] | <p><b>Data Privacy Act of 2023</b></p> <p>This bill addresses the privacy and security of personal information held by financial institutions. The bill expands the application of current protections, it provides individuals with controls for limiting the collection of their information, and it establishes data privacy standards nationwide. </p> <p>Currently, financial institutions must protect personal information and provide notice about privacy practices. The bill expands personal information protections that currently apply to customers (individuals who have a continuing relationship with a financial institution) to consumers (individuals who have a more limited relationship with a financial institution, such as those who apply for but do not receive a loan). The bill also expands notice requirements to apply to the collection of individual data. </p> <p>Under the bill, financial institutions must (1) inform individuals for what purpose their data is collected and how the data will be used, and (2) give individuals the opportunity to opt out of data collection. An individual may also end the sharing of the individual's data with third parties, as well as demand the deletion of the individual's data. </p> <p>The bill also prohibits states from establishing different privacy protections than those at the federal level. Under current law, states are allowed to establish stricter privacy protections.</p> | <html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress]

To provide for the imposition of sanctions on the Government of the
People's Republic of China, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 24, 2023
Mr. Banks (for himself, Mrs. Luna, Mrs. Kiggans of Virginia, and Mr.
Dunn of Florida) introduced the following bill; which was referred to
the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on
the Judiciary, 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 provide for the imposition of sanctions on the Government of the
People's Republic of China, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Stop CCP Fentanyl Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, the
People's Republic of China remains the number one source of
fentanyl precursor chemicals, which are then processed and
manufactured into synthetic opioids by Mexican drug cartels to
bring into the United States.
(2) Of the more than 100,000 drug overdose-related deaths
in the United States in 2021, roughly 64,000 were from illicit
fentanyl which is more than double the number of such deaths
since 2019.
(3) Almost 100 percent of fentanyl derives from precursor
drugs from China.
(4) The amount of fentanyl seized by U.S. Customs and
Border Protection skyrocketed from 2020 to 2022. In the fiscal
year 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized a record
14,700 pounds of fentanyl, compared with 11,200 pounds in 2021
and 4,800 pounds in 2020.
SEC. 3. IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS ON THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE'S
REPUBLIC OF CHINA.
(a) In General.--On and after the date that is 120 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall impose the
sanctions described in section 3 with respect to--
(1) the President of the People's Republic of China;
(2) the Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party;
(3) the State Council of the People's Republic of China;
and
(4) the Politburo Standing Committee of the People's
Republic of China.
(b) Waiver.--The President may waive the application of sanctions
under subsection (a) if the President submits to the appropriate
congressional committees a written determination that--
(1) the People's Republic of China and Chinese Communist
Party have taken all reasonable measures to prevent the flow of
fentanyl produced within the People's Republic of China into
the United States, including through implementing and enforcing
laws controlling and restricting the export of fentanyl
precursors such as--
(A) N-Phenethyl-4-piperidone (NPP) 4-Anilino-N
phenethylpiperidine (ANPP) N-Phenyl-4-piperidinamine
(4-AP) tert-Butyl 4-(phenylamino); and
(B) piperidine-1-carboxylate (boc-4-AP)
norfentanyl; and
(2) the intelligence community (as such term is defined in
the National Security Act of 1947), in consultation with the
Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice,
has determined that the supply of fentanyl of Chinese origin in
the United States and the number of deaths of United States
persons due to overdoses of such fentanyl have each been
reduced by at least 98 percent during the most-recent 18-month
period as compared to the immediately preceding 18-month
period.
(c) Penalties.--A person that violates, attempts to violate,
conspires to violate, or causes a violation of subsection (a) or any
regulation, license, or order issued to carry out subsection (a) shall
be subject to the penalties set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of
section 206 of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. 1705) to the same extent as a person that commits an unlawful
act described in subsection (a) of that section.
SEC. 4. SANCTIONS DESCRIBED.
(a) In General.--The sanctions described in this section are the
following:
(1) Blocking of property.--The President shall exercise all
of the powers granted to the President under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to the
extent necessary to block and prohibit all transactions in
property and interests in property of the person if such
property and interests in property are in the United States,
come within the United States, or are or come within the
possession or control of a United States person.
(2) Aliens ineligible for visas, admission, or parole.--
(A) Visas, admission, or parole.--An alien who the
Secretary of State or the Secretary of Homeland
Security (or a designee of one of such Secretaries)
knows, or has reason to believe, has knowingly engaged
in any activity described in subsection (a) is--
(i) inadmissible to the United States;
(ii) ineligible to receive a visa or other
documentation to enter the United States; and
(iii) otherwise ineligible to be admitted
or paroled into the United States or to receive
any other benefit under the Immigration and

1201(i)), revoke any visa or other entry
documentation issued to an alien described in
subparagraph (A) regardless of when the visa or
other entry documentation is issued.
(ii) Effect of revocation.--A revocation
under clause (i) shall take effect immediately
and shall automatically cancel any other valid
visa or entry documentation that is in the
alien's possession.
(b) Exceptions.--
(1) United nations headquarters agreement.--The sanctions
described under subsection (a)(2) shall not apply with respect
to an alien if admitting or paroling the alien into the United
States is necessary to permit the United States to comply with
the Agreement regarding the Headquarters of the United Nations,
signed at Lake Success June 26, 1947, and entered into force
November 21, 1947, between the United Nations and the United
States, or other applicable international obligations.

technical data.
SEC. 5. RIGHT OF ACTION TO SEIZE PRIVATE ASSETS.

States Code (commonly referred to as the ``Foreign Sovereign Immunities
Act''), a national of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted
for permanent residence in the United States who is an immediate family

<DOC>
118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 1173
To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act regarding the patient
medication information required to be included in the labeling of
prescription drugs, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 24, 2023
Mr. Carter of Georgia (for himself, Mr. Golden of Maine, Mr. Westerman,
and Mr. Ruppersberger) 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 regarding the patient
medication information required to be included in the labeling of
prescription drugs, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Patients' Right to Know Their
Medication Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Prescription medications are important to the health
and well-being of the American public.
(2) According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), 48.9 percent of Americans used at least one
prescription drug in the past 30 days.
(3) The utilization of prescription drugs can subject
patients to adverse drug events; therefore, patient safety is
of the utmost importance.
(4) Studies indicate that paper format patient medication
information (PMI) can help protect patients and prevent the
majority of costly adverse drug events.
(5) In addition to bolstering patient safety, the mandatory
use of a standardized PMI provided to all patients in
nonhospital settings could reduce costs associated with
emergency room visits and hospital admissions related to
adverse drug events by $14.6 to $26.2 billion dollars annually.
(6) Many patients cannot access electronic versions of PMI,
thereby necessitating a paper option.
(7) The Government Accountability Office found that relying
on electronic labeling as a complete substitute for paper
labeling could adversely impact public health.
(8) A congressionally mandated paper PMI is needed because
no standardized PMI in a single page, paper copy, proven
patient-friendly format is currently available to patients or
required by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
301 et seq.).
SEC. 3. PATIENT MEDICATION INFORMATION FOR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.
(a) In General.--Chapter V of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (21 U.S.C. 351 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 505G
(21 U.S.C. 355h) the following:
``SEC. 505H. PATIENT MEDICATION INFORMATION FOR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.
``(a) In General.--The Secretary shall issue regulations on the
patient medication information that is required to be in the printed
labeling of drugs subject to section 503(b)(1), including regulations
regarding the authorship, content, format, color, printing, and
dissemination requirements for such patient medication information. The
Secretary shall issue final regulations pursuant to the preceding
sentence not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this
section.
``(b) Content.--The regulations promulgated under subsection (a)
shall require that the patient medication information with respect to a
drug--
``(1) be scientifically accurate, include relevant patient
safety information, and be approved by the Secretary;
``(2) include understandable plain language, and include
graphics and pictures when applicable, and be provided in a
consistent, standardized format and color for all drug
products, and not be promotional in tone or content, and
contain at least--
``(A) the established name of the drug (or, if the
drug is a biological product, the proper name of the
biological product) and the national drug code for the
drug;
``(B) indications for use approved by the Food and
Drug Administration;
``(C) general directions for proper use;
``(D) contraindications, warnings, precautions, the
most frequently occurring adverse reactions, and
adverse reactions that are important for other reasons
(such as because they are serious), especially with
respect to certain subpopulations such as children,
pregnant women, and the elderly;
``(E) measures patients may be able to take, if
any, to reduce the side effects and risks of the drug;
``(F) information about when a patient should
contact his or her health care professional;
``(G) instructions not to share medications, and,
if applicable, key storage requirements and
recommendations relating to proper disposal of any
unused portion of the drug;
``(H) known clinically important interactions with
other drugs, food, and other substances;
``(I) a statement of whether sufficient data are
available concerning the use of the drug in specified
subpopulations, such as women, pregnant women,
lactating women, women and men of reproductive age, and
pediatric, geriatric, racial, and ethnic minority
groups;
``(J) the name of the manufacturer and a toll-free
telephone number for consumers to contact the
manufacturer of the drug; and
``(K) a current link to Form FDA 3500B for
voluntary reporting for consumers of adverse events,
product problems, and product use errors (or any
successor form); and
``(3) be provided to a patient or agent of a patient in a
printed format with each prescription dispensed, such that a
drug labeled for distribution shall be accompanied by printed
labeling physically on or within the packaging from which the
drug is to be dispensed, in an adequate supply of printed
patient medication information to accommodate prescriptions
dispensed therefrom.
``(c) Timeliness, Consistency, Accuracy, and Effectiveness.--The
regulations promulgated under subsection (a) shall--
``(1) provide for timely reviews, approvals, and updates of
patient medication information as new drugs and new information
become available;
``(2) provide for updates when appropriate to help
communicate information that is shared by similar products or
drugs within classes of medication to avoid patient confusion
and harm;
``(3) include specifications for language, graphics,
format, color, and pictures required by subsection (b)(2), to
be developed based upon documented patient research with one or
more actual drug products that demonstrates improved patient
learning and understanding of safe and effective medication
use; and
``(4) be based on a demonstrated causal connection between
the enhanced patient medication information required by the
regulations and improved patient medication adherence and
compliance for the purpose of reducing the cost of health care
and improving desired medical outcomes.''.
(b) Misbranding Offense.--Section 502 of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 352) is amended by adding at the end the
following:
``(gg) If it is a drug subject to section 503(b)(1) and patient
medication information is not provided in accordance with section
505H.''.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To award a Congressional Gold Medal to Dr. Norman Christopher Francis,
in recognition of his contributions to the United States through his
lifelong dedication to education, justice, and public service.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Dr. Norman C. Francis Congressional
Gold Medal Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Dr. Norman Christopher Francis was born in Lafayette,
LA, on March 20, 1931, to Joseph A. Francis and Mabel F.
Francis. His parents were a barber and a homemaker, and he had
a Catholic education at St. Paul Catholic elementary and
secondary schools in Lafayette.
(2) After graduation, Francis attended Xavier University of
Louisiana in New Orleans, where he graduated with a Bachelor of
Science degree.
(3) An honor student all four years at Xavier University of
Louisiana, young Norman Francis conducted his work scholarship
repairing damaged books in the university library. In his
senior year, he was elected student body president.
(4) From 1952-1955, Francis attended Loyola University Law
School in New Orleans, where he earned his Juris Doctorate. He
made history as the first Black graduate of Loyola University
Law School in 1955.
(5) Upon graduation he married the late Mrs. Blanche
Macdonald, but then was drafted into the United States Army's
Third Armored Division, where he earned the rank of corporal
specialist four. After a two-year tour of duty, Francis left
the Army in 1957 and began his civilian career.
(6) Upon his return from the military, he joined the U.S.
Attorney's Office and worked to help integrate Federal
agencies.
(7) Dr. Francis used his law degree to represent civil
rights activists as a young lawyer. One of his clients was
Xavier student body president, Rudolph Lombard, who had been
arrested for attempting to integrate the lunch counter at
McCrory's on Canal Street in New Orleans.
(8) As Dean of Men at Xavier University of Louisiana in
1961, he showed his moral courage and vision by housing the
Freedom Riders in the historic St. Michael's dormitory when the
rest of New Orleans establishments had closed their doors to
them or openly threatened their safety.
(9) In 1963, he became Director of Student Personnel
Services and one year later (1964) he was promoted to Assistant
to the President. In 1967, he became Executive Vice President.
(10) In 1967, Dr. Francis joined the brotherhood of Alpha
Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, Sigma Lambda chapter.
(11) On the day of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther
King, April 4, 1968, at the age of 37, Dr. Francis accepted the
position as President of Xavier University of Louisiana, the
Nation's only historically Black and Catholic university, and
his alma mater. He broke barriers on that day by becoming the
first African-American lay person to serve in that position.
(12) His tenure as President lasted from 1968-2015, and he
is one of the longest-sitting university presidents in the
Nation's history. Over that 49-year term, Dr. Francis steered
the university to grow both in size and dimension.
(13) Dr. Francis was President of Xavier University of
Louisiana during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, and
while at the helm of the school, he more than tripled its
enrollment, expanded course offerings, and transformed the
campus grounds into an ``Emerald City'' of colorful green
roofs. During his tenure, Xavier awarded more doctorate
pharmacy degrees to Black Americans and sent more Black
graduates to medical school than any other U.S. university.
(14) Dr. Francis cofounded the Liberty Bank of New Orleans,
one of the largest Black-owned banks in the country. Dr.
Francis has served as its Chairman since the Bank's inception
in 1972 working to improve access to financial institutions for
Black Americans.
(15) Francis has served in an advisory role to eight U.S.
presidential administrations--not only on education issues, but
civil rights as well--in addition to serving on 54 boards and
commissions. In 1983, Francis helped compile and release the
report ``A Nation at Risk'' during his service on the National
Commission on Excellence in Education. The report was a
landmark piece that summarized racism and classism with the
school system and called for comprehensive education reform.
(16) He co-chaired the Louisiana Recovery Authority after
Hurricane Katrina, playing a vital role in helping the people
of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast rebuild their lives in the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
(17) In 2006, then-President George W. Bush presented him
with the Nation's highest civil award, the Presidential Medal
of Freedom in recognition of his, ``deep intellect, compassion
and character.''.
(18) In 2009, he was named one of ``America's Best
Leaders'' by U.S. News Media Group and the Center for Public
Leadership (CPL) at Harvard Kennedy's School of Government.
(19) He has received 40 honorary degrees from other
universities, and at least 20 major awards in recognition of
his leadership in higher education as well as his unselfish
service to New Orleans and to the Nation.
(20) Francis' civic endeavors include service as Chair of
the Louisiana Recovery Authority, past Chair of the Louisiana
Disaster Recovery Foundation, past Chair of the Southern
Education Foundation, Chairman of the Board of Liberty Bank and
Trust and a member of the Times-Picayune Advisory Board.
Previously he has been Chairman of the New Orleans Aviation
Board, the Metropolitan Area Committee Education Fund and the
Board of Directors of PBS-affiliate WLAE-TV.
(21) Dr. Francis has been involved at the national level as
past Chairman of the Boards of the Educational Testing Service,
the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the
College Board, the Southern Education Foundation and the
American Association of Higher Education. He was also member
president of the UNCF, a member of the Board of Trustees of
Catholic University, and Chairman of SACS, the southern
regional accrediting agency for more than 11,000 institutions
in eleven States.
(22) A man of enduring determination, vision, faith, and
strength, Dr. Norman C. Francis has forever changed the lives
and landscape of the communities of New Orleans, Louisiana, and
all of America. We are forever grateful for his service and are
proud to present him with the distinguished recognition of a
Congressional Gold Medal.

