To amend the Compact of Free Association of 1985 to provide for adequate Compact-impact aid.

Summary: Compact-Impact Reimbursement Act - Amends the Compact of Free Association Act of 1985 to authorize and appropriate to the Secretary of the Interior specified funds for FY 2004 through 2023 for grants to Guam, Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa to aid in defraying costs incurred by their governments as a result of increased demands placed on health, educational, social, or public safety services, or infrastructure related to such services, due to the residence of qualified immigrants. Provides food stamp eligibility for such immigrants and qualified nonimmigrants.

Authorizes appropriations for grants to the Governments of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palua, Guam, Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa for establishing or continuing programs for the control and prevention of communicable diseases, including cholera and Hansen's Disease.

Requires the United States to make available to the Governments of such States and Republics necessary sums for the payment of obligations incurred for the use of such facilities.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Compact-Impact 
Reimbursement Act''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) In approving the Compact of Free Association it was not 
        the intent of Congress to cause adverse consequences for Guam, 
        American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
        Islands, or the State of Hawaii.
            (2) Congress declared that if any adverse consequences to 
        Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
        Islands, or the State of Hawaii resulted from implementation of 
        the Compact of Free Association, Congress would act 
        sympathetically and expeditiously to redress those adverse 
        consequences.
            (3) The General Accounting Office has reported that 
        migration from the Freely Associated States has had a 
        significant impact on Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern 
        Mariana Islands, and the State of Hawaii.
            (4) By placing demands on local governments for health, 
        educational, and other social services, migration under the 
        Compact has adversely affected the budgetary resources of Guam, 
        the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the State 
        of Hawaii.
            (5) Insufficient sums have been appropriated to cover the 
        costs incurred by Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern 
        Mariana Islands, and the State of Hawaii, resulting from 
        increased demands placed on health, educational, and other 
        social services by individuals from the Federated States of 
        Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the 
        Republic of Palau.
    (c) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to address the unfunded 
Federal mandate and adverse financial consequences resulting from the 
Compact by meeting the obligations set forth in the Compact.

                        aid in defraying costs incurred by their 
                        governments as a result of increased demands
