pilot grant program may use the grant funds for projects to improve 
recycling accessibility in communities, including in underserved 
communities, by--
            (1) increasing the number of transfer stations;
            (2) expanding curbside recycling collection programs where 
        appropriate; and
            (3) leveraging public-private partnerships to reduce the 
        costs associated with collecting and transporting recyclable 
        materials in underserved communities.

        COVID-19 pandemic and other complex factors impacting the 
        overall supply chain, has threatened the economic recovery of 
        the United States and industries that employ millions of United 
        States citizens.
            (3) Addressing current challenges and building resilience 
        against future risks requires ensuring a secure and stable 
        supply chain for semiconductors that will support the economic 
        and national security needs of the United States and its 
        allies.
            (4) The supply chain for semiconductors is complex and 
        global. While the United States plays a leading role in certain 
        segments of the semiconductor industry, securing the supply 
        chain requires onshoring, reshoring, or diversifying vulnerable 
        segments, such as for--
                    (A) fabrication;
                    (B) advanced packaging; and
                    (C) materials and equipment used to manufacture 
                semiconductor products.
            (5) The Federal Government can leverage foreign direct 
        investment and private dollars to grow the domestic 
        manufacturing and production capacity of the United States for 
        vulnerable segments of the semiconductor supply chain.
            (6) The SelectUSA program of the Department of Commerce, in 
        coordination with other Federal agencies and State-level 
        economic development organizations, is positioned to boost 
        foreign direct investment in domestic manufacturing and to help 
        secure the semiconductor supply chain of the United States.

SEC. 1404. COORDINATION WITH STATE-LEVEL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 
              ORGANIZATIONS.

    Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, the Executive Director of SelectUSA shall solicit comments from 
State-level economic development organizations--
            (1) to review--
                    (A) what efforts the Federal Government can take to 
                support increased foreign direct investment in any 
                segment of semiconductor-related production;
                    (B) what barriers to such investment may exist and 
                how to amplify State efforts to attract such 
                investment;
                    (C) public opportunities those organizations have 
                identified to attract foreign direct investment to help 
                increase investment described in subparagraph (A); and
                    (D) resource gaps or other challenges that prevent 
                those organizations from increasing such investment; 
                and
            (2) to develop recommendations for--
                    (A) how SelectUSA can increase such investment 
                independently or through partnership with those 
                organizations; and
                    (B) working with countries that are allies or 
                partners of the United States to ensure that foreign 
                adversaries (as defined in section 8(c)(2) of the 
                Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 
                (47 U.S.C. 1607(c)(2))) do not benefit from United 
                States efforts to increase such investment.

                and
                    (B) working with State-level economic development 
                organizations and implementing any strategies or 
                recommendations SelectUSA received from those 
                organizations.

                list wherever the covered services are displayed,

                purchase covered services the total services price at 
                the time the covered services are first displayed to 
                the individual and anytime thereafter throughout the 
                covered services purchasing process; and
                    (C) disclose, prior to the final purchase, any tax, 
                fee, or assessment imposed by any government entity,

        indemnification provision with respect to price or fee 
        information disclosed, exchanged, or shared between the covered

                        powers, and duties as though all applicable 
                        terms and provisions of the Federal Trade 
                        Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.) were

                of the State has been or is being threatened or 
                adversely affected by a practice that violates 
                subsection (a), the attorney general of the State may, 
                as parens patriae, bring a civil action on behalf of 
                the residents of the State in an appropriate district 
                court of the United States to obtain appropriate 
                relief.

                            (i) Notice to the commission.--

                                in subclause (III), the attorney 
                                general of a State, before initiating a 
                                civil action under subparagraph (A) 
                                shall notify the Commission in writing 
                                that the attorney general intends to 
                                bring such civil action.
                                    (II) Contents.--The notification 
                                required by subclause (I) shall include 
                                a copy of the complaint to be filed to

                                    (III) Exception.--If it is not 
                                feasible for the attorney general of a 
                                State to provide the notification 
                                required by subclause (I) before 
                                initiating a civil action under 
                                subparagraph (A), the attorney general 
                                shall notify the Commission immediately 
                                upon instituting the civil action.