1st Session
H. R. 1177
To prohibit the Secretary of Labor from constraining the range or type
of investments that may be offered to participants and beneficiaries of
individual retirement accounts who exercise control over the assets in
such accounts.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 24, 2023
Mr. Donalds (for himself, Mr. Davidson, Mr. Cloud, Mr. Schweikert, Mr.
Emmer, and Mrs. Kim of California) introduced the following bill; which
was referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To prohibit the Secretary of Labor from constraining the range or type
of investments that may be offered to participants and beneficiaries of
individual retirement accounts who exercise control over the assets in
such accounts.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Financial Freedom Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FIDUCIARY DUTIES WITH RESPECT TO PENSION PLAN INVESTMENTS.
Section 404(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (29 U.S.C. 1104(a)) is amended by adding at the end the following:
``(3)(A) In the case of a pension plan that provides for
individual accounts and permits a participant or beneficiary to
exercise control over the assets in the participant's or
beneficiary's account, nothing in paragraph (1)--
``(i) requires a fiduciary to select, or prohibits
a fiduciary from selecting, any particular type of
investment alternative, provided that a fiduciary
provides the participant or beneficiary an opportunity
to choose, from a broad range of investment
alternatives, the manner in which some or all of the
assets of the participant's or beneficiary's account
are invested, according to regulations prescribed by
the Secretary; or
``(ii) requires that any particular type of
investment be either favored or disfavored, other than
on the basis of the investment's risk-return
characteristics, in the context of the plan fiduciary's
objective of providing investment alternatives suitable
for providing benefits for participants and
beneficiaries.
``(B) In the event that a fiduciary selects a self-directed
brokerage window as an investment alternative for a plan
described in subparagraph (A)--
``(i) the Secretary shall not issue any regulations
or subregulatory guidance constraining or prohibiting
the range or type of investments that may be offered
through such brokerage window;
``(ii) subsection (c) shall apply to such self-
directed brokerage window; and
``(iii) the diversification requirement of
paragraph (1)(C) and the prudence requirement of
paragraph (1)(B) are not violated by the fiduciary's
selection of a self-directed brokerage window as an
investment alternative or as a result of the exercise
of a participant or beneficiary's control over the
assets in such self-directed brokerage window.''.

SEC. 4. RECORDING EXPEDITED REMOVAL AND CREDIBLE FEAR INTERVIEWS.

uniform manner, to the extent possible, and that both these questions

which the alien may claim asylum, is used when the interviewing officer
does not speak a language understood by the alien.

or audio visual recording of interviews of aliens subject to expedited
removal. The recording shall be included in the record of proceeding
and shall be considered as evidence in any further proceedings

construed to create any right, benefit, trust, or responsibility,
whether substantive or procedural, enforceable in law or equity by a
party against the United States, its departments, agencies,
instrumentalities, entities, officers, employees, or agents, or any
person, nor does this section create any right of review in any
administrative, judicial, or other proceeding.

(a) In General.--Paragraph (5) of section 212(d) of the Immigration
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(d)) is amended to read as follows:

Secretary of Homeland Security, may on an individual
case-by-case basis, and not according to eligibility
criteria describing an entire class of potential parole
recipients, parole an alien into the United States
temporarily, under such conditions as the Secretary of
Homeland Security may prescribe, only--
``(i) an alien not present in the United
States for an urgent humanitarian reason (as
described under subparagraph (B));
``(ii) an alien not present in the United
States for a reason deemed strictly in the
significant public interest (as described under
subparagraph (C)); or

``(I) is present in the United
States without lawful immigration
status;
``(II) is the beneficiary of a
pending or approved petition under
section 203(a);
``(III) is not otherwise
inadmissible or deportable; and
``(IV) is the spouse or minor child
of a member of the Armed Forces serving
on active duty at the request of the
member of the Armed Forces.
``(B) Humanitarian parole.--The Secretary of
Homeland Security may parole an alien based on an
urgent humanitarian reason described in this
subparagraph only if--
``(i) the alien has a medical emergency and
the alien cannot obtain necessary treatment in
the foreign state in which the alien is
residing or the medical emergency is life-
threatening and there is insufficient time for
the alien to be admitted through the normal
visa process;
``(ii) the alien is the parent or legal
guardian of an alien described in clause (i),
if the alien described in clause (i) is a
minor;
``(iii) the alien is needed in the United
States in order to donate an organ or other
tissue for transplant into a close family
member and there is insufficient time for the
alien to be admitted through the normal visa
process;
``(iv) the alien has a close family member
in the United States whose death is imminent
and the alien could not arrive in the United
States in time to see such family member alive
if the alien were to be admitted through the
normal visa process;
``(v) the alien is an adopted child with an
urgent medical condition, who is in the legal
custody of the petitioner for a final adoption-
related visa, and whose medical treatment is
required prior to the expected award of a final
adoption-related visa;
``(vi) the alien is a lawful applicant for
adjustment of status under section 245; or
``(vii) the alien was--
``(I) lawfully granted status under
section 208;
``(II) lawfully admitted under
section 207; or
``(III) granted withholding of
removal under section 241(b)(3).
``(C) Significant public interest parole.--The
Secretary of Homeland Security may parole an alien
based on a reason deemed strictly in the significant
public interest described in this subparagraph only if
the alien has assisted (or will assist, whether
knowingly or not) the United States Government in a
matter, such as a criminal investigation, espionage, or
other similar law enforcement activity, including a
civil litigation matter requiring the alien's presence,
and either the alien's presence in the United States is
required by the Government or the alien's life would be
threatened if the alien were not permitted to come to
the United States. Only a matter described in this
subparagraph shall qualify for purposes of this
subparagraph, and no other matter may qualify.
``(D) Limitation on the use of parole authority.--
The Secretary of Homeland Security may not use the
parole authority under this paragraph--
``(i) to circumvent immigration policy
established by law to admit classes of aliens
who do not qualify for admission; or
``(ii) to supplement established
immigration categories without congressional
approval.
``(E) Parole not an admission.--Parole of an alien
under this paragraph shall not be considered an
admission of the alien into the United States. When the
purposes of the parole of an alien have been served, as
determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security, the
alien shall immediately return or be returned to the
custody from which the alien was paroled and the alien
shall be considered for admission to the United States
on the same basis as other similarly situated
applicants for admission.
``(F) Report to congress.--Not later than 90 days
after the end of each fiscal year, the Secretary of
Homeland Security shall submit a report to the
Committees on the Judiciary of the House of
Representatives and the Senate describing the number
and categories of aliens paroled into the United States
under this paragraph. Each such report shall contain
information and data concerning the number and
categories of aliens paroled, the duration of parole,
and the current status of aliens paroled during the
preceding fiscal year.''.
(b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall
take effect on the first day of the first month beginning more than 60
days after the date of the enactment of this Act.

social group, or political opinion, shall have his or
her status terminated.
``(B) Waiver.--The Secretary has discretion to

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; PURPOSE; DEFINITIONS.
(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Make Education
Local Act of 2023''.
(b) Purpose.--The purposes of this Act are as follows:
(1) To give States and local communities added flexibility
and control to determine how to improve academic achievement

achievement of all students, especially disadvantaged children.
(c) Definitions.--
(1) In general.--Except as otherwise provided, the terms
used in this Act have the meanings given the terms in section

U.S.C. 7801 et seq.).

means that public schools are answerable to parents and
other taxpayers for the use of public funds and shall
report student academic progress to parents and
taxpayers regularly.

this Act.
SEC. 2. STATE MANAGEMENT DECISION.
(a) In General.--Each State is authorized to submit to the
Secretary a State management decision permitting the State to receive
Federal funds on a consolidated basis to manage the expenditure of such
funds to advance the educational policy of the State.
(b) Programs Eligible for Consolidation and Permissible Use of
Funds.--
(1) Scope.--A State may choose to include within the scope
of the State management decision of the State any program for
which Congress makes funds available to the State if the
program is for a purpose described in the Elementary and
Education Secondary Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6301). A State may
not include any program funded pursuant to the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1400 et seq.).
(2) Uses of funds.--Funds made available to a State
pursuant to a State management decision under this Act shall be
used for any educational purpose permitted by State law of the
State submitting a State management decision.
(3) Removal of fiscal and accounting barriers.--Each State
educational agency that operates under a State management
decision under this Act may modify or eliminate State fiscal
and accounting barriers that prevent local educational agencies
and schools from easily consolidating funds from other eligible
Federal, State, and local sources in order to improve
educational opportunities and reduce unnecessary fiscal and
accounting requirements.
(c) Contents of Decision.--Each State management decision shall
contain--
(1) a list of eligible programs that are subject to the
State management decision;
(2) an assurance that the submission of the State
management decision has been authorized by the State
Authorizing Officials, specifying the identity of the State
Designated Officer;
(3) the duration of the State management decision;
(4) an assurance that the State will use fiscal control and
fund accounting procedures;
(5) an assurance that the State will meet the requirements
of applicable Federal civil rights laws in carrying out the
State management decision and in consolidating and using the
funds under the State management decision;
(6) an assurance that in implementing the State management
decision the State will seek to advance educational
opportunities for the disadvantaged;
(7) a description of the plan for maintaining direct
accountability to parents and other citizens of the State;
(8) an assurance that in implementing the State management
decision, the State will seek to use Federal funds to
supplement, rather than supplant, State education funding; and
(9) a description of how the State will address
persistently failing public schools.
(d) Minimum Duration.--The duration of the State management
decision shall--
(1) be greater than or equal to 5 years; and

(e) Review, Implementation, and Recognition by the Secretary.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary shall review the State
management decision received from the State Designated Officer
not more than 60 days after the date of receipt of such
decision, and shall approve, with respect to permitting the
State to receive the funds described in subsection (a), such
State management decision unless the State management decision
fails to meet the requirements under subsection (c).
(2) Recognition by operation of law.--If the Secretary
fails to take action within the time specified in paragraph
(1), the State management decision, as submitted, shall be
deemed to be approved.
(f) Amendment to State Management Decision.--

the State Designated Officer to submit amendments to a State
management decision that is in effect. Such amendments shall be
submitted to the Secretary and considered by the Secretary in
accordance with subsection (e).
(2) Amendments authorized.--A State management decision
that is in effect may be amended to--
(A) expand the scope of such State management
decision to encompass additional eligible programs;

decision by excluding coverage of a Federal program
included in the original State management decision;
(C) modify the duration of such State management
decision; or
(D) achieve such other modifications as the State
Authorizing Officials deem appropriate.
(3) Effective date.--The amendment shall specify an
effective date. Such effective date shall provide adequate time
to assure full compliance with Federal program requirements
relating to an eligible program that has been removed from the
coverage of the State management decision by the proposed
amendment.
(4) Treatment of program funds withdrawn from state
management decision.--Beginning on the effective date of an
amendment executed under paragraph (2)(B), each program
requirement of each program removed from the State management
decision shall apply to the State's use of funds made available
under the program.
SEC. 3. TRANSPARENCY FOR RESULTS OF PUBLIC EDUCATION.
(a) In General.--Each State operating under a State management
decision under this Act shall inform parents and the general public
regarding the student achievement assessment system, demonstrating
student progress relative to the State's determination of student
proficiency, as described in paragraph (2), for the purpose of public
accountability to parents and taxpayers.
(b) Accountability System.--
(1) In general.--The State shall determine and establish an
accountability system to ensure accountability under this Act.

established by a State pursuant to paragraph (1) shall--

of evaluating the academic achievement and progress of
students.
(c) Report on Student Progress.--Not later than 1 year after the
effective date of the State management decision, and annually

that a State with a State management decision may expend for
administrative expenses shall be limited to 1 percent of the aggregate
amount of Federal funds made available to the State through the
eligible programs included within the scope of such State management
decision.
(b) States Not Consolidating Funds Under Part A of Title I.--If the
State management decision does not include within its scope part A of
title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20
U.S.C. 6311 et seq.), the amount spent by the State on administrative
expenses shall be limited to 3 percent of the aggregate amount of
Federal funds made available to the State pursuant to such State
management decision.
SEC. 5. EQUITABLE PARTICIPATION OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
Each State consolidating and using funds pursuant to a State
management decision under this Act shall provide for the participation
of private school children and teachers in the activities assisted
under the State management decision in the same manner as participation

certificate under this chapter.
``(e) Restriction of Certain Entities.--Notwithstanding any other
provision of this chapter, the Administrator may not issue a

Section 44103 of title 49, United States Code, is amended by adding
at the end the following:
``(e) Verification of Eligibility.--Beginning on the date of
enactment of the Civil Aviation Security and Safety Act of 2023, the

under this chapter.
``(f) Authority To Make Modifications.--The Administrator shall
make modifications in the application process under this chapter
necessary to make the process more effective in serving the needs of--

identifiable.
``(F) The ability to make frequent legal changes in

the Administrator shall issue such regulations as are necessary to
increase the fees for registration of an aircraft under section 44103
of title 49, United States Code, to a level sufficient to cover the
costs of efforts of the Administration to collect and verify applicant
data and to cover the costs of inflation (to reflect the change in the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers).
SEC. 6. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MODERNIZATION.
In carrying out this Act, the Administrator shall ensure that, as
the Administration undertakes information technology modernization
efforts, the information collected in ancillary files or in PDF format
on owners and related individuals and entities with potentially
significant responsibilities for aircraft ownership (including
beneficial owners (as such term is defined in section 5901 of title 49,
United States Code), trustors, trustees, beneficiaries, stockholders,
directors, and managers) and declaration of international operations
are recorded in an electronic format that facilitates data analytics by
the Administration and relevant Federal national security, law
enforcement, and public safety agencies. The Administrator shall ensure
that such information is linked through a common identifier. The
Administrator shall ensure that modernization efforts include the
development and implementation of a process by which the Administration
may easily review relevant Office of Foreign Asset Control sanctions
data on registration and dealer certificate applicants under section
44103 of title 49, United States Code, and flag sanctioned applicants
for such Office.
SEC. 7. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS.
The Administrator shall provide to the Drug Enforcement
Administration and Homeland Security Investigations declarations of
international operations of the Federal Aviation Administration to
maximize the ability of Federal national security and law enforcement
agencies to assist the Administration in preventing use of the Civil
Aviation Registry for illicit purposes and detect trade-based money
laundering and other cross-border schemes.
SEC. 8. SUSPENSION AND REVOCATION OF CERTIFICATES.
Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act,

implement an enforcement mechanism for suspending and revoking dealer
certificates under chapter 441 of title 49, United States Code.

enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall establish an Aircraft
Registry Task Force (in this section referred to as the ``Task Force'')
to examine national security, law enforcement, and public safety issues
related to civil aircraft registration and developing solutions to
mitigate security and safety risks and increase inter-agency
cooperation.
(b) Membership.--The Task Force shall include--
(1) the Administrator of the Administration; and
(2) representatives of--
(A) the Drug Enforcement Administration;
(B) Homeland Security Investigations;
(C) the Office of Foreign Asset Control; and

enforcement, or public safety entity determined
necessary by the Administrator to facilitate the task
force's mission.

terminate.

