{"kind":"string","value":"hr"},"legis_num":{"kind":"number","value":850,"string":"850"},"legis_version":{"kind":"string","value":"eh"},"legis_class":{"kind":"string","value":"bills"},"bulk_path":{"kind":"string","value":"data/govinfo/BILLS/113/1/hr/BILLS-113hr850eh.xml"},"file_name":{"kind":"string","value":"BILLS-113hr850eh.xml"},"lastmod":{"kind":"string","value":"2023-01-07 09:23:02.006"},"xml_type":{"kind":"string","value":"dtd"},"root_tag":{"kind":"string","value":"bill"},"tv_xml":{"kind":"string","value":"<?xml-stylesheet type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"billres.xsl\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE bill PUBLIC \"-//US Congress//DTDs/bill.dtd//EN\" \"bill.dtd\">\n<bill bill-stage=\"Engrossed-in-House\" bill-type=\"olc\" dms-id=\"HE36B02A1E2594CF9BC6BE255F9ECCD90\" public-private=\"public\" stage-count=\"1\">\n <metadata xmlns:dc=\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\">\n <dublinCore>\n <dc:title>\n 113 HR 850 EH: Nuclear Iran Prevention Act of 2013\n </dc:title>\n <dc:publisher>\n U.S. House of Representatives\n </dc:publisher>\n <dc:date/>\n <dc:format>\n text/xml\n </dc:format>\n <dc:language>\n EN\n </dc:language>\n <dc:rights>\n Pursuant to Title 17 Section 105 of the United States Code, this file is not subject to copyright protection and is in the public domain.\n </dc:rights>\n </dublinCore>\n </metadata>\n <form>\n <distribution-code display=\"no\">\n I\n </distribution-code>\n <congress>\n 113th CONGRESS\n </congress>\n <session>\n 1st Session\n </session>\n <legis-num>\n H.

Findings and statement of policy (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Iran’s acquisition of a nuclear weapons capability would— (A) embolden its already aggressive foreign policy, including its arming of terrorist organizations and other groups, its efforts to destabilize countries in the Middle East, and its efforts to target the United States, United States allies, and United States interests globally; (B) increase the risk that Iran would share its nuclear technology and expertise with extremist groups and rogue nations; (C) destabilize global energy markets, posing a direct and devastating threat to the American and global economy; and (D) likely lead other governments in the region to pursue their own nuclear weapons programs, increasing the prospect of nuclear proliferation throughout the region and effectively ending the viability of the global nonproliferation regime, including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at Washington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968, and entered into force on March 5, 1970. (2) A nuclear arms-capable Iran possessing intercontinental ballistic missiles, a development most experts expect could occur within a decade, would pose a direct nuclear threat to the United States. (b) Statement of policy It shall be the policy of the United States to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability. I Human rights and terrorism sanctions 101.

Sense of Congress on elections in Iran (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The Iranian people are systematically denied free, fair, and credible elections by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

(4) The 2009 presidential elections proved that the regime will engage in large scale vote-rigging to ensure a specific result.

Following the 2009 elections, peaceful demonstrators were met with violence by the regime’s security apparatus, including arbitrary detentions, beatings, kidnappings, rapes, and murders.

(b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of the Congress that— (1) the Iranian people are deprived by their government of free, fair, and credible elections; (2) the United States should support freedom, human rights, civil liberties, and the rule of law in Iran, and elections that are free and fair, meet international standards, and allow independent international and domestic electoral observers unrestricted access to polling and counting stations; and (3) the United States should support the people of Iran in their peaceful calls for a representative and responsive democratic government that respects human rights, civil liberties, and the rule of law. 106.

Findings and statement of policy (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Iran’s acquisition of a nuclear weapons capability would— (A) embolden its already aggressive foreign policy, including its arming of terrorist organizations and other groups, its efforts to destabilize countries in the Middle East, and its efforts to target the United States, United States allies, and United States interests globally; (B) increase the risk that Iran would share its nuclear technology and expertise with extremist groups and rogue nations; (C) destabilize global energy markets, posing a direct and devastating threat to the American and global economy; and (D) likely lead other governments in the region to pursue their own nuclear weapons programs, increasing the prospect of nuclear proliferation throughout the region and effectively ending the viability of the global nonproliferation regime, including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. (2) A nuclear arms-capable Iran possessing intercontinental ballistic missiles, a development most experts expect could occur within a decade, would pose a direct nuclear threat to the United States. (b) Statement of policy It shall be the policy of the United States to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability. I Human rights and terrorism sanctions 101.

