Compact-Impact Aid Act of 2013

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Compact-Impact Aid Act of 2013''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) 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 
        States, territories, and other jurisdictions of the United 
        States.
            (2) Congress declared that if any adverse consequences to 
        States, territories, and other jurisdictions of the United 
        States resulted from implementation of the Compact of Free 
        Association, Congress would act sympathetically and 
        expeditiously to redress those adverse consequences.
            (3) The Government Accountability 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 and some areas of the 
        continental United States.
            (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 
        several States and territories.
            (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.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to address the unfunded 
mandate and adverse financial consequences resulting from the Compact 
by meeting the obligations set forth in the Compact.

                        migration for grants to any local government of 
                        the United States that demonstrates financial 
                        strain due to demands on public services by