                                        appeal.
                    (C) Investigatory powers.--Nothing in this 
                paragraph may be construed to prevent the attorney 
                general of a State from exercising the powers conferred 
                on the attorney general by the laws of the State to 
                conduct investigations, to administer oaths or 
                affirmations, or to compel the attendance of witnesses 
                or the production of documentary or other evidence.
                    (D) Action by the commission.--Whenever a civil 
                action has been instituted by or on behalf of the 
                Commission for violation of subsection (a), no attorney 
                general of a State may, during the pendency of that 
                action, institute an action under subparagraph (A) 
                against any defendant named in the complaint in that 
                action for a violation of subsection (a) alleged in

                                United States that meets applicable 
                                requirements relating to venue under 
                                section 1391 of title 28, United States 
                                Code; or

                        actions brought by an attorney general under 
                        subparagraph (A), any other officer of a State 
                        who is authorized by the State to do so may 
                        bring a civil action under subparagraph (A), 
                        subject to the same requirements and 
                        limitations that apply under this paragraph to 
                        civil actions brought by attorneys general.
                            (ii) Savings provision.--Nothing in this 
                        paragraph may be construed to prohibit an 
                        authorized official of a State from initiating 
                        or continuing any proceeding in a court of the 
                        State for a violation of any civil or criminal 
                        law of the State.
            (3) Affirmative defense.--In any action pursuant to 
        paragraph (1) or (2), an intermediary or third-party online 
        seller may assert an affirmative defense if such intermediary

                    (A) established procedures to receive up-to-date 
                price information from hotels or short-term rentals, or 
                agents acting on behalf of a hotel or short-term 
                rental;
                    (B) relied in good faith on information provided to 
                the intermediary or third-party online seller by a 
                hotel or short-term rental, or agent acting on behalf 
                of such hotel or short-term rental, and such 
                information was inaccurate at the time it was provided 
                to the intermediary or third-party online seller; and
                    (C) took prompt action to remove or correct any 
                false or inaccurate information about the total 
                services price after receiving notice that such 
                information was false or inaccurate.
    (c) Preemption.--
            (1) In general.--A State, or political subdivision of a 
        State, may not maintain, enforce, prescribe, or continue in 
        effect any law, rule, regulation, requirement, standard, or 
        other provision having the force and effect of law of the 
        State, or political subdivision of the State, that prohibits a 
        covered entity from advertising, displaying, marketing, or 
        otherwise offering, or otherwise affects the manner in which a 
        covered entity may advertise, display, market, or otherwise 
        offer, for sale in interstate commerce, including through a 
        direct offering, third-party distribution, or metasearch 
        referral, a price of a reservation for a covered service, and 
        that requires fee disclosure, unless the law requires the total 
        services price to include each service fee, as defined in 
        subsection (d)(8), and in accordance with subsection (a)(1).
            (2) Rule of construction.--This section may not be 
        construed to--
                    (A) preempt any law of a State or political 
                subdivision of a State relating to contracts or torts; 
                or
                    (B) preempt any law of a State or political 
                subdivision of a State to the extent that such law 
                relates to an act of fraud, unauthorized access to 
                personal information, or notification of unauthorized 
                access to personal information.
    (d) Definitions.--In this Act:
            (1) Base services price.--The term ``base services price'' 
        --
                    (A) means, with respect to the covered services 
                provided by a hotel or short-term rental, the price in

    (a) State Study.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 24 months after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, and every 5 years thereafter, each State

        Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1301(a)(1)) for purposes of titles XIX 
        and XXI of such Act) shall conduct a study on the costs of