Sense of Congress regarding the European Central Bank (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The Government of Iran, its agencies and instrumentalities, continue to have access to, and utilize, euro-denominated transactions, including for goods and services that are subject to sanctions imposed by the United States, the European Union and its member states and by the United Nations. (2) The Guidelines of the European Central Bank (Article 39(1)) states that: Participants shall be deemed to be aware of, and shall comply with, all obligations on them relating to legislation on data protection, prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorism, proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities and the development of nuclear weapons delivery systems, in particular in terms of implementing appropriate measures concerning any payments debited or credited on their PM accounts.

Findings and statement of policy (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Iran’s acquisition of a nuclear weapons capability would— (A) embolden its already aggressive foreign policy, including its arming of terrorist organizations and other groups, its efforts to destabilize countries in the Middle East, and its efforts to target the United States, United States allies, and United States interests globally; (B) increase the risk that Iran would share its nuclear technology and expertise with extremist groups and rogue nations; (C) destabilize global energy markets, posing a direct and devastating threat to the American and global economy; and (D) likely lead other governments in the region to pursue their own nuclear weapons programs, increasing the prospect of nuclear proliferation throughout the region and effectively ending the viability of the global nonproliferation regime, including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at Washington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968, and entered into force on March 5, 1970. (2) A nuclear arms-capable Iran possessing intercontinental ballistic missiles, a development most experts expect could occur within a decade, would pose a direct nuclear threat to the United States. (b) Statement of policy It shall be the policy of the United States to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability. I Human rights and terrorism sanctions 101.

Sense of Congress on elections in Iran (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The Iranian people are systematically denied free, fair, and credible elections by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

(4) The 2009 presidential elections proved that the regime will engage in large scale vote-rigging to ensure a specific result.

Following the 2009 elections, peaceful demonstrators were met with violence by the regime’s security apparatus, including arbitrary detentions, beatings, kidnappings, rapes, and murders.

Findings and statement of policy (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Iran’s acquisition of a nuclear weapons capability would— (A) embolden its already aggressive foreign policy, including its arming of terrorist organizations and other groups, its efforts to destabilize countries in the Middle East, and its efforts to target the United States, United States allies, and United States interests globally; (B) increase the risk that Iran would share its nuclear technology and expertise with extremist groups and rogue nations; (C) destabilize global energy markets, posing a direct and devastating threat to the American and global economy; and (D) likely lead other governments in the region to pursue their own nuclear weapons programs, increasing the prospect of nuclear proliferation throughout the region and effectively ending the viability of the global nonproliferation regime, including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at Washington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968, and entered into force on March 5, 1970. (2) A nuclear arms-capable Iran possessing intercontinental ballistic missiles, a development most experts expect could occur within a decade, would pose a direct nuclear threat to the United States. (b) Statement of policy It shall be the policy of the United States to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability. I Human rights and terrorism sanctions 101.

Findings and purposes (a) Findings Congress finds that— (1) duties collected on imports of citrus and citrus products have ranged from $32,000,000 to $87,000,000 annually since 2004, and are projected to increase, as United States production declines due to the effects of huanglongbing (also known as HLB or citrus greening disease ) and imports increase in response to the shortfall in the United States; (2) in cases involving other similarly situated agricultural commodities, notably wool, the Federal Government has chosen to divert a portion of the tariff revenue collected on imported products to support efforts of the domestic industry to address challenges facing the industry; (3) citrus and citrus products are a highly nutritious and healthy part of a balanced diet; (4) citrus production is an important part of the agricultural economy in Florida, California, Arizona, and Texas; (5) in 2012, citrus fruits were produced on approximately 804,300 acres in the United States, yielding approximately 11,373,000 tons of citrus products with a value at the farm of more than $3,443,289,000; (6) the commercial citrus sector employs approximately 110,000 people and contributes approximately $13,500,000,000 to the United States economy; (7) the United States citrus industry has suffered billions of dollars in damage from disease and pests, both domestic and invasive, over the decade preceding the date of the enactment of this Act, particularly from huanglongbing; (8) huanglongbing threatens the entire United States citrus industry because the disease kills citrus trees; (9) as of the date of the enactment of this Act, there are no cost effective or environmentally sound treatments available to suppress or eradicate huanglongbing; (10) United States citrus producers working with Federal and State governments have devoted tens of millions of dollars toward research and efforts to combat huanglongbing and other diseases and pests, but more funding is needed to develop and commercialize disease and pest solutions; (11) although imports constitute an increasing share of the United States market, importers of citrus products into the United States do not directly fund production research in the United States; (12) disease and pest suppression technologies require determinations of safety and solutions must be commercialized before use by citrus producers; (13) the complex processes involved in discovery and commercialization of safe and effective pest and disease suppression technologies are expensive and lengthy and the need for the technologies is urgent; and (14) research to develop solutions to suppress huanglongbing, or other domestic and invasive pests and diseases will benefit all citrus producers and consumers around the world. (b) Purposes The purposes of this Act are— (1) to authorize the establishment of a trust funded by certain tariff revenues to support scientific research, technical assistance, and development activities to combat citrus diseases and pests, both domestic and invasive, harming the United States; and (2) to require the President to notify the chairperson and ranking member of the Committee on Finance of the Senate and the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives before entering into any trade agreement that would decrease the amount of duties collected on imports of citrus products to less than the amount necessary to provide the grants authorized by section 1001(d) of the Trade Act of 1974, as added by section 3(a) of this Act. (c) Effect on other activities Nothing in this Act restricts the use of any funds for scientific research and technical activities in the United States. 3. Citrus Disease Research and Development Trust Fund (a) In general The Trade Act of 1974 ( 19 U.S.C. 2102 et seq. ) is amended by adding at the end the following: X Citrus Disease Research and Development Trust Fund 1001.