H. R. 1188
To establish a task force to protect members of the Armed Forces,
veterans, and military families, from financial fraud.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 24, 2023
Mr. Lynch introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Armed Services, and in addition to the Committee on
Veterans' Affairs, 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 establish a task force to protect members of the Armed Forces,
veterans, and military families, from financial fraud.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Military Consumer Protection Task
Force Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Members of the Armed Forces, veterans, and military
families continue to be disproportionately targeted and
impacted by imposter scams, investment-related schemes, fake
check scams, veterans' charity scams, pension poaching, and
other methods of financial fraud.
(2) Financial fraud attacks targeting members of the Armed
Forces, veterans, and military dependents increased by 69
percent from 2020 to 2021.
(3) In 2020, more than 56,000 military consumers submitted
fraud reports to the Federal Trade Commission indicating a
collective fraud loss of approximately $102 million; in 2021,
over 110,000 military consumers submitted fraud reports to the
Federal Trade Commission indicating a collective fraud loss of
approximately $267 million, a 162-percent increase in fraud
loss over 2020.
(4) Veterans alone reported a collective fraud loss of $177
million in 2021, with members of the Armed Forces reporting a
nearly $60 million total fraud loss in 2021.
(5) The exponential increase in financial fraud targeting
members of the Armed Forces, veterans, and military families
demands a robust and coordinated interagency approach that
examines current and emerging fraudulent schemes to safeguard
the financial security of our military consumers.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Undersea Cable Control Act''.
SEC. 2. STRATEGY TO ELIMINATE THE AVAILABILITY TO FOREIGN ADVERSARIES
OF GOODS AND TECHNOLOGIES CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING UNDERSEA
CABLES.
(a) In General.--The President, acting through the Secretary of
State and in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce, shall develop
a strategy to eliminate the availability to foreign adversaries of
goods and technologies capable of supporting undersea cables consistent
with United States policy described in section 1752 of the Export
Control Reform Act of 2018 (50 U.S.C. 4811).
(b) Matters To Be Included.--The strategy required under subsection
(a) shall include the following:
(1) An identification of goods and technologies capable of
supporting the construction, maintenance, or operation of an
undersea cable project.
(2) An identification of United States and multilateral
export controls and licensing policies for goods and
technologies identified pursuant to paragraph (1) with respect
to foreign adversaries.
(3) An identification of United States allies and partners
that have a share of the global market with respect to the
goods and technologies so identified, including a detailed
description of the availability of such goods and technologies
without restriction in sufficient quantities and comparable in
quality to those produced in the United States.
(4) A description of ongoing negotiations with other
countries to achieve unified export controls and licensing
policies for goods and technologies so identified to eliminate
availability to foreign adversaries.
(5) An identification of all entities under the control,
ownership, or influence of a foreign adversary that support the
construction, operation, or maintenance of undersea cables.
(6) A description of efforts taken to promote United States
leadership at international standards-setting bodies for
equipment, systems, software, and virtually defined networks
relevant to undersea cables, taking into account the different
processes followed by such bodies.
(7) A description of the presence and activities of foreign
adversaries at international standards-setting bodies relevant
to undersea cables, including information on the differences in
the scope and scale of the engagement of foreign adversaries at
such bodies compared to engagement at such bodies by the United
States and its allies and partners, and the security risks
raised by the proposals of foreign adversaries at such bodies.
(c) Report.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 90 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act and annually thereafter for 3 years,
the President shall submit to the appropriate congressional

(d) Agreement.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 1 year after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the President shall seek to--

(e) Actions.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary of Commerce shall evaluate
the export, reexport, and in-country transfer of the
technologies identified pursuant to subsection (b)(1) for
appropriate controls under the Export Administration
Regulations, including by evaluating, for each technology so
identified, whether to add the technology to the Commerce
Control List maintained under title 15, Code of Federal
Regulations.
(2) Levels of control.--
(A) In general.--In determining the level of
control appropriate for technologies identified
pursuant to subsection (b)(1), including requirements
for a license or other authorization for the export,
reexport, or in-country transfer of any such
technology, the Secretary of Commerce (in coordination
with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State,
and the heads of other Federal agencies, as
appropriate) shall take into account the potential end
uses and end users of the technology.
(B) Statement of policy.--At a minimum, it is the
policy of the United States to work with its allies and
partners to control the export, reexport, or in-country
transfer of technologies identified pursuant to
subsection (b)(1) to or in a country subject to an
embargo, including an arms embargo, imposed by the
United States.
(3) Notification.--Not later than 1 year after the date of
enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter for 3 years, the

(C) reviews by the End-User Review Committee
specified in Supplement No. 9 to part 748 of title 15,

This Act may be cited as the ``Domestic Preferences for Building
America Act''.
SEC. 2. PRIORITY FOR UNITED STATES CONTRACTORS.
(a) Requirements With Respect to Certain Contract Awardees.--
(1) In general.--Amounts made available through a program
for Federal financial assistance may be obligated for an
infrastructure project with a value of $100,000,000 or more
only if the recipient of such amounts certifies that, in
obligating the amounts--
(A) subject to the occurrence of adequate
competition, the recipient shall award contracts only

(i) United States persons; and
(ii) qualified United States joint
ventures; and
(B) the recipient shall not award contracts to an

(2) Exception.--For purposes of paragraph (1)(B), the term
``otherwise related legally or financially'' does not include a
minority relationship or investment.
(b) Limitation on Subcontracting.--With respect to a project
described in subsection (a)(1) that is funded in whole or in part by
Federal financial assistance, a prime contractor and any subcontractor
of such prime contractor, at any tier, may enter into a subcontract
related to such project only with a United States person or qualified
United States joint venture.
(c) Rulemaking.--Not later than 1 year after the date of the
enactment of this section, the Director of the Office of Management and

(1) procedures for determining whether bids or proposals
for contracts are submitted by a United States person or a
qualified United States joint venture; and
(2) requirements for record retention and reporting.
(d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be

(e) Consistency With International Agreements.--This section shall
be applied in a manner consistent with United States obligations under

(19 U.S.C. 1677(18)));
(B) was identified by the United States Trade

of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (41 U.S.C. 8301
note).
(4) Qualified united states joint venture.--The term
``qualified United States joint venture'' means a joint venture
in which not less than 51 percent of the assets of the joint
venture are owned by United States persons.
(5) United states person.--The term ``United States
person'' means a person that--
(A) is incorporated or legally organized under the

