SEC. 2. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIRED.

Federal agency any funds for the acquisition or operation of any 
computer that is accessible to minors and that has access to the 
Internet, or that has received universal service assistance under 
section 254(h)(1)(B) of the Communications Act of 1934 for accessing 
the Internet on any computer that is accessible to minors, shall--
            (1) install software on that computer that is determined 
        (in accordance with subsection (b)) to be adequately designed 
        to prevent minors from obtaining access to any obscene 
        information or child pornography using that computer; and
            (2) ensure that such software is operational whenever that 
        computer is used by minors, except that such software's 
        operation may be temporarily interrupted to permit a minor to 
        have access to information that is not obscene, is not child 
        pornography, or is otherwise unprotected by the Constitution 
        under the direct supervision of an adult designated by such 
        school or library.
    (b) Determination of Adequate Design.--For any elementary or 
secondary school or public library within the jurisdiction of any 
State, the determinations required for purposes of subsection (a)(1)

        subsection (a), the head of such agency may--
                    (A) withhold further payments under that program or 
                activity,
                    (B) issue a complaint to compel compliance through 
                a cease and desist order, or
                    (C) enter into a compliance agreement with a 
                recipient to bring it into compliance,
        in the same manner as the Secretary of Education is authorized 
        to take such actions under sections 455, 456, and 457, 
        respectively, of the General Education Provisions Act (20 
        U.S.C. 1234d).