(b) Transfer of amounts (1) In general Subject to paragraph (2), the Secretary of the Treasury shall transfer to the Trust Fund, from the general fund of the Treasury, amounts determined by the Secretary to be equivalent to amounts received in the general fund that are attributable to the duties collected on articles that are citrus or citrus products classifiable under chapters 8, 20, 21, 22, and 33 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. (2) Limitation The amount transferred to the Trust Fund under paragraph (1) in any fiscal year may not exceed the lesser of— (A) an amount equal to 1/3 of the amount attributable to the duties received on articles described in paragraph (1); or (B) $30,000,000. (c) Availability of amounts in Trust Fund (1) Amounts available until expended Amounts in the Trust Fund shall remain available until expended without further appropriation. (2) Availability for citrus disease research and development expenditures Amounts in the Trust Fund shall be available to the Secretary of Agriculture— (A) for expenditures relating to citrus disease research and development under section 4 of the Citrus Disease Research and Development Trust Fund Act of 2013 , including costs relating to contracts or other agreements entered into to carry out citrus disease research and development; and (B) to cover administrative costs incurred by the Secretary in carrying out the provisions of that Act. (d) Investment of Trust Fund (1) In general The Secretary of the Treasury shall invest such portion of the Trust Fund as is not required to meet current withdrawals in interest-bearing obligations of the United States or in obligations guaranteed as to both principal and interest by the United States. Such obligations may be acquired on original issue at the issue price or by purchase of outstanding obligations at the market price. Any obligation acquired by the Trust Fund may be sold by the Secretary of the Treasury at the market price. (2) Interest and proceeds from sale or redemption of obligations The interest on, and the proceeds from the sale or redemption of, any obligations held in the Trust Fund shall be credited to and form a part of the Trust Fund. (e) Reports to Congress Not later than January 15, 2014, and each year thereafter until the year after the termination of the Trust Fund, the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, shall submit to Congress a report on the financial condition and the results of the operations of the Trust Fund that includes— (1) a detailed description of the amounts disbursed from the Trust Fund in the preceding fiscal year and the manner in which those amounts were expended; (2) an assessment of the financial condition and the operations of the Trust Fund for the current fiscal year; and (3) an assessment of the amounts available in the Trust Fund for future expenditures. (f) Remission of surplus funds The Secretary of the Treasury may remit to the general fund of the Treasury such amounts as the Secretary of Agriculture reports to be in excess of the amounts necessary to meet the purposes of the Citrus Disease Research and Development Trust Fund Act of 2013 . (g) Sunset provision The Trust Fund shall terminate on December 31 of the fifth calendar year that begins after the date of the enactment of the Citrus Disease Research and Development Trust Fund Act of 2013 and all amounts in the Trust Fund on December 31 of that fifth calendar year shall be transferred to the general fund of the Treasury. 1002. Reports required before entering into certain trade agreements The President shall notify the chairperson and ranking member of the Committee on Finance of the Senate and the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives not later than 90 days before entering into a trade agreement if the President determines that entering into the trade agreement could result— (1) in a decrease in the amount of duties collected on articles that are citrus or citrus products classifiable under chapters 8, 20, 21, 22, and 33 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States; and (2) in a decrease in the amount of funds being transferred into the Citrus Disease Research and Development Trust Fund under section 1001 so that amounts available in the Trust Fund are insufficient to meet the purposes of the Citrus Disease Research and Development Trust Fund Act of 2013 . . (b) Clerical amendment The table of contents for the Trade Act of 1974 is amended by adding at the end the following: TITLE X—Citrus Disease Research and Development Trust Fund Sec. 1001.