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to ensure equitable
payment for, and preserve Medicare beneficiary access to, diagnostic
radiopharmaceuticals under the Medicare hospital outpatient prospective
payment system.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Facilitating Innovative Nuclear
Diagnostics Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. SEPARATE PAYMENT FOR CERTAIN DIAGNOSTIC RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS.
(a) In General.--Section 1833(t)(16) of the Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 1395(t)(16)) is amended by adding at the end the following new
subparagraph:
``(H) Separate payment for certain diagnostic
radiopharmaceuticals.--
``(i) In general.--Notwithstanding any
other provision of this subsection, with
respect to services furnished on or after
January 1, 2024, the Secretary shall not
package, and shall make a separate payment as
specified in clause (ii) for a diagnostic
radiopharmaceutical (as defined in clause (v))
with an estimated mean per day product cost
equal to or exceeding the threshold specified
in clause (iii).
``(ii) Separate payment.--For purposes of
clause (i), the separate payment specified in
this subclause for a diagnostic
radiopharmaceutical described in clause (i)
shall be equal to--
``(I) the average sales price for
the drug established under section
1847A, to the extent the average sales
price is available, as calculated and
adjusted by the Secretary to the extent
such adjustment is adopted for other
specified covered outpatient drugs
under paragraph (14)(A); or
``(II) if the data necessary to
calculate the average sales price for
the drug in the year under the section
and paragraph specified in subclause
(I) is not available, the wholesale
acquisition cost (as defined in
subsection 1847A(c)(6)(B)), as
calculated and adjusted by the
Secretary to the extent such adjustment
is adopted for other specified covered
outpatient drugs under paragraph
(14)(A), or, if the wholesale
acquisition cost is not available, the
mean unit cost data derived from
hospital claims data.
Nothing in this subparagraph shall be construed
as affecting eligibility of diagnostic
radiopharmaceuticals for pass-through payments
under paragraph (6).
``(iii) Threshold.--For purposes of this
subparagraph, the threshold specified in this
clause--
``(I) for 2024, is $500; and
``(II) for a subsequent year, is
the amount specified in this clause for
the preceding year increased by the OPD
fee schedule increase factor under
paragraph (3)(C)(iv) for the year.
``(iv) Budget neutrality.--The Secretary
shall make such adjustments as are necessary
under paragraph (9)(B) to ensure that the
amount of expenditures under this subsection
for a year with application of this
subparagraph is equal to the amount of
expenditures that would be made under this
subsection for such year without application of
this subparagraph.
``(v) Definition of diagnostic
radiopharmaceutical.--For purposes of this
subparagraph, the term `diagnostic
radiopharmaceutical' means a drug or biological
that is described in section 315.2(a) of title
21, Code of Federal Regulations, or any
successor regulation, and is approved by the
Food and Drug Administration on or after
January 1, 2008.''.
(b) No Impact on Copayment.--Section 1833(t)(8)(E) of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395l(t)(8)(E)) is amended--
(1) in the heading, by inserting ``and separate payments
for certain diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals'' after ``pass-
through adjustments''; and
(2) by inserting ``and paragraph (16)(H)'' after ``such
adjustments)''.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To protect a person's ability to determine whether to continue or end a
pregnancy, and to protect a health care provider's ability to provide
abortion services.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Women's Health Protection Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Abortion services are essential health care, and access
to those services is central to people's ability to participate
equally in the economic and social life of the United States.
Abortion access allows people who are pregnant to make their
own decisions about their pregnancies, their families, and
their lives.
(2) Reproductive justice requires every individual to have
the right to make their own decisions about having children
regardless of their circumstances and without interference and
discrimination. Reproductive justice is a human right that can
and will be achieved when all people, regardless of actual or
perceived race, color, national origin, immigration status, sex
(including gender identity, sex stereotyping, or sexual
orientation), age, or disability status have the economic,
social, and political power and resources to define and make
decisions about their bodies, health, sexuality, families, and
communities in all areas of their lives, with dignity and self-
determination.
(3) Abortion care, like all health care, is a human right
that should not depend on one's ZIP Code or region, age, actual
or perceived race, national origin, immigration status, sex, or
disability status. Unfortunately, this is the current reality
for millions, creating a patchwork of abortion access across
the United States. Protecting the right to determine whether to
continue or end a pregnancy, and the right of health care
providers to provide abortion care, is necessary and essential
to achieving this human right, and ultimately reproductive
justice.
(4) On June 24, 2022, in its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson
Women's Health Organization, the Supreme Court overruled Roe v.
Wade, reversing decades of precedent recognizing a
constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy before fetal
viability.
(5) The effects of the Dobbs decision were immediate and
disastrous. In the aftermath of the Dobbs decision, many States
imposed near-total bans on abortion. As of March 2023, abortion
is unavailable in 14 States, leaving 17.8 million women of
reproductive age (15-49) and transgender and gender
nonconforming individuals with the capacity to become pregnant
without abortion access in their home State. Within 100 days of
the ruling, 66 clinics across 15 States were forced to stop
offering abortions.
(6) Travel time to an abortion clinic, already a burden for
abortion seekers under Roe, has more than tripled since Dobbs.
As distance to an abortion facility increases, so do the
accompanying (and potentially prohibitive) burdens of time off
work or school, lost wages, transportation costs, lodging,
child care costs, and other ancillary costs.
(7) Even before the Dobbs decision, access to abortion
services had long been obstructed across the United States in
various ways, including: prohibitions of, and restrictions on,
insurance coverage; mandatory parental involvement laws;
restrictions that shame and stigmatize people seeking abortion
services; and medically unnecessary regulations that fail to
further the safety of abortion services, but instead cause harm
people by delaying, complicating access to, and reducing the
availability of, abortion services.
(8) Being denied an abortion can have serious consequences
for people's physical, mental, and economic health and well-
being, and that of their families. According to the Turnaway
Study, a longitudinal study published by Advancing New
Standards In Reproductive Health (ANSIRH) in 2019, individuals
who are denied a wanted abortion are more likely to experience
economic insecurity than individuals who receive a wanted
abortion. After following participants for five years, the
study found that people who were denied abortion care were more
likely to live in poverty, experience debt, and have lower
credit scores for several years after the denial. These
findings demonstrate that when people have control over when to
have children and how many children to have, their children
benefit through increased economic security and better maternal
bonding.
(9) Abortion bans and restrictions have repercussions for a
broad range of health care beyond pregnancy termination,
including exacerbating the existing maternal health crisis
facing the United States. The United States has the highest
maternal mortality rate of any industrialized nations, and
Black women and birthing people face three times the risk of
dying from pregnancy related causes as their white
counterparts. Even prior to Dobbs, research found that States
that enacted abortion restrictions based on gestation increased
their maternal mortality rate by 38 percent. Research has found
that a nationwide ban would increase the United States maternal
mortality rate by an additional 24 percent. Furthermore, States
that have banned, are planning to ban, or have severely
restricted abortion care have fewer maternal health providers,
more maternity care deserts, higher rates of both maternal and
infant mortality, and greater racial inequity in health care.
(10) Abortion bans and restrictions additionally harm
people's health by reducing access to other essential health
care services offered by many of the providers targeted by the
restrictions, including--
(A) screenings and preventive services, including
contraceptive services;
(B) testing and treatment for sexually transmitted
infections;
(C) LGBTQ health services; and
(D) referrals for primary care, intimate partner
violence prevention, prenatal care, and adoption
services.
(11) This ripple effect has only worsened since the Dobbs
decision. Clinicians and pharmacists have denied access to
essential medication for conditions including gastric ulcers
and autoimmune diseases because those drugs are also used for
medication abortion care. Patients are reporting being denied
or delayed in their receipt of necessary and potentially
lifesaving treatment for ectopic pregnancies and miscarriage
management because of the newfound legal risks facing
providers.
(12) Reproductive justice seeks to address restrictions on
reproductive health, including abortion, that perpetuate
systems of oppression, lack of bodily autonomy, white
supremacy, and anti-Black racism. This violent legacy has
manifested in policies including enslavement, rape, and
experimentation on Black women; forced sterilizations, medical
experimentation on low-income women's reproductive systems; and
the forcible removal of Indigenous children. Access to
equitable reproductive health care, including abortion
services, has always been deficient in the United States for
Black, Indigenous, Latina/x, Asian American and Pacific
Islander, and People of Color (BIPOC) and their families.
(13) The legacy of restrictions on reproductive health,
rights, and justice is not a dated vestige of a dark history.
Data show the harms of abortion-specific restrictions fall
especially heavily on people with low incomes, people of color,
immigrants, young people, people with disabilities, and those
living in rural and other medically underserved areas. Abortion
bans and restrictions are compounded further by the ongoing
criminalization of people who are pregnant, including those who
are incarcerated, living with HIV, or with substance-use
disorders. These populations already experience health
disparities due to social, political, and environmental
inequities, and restrictions on abortion services exacerbate
these harms. Removing bans and restrictions on abortion
services would constitute one important step on the path toward
realizing reproductive justice by ensuring that the full range
of reproductive health care is accessible to all who need it.
(14) Abortion bans and restrictions are tools of gender
oppression, as they target health care services that are used
primarily by women. These paternalistic bans and restrictions
rely on and reinforce harmful stereotypes about gender roles
and women's decisionmaking, undermining their ability to
control their own lives and well-being. These restrictions harm
the basic autonomy, dignity, and equality of women.
(15) The terms ``woman'' and ``women'' are used in this
bill to reflect the identity of the majority of people targeted
and most directly affected by bans and restrictions on abortion
services, which are rooted in misogyny. However, access to
abortion services is critical to the health of every person
capable of becoming pregnant. This Act is intended to protect
all people with the capacity for pregnancy--cisgender women,
transgender men, nonbinary individuals, those who identify with
a different gender, and others--who are unjustly harmed by
restrictions on abortion services.
(16) Pregnant individuals will continue to experience a
range of pregnancy outcomes, including abortion, miscarriage,
stillbirths, and infant losses regardless of how the State
attempts to exert power over their reproductive decisionmaking,
and will continue to need support for their health and well-
being through their reproductive lifespans.
(17) Evidence from the United States and around the globe
bears out that criminalizing abortion invariably leads to
arrests, investigations, and imprisonment of people who end
their pregnancies or experience pregnancy loss, leading to
violations of fundamental rights to liberty, dignity, bodily
autonomy, equality, due process, privacy, health, and freedom
from cruel and inhumane treatment.
(18) All major experts in public health and medicine such
as the American Medical Association, American Public Health
Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Society
of Addiction Medicine, and the American College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists, oppose the criminalization of
pregnancy outcomes because the threat of being subject to
investigation or punishment through the criminal legal system
when seeking health care threatens pregnant people's lives and
undermines public health by deterring people from seeking care
for obstetrical emergencies.
(19) Antiabortion stigma that is compounded by abortion
bans and restrictions also contributes to violence and
harassment that put both people seeking and people providing
abortion care at risk. From 1977 to 2021, there were 11
murders, 42 bombings, 196 acts of arson, 491 assaults, and
thousands of other incidents of criminal activity directed at
abortion seekers, providers, volunteers, and clinic staff. This
violence existed under Roe and has been steadily escalating for
years. The presence of dangerous protestors and organized
extremists acts as yet another barrier to abortion care, and
this threat has become even more urgent as abortion bans
proliferate and stigma around abortion care increases.
(20) Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures in
the United States. An independent, comprehensive review of the
state of science on the safety and quality of abortion
services, published by the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine in 2018, found that abortion in the
United States is safe and effective and that the biggest
threats to the quality of abortion services in the United
States are State regulations that create barriers to care. Such
abortion-specific restrictions, as well as broader State bans,
conflict with medical standards and are not supported by the
recommendations and guidelines issued by leading reproductive
health care professional organizations including the American
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Society of
Family Planning, the National Abortion Federation, the World
Health Organization, and others.
(21) For over 20 years, medication abortion care has been
available in the United States as a safe, effective, Food and
Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatment to end an early
pregnancy. Today, medication abortion care accounts for more
than half of all pregnancy terminations in the United States;
however, significant barriers to access remain in place,
particularly in States that have imposed onerous restrictions
that conflict with FDA's regulation of medication abortion.
Additionally, opponents of abortion are now deploying new
tactics to limit access to this FDA-approved medication that
would set a dangerous precedent for the Federal regulation of
medication products and have national repercussions.
(22) Health care providers are subject to licensing laws in
various jurisdictions, which are not affected by this Act
except as expressly provided in this Act.
(23) International human rights law recognizes that access
to abortion is intrinsically linked to the rights to life,
health, equality and nondiscrimination, privacy, and freedom
from ill treatment. United Nations (UN) human rights treaty
monitoring bodies have found that legal abortion services, like
other reproductive health care services, must be available,
accessible, affordable, acceptable, and of good quality. UN
human rights treaty bodies have condemned criminalization of
abortion and medically unnecessary barriers to abortion
services, including mandatory waiting periods, biased
counseling requirements, and third-party authorization
requirements.
(24) Core human rights treaties ratified by the United
States protect access to abortion. For example, in 2018, the UN
Human Rights Committee, which oversees implementation of the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR),
made clear that the right to life, enshrined in Article 6 of
the ICCPR, at a minimum requires governments to provide safe,
legal, and effective access to abortion where a person's life
and health are at risk, or when carrying a pregnancy to term
would otherwise cause substantial pain or suffering. The
Committee stated that governments must not impose restrictions
on abortion which subject women and girls to physical or mental
pain or suffering, discriminate against them, arbitrarily
interfere with their privacy, or place them at risk of
undertaking unsafe abortions. The Committee stated that
governments should not apply criminal sanctions to women and
girls who undergo abortion or to medical service providers who
assist them in doing so. Furthermore, the Committee stated that
governments should remove existing barriers that deny effective
access to safe and legal abortion, refrain from introducing new
barriers to abortion, and prevent the stigmatization of those
seeking abortion.
(25) International human rights experts have condemned the
Dobbs decision and regression on abortion rights in the United
States more generally as a violation of human rights.
Immediately upon release of the decision, then-UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet reiterated
human rights protections for abortion and the impact that the
decision will have on the fundamental rights of millions within
the United States, particularly people with low incomes and
people belonging to racial and ethnic minorities. UN
independent human rights experts, including the UN Working
Group on discrimination against women and girls, the UN Special
Rapporteur on the right to health, and the UN Special
Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, similarly
denounced the decision. At the conclusion of a human rights
review of the United States in August 2022, the UN Committee on
the Elimination of Racial Discrimination noted deep concerns
with the Dobbs decision and recommended that the United States
address the disparate impact that it will have on racial and
ethnic minorities, Indigenous women, and those with low
incomes.
(26) Abortion bans and restrictions affect the cost and
availability of abortion services, and the settings in which
abortion services are delivered. People travel across State
lines and otherwise engage in interstate commerce to access
this essential medical care. Likewise, health care providers
travel across State lines and otherwise engage in interstate
commerce in order to provide abortion services to patients, and
more would be forced to do so absent this Act.
(27) Legal limitations and requirements imposed upon health
care providers or their patients invariably affect commerce
over which the United States has jurisdiction. Health care
providers engage in a form of economic and commercial activity
when they provide abortion services, and there is an interstate
market for abortion services.
(28) Abortion bans and restrictions substantially affect
interstate commerce in numerous ways. For example, to provide
abortion services, health care providers engage in interstate
commerce to purchase medicine, medical equipment, and other
necessary goods and services. To provide and assist others in
providing abortion services, health care providers engage in
interstate commerce to obtain and provide training. To provide
abortion services, health care providers employ and obtain
commercial services from doctors, nurses, and other personnel
who engage in interstate commerce, including by and traveling
across State lines.
(29) Congress has the authority to enact this Act to
protect access to abortion services pursuant to--
(A) its powers under the commerce clause of section
8 of article I of the Constitution of the United
States;
(B) its powers under section 5 of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to
enforce the provisions of section 1 of the Fourteenth
Amendment; and
(C) its powers under the necessary and proper
clause of section 8 of article I of the Constitution of
the United States.
(30) Congress has used its authority in the past to protect
access to abortion services and health care providers' ability
to provide abortion services. In the early 1990s, protests and
blockades at health care facilities where abortion services
were provided, and associated violence, increased dramatically
and reached crisis level, requiring congressional action.
Congress passed the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act
(Public Law 103-259; 108 Stat. 694) to address that situation
and protect physical access to abortion services.
(31) Congressional action is necessary to put an end to
harmful restrictions, to protect access to abortion services
for everyone regardless of where they live, to protect the
ability of health care providers to provide these services in a
safe and accessible manner, and to eliminate unwarranted
burdens on commerce and the right to travel.
SEC. 3. PURPOSE.
The purposes of this Act are as follows:
(1) To permit people to seek and obtain abortion services,
and to permit health care providers to provide abortion
services, without harmful or unwarranted limitations or
requirements that single out the provision of abortion services
for restrictions that are more burdensome than those
restrictions imposed on medically comparable procedures, do not
significantly advance reproductive health or the safety of
abortion services, or make abortion services more difficult to
access.
(2) To promote access to abortion services and thereby
protect women's ability to participate equally in the economic
and social life of the United States.
(3) To protect people's ability to make decisions about
their bodies, medical care, family, and life's course.
(4) To eliminate unwarranted burdens on commerce and the
right to travel. Abortion bans and restrictions invariably
affect commerce over which the United States has jurisdiction.
Health care providers engage in economic and commercial
activity when they provide abortion services. Moreover, there
is an interstate market for abortion services and, in order to
provide such services, health care providers engage in
interstate commerce to purchase medicine, medical equipment,
and other necessary goods and services; to obtain and provide
training; and to employ and obtain commercial services from
health care personnel, many of whom themselves engage in
interstate commerce, including by traveling across State lines.
Congress has the authority to enact this Act to protect access
to abortion services pursuant to--
(A) its powers under the commerce clause of section
8 of article I of the Constitution of the United
States;
(B) its powers under section 5 of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to
enforce the provisions of section 1 of the Fourteenth
Amendment; and
(C) its powers under the necessary and proper
clause of section 8 of article I of the Constitution of
the United States.
SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS.
In this Act:
(1) Abortion services.--The term ``abortion services''

facts of the case before the health care provider, there is a
reasonable likelihood of sustained fetal survival outside the
uterus with or without artificial support.
SEC. 5. PROTECTED ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES.
(a) General Rules.--
(1) Pre-viability.--A health care provider has a right
under this Act to provide abortion services, and a patient has
a corresponding right under this Act to terminate a pregnancy
prior to viability without being subject to any of the
following limitations or requirements:
(A) A prohibition on abortion prior to viability,
including a prohibition or restriction on a particular
abortion procedure or method, or a prohibition on
providing or obtaining such abortions.
(B) A limitation on a health care provider's
ability to prescribe or dispense drugs that could be
used for reproductive health purposes based on current
evidence-based regimens or the provider's good-faith
medical judgment, or a limitation on a patient's
ability to receive or use such drugs, other than a
limitation generally applicable to the prescription,
dispensing, or distribution of drugs.
(C) A limitation on a health care provider's
ability to provide, or a patient's ability to receive,
abortion services via telemedicine, other than a
limitation generally applicable to the provision of
medically comparable services via telemedicine.
(D) A limitation or prohibition on a patient's
ability to receive, or a provider's ability to provide,
abortion services in a State based on the State of
residency of the patient, or a prohibition or
limitation on the ability of any individual to assist
or support a patient seeking abortion.
(E) A requirement that a health care provider
perform specific tests or medical procedures in
connection with the provision of abortion services
(including prior to or subsequent to the abortion),
unless generally required for the provision of
medically comparable procedures.
(F) A requirement that a health care provider offer
or provide a patient seeking abortion services
medically inaccurate information.
(G) A limitation or requirement concerning the
physical plant, equipment, staffing, or hospital
transfer arrangements of facilities where abortion
services are provided, or the credentials or hospital
privileges or status of personnel at such facilities,
that is not imposed on facilities or the personnel of
facilities where medically comparable procedures are
performed.
(H) A requirement that, prior to obtaining an
abortion, a patient make one or more medically
unnecessary in-person visits to the provider of
abortion services or to any individual or entity that
does not provide abortion services.
(I) A limitation on a health care provider's
ability to provide immediate abortion services when
that health care provider believes, based on the good-
faith medical judgment of the provider, that delay
would pose a risk to the patient's life or health.
(J) A requirement that a patient seeking abortion
services at any point or points in time prior to
viability disclose the patient's reason or reasons for
seeking abortion services, or a limitation on providing
or obtaining abortion services at any point or points
in time prior to viability based on any actual,
perceived, or potential reason or reasons of the
patient for obtaining abortion services, regardless of
whether the limitation is based on a health care
provider's actual or constructive knowledge of such
reason or reasons.
(2) Post-viability.--
(A) In general.--A health care provider has a right
under this Act to provide abortion services and a
patient has a corresponding right under this Act to
terminate a pregnancy after viability when, in the
good-faith medical judgement of the treating health
care provider, it is necessary to protect the life or
health of the patient. This subparagraph shall not
otherwise apply after viability.
(B) Additional circumstances.--A State may provide
additional circumstances under which post viability
abortions are permitted under this paragraph.
(C) Limitation.--In the case where a termination of
a pregnancy after viability, in the good-faith medical
judgement of the treating health care provider, is
necessary to protect the life or health of the patient,
a State shall not impose any of the limitations or
requirements described in paragraph (1).
(b) Other Limitations or Requirements.--The rights described in
subsection (a) shall not be limited or otherwise infringed through any
other limitation or requirement that--
(1) expressly, effectively, implicitly, or as implemented,
singles out abortion, the provision of abortion services,
individuals who seek abortion services or who provide
assistance and support to those seeking abortion services,
health care providers who provide abortion services, or
facilities in which abortion services are provided; and
(2) impedes access to abortion services.
(c) Factors for Consideration.--A court may consider the following
factors, among others, in determining whether a limitation or
requirement impedes access to abortion services for purposes of
subsection (b)(2):
(1) Whether the limitation or requirement, in a provider's
good-faith medical judgment, interferes with a health care
provider's ability to provide care and render services, or
poses a risk to the patient's health or safety.
(2) Whether the limitation or requirement is reasonably
likely to delay or deter a patient in accessing abortion
services.
(3) Whether the limitation or requirement is reasonably
likely to directly or indirectly increase the cost of providing
abortion services or the cost for obtaining abortion services
such as costs associated with travel, childcare, or time off
work.
(4) Whether the limitation or requirement is reasonably
likely to have the effect of necessitating patient travel that
would not otherwise have been required, including by making it
necessary for a patient to travel out of State to obtain
services.
(5) Whether the limitation or requirement is reasonably
likely to result in a decrease in the availability of abortion
services in a given State or geographic region.
(6) Whether the limitation or requirement imposes penalties
that are not imposed on other health care providers for
comparable conduct or failure to act, or that are more severe
than penalties imposed on other health care providers for
comparable conduct or failure to act.
(7) The cumulative impact of the limitation or requirement
combined with other limitations or requirements.
(d) Exception.--To defend against a claim that a limitation or
requirement violates a health care provider's or patient's rights under
subsection (b) a party must establish, by clear and convincing
evidence, that the limitation or requirement is essential to
significantly advance the safety of abortion services or the health of
patients and that the safety or health objective cannot be accomplished
by a different means that does not interfere with the right protected
under subsection (b).
SEC. 6. PROTECTION OF THE RIGHT TO TRAVEL.
A person has a fundamental right under the Constitution of the
United States and this Act to travel to a State other than the person's
State of residence, including to obtain reproductive health services
such as prenatal, childbirth, fertility, and abortion services, and a
person has a right under this Act to assist another person to obtain
such services or otherwise exercise the right described in this
section.
SEC. 7. APPLICABILITY AND PREEMPTION.
(a) In General.--
(1) Superseding inconsistent laws.--Except as provided
under subsection (b), this Act shall supersede any inconsistent
Federal or State law, and the implementation of such law,
whether statutory, common law, or otherwise, and whether
adopted prior to or after the date of enactment of this Act. A
Federal or State government official shall not administer,
implement, or enforce any law, rule, regulation, standard, or
other provision having the force and effect of law that
conflicts with any provision of this Act, notwithstanding any
other provision of Federal law, including the Religious Freedom
Restoration Act of 1993 (42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq.).
(2) Laws after date of enactment.--Federal law enacted
after the date of the enactment of this Act shall be subject to
this Act unless such law explicitly excludes such application
by reference to this Act.
(b) Limitations.--The provisions of this Act shall not supersede or
apply to--
(1) laws regulating physical access to clinic entrances;
(2) laws regulating insurance or medical assistance
coverage of abortion services;
(3) the procedure described in section 1531(b)(1) of title
18, United States Code; or
(4) generally applicable State contract law.
(c) Preemption Defense.--In any legal or administrative action
against a person or entity who has exercised or attempted to exercise a
right protected by section 4 or section 5 or against any person or
entity who has taken any step to assist any such person or entity in
exercising such right, this Act shall also apply to, and may be raised
as a defense by, such person or entity, in addition to the remedies
specified in section 8.
SEC. 8. RULES OF CONSTRUCTION.
(a) Liberal Construction by Courts.--In any action before a court
under this Act, the court shall liberally construe the provisions of
this Act to effectuate the purposes of the Act.
(b) Protection of Life and Health.--Nothing in this Act shall be
construed to authorize any government official to interfere with,
diminish, or negatively affect a person's ability to obtain or provide
abortion services prior to viability, or after viability when, in the
good-faith medical judgment of the treating health care provider,
continuation of the pregnancy would pose a risk to the pregnant
patient's life or health.
(c) Government Officials.--Any person who, by operation of a
provision of Federal or State law, is permitted to implement or enforce
a limitation or requirement that violates section 4 or 5 shall be
considered a government official for purposes of this Act.
SEC. 9. ENFORCEMENT.
(a) Attorney General.--The Attorney General may commence a civil
action on behalf of the United States in any district court of the
United States against any State that violates, or against any
government official (including a person described in section 7(c)) who
implements or enforces a limitation or requirement that violates,
section 4 or 5. The court shall declare unlawful the limitation or
requirement if it is determined to be in violation of this Act.
(b) Private Right of Action.--
(1) In general.--Any individual or entity adversely
affected by an alleged violation of this Act, including any
person or health care provider, may commence a civil action
against any government official (including a person described
in section 7(c)) that implements or enforces a limitation or
requirement that violates, section 4 or 5. The court shall
declare unlawful the limitation or requirement if it is
determined to be in violation of this Act.
(2) Health care provider.--A health care provider may
commence an action for relief on its own behalf, on behalf of
the provider's staff, and on behalf of the provider's patients
who are or may be adversely affected by an alleged violation of
this Act.
(c) Pre-Enforcement Challenges.--A suit under subsection (a) or (b)
may be brought to prevent enforcement or implementation by any
government of a State limitation or requirement that is inconsistent
with section 4 or 5.
(d) Declaratory and Equitable Relief.--In any action under this
section, the court may award appropriate declaratory and equitable
relief, including temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive
relief.
(e) Costs.--In any action under this section, the court shall award
costs of litigation, as well as reasonable attorney's fees, to any
prevailing plaintiff. A plaintiff shall not be liable to a defendant
for costs or attorney's fees in any non-frivolous action under this
section.
(f) Jurisdiction.--The district courts of the United States shall
have jurisdiction over proceedings under this Act and shall exercise
the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have
exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided for
by law.
(g) Abrogation of State Immunity.--Neither a State that enforces or
maintains, nor a government official (including a person described in
section 7(c)) who is permitted to implement or enforce any limitation
or requirement that violates section 4 or 5 shall be immune under the
Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the Eleventh
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, or any other source
of law, from an action in a Federal or State court of competent
jurisdiction challenging that limitation or requirement, unless such
immunity is required by clearly established Federal law, as determined
by the Supreme Court of the United States.
SEC. 10. EFFECTIVE DATE.
This Act shall take effect upon the date of enactment of this Act.
SEC. 11. SEVERABILITY.
If any provision of this Act, or the application of such provision
to any person, entity, government, or circumstance, is held to be
unconstitutional, the remainder of this Act, or the application of such
provision to all other persons, entities, governments, or
circumstances, shall not be affected thereby.