        delivery services furnished by applicable hospitals located in 
        the State:
                    (A) An estimate of the cost of providing maternity, 
                labor, and delivery services at applicable hospitals, 
                based on the expenditures a representative sample of 
                such hospitals incurred for providing such services 
                during the 2 most recent years for which data is 
                available.
                    (B) An estimate of the cost of providing maternity, 
                labor, and delivery services at applicable hospitals 
                that ceased providing labor and delivery services 
                within the past 5 years, based on the expenditures a 
                representative sample of such hospitals incurred for 
                providing such services during the 2 most recent years 
                for which data is available.
                    (C) To the extent data allows, an analysis of the 
                extent to which geographic location, community 
                demographics, and local economic factors (as defined by 
                the Secretary) affect the cost of providing maternity, 
                labor, and delivery services at applicable hospitals, 
                including the cost of services that support the 
                provision of maternity, labor, and delivery services.
                    (D) The amounts applicable hospitals are paid for 
                maternity, labor, and delivery services, by geographic 
                location and hospital size, under--
                            (i) Medicare;
                            (ii) the State Medicaid program, including 
                        payment amounts for such services under fee-
                        for-service payment arrangements and under 
                        managed care (as applicable);
                            (iii) the State CHIP plan, including 
                        payment amounts for such services under fee-
                        for-service payment arrangements and under 
                        managed care (as applicable); and
                            (iv) private health insurance.
                    (E) A comparative payment rate analysis--
                            (i) comparing payment rates for maternity, 
                        labor, and delivery services (inclusive of all 
                        payments received by applicable hospitals for 
                        furnishing maternity, labor, and delivery 
                        services) under the State Medicaid fee-for-
                        service program to such payment rates for such 
                        services under Medicare (as described in 
                        section 447.203(b)(3) of title 42, Code of 
                        Federal Regulations), other Federally-funded or 
                        State-funded programs (including, to the extent 
                        data is available, Medicaid managed care 
                        rates), and to the payment rates for such 
                        services, to the extent data is available, of 
                        private health insurers within geographic areas 
                        of the State; and
                            (ii) analyzing different payment methods 
                        for such services, such as the use of bundled 
                        payments, quality incentives, and low-volume 
                        adjustments.
                    (F) An evaluation, using such methodology and 
                parameters established by the Secretary, of whether 
                each hospital located in the State that furnishes 
                maternity, labor, and delivery services is expected to 
                experience in the next 3 years significant changes in 
                particular expenditures or types of reimbursement for 
                maternity, labor, and delivery services.
            (3) Applicable hospital defined.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term ``applicable hospital'' means any hospital 
        located in a State that meets either of the following criteria:
                    (A) The hospital provides labor and delivery 
                services and more than 50 percent of the hospital's 
                births (in the most recent year for which such data is 
                available) are financed by the Medicaid program or 
                CHIP.
                    (B) The hospital--
                            (i) is located in a rural area (as defined 
                        by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy 
                        for the purpose of rural health grant programs 
                        administered by such Office);
                            (ii) based on the most recent 2 years of 
                        data available (as determined by the 
                        Secretary), furnished services for less than an 
                        average of 300 births per year; and
                            (iii) provides labor and delivery services.
            (4) Assistance to small hospitals in compiling cost 
        information.--There are appropriated to the Secretary for 
        fiscal year 2025, $10,000,000 for the purpose of providing 
        grants and technical assistance to a hospital described in 
        paragraph (3)(B) to enable such hospital to compile detailed 
        information for use in the State studies required under 
        paragraph (1), to remain available until expended.
            (5) HHS report on state studies.--For each year in which a 
        State is required to conduct a study under paragraph (1), the 
        Secretary shall issue, not later than 12 months after the date 
        on which the State submits to the Secretary the data described 
        in such paragraph, a publicly available report that compiles 
        and details the results of such study and includes the 
        information described in paragraph (2).
    (b) HHS Report on National Data Collection Findings.--Not later 
than 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary 
shall submit to Congress, and make publicly available, a report 
analyzing the first studies conducted by States under subsection 
(a)(1), including recommendations for improving data collection on the 
cost of providing maternity, labor, and delivery services.
    (c) Implementation Funding.--In addition to the amount appropriated 
under subsection (a)(4), there are appropriated, out of any funds in 
the Treasury not otherwise obligated, $3,000,000 for fiscal year 2025, 
to remain available until expended, to the Secretary of Health and 
Human Services for purposes of implementing this section.