Short title This Act may be cited as the Qods Force Terrorist Designation Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) On January 19, 1984, the Secretary of State determined that the Islamic Republic of Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. (2) The Qods Force is the elite external operations branch of the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iranian regime’s primary mechanism for cultivating and supporting terrorists abroad. (3) The Qods Force provides aid in the form of weapons, training, and funding to Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups, Lebanese Hizballah, Iraq-based militants, and Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. (4) The Qods Force is behind some of the deadliest terrorist attacks of the past three decades, including the 1983 and 1984 bombings of the United States Embassy and annex in Beirut, the 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, the 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, 1994 attack on the AMIA Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, and the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia. (5) In 2007, President George W. Bush and General David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, accused Iran’s Qods Force of aiding militias in killing American soldiers in Iraq. (6) In 2007, the U.S. Department of the Treasury designated the Qods Force for providing material support to the Taliban and other terrorist organizations. (7) On October 25, 2007, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force was sanctioned under Executive Order 13382, for supporting proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. (8) Section 1258 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 expressed the sense of Congress that the United States should designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a foreign terrorist organization under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1189 ) and place the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps on the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists, as established under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ( 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. ) and initiated under Executive Order 13224 (September 23, 2001) . (9) In the period following the June 2009 presidential election in Iran, the Qods Force was implicated in custodial deaths and the killings of election protesters and committed other acts of politically motivated violence, including torture, beatings, and rape. (10) On April 29, 2011, President Obama issued Executive Order 13572, Blocking Property of Certain Persons With Respect to Human Rights Abuses in Syria, including the Qods Force, for the repression of the people of Syria, manifested most recently by the use of violence and torture against, and arbitrary arrests and detentions of, peaceful protestors by police, security forces, and other entities that have engaged in human rights abuses, which constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. (11) On October 11, 2011, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that two members of Iran’s Qods Force were charged in an alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the Unites States. The criminal complaint against them included charges of conspiracy to murder a foreign official; conspiracy to engage in foreign travel and use of interstate and foreign commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire; conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction (explosives); and conspiracy to commit an act of international terrorism transcending national boundaries. (12) On March 7, 2012, the U.S. Department of the Treasury designated Iran’s Qods Force General Gholamreza Baghbani as a Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker for the role that the Qods Force played in its scheme to support terrorism. (13) Iran’s Qods Force stations operatives in foreign embassies, charities, and religious and cultural institutions to foster relationships, often building on existing socio-economic ties with the well-established Shia Diaspora, and recent years have witnessed an increased presence in Latin America. 3. Designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force as a foreign terrorist organization The Secretary of State shall designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force as a foreign terrorist organization under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1189 ). 4.

R. 857 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 27, 2013 Mr. Cook introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Budget , and in addition to the Committee on Appropriations , for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned A BILL To amend section 251A of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 to eliminate the Department of Defense sequestration for fiscal years 2013 and 2014 and sequester such eliminated sums over a period of fiscal years 2015 through 2021.\n\n1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Protect Troops at War Act of 2013 . 2. Findings and purpose (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) On August 2, 2011, the President signed into law S. 365, the Budget Control Act of 2011, which reduced defense discretionary spending by $478 billion over ten years. (2) The Budget Control Act of 2011 also established a sequestration in the event that a Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction could not agree on an additional $1.2 trillion in savings by November 2011. (3) The Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction was unable to reach an agreement, which triggered sequestration, resulting in an additional $495 billion reduction in defense spending over the same ten-year period. (4) If these reductions in defense spending remain intact, the total portion of defense spending as a percentage of the total U.S. budget will be at its lowest point since before World War II. (5) Sequestration alone would reduce our military force to its smallest level since 1940, resulting in the separation of more than 100,000 soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen. (6) Since 2009, the number of troops has more than doubled in Afghanistan from 30,000 to 66,000 today. During the same period, Congress has actively reduced the budget for the Department of Defense. (b) Purpose It is the purpose of this Act to: (1) Avoid deeper, irresponsible defense cuts in the face of an increasingly dangerous world that unnecessarily threaten our national security and will cost American lives in armed conflict abroad. (2) Invest in advanced military technology in order to equip the U.S. military with the best resources available to defend our country. (3) Not allow the strategy of the U.S. military to be driven by budget constraints, which is unacceptable. The strategy should drive the budget. Avoiding cuts while our troops are at war allows necessary time to adjust strategy for the restructured force post-Afghanistan. Before the House Armed Services Committee, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Dempsey testified If you want [your military] to be doing what it’s doing today, then we can’t give you another dollar. . (4) Ensure that the U.S. military forces are adequately prepared. Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Amos, in his statement before the House Armed Services Committee remarked, By the end of calendar year 2013, less than half of our ground units will be trained to the minimum readiness level required for deployment. . Sequestration, if left unchecked, will cost American lives. The hollow force experienced during the Korean War would be today’s reality. (5) Halt irresponsible budget cuts because no amount of savings can justify the loss of one American service member. 3. Postponement of FY 2013 and 2014 defense sequestration Section 251A of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph: (12) Notwithstanding paragraphs (5) and (8), there shall be no reductions under this section to discretionary appropriations or direct spending for fiscal year 2013 or 2014 for the defense function.