H. R. 120
To direct that certain assessments with respect to toxicity of
chemicals be carried out by the program offices of the Environmental
Protection Agency, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 9, 2023
Mr. Biggs introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and in addition to the
Committee on Energy and Commerce, 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 direct that certain assessments with respect to toxicity of
chemicals be carried out by the program offices of the Environmental
Protection Agency, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Improving Science in Chemical
Assessments Act''.
SEC. 2. RESEARCH NEEDS AND PRIORITIES OF EPA PROGRAM OFFICES.
The Environmental Research, Development, and Demonstration
Authorization Act of 1978 is amended by striking section 7 (42 U.S.C.
4364) and inserting the following new sections:
``SEC. 7. RESEARCH NEEDS AND PRIORITIES OF EPA PROGRAM OFFICES.
``(a) In General.--The Administrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency shall assure that the expenditure of any funds
appropriated pursuant to this Act or any other provision of law for
environmental research and development related to regulatory program
activities shall be coordinated with and reflect the research needs and
priorities of the relevant program offices, as well as the overall
research needs and priorities of the Agency, including those defined in
the five-year research plan.
``(b) Hazard Identification and Dose-Response Assessments.--
Beginning on the date of the enactment of the Improving Science in
Chemical Assessments Act, any covered assessments carried out with
respect to a chemical substance through the Integrated Risk Information
System program of the Environmental Protection Agency as of the day
before such date of enactment shall, in lieu of being carried out
through such program, be carried out by the relevant program office of
the Environmental Protection Agency, so long as the relevant program
office determines there is a need for such an assessment. Such an
assessment shall be carried out using the scientific standards
specified in section 7B and be based on the weight of the scientific
evidence.
``(c) Toxicity Values.--In carrying out a covered assessment with
respect to a chemical substance under subsection (b), the relevant
program office shall assign a toxicity value or values, when
scientifically supported by the available data, for such chemical
substance. With respect to that assignment, the following shall apply:
``(1) When supported by the available data, the toxicity
value or values shall include a range of point estimates of
risk, as well as sources and magnitudes of uncertainty
associated with the estimates.
``(2) When multiple point estimates can be developed, the
relevant program office shall--
``(A) consider all datasets; and
``(B) make a determination about how best to
represent the human health risk posed by the chemical
substance involved.
``(d) Chemical Assessment Database.--
``(1) In general.--A toxicity value or values assigned to a
chemical substance under subsection (c) shall be included in a
chemical assessment database to be maintained by the Office of
Research and Development of the Environmental Protection
Agency.
``(2) Completed assessments.--All covered assessments
stored, as of the date of the enactment of this Act, in the
IRIS database of the Environmental Protection Agency shall be
retained in the chemical assessment database established
pursuant to paragraph (1).
``(3) Updates.--Such database shall be updated pursuant to
a covered assessment performed by a relevant program office,
including to make a change in the existing toxicity value or
values for a chemical substance included in such database.
``(e) Certification.--Beginning 2 years after the date of the
enactment of the Improving Science in Chemical Assessments Act and
every 2 years thereafter, the Office of Research and Development of the
Environmental Protection Agency shall submit to the Committee on
Science, Space, and Technology and the Committee on Energy and Commerce
of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Environment and
Public Works of the Senate a report containing a certification that
each covered assessment completed during the period covered by the
report was conducted using the scientific standards specified in
section 7B.
``(f) Definitions.--In this section, section 7A, and section 7B:
``(1) Covered assessment.--The term `covered assessment'
means, with respect to the evaluation of the human health
effects resulting from chronic exposure to a chemical
substance, a chemical hazard identification and dose-response
assessment (as such terms are defined by the Environmental
Protection Agency on the day before the date of the enactment
of this section).
``(2) Relevant program office.--The term `relevant program
office' includes the following offices of the Environmental
Protection Agency:
``(A) The Office of Water.
``(B) The Office of Air and Radiation.
``(C) The Office of Land and Emergency Management.
``(D) The Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution
Prevention.
``(E) Any successor to an office specified in
subparagraphs (A) through (D) and any other office
determined to be relevant by the Administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency.
``SEC. 7A. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND DOSE-RESPONSE STEERING COMMITTEE.
``(a) Establishment.--Not later than 30 days after the date of the
enactment of the Improving Science in Chemical Assessments Act, the
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall establish a
chemical hazard identification and dose-response steering committee
(referred to in this section as the `steering committee') to coordinate
the conduct of covered assessments by relevant program offices for
purposes of ensuring that, with respect to such assessments, there is
no duplication of effort by such offices.
``(b) Duty.--The duties of the steering committee are the
following:
``(1) If the steering committee learns that more than one
relevant program office intends to conduct covered assessments
with respect to the same chemical substance, the steering
committee shall determine the most effective means of carrying
out a single covered assessment to prevent duplication of
effort by such offices.
``(2) For purposes of supplementing a covered assessment,
the steering committee shall consider any third-party
assessment of a chemical substance generated by another
Federal, State, or international agency or agencies or members
of the scientific community that meets the requirements
specified in subsection (e).
``(c) Chair; Composition.--
``(1) Chair.--The steering committee shall be chaired by
the Assistant Administrator of the Office of Research and
Development of the Environmental Protection Agency.
``(2) Composition.--The steering committee shall be
composed of 15 members, all of whom shall be active, full-time
employees of the Environmental Protection Agency, with at least
one member representing each relevant program office and each
regional office of the Environmental Protection Agency. The
members of the steering committee shall be appointed by the
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Any
vacancy shall be filled in the same manner as the initial
appointment.
``(d) Meetings.--The steering committee shall meet at least once
each calendar year.
``(e) Third-Party Assessment Requirements.--The requirements
specified in this subsection with respect to a third-party assessment
of a chemical substance are that the assessment--
``(1) is conducted using scientific standards specified in
section 7B;
``(2) has undergone independent scientific review for
transparency, completeness, and quality; and
``(3) reflects the best available science and the weight of
the available scientific evidence.
``SEC. 7B. SCIENTIFIC STANDARDS.
``Covered assessments carried out under section 7 and discussion of
such assessments and review of third-party assessments carried out
under section 7A shall be conducted using scientific information,
technical procedures, measures, methods, protocols, methodologies, or
models in a manner consistent with the best available science. In
carrying out such an assessment, the relevant program office shall
integrate all lines of scientific evidence and consider, as applicable,
the following:
``(1) The extent to which the scientific information,
technical procedures, measures, methods, protocols,
methodologies, or models employed to generate the scientific
information are reasonable for and consistent with the intended
use of the scientific information.
``(2) The extent to which the scientific information is
relevant for the relevant program office's use in making a
decision regarding a chemical substance.
``(3) The degree of clarity and completeness with which the
data, assumptions, methods, quality assurance, and analyses
employed to generate the scientific information are documented
and publicly available in a manner that honors legal and
ethical obligations to reduce the risks of unauthorized
disclosure and re-identification.
``(4) The extent to which the variability and uncertainty
in the scientific information, or in the procedures, measures,
methods, protocols, methodologies, or models, are evaluated and
characterized.
``(5) The extent of independent verification or peer review
of the scientific information or of the procedures, measures,
methods, protocols, methodologies, or models.
``(6) The ability of the scientific findings and research
to be replicated or reproduced.
``(7) The extent to which the available scientific
information supports dose-response modeling, using non-linear
approaches.''.

legislation appropriating funds) in order for the plan to meet
the additional requirement imposed by the amendments made by
this section, the State plan shall not be regarded as failing
to comply with the requirements of such title solely on the
basis of its failure to meet this additional requirement before
the first day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the
close of the first regular session of the State legislature
that begins after the date of the enactment of this Act. For
purposes of the previous sentence, in the case of a State that

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To withhold Federal financial assistance from each country that denies
or unreasonably delays the acceptance of nationals of such country who
have been ordered removed from the United States and to prohibit the
issuance of visas to nationals of such country.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Criminal Alien Deportation
Enforcement Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO COUNTRIES THAT
DENY OR UNREASONABLY DELAY THE ACCEPTANCE OF NATIONALS
WHO HAVE BEEN ORDERED REMOVED FROM THE UNITED STATES.
Chapter 1 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22
U.S.C. 2151 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following:
``SEC. 137. PROHIBITION ON FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO COUNTRIES
THAT DENY OR UNREASONABLY DELAY THE REPATRIATION OF
NATIONALS WHO HAVE BEEN ORDERED REMOVED FROM THE UNITED
STATES.
``(a) In General.--Except as otherwise provided under this section,
funds made available under this Act may not be dispersed to a foreign
country that refuses or unreasonably delays the acceptance of an alien
who--
``(1) is a citizen, subject, national, or resident of such
country; and
``(2) has received a final order of removal under chapter 4
of title II of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1221 et seq.).
``(b) Defined Term.--In this section and in section 243(d) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1253(d)), a country is deemed
to have refused or unreasonable delayed the acceptance of an alien who
is a citizen, subject, national, or resident if the country does not
accept the alien within 90 days of receiving a request to repatriate
such alien from an official of the United States who is authorized to
make such a request.
``(c) Quarterly Reports.--Not later than 90 days after the date of
enactment of this section, and every 3 months thereafter, the Secretary
of Homeland Security shall submit a report to the Senate and the House
of Representatives that--
``(1) lists all the countries which refuse or unreasonably
delay repatriation (as defined in subsection (b)); and
``(2) includes the total number of aliens who were refused
repatriation, organized by--
``(A) country;
``(B) detention status; and
``(C) criminal status.
``(d) Issuance of Travel Documents.--If a country is listed in a
report submitted under subsection (c), the country shall be subject to
the sanctions described in subsection (a) and in section 243(d) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act unless the country issues appropriate
travel documents--
``(1) not later than 100 days after the submission of such
report on behalf of all aliens described in subsection (a) who
have been convicted of a crime committed while in the United
States; and
``(2) not later than 200 days after the submission of such
report on behalf of all other aliens described in subsection
(a).
``(e) Standing.--A victim or an immediate family member of a victim
of a crime committed by any alien described in subsection (a) after
such alien has been issued a final order of removal shall have standing
to sue in any Federal district court to enforce the provisions of this
section and the provisions of section 243(d) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act. No monetary judgments may be awarded in a suit filed
under this subsection.''.
SEC. 3. DISCONTINUING GRANTING VISAS TO NATIONALS OF COUNTRY DENYING OR
DELAYING ACCEPTING ALIENS.
Section 243(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1253(d)) is amended to read as follows:
``(d) Discontinuing Granting Visas to Nationals of Country Denying
or Delaying Accepting Aliens.--
``(1) In general.--If a country is listed on the most
recent report submitted by the Secretary of Homeland Security
to Congress under section 137(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act
of 1961, no visa may be issued to or status under the
immigration laws provided to a subject, national, or resident
of such country unless the country is in full compliance with
section 137(d) of such Act.
``(2) Effect of unauthorized issuance.--Any visa issued or
status provided in violation of this paragraph shall be null
and void.
``(3) Standing.--A victim or an immediate family member of
a victim of a crime committed by any alien described in section
137(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 after such alien
has been issued a final order of removal shall have standing to
sue in any Federal district court to enforce the provisions of
this subsection. No monetary judgments may be awarded in a suit
filed under this subsection.''.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise
to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022 to limit attorney fees
available under the Federal cause of action relating to water at Camp