                        adjustments for the State plan rate year (as so 
                        increased) does not exceed the disproportionate 
                        share hospital allotment for the State and 
                        applicable Federal fiscal year under subsection

        fraudulent claims made with respect to tests so identified as 
        being at high risk, including--
                    (A) an analysis of whether the Centers for Medicare 
                & Medicaid Services can detect aberrant billing 
                patterns with respect to such tests in a timely manner;

                        related compensation and payment structures, 
                        such as rebate aggregators (or other entities

                contracting entities related to the use of prescription 
                drug price-related compensation structures, such as the 
                potential for fees or other payments set as a 
                percentage of a prescription drug's price to advantage 
                formulary selection, distribution, or purchasing of

                level of price-based compensation structures over time 
                and between different market segments, such as under 
                part D of title XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 
                U.S.C. 1395w-101 et seq.) and the Medicaid program

                structures and alternative compensation structures on 
                Federal health care programs and program beneficiaries, 
                including with respect to cost-sharing, premiums, 
                Federal outlays, biosimilar and generic drug adoption 
                and utilization, drug shortage risks, and the potential 
                for fees set as a percentage of a drug's price to 
                advantage the formulary selection, distribution, or 
                purchasing of drugs with higher prices.
                    (G) Other issues determined to be relevant and 
                appropriate by the Comptroller General.

                    (B) in subclause (I)--
                            (i) by striking ``subclause (II)'' and 
                        inserting ``subclause (III)''; and
                            (ii) by striking ``subclauses (II) and 
                        (III)'' and inserting ``subclauses (III) and 
                        (IV)''; and
                    (C) by inserting after subclause (I) the following:
            ``(II) Pursuant to subsection (a), subparagraphs (C) and 
        (D) of section 406(a)(1) shall not apply to a responsible plan 
        fiduciary, notwithstanding any failure to remit required 
        amounts under subparagraph (C)(i), if the following conditions 
        are met:
                    ``(aa) The responsible plan fiduciary did not know 
                that the covered service provider failed or would fail

                discovering that the covered service provider failed to 
                remit the required amounts, requests in writing that 
                the covered service provider remit such amounts.

                plan fiduciary notifies the Secretary of the covered 
                service provider's failure, in accordance with

1974 (29 U.S.C. 1108(b)(2)(B)(viii)), as amended by subsection (a), 
shall not be construed to relieve or limit a responsible plan fiduciary 
from the duty to monitor the practices of any covered service provider 
that contracts with the applicable covered plan, including for the 
purposes of ensuring the reasonableness of compensation. For purposes 
of this subsection, the terms ``covered plan'', ``covered service 
provider'', and ``responsible plan fiduciary'' have the meanings given 
such terms in section 408(b)(2)(B)(ii) of the Employee Retirement 
Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1108(b)(2)(B)(ii)).

                    (B) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress 
                that the amendment made by subparagraph (A) clarifies 
                the existing requirement of covered service providers 
                with respect to services described in section 
                408(b)(2)(B)(ii)(I)(bb)(BB) of the Employee Retirement

                        clause'' and inserting ``requirements of this

justification for an approach that is in vitro, in whole or in part, to 
be used to demonstrate bioequivalence for a drug if such a drug 
contains one or more of the same inactive ingredients in the same 
concentrations as the listed drug referred to, the Secretary shall 
inform the person whether such drug is qualitatively and quantitatively 
the same as the listed drug. The Secretary may also provide such 
information to such a person on the Secretary's own initiative during 
the review of an abbreviated application under this subsection for such 
drug.

that such drug is not qualitatively or quantitatively the same as the 
listed drug, the Secretary shall identify and disclose to the person--

        quantitative deviation, the amount of such deviation.

                        Office to issue the patent or a delay in the 
                        issuance of the patent, as described in 
                        paragraph (1) of section 154(b) and subject to 
                        the limitations under paragraph (2) of such 
                        section 154(b); or

purposes of subparagraph (C)(ii)(II), a court may consider whether the 
reference product sponsor has provided a reasonable description of the 
identity and relevance of any information beyond the subsection (k) 
application that the court believes is necessary to enable the court to 
form a belief with respect to whether a claim of infringement under 
this section could reasonably be asserted.
    ``(E) The limitation imposed under subparagraph (A)--
            ``(i) shall apply only if the subsection (k) applicant 
        completes all actions required under paragraphs (2)(A),

        using that product in therapy, diagnosis, or prophylaxis, such 
        as an indication or method of treatment or other condition of 
        use.''.