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Protect Access to Justice for
Veterans Act''.
SEC. 2. LIMITATION ON ATTORNEY FEES FOR FEDERAL CAUSE OF ACTION
RELATING TO WATER AT CAMP LEJEUNE, NORTH CAROLINA.
Section 804 of the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our
Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-
168; 28 U.S.C. 2671 note prec.) is amended by adding at the end the
following new subsection:
``(k) Attorney Fees.--
``(1) Limitations.--No legal representative of an
individual who brings an action under subsection (b) or who
presents a claim under section 2675 of title 28, United States
Code, pursuant to subsection (h) shall charge, demand, receive,
or collect for services rendered in bringing such action or
presenting such claim, fees in excess of--
``(A) 20 percent of an award, compromise, or
settlement made or reached within 180 days after
presenting a claim under section 2675 of title 28,
United States Code, pursuant to subsection (h); and
``(B) 33.3 percent on a claim that is resolved by
settlement, compromise, or judgement after the
initiation of an action.
``(2) Terms for payment of fees.--Any judgment rendered,
settlement entered, compromise made, or other award made with
respect to an action brought under subsection (b) or a claim
presented under section 2675 of title 28, United States Code,
pursuant to subsection (h) by a legal representative of an
individual shall require the following:
``(A) All funds from the judgment, settlement,
compromise, or other award shall be deposited into an
account held in trust for the individual in accordance
with all applicable provisions of State law.
``(B) The legal representative shall--
``(i) once any funds described in
subparagraph (A) have been deposited into an
account pursuant to such subparagraph, notify
the individual of such deposit; and
``(ii) promptly deliver to such individual
such amount of such funds as the individual is
entitled to receive.
``(C) That no funds shall be paid from the account
described in subparagraph (A) to a legal representative
of the individual as compensation for services rendered
to such individual until the relevant funds from such
account have been disbursed to the individual in
accordance with subparagraph (B).
``(3) Penalties.--
``(A) Fee limitations.--Any legal representative
who charges, demands, receives, or collects for
services rendered in connection with an action under
subsection (b) or a claim under section 2675 of title
28, United States Code, pursuant to subsection (h), any
amount in excess of that allowed under paragraph (1) of
this subsection, if recovery be had, shall be fined not
more than $5,000.
``(B) Terms for payment.--Failure of a legal
representative subject to paragraph (2) to comply with
a requirement of such paragraph shall be punishable
consistent with the penalties provided in section 2678
of title 28, United States Code.
``(4) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this subsection
shall be construed to annul, alter, affect, or exempt any
person from complying with the laws of any State or locality
with respect to the practice of law, except to the extent that
those laws are inconsistent with any provision of this
subsection, and then only to the extent of the
inconsistency.''.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Mineral Leasing Act to streamline the oil and gas
permitting process and to recognize fee ownership for certain oil and
gas drilling or spacing units, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Bureau of Land Management Mineral
Spacing Act''.
SEC. 2. ACCESS TO FEDERAL ENERGY RESOURCES FROM NON-FEDERAL SURFACE
ESTATE.
Section 17 of the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 226) is amended by
adding at the end the following:
``(r) No Federal Permit Required for Oil and Gas Activities on
Certain Land.--
``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall not require an
operator to obtain a Federal drilling permit for oil and gas
exploration and production activities conducted on non-Federal
surface estate, provided that--
``(A) the United States holds an ownership interest
of less than 50 percent of the subsurface mineral
estate to be accessed by the proposed action; and
``(B) the operator submits to the Secretary a State
permit to conduct oil and gas exploration and
production activities on the non-Federal surface
estate.
``(2) No federal action.--An oil and gas exploration and
production activity carried out under paragraph (1)--
``(A) shall not be considered a major Federal
action for the purposes of section 102(2)(C) of the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.
4332);
``(B) shall require no additional Federal action;
``(C) may commence 30 days after submission of the
State permit to the Secretary; and
``(D) shall not be subject to--
``(i) section 306108 of title 54, United
States Code (commonly known as the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966); and
``(ii) section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1536).
``(3) Royalties and production accountability.--(A) Nothing
in this subsection shall affect the amount of royalties due to
the United States under this Act from the production of oil and
gas, or alter the Secretary's authority to conduct audits and
collect civil penalties pursuant to the Federal Oil and Gas
Royalty Management Act of 1982 (30 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).
``(B) The Secretary may conduct onsite reviews and
inspections to ensure proper accountability, measurement, and
reporting of production of Federal oil and gas, and payment of
royalties.
``(4) Nonapplicability to indian lands.--This subsection
shall not apply to Indian lands.
``(5) Indian land.--In this subsection, the term `Indian
land' means--
``(A) any land located within the boundaries of an
Indian reservation, pueblo, or rancheria; and
``(B) any land not located within the boundaries of
an Indian reservation, pueblo, or rancheria, the title
to which is held--
``(i) in trust by the United States for the
benefit of an Indian tribe or an individual
Indian;
``(ii) by an Indian tribe or an individual
Indian, subject to restriction against
alienation under laws of the United States; or
``(iii) by a dependent Indian community.''.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Act of June 18, 1934, to reaffirm the authority of the
Secretary of the Interior to take land into trust for Indian Tribes,
and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. REAFFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY.
(a) Modification.--
(1) In general.--The first sentence of section 19 of the
Act of June 18, 1934 (25 U.S.C. 5129), is amended--
(A) by striking ``The term'' and inserting
``Effective beginning June 18, 1934, the term''; and
(B) by striking ``any recognized Indian tribe now
under Federal jurisdiction'' and inserting ``any
federally recognized Indian Tribe''.
(2) Effective date.--The amendments made by paragraph (1)
shall take effect as if included in the Act of June 18, 1934
(commonly known as the ``Indian Reorganization Act''; 25 U.S.C.
5101 et seq.), on the date of the enactment of that Act.
(b) Ratification and Confirmation of Actions.--Any action taken by
the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to the Act of June 18, 1934 (25
U.S.C. 5101 et seq.), for any Indian Tribe that was federally
recognized on the date of the action is ratified and confirmed, to the
extent such action is subjected to challenge based on whether the
Indian Tribe was federally recognized or under Federal jurisdiction on
June 18, 1934, as if the action had, by prior Act of Congress, been
specifically authorized and directed.
(c) Effect on Other Laws.--
(1) In general.--Nothing in this section or the amendments
made by this section affects--

other than the Act of June 18, 1934 (25 U.S.C. 5101 et
seq.), as amended by subsection (a); or
(B) any limitation on the authority of the
Secretary of the Interior under any Federal law or
regulation other than the Act of June 18, 1934 (25
U.S.C. 5101 et seq.), as amended by subsection (a).
(2) References in other laws.--An express reference to the
Act of June 18, 1934 (25 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.), contained in any
other Federal law shall be considered to be a reference to that
Act as amended by subsection (a).

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To preserve open competition and Federal Government neutrality towards
the labor relations of Federal Government contractors on Federal and
federally funded construction projects, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Fair and Open Competition Act'' or
the ``FOCA Act''.
SEC. 2. PURPOSES.
It is the purpose of this Act to--
(1) promote and ensure open competition on Federal and
federally funded or assisted construction projects;
(2) maintain Federal Government neutrality towards the
labor relations of Federal Government contractors on Federal
and federally funded or assisted construction projects;
(3) reduce construction costs to the Federal Government and
to the taxpayers;
(4) expand job opportunities, especially for small and
disadvantaged businesses; and
(5) prevent discrimination against Federal Government
contractors or their employees based upon labor affiliation or
the lack thereof, thereby promoting the economical,
nondiscriminatory, and efficient administration and completion
of Federal and federally funded or assisted construction
projects.
SEC. 3. PRESERVATION OF OPEN COMPETITION AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
NEUTRALITY.
(a) Prohibition.--
(1) General rule.--The head of each executive agency that
awards or enters into any construction contract or that
obligates funds pursuant to such a contract, shall ensure that
the agency, and any construction manager acting on behalf of
the Federal Government with respect to such contract, in its
bid specifications, project agreements, or other controlling
documents does not--
(A) require or prohibit a bidder, offeror,
contractor, or subcontractor from entering into, or
adhering to, agreements with 1 or more labor
organizations, with respect to that construction
project or another related construction project; or
(B) discriminate against or give preference to a
bidder, offeror, contractor, or subcontractor because
such bidder, offeror, contractor, or subcontractor--
(i) becomes a signatory, or otherwise
adheres to, an agreement with 1 or more labor
organizations with respect to that construction
project or another related construction
project; or
(ii) refuses to become a signatory, or
otherwise adhere to, an agreement with 1 or
more labor organizations with respect to that
construction project or another related
construction project.
(2) Application of prohibition.--This subsection shall
apply with respect to--
(A) contracts awarded on or after the date of the
enactment of this Act; and
(B) subcontracts awarded under such contracts.
(3) Rule of construction.--Nothing in paragraph (1) may be
construed to prohibit a contractor or subcontractor from
voluntarily entering into an agreement described in such
paragraph.
(4) Federal acquisition regulation.--Not later than 60 days
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Federal
Acquisition Regulation shall be revised to implement the
provisions of this subsection.
(b) Recipients of Grants and Other Assistance.--The head of each
executive agency that awards grants, provides financial assistance, or
enters into cooperative agreements for construction projects after the
date of the enactment of this Act shall ensure that--
(1) the bid specifications, project agreements, or other
controlling documents for such construction projects of a
recipient of a grant or financial assistance, or by the parties
to a cooperative agreement, do not contain any of the
requirements or prohibitions described in subparagraph (A) or
(B) of subsection (a)(1); or
(2) the bid specifications, project agreements, or other
controlling documents for such construction projects of a
construction manager acting on behalf of a recipient or party
described in paragraph (1) do not contain any of the
requirements or prohibitions described in subparagraph (A) or
(B) of subsection (a)(1).
(c) Failure To Comply.--If an executive agency, a recipient of a
grant or financial assistance from an executive agency, a party to a
cooperative agreement with an executive agency, or a construction
manager acting on behalf of such an agency, recipient, or party, fails
to comply with subsection (a) or (b), the head of the executive agency
awarding the contract, grant, or assistance, or entering into the
agreement involved, shall take such action, consistent with the law, as
the head of such agency determines to be appropriate.
(d) Exemptions.--
(1) In general.--The head of an executive agency may exempt
a particular project, contract, subcontract, grant, or
cooperative agreement from the requirements of 1 or more of the
provisions of subsections (a) and (b) if the head of such
agency determines that special circumstances exist that require
an exemption in order to avert an imminent threat to public
health or safety or to serve the national security.
(2) Special circumstances.--For purposes of paragraph (1),
a finding of special circumstances may not be based on the
possibility or existence of a labor dispute concerning
contractors or subcontractors that are nonsignatories to, or
that otherwise do not adhere to, agreements with 1 or more
labor organizations, or labor disputes concerning employees on
the project who are not members of, or affiliated with, a labor
organization.
(3) Additional exemption for certain projects.--The head of
an executive agency, upon application of an awarding authority,
a recipient of grants or financial assistance, a party to a
cooperative agreement, or a construction manager acting on
behalf of any of such entities, may exempt a particular project
from the requirements of any or all of the provisions of
subsection (a) or (b), if the head of such agency finds--
(A) that the awarding authority, recipient of
grants or financial assistance, party to a cooperative
agreement, or construction manager acting on behalf of
any of such entities had issued or was a party to, as
of the date of the enactment of this Act, bid
specifications, project agreements, agreements with 1
or more labor organizations, or other controlling
documents with respect to that particular project,
which contained any of the requirements or prohibitions
set forth in subsection (a)(1); and
(B) that 1 or more construction contracts subject
to such requirements or prohibitions had been awarded
as of the date of the enactment of this Act.
(e) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Construction contract.--The term ``construction
contract'' means any contract for the construction,
rehabilitation, alteration, conversion, extension, or repair of
buildings, highways, or other improvements to real property.
(2) Executive agency.--The term ``executive agency'' has
the meaning given the term ``Executive agency'' in section 105
of title 5, United States Code, except that such term does not
include the Government Accountability Office.
(3) Labor organization.--The term ``labor organization''
has the meaning given such term in section 701 of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e).

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the National Emergencies Act to provide that a national
emergency declared by the President terminates 30 days after the
declaration unless a joint resolution affirming such declaration is
enacted into law, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Limiting Emergency Powers Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. LIMITATION ON DURATION OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITHOUT
CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL.
(a) In General.--Section 202 of the National Emergencies Act (50
U.S.C. 1622) is amended--
(1) by striking subsection (a) and inserting the following:
``(a) Any national emergency declared by the President in
accordance with this title shall terminate if--
``(1) there has not been enacted into law a joint
resolution affirming the declaration of such national emergency
before the date that is 30 days after the date on which such
national emergency is declared;
``(2) there is enacted into law a joint resolution
terminating the emergency; or
``(3) the President issues a proclamation terminating the
emergency.'';
(2) by striking subsection (b) and inserting the following:
``(b)(1) The date on which a national emergency is terminated
pursuant to subsection (a) shall be the first occurrence of any of the
following dates:
``(A) The last date of the period described in subsection
(a)(1).
``(B) The date specified in any joint resolution referred
to in subsection (a)(2).
``(C) The date specified in a proclamation by the President
terminating the emergency as provided in subsection (a)(3).
``(2) Effective on the date of the termination of a national
emergency under paragraph (1)--
``(A) any amounts reprogrammed or transferred under any
provision of law with respect to the emergency that remain
unobligated on that date shall be returned and made available
for the purpose for which such amounts were appropriated;
``(B) any contracts entered into under any provision of law
for construction relating to the emergency shall be terminated
unless construction commenced under the contract before that
date; and
``(C) any powers or authorities exercised by reason of said
emergency shall cease to be exercised after that date, except
that a termination shall not affect--
``(i) any action taken or proceeding pending not
finally concluded or determined on such date;
``(ii) any action or proceeding based on any act
committed prior to such date; or
``(iii) any rights or duties that matured or
penalties that were incurred prior to such date.'';
(3) in subsection (c)--
(A) in paragraph (1) by inserting ``or affirm''
after ``terminate''; and
(B) in paragraph (5) by striking ``, subsection (b)
of this section,''; and
(4) by striking subsection (d) and inserting the following:
``(d) A national emergency declared by the President under section
201, affirmed by a joint resolution under subsection (a)(1), and not
otherwise previously terminated, shall terminate on the date that is 2
years after the President transmitted to Congress the proclamation
declaring the emergency under section 201(a) or Congress affirms a
previous renewal pursuant to this subsection, unless--
``(1) the President publishes in the Federal Register and
transmits to Congress an Executive order renewing the
emergency; and
``(2) there is enacted into law a joint resolution
affirming the renewal of the declaration, according to the
requirements of subsection (c), before the termination of the
emergency or previous renewal of the emergency.''.
(b) Application to National Emergencies Previously Declared.--A
national emergency declared under section 201 of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1621 et seq.) before the date of the
enactment of this Act shall be unaffected by the amendments made by
this Act except that such emergencies shall terminate on the date that
is 2 years after such date of enactment unless the emergency is renewed
under section 201(d) of the National Emergencies Act, as amended by
this Act.

To prohibit the mass cancellation of student loans.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Student Loan Accountability Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Statutory authority has not been provided to the
executive branch of the Federal Government to cancel student
loans on a mass scale.
(2) It is unfair for taxpayers who paid student loans or
did not attend college to pay for those who chose to take
student loans.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON MASS CANCELLATION OF STUDENT LOANS.
(a) Prohibition.--
(1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, the Secretary of Education, the Secretary of the Treasury,
or the Attorney General shall not take any action to cancel or
forgive the outstanding balances, or portion of balances, of
covered loans, except as provided in paragraph (2).
(2) Exemption.--The prohibition described in paragraph (1)
shall not apply to targeted Federal student loan forgiveness,
cancellation, or repayment programs carried out under the
Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.), under
final regulations as in effect on March 12, 2020.
(b) Definitions.--In this section, the term ``covered loan''
means--
(1) a loan made, insured, or guaranteed under part B, D, or
E of title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C.
1071 et seq.; 1087a et seq.; 1087aa et seq.) before, on, or
after the date of enactment of this Act; or
(2) a loan under the Health Education Assistance Loan
Program under title VII of the Public Health Service Act (42
U.S.C. 292 et seq.) made before, on, or after the date of
enactment of this Act.
(c) Limitation.--The Secretary of Education, the Secretary of the
Treasury, or the Attorney General may not implement, or publish in any
form, any regulation, or take any action, that modifies, alters,
amends, cancels, discharges, forgives, or defers the repayment of any
student debt not expressly permitted within statute or regulation as in
effect on March 12, 2020, regarding covered loans, except to the extent
that such regulation or action reflects the clear and unequivocal
intent of Congress in legislation.

(4) by inserting after paragraph (3) the following:
``(4) Minimum requirements for net price calculators.--Not
later than 1 year after the date of enactment of the Net Price
Calculator Improvement Act, a net price calculator for an
institution of higher education shall, at a minimum, meet the
following requirements:
``(A) The link for the calculator--
``(i) is clearly labeled as a `net price
calculator' and prominently, clearly, and
conspicuously (in such size and contrast (such
as shade) that it is readily noticeable and
readable) posted in locations on the
institution's website where information on
costs and aid is provided (such as financial
aid, prospective students, or tuition and fees
web pages);
``(ii) matches in size and font to the
other prominent links on the primary menu; and
``(iii) may also be included on the
institution's compliance web page, which
contains information relating to compliance
with Federal, State, and local laws.
``(B) The input screen for the net price calculator
displays a chart of the net prices for students
receiving Federal student financial aid under title IV
(as required by subsection (i)(5)) for the most recent
academic year for which data are available,
disaggregated by income categories.
``(C) The results screen for the calculator
specifies the following information:
``(i) The individual net price (as
calculated under paragraph (2)) for the
individual student, which is the most visually
prominent figure on the results screen,
including a statement of--
``(I) the year for which the net
price applies; and
``(II) the year from which the data
was used to determine that net price.
``(ii) Cost of attendance, including--
``(I) the total estimated cost for
a student to complete the program of
study, based on normal time for
completion of, or graduation from, the
student's particular program of study;
``(II) the total annual cost of
attendance;
``(III) annual tuition and fees;
``(IV) average annual cost of room

first-time, full-time undergraduate
student enrolled in the institution;
``(V) average annual cost of books
and supplies for a first-time, full-
time undergraduate student enrolled in
the institution;
``(VI) estimated annual cost of
other expenses (including personal
expenses and transportation) for a
first-time, full-time undergraduate
student enrolled in the institution;
and
``(VII) a statement of--
``(aa) the year for which
each cost described in this
clause applies; and
``(bb) the year from which
the data was used to determine
each cost described in this
clause.
``(iii) Estimated total need-based grant
aid and merit-based grant aid, from Federal,
State, and institutional sources, that may be
available to the individual student, showing
the subtotal for each category and the total of
all sources of grant aid, and disaggregated by
academic year for normal time for completion
of, or graduation from, the student's
particular program of study.
``(iv) Percentage of the first-time, full-
time undergraduate students enrolled in the
institution that received any type of grant aid
described in clause (iii), disaggregated by
their first year and subsequent years of
enrollment up to the number of years for normal
completion of, or graduation from, their
particular program of study.
``(v) The disclaimer described in paragraph
(6).
``(vi) In the case of a calculator that--
``(I) includes questions to
estimate a student's (or prospective
student's) eligibility for veterans'
education benefits (as defined in
section 480) or educational benefits
for active duty service members, such
benefits are displayed on the results
screen in a manner that clearly
distinguishes them from the grant aid
described in clause (iii); or
``(II) does not include questions
to estimate eligibility for the
benefits described in subclause (I),
the results screen indicates--
``(aa) that certain
students (or prospective
students) may qualify for such
benefits;
``(bb) states why the
institution is not including
questions to estimate a
student's eligibility for such
benefits; and
``(cc) includes a link to
an appropriate Federal website
that provides information about
such benefits.
``(D) The institution populates the calculator with
data from not earlier than 2 academic years prior to
the most recent academic year.
``(5) Prohibition on use of data collected by the net price

eligible individuals filing a joint return).
``(b) Eligible Individual.--For purposes of this section--
``(1) Eligible individual.--The term `eligible individual'
means, with respect to a taxable year, any individual--

as arising out of a mathematical or clerical error and assessed
according to section 6213(b)(1).

respect to such taxpayer for such calendar year. Semiannual payments
made to any taxpayer for any calendar year shall be in equal amounts.
``(b) Annual Advance Amount.--For purposes of this section, the
term `annual advance amount' means, with respect to any taxpayer for

36C(a) for the taxpayer's taxable year beginning in such calendar year.
``(c) Notice of Payments.--Not later than January 31 of the

Secretary determines appropriate.
``(d) Administrative Provisions.--

section, a disbursing official in the executive branch of the
United States Government may modify payment information
received from an officer or employee described in section
3325(a)(1)(B) of such title for the purpose of facilitating the
accurate and efficient delivery of such payment. Except in
cases of fraud or reckless neglect, no liability under section
3325, 3527, 3528, or 3529 of title 31, United States Code,
shall be imposed with respect to payments made under this

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mrs. Miller-Meeks (for herself, Mr. Guest, Mrs. Hinson, Mr. Nunn of
Iowa, and Mr. Feenstra) introduced the following bill; which was
referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To revise counseling requirements for certain borrowers of student
loans, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Know Before You Owe Federal Student
Loan Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. PRE-LOAN COUNSELING AND CERTIFICATION OF LOAN AMOUNT.
Section 485(l) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C.
1092(l)) is amended--
(1) in the subsection heading, by striking ``Entrance
Counseling'' and inserting ``Pre-Loan Counseling'';
(2) in paragraph (1)(A)--
(A) in the matter preceding clause (i), by striking
``a disbursement to a first-time borrower of a loan''
and inserting ``the first disbursement of each new loan
(or the first disbursement in each award year if more
than one new loan is obtained in the same award
year)''; and
(B) in clause (ii)(I), by striking ``an entrance
counseling'' and inserting ``a counseling'';
(3) in paragraph (2)--
(A) by striking subparagraph (G) and inserting the
following:
``(G) An estimate of the borrower's monthly payment
amount compared to the borrower's estimated monthly
income after taxes, after living expenses (using
Consumer Expenditure Survey data from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics), after estimated health insurance
costs, and after any other relevant expenses, based
on--
``(i) the best available data on starting
wages for the borrower's program of study, if
available; and
``(ii) the estimated total student loan
debt of the borrower, including--
``(I) Federal debt;
``(II) to the best of the
institution's knowledge, private loan
debt already incurred; and
``(III) the estimated future debt
required to complete the program of
study.''; and
(B) by adding at the end the following:
``(L) A statement that the borrower should borrow
the minimum amount necessary to cover expenses and that
the borrower does not have to accept the full amount of
loans for which the borrower is eligible.
``(M) A warning that the higher the borrower's
debt-to-income ratio is, the more difficulty the
borrower is likely to experience in repaying the loan.
``(N) Options for reducing borrowing through
scholarships, reduced expenses, work-study, or other
work opportunities.
``(O) An explanation of the importance of
graduating on time to avoid additional borrowing, what
course load is necessary to graduate on time, and
information on how adding an additional year of study
impacts total indebtedness.''; and
(4) by adding at the end the following:
``(3)(A) In addition to the other requirements of this
subsection and in accordance with subparagraph (B), each
eligible institution shall ensure that the student manually
enter, either in writing or through electronic means, the exact
dollar amount of Federal Direct Loan funding under part D that
such student desires to borrow.
``(B) The eligible institution shall ensure that the
student carries out the activity described in subparagraph
(A)--
``(i) in the course of the process used by the
institution for students to accept a student loan
award;
``(ii) prior to the institution certifying a
Federal Direct Loan under part D for disbursement to a
student (other than a Federal Direct Consolidation Loan
or a Federal Direct PLUS loan made on behalf of a
student); and
``(iii) after ensuring that the student has
completed all of the pre-loan counseling requirements
under this subsection.''.
SEC. 3. REQUIRED PERIODIC DISCLOSURES DURING PERIODS WHEN LOAN PAYMENTS
ARE NOT REQUIRED.
Section 433 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1083) is
amended--
(1) by redesignating subsection (f) as subsection (g); and
(2) by inserting after subsection (e) the following:
``(f) Required Periodic Disclosures During Periods When Loan
Payments Are Not Required.--During any period of time when a borrower
of one or more loans, made, insured, or guaranteed under this part or
part D is not required to make a payment to an eligible lender on the
borrower's loan from that eligible lender, such eligible lender shall
provide such borrower with a quarterly statement that includes, in
simple and understandable terms--
``(1) the original principal amount of each of the
borrower's loans, and the original principal amount of those
loans in the aggregate;
``(2) the borrower's current balance, as of the time of the
statement, as applicable;
``(3) the interest rate on each loan;
``(4) the total amount the borrower has paid in interest on
each loan;
``(5) the aggregate amount the borrower has paid for each
loan, including the amount the borrower has paid in interest,
the amount the borrower has paid in fees, and the amount the
borrower has paid against the balance;
``(6) the lender's or loan servicer's address, toll-free
phone number, and webpage for payment and billing error
purposes, including information about how a borrower can make
voluntary payments when a loan is not in repayment status;
``(7) an explanation--
``(A) that the borrower has the option to pay the
interest that accrues on each loan while the borrower
is a student at an institution of higher education or
during a period of deferment or forbearance, if
applicable; and
``(B) if the borrower does not pay such interest
while attending an institution or during a period of
deferment or forbearance, any accumulated interest on
the loan will be capitalized when the loan goes into
repayment, resulting in more interest being paid over
the life of the loan;
``(8) the amount of interest that has accumulated since the
last statement based on the typical installment time period and
the aggregate interest accrued to date; and
``(9) an explanation that making even small payments of any
unspecified amount while the borrower is a student at an
institution of higher education, or during a period of
deferment or forbearance, if applicable, can help to offset
interest accrual over the life of the loan.''.
SEC. 4. CONFORMING AMENDMENTS.
(a) Program Participation Agreements.--Section 487(e)(2)(B)(ii)(IV)
of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1094(e)(2)(B)(ii)(IV))
is amended--
(1) by striking ``Entrance and exit counseling'' and
inserting ``Pre-loan and exit counseling''; and
(2) by striking ``entrance and exit counseling'' and
inserting ``pre-loan and exit counseling''.
(b) Regulatory Relief and Improvement.--Section 487A of the Higher
Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1094a) is amended by striking
``entrance and exit interviews'' and inserting ``pre-loan and exit
interviews'' each place the term appears.

1st Session
H. R. 122
To amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to provide for the calculation of
the minimum wage based on the Federal poverty threshold for a family of
4, as determined by the Bureau of the Census.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 9, 2023
Mr. Green of Texas introduced the following bill; which was referred to
the Committee on Education and the Workforce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to provide for the calculation of
the minimum wage based on the Federal poverty threshold for a family of
4, as determined by the Bureau of the Census.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Original Living Wage Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) In 2015, there were approximately 43,100,000 Americans
living in poverty who were separated from the opportunities of
the Nation by their income, their housing, and their access to
education, jobs, and health care.
(2) A full-time worker earning the Federal minimum wage
earns an income below the Federal poverty threshold for a
family of 4, consisting of 2 adults and 2 children.
(3) The average fair market rent for a 1-bedroom apartment
is more than 65 percent of the monthly income of a full-time
worker earning the minimum wage. In comparison, the generally
accepted definition of affordability is for a household to pay
not more than 30 percent of its income on housing.
(4) Two full-time workers earning the Federal minimum wage
earn an income below the national housing wage for a 1-bedroom
apartment, the amount a person needs to earn to afford a 1-
bedroom apartment at average rent.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Federal minimum wage should, as a minimum, be
adjusted every 4 years so that a person working for such a wage
may earn an annual income that is not less than 25.5 percent
higher than the Federal poverty threshold for a family of 4, as
determined by the Bureau of the Census;
(2) the minimum wage should be set at a level high enough
to allow 2 full-time minimum wage workers to earn an income
above the national housing wage; and
(3) Congress, any of the several States, the District of
Columbia, any territory or possession of the United States, any
Indian tribe, or any local or municipal government of a State
may establish a higher minimum wage requirement than that
established in this Act.
SEC. 3. MINIMUM WAGE.
Section 6 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 206)
is amended--
(1) in subsection (a)(1)--
(A) by striking ``and'' at the end of subparagraph
(B);
(B) by inserting ``and'' at the end of subparagraph
(C); and
(C) by inserting at the end the following:
``(D) the amount determined by the Secretary under
subsection (b), beginning September 1, 2023;''; and
(2) by redesignating subsection (b) as subsection (c) and
inserting after subsection (a) the following:
``(b)(1) Subject to paragraph (2), not later than June 1, 2023, and
once every 4 years thereafter, the Secretary shall determine the
minimum wage rate applicable under subsection (a)(1) based on the
formula described in paragraph (3). The Secretary shall publish such
wage rate in the Federal Register not later than October 1 of each
year.
``(2) If the minimum wage rate determined by the Secretary under
paragraph (1) would result in a lower minimum wage rate than the

H. R. 1222
To award a Congressional Gold Medal collectively to the Buffalo Soldier
regiments, authorized by Congress in 1866 to serve in the United States
Armed Forces, in recognition of their superior, dedicated, and vital
service to our Nation.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 27, 2023
Ms. Strickland (for herself and Mr. Kim of New Jersey) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Financial
Services, and in addition to the Committee on House Administration, 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 award a Congressional Gold Medal collectively to the Buffalo Soldier
regiments, authorized by Congress in 1866 to serve in the United States
Armed Forces, in recognition of their superior, dedicated, and vital
service to our Nation.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Buffalo Soldiers Congressional Gold
Medal Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) In 1866, Congress passed the Army Organization Act
which authorized the creation of six all-Black cavalry and
infantry regiments. These regiments remained active until the
Army was desegregated in 1951.
(2) According to legend, American Indians called the Black
cavalry troops ``Buffalo Soldiers'' because of their dark,
curly hair, which resembled a buffalo's coat.
(3) The African-American troops accepted the name with
pride and honor, as they were aware of the buffalo's fierce
bravery and fighting spirit.
(4) The original six regiments melded into the following
four regiments:
(A) The 9th Cavalry Regiment assembled in New
Orleans, Louisiana, in August and September of 1866.
They were ordered to San Antonio, Texas, in April 1867,
with the mission to maintain order and to secure the
road from San Antonio to El Paso.
(B) The 10th Cavalry Regiment gathered in Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, during the summer of 1867. In
August 1867, they were ordered to Fort Riley, Kansas,
with the mission of protecting the Pacific Railroad.
(C) The 24th Infantry Regiment was organized in
1869, forming from the 38th and 41st Colored Infantry
Regiments. They served throughout the Western United
States, with the mission to protect frontier posts and
secure roadways.
(D) The 25th Infantry Regiment assembled at Camp
William Penn, Pennsylvania, beginning in January 1864.
They were assigned to numerous districts within the
Department of the Gulf with the mission to maintain
security.
(5) Buffalo Soldiers also assisted in the protection of
National Parks. They helped fight wildfires and poachers in the
Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks and served as park rangers
in the Sierra Nevada.
(6) In the Spanish-American War, all four regiments played
key roles and fought with distinction, despite facing severe
discrimination from the locals.
(7) At the start of World War I, the Buffalo Soldier
regiments were dispatched to locations throughout central
United States and into the Pacific, offering logistics and
support behind the front lines in the American Expeditionary
Forces.
(8) During World War II, African-American soldiers and
units continued to serve proudly under the name ``Buffalo
Soldier'', including the 92nd Infantry Division, which was the
only Black division that saw combat in Europe.
(9) In the Korean War, Buffalo Soldier regiments fought
throughout the Korean peninsula, from the defense of the
``Pusan Perimeter'' to the counteroffensives which resulted in
the end of armed hostilities and the creation of the
Demilitarized Zone.
(10) Buffalo Soldiers had the lowest military desertion and
court-martial rates of their time. In recognition of combat
valor and their actions beyond the call of duty, many were
awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
(11) The Congressional Gold Medal would be an appropriate
way to shed further light on the service of the Buffalo
Soldiers and the instrumental role they played in instilling an
approach to inclusivity within our military and the American
way of life.
SEC. 3. CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL.
(a) Award Authorized.--The Speaker of the House of Representatives
and the President pro tempore of the Senate shall make appropriate
arrangements for the award, on behalf of Congress, of a single gold
medal of appropriate design to the Buffalo Soldier regiments,
authorized by Congress in 1866 to serve in the United States Armed
Forces, in recognition of their superior, dedicated, and vital service
to our Nation.
(b) Design and Striking.--For the purposes of the award described
in subsection (a), the Secretary of the Treasury (in this Act referred
to as the ``Secretary'') shall strike a gold medal with suitable
emblems, devices, and inscriptions, to be determined by the Secretary.
(c) Smithsonian Institution.--
(1) In general.--Following the award of the gold medal
under subsection (a), the gold medal shall be given to the
National Museum of African American History and Culture of the
Smithsonian Institution, where it shall be displayed as
appropriate and made available for research.
(2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the Smithsonian Institution should make the gold medal received
under paragraph (1) available for display elsewhere,
particularly at other locations and events associated with the
Buffalo Soldiers.
SEC. 4. DUPLICATE MEDALS.
The Secretary may strike and sell duplicates in bronze of the gold
medal struck pursuant to section 3, at a price sufficient to cover the
cost thereof, including labor, materials, dies, use of machinery, and
overhead expenses.
SEC. 5. STATUS OF MEDALS.
(a) National Medals.--The medals struck under this Act are national
medals for purposes of chapter 51 of title 31, United States Code.
(b) Numismatic Items.--For purposes of sections 5134 and 5136 of
title 31, United States Code, all medals struck under this Act shall be
considered to be numismatic items.
SEC. 6. AUTHORITY TO USE FUND AMOUNTS; PROCEEDS OF SALE.
(a) Authority To Use Fund Amounts.--There is authorized to be
charged against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund such
amounts as may be necessary to pay for the costs of the medals struck
under this Act.
(b) Proceeds of Sale.--Amounts received from the sale of duplicate
bronze medals authorized under section 4 shall be deposited into the
United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.

Committee on Armed Services
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To prohibit the United States Armed Forces from promoting anti-American
and racist theories.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Combating Racist Training in the
Military Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The founding principles of the United States include
the belief, enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, that
``all men are created equal'' and ``are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable Rights''.
(2) The United States commitment to the equal dignity and
natural rights of all mankind is the strongest possible defense
against racism and oppression of all kinds.
(3) The mission of the United States Armed Forces is to
``support and defend the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and domestic'' and ``bear true
faith and allegiance to the same''.
(4) To carry out this mission, the Armed Forces must train
leaders who love the United States, its citizens, and the
aforementioned founding principles.
(5) Anti-American and racist theories, such as ``Critical
Race Theory'', teach that the United States is a fundamentally
racist Nation, that the Constitution is a fundamentally racist
document, and that certain races are fundamentally oppressive
or oppressed.
(6) Such theories encourage people to judge and treat
others differently on the basis of their race, rather than
treating them as equal citizens and human beings with equal
dignity and protection under the law.
(7) Anti-American and racist theories, such as Critical
Race Theory, teach students to distrust and even hate their
country and fellow citizens.
(8) The United States Armed Forces should not promote or
otherwise encourage anti-American and racist theories that
demoralize and divide its members while undermining its mission
to ``bear truth faith and allegiance'' to the Constitution.

(1) Any race is inherently superior or inferior to any
other race.
(2) The United States of America is a fundamentally racist
country.
(3) The Declaration of Independence or the United States
Constitution are fundamentally racist documents.
(4) An individual's moral character or worth is determined
by his or her race.
(5) An individual, by virtue of his or her race, is
inherently racist or oppressive, whether consciously or
unconsciously.
(6) An individual, because of his or her race, bears
responsibility for the actions committed by other members of
his or her race.
(b) Promote Defined.--In this section, the term ``promote'' means
the following:
(1) Including theories described under subsection (a) or
materials that advocate such theories in curricula, reading
lists, seminars, workshops, trainings, or other educational or
professional settings in a manner that could reasonably give
rise to the appearance of official sponsorship, approval, or
endorsement.
(2) Contracting with, hiring, or otherwise engaging
speakers, consultants, diversity trainers, and other persons
for the purpose of advocating theories described under
subsection (a).
(3) Compelling members of the Armed Forces to affirm or
profess belief in theories described under subsection (a).
(4) Segregating members of the Armed Forces or other
individuals by race in any setting, including educational and
training sessions.
(c) Rules of Construction.--
(1) Protected speech not restricted.--Nothing in this
section shall be construed to restrict the protected speech of
members of the Armed Forces or any individual.
(2) Access to materials for the purpose of research or
independent study.--Nothing in this section shall be construed
to prevent individuals from accessing materials that advocate
theories described under subsection (a) for the purpose of
research or independent study.
(3) Contextual education.--Nothing in this section shall be
construed to prevent the United States Armed Forces and
academic institutions operated or controlled by the Department
of Defense from stating theories described under subsection (a)

A BILL
To authorize a pilot program under section 258 of the National Housing
Act to establish an automated process for providing additional credit
rating information for mortgagors and prospective mortgagors under
certain mortgages.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Alternative Data for Additional
Credit FHA Pilot Program Reauthorization Act''.
SEC. 2. PILOT PROGRAM FOR BORROWERS WITHOUT SUFFICIENT CREDIT HISTORY.
Section 258 of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1715z-24) is

``establish and carry out'';
(B) by striking ``establish, and'';
(C) by inserting ``who elect to participate in the
pilot program'' before the second comma;
(D) by striking ``mortgagors and'';
(E) by inserting after ``their creditworthiness''
the following: ``and have opted into the use of
additional credit information''; and
(F) by striking ``alternative'' each place such
term appears and inserting ``additional'';
(2) in subsection (b), by adding after the period at the
end the following: ``The pilot program may not be carried out
with respect to any mortgagor or prospective mortgagor under a
mortgage the proceeds of which are used to prepay or pay off an
existing loan secured by the same property.'';
(3) by striking subsection (c);
(4) by redesignating subsections (b) (as amended by
paragraph (2) of this subsection) and (d) as subsections (c)
and (k), respectively;
(5) by inserting after subsection (a) the following new
subsection:
``(b) Goal.--The goal of the pilot program under this section shall
be to examine and evaluate the benefits of using such a credit scoring
model that uses additional data.'';
(6) by inserting after subsection (c) (as so redesignated
by paragraph (4) of this subsection) the following:
``(d) Additional Credit Information.--The Secretary shall, after
consultation with the Government National Mortgage Association and not
later than one year after the date of the enactment of this subsection,
select one or more commercially available credit scoring models that
will be available under the pilot and that utilize additional data, as
the Secretary considers appropriate based on the goals of the pilot
program. In selecting the model or models to use, the Secretary shall
consider the criteria under part 1254 of the regulations of the
Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (12 C.F.R. Part 1254) to
the extent appropriate.
``(e) Notification.--
``(1) Notice of options.--The Secretary shall develop a
notice for prospective mortgagors, and require mortgagees to
provide such notice to prospective mortgagors, that informs
prospective mortgagors of--
``(A) the ability to opt into the use of the credit
scoring model selected for use under the pilot program;
``(B) information on how the pilot program credit
scoring model differs from the FHA's current credit
scoring models, including the types of additional data
that are included in the pilot program model; and
``(C) housing counseling agencies in the area that
are approved by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
``(2) Comparison of lending options.--The Secretary shall
require mortgagees participating in the pilot program to
provide information to prospective mortgagors sufficient to
allow comparison of the mortgagor's lending options using the
credit scoring model under the pilot program and using the
credit scoring model then in effect for mortgagors not opting
into the use of the credit scoring model under the pilot
program.
``(f) Underwriting Options.--This section may not be construed to
preclude a prospective mortgagor who opts to use an approved credit
scoring model under the pilot program under this subsection in
connection with underwriting for a mortgage insured under this title
from thereafter obtaining a determination of creditworthiness involved
in underwriting for such mortgage using information other than that
provided under such approved credit scoring model.
``(g) Protection of Proprietary Information.--This section may not
be construed to require the disclosure or sharing of any proprietary
information.
``(h) Reporting.--
``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall submit reports to

to opt into using additional credit information and the
number of mortgagors who opted into using additional
credit information;
``(B) the total number and percent of mortgagors
who opted into the pilot and were subsequently approved
for a mortgage;
``(C) demographic information about mortgagors who
opt into using additional credit information, compared
to demographic information about mortgagors generally,
which shall include race, ethnicity, marital status,
sex or gender, geographic location regarding mortgaged
properties, and any other information the Secretary
deems appropriate;
``(D) whether or not mortgagors with no or thin
credit files benefitted from having this option and
how;
``(E) whether or not other borrowers who did not
have thin or no credit files benefitted from this
option and how;
``(F) the effectiveness of the additional credit
information in predicting mortgage loan default;
``(G) the rate of participation of mortgagees in
the pilot program;
``(H) whether or not the pilot program had an
impact on the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund, in
general, and specifically whether it had an impact on
the economic net worth ratio of the Fund;
``(I) whether or not there was sufficient income
from the pilot program to offset the risk posed to such
Fund by the pilot program;
``(J) whether the pilot program had an impact on
the ability of other borrowers not participating in the
program to obtain the products and services of the FHA;
and
``(K) any other information the Secretary
determines relevant.
``(2) Submission.--The Secretary shall submit a report
described in paragraph (1)--
``(A) not later than 6 months after the conclusion
of the 2-year period beginning on the date on which the
Secretary begins accepting the additional credit scores
through the pilot program established by the Secretary
pursuant to this section; and
``(B) not later than 1 year after the conclusion of
the 5-year period beginning on the date of the
enactment of the Alternative Data for Additional Credit
FHA Pilot Program Reauthorization Act.
``(3) Report on selection of additional credit model.--Not
later than the conclusion of the 6-month period that begins
upon the conclusion of the 1-year period under subsection (d),

why the additional credit scoring model or models selected
pursuant to subsection (d) were selected in lieu of other
commercially available credit scoring models.
``(4) Public availability of information.--The Secretary

for carrying out the pilot program under this section.''; and
(7) in subsection (k), as so redesignated by paragraph (4),
by striking ``5-year period beginning on the date of the
enactment of the Building American Homeownership Act of 2008''
and inserting ``5-year period beginning on the date of the
enactment of the Alternative Data for Additional Credit FHA
Pilot Program Reauthorization Act''.

``(B) Limitation of liability.--In the case of an
interactive computer service provider that complies

preventing dissemination of material subject to the
order.''; and
(2) in subsection (e), by adding at the end the following:
``(6) No effect on civil rights laws.--Nothing in this

physical or mental disability brought under Federal or State
law.
``(9) No effect on international human rights law.--Nothing
in this section shall be construed to prevent, impair, or limit
any action brought under section 1350 of title 28, United

To conduct a special resource study of Fort Pillow Historic State Park
in Henning, Tennessee, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 28, 2023
Mr. Cohen (for himself, Mr. Cartwright, Mr. Jackson of Illinois, Ms.
Kelly of Illinois, Ms. Norton, and Mr. Raskin) introduced the following
bill; which was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To conduct a special resource study of Fort Pillow Historic State Park
in Henning, Tennessee, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as ``Fort Pillow National Battlefield Park
Study Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds as follows:
(1) Fort Pillow was originally built by Confederate troops
in 1861 and named after General Gideon J. Pillow of Maury
County, Tennessee.
(2) The battle of Fort Pillow was fought on April 12, 1864,
at Fort Pillow in Henning, Tennessee, during the American Civil
War.
(3) At Fort Pillow, Tennessee, Confederate forces never
defeated the Union Navy. Instead, they perpetrated a heinous
massacre after violating a flag of truce by advantageously
repositioning rebel troops and by looting government buildings
and private storefronts surrounding the fort.
(4) According to the 1864 Report ``Fort Pillow Massacre''
from the United States Congress Joint Committee on the Conduct
of the War, ``The officers and men seem to vie with each other
in the devilish work; men, women and even children, wherever
found, were deliberately shot down, beaten and hacked with
sabers. . . .''.
(5) The Union garrison consisted of 19 officers and 538
troops of whom 262 were United States Colored Troops
(U.S.C.T.).
(6) Per the report, ``Of the men, from three hundred to
four hundred are known to have been killed at Fort Pillow, of
whom at least three hundred were murdered in cold blood after
the fort was in possession of the rebels and our men had thrown
down their arms and ceased to offer resistance.''.
(7) The massacre at Fort Pillow demonstrated to all
U.S.C.T. that surrender was not an option. The massacre at Fort
Pillow became a rallying cry and motivation for the 209,147
U.S.C.T.
(8) The 209,147 U.S.C.T. fundamentally contributed to the
Union's defeat of the Confederacy.
(9) In 1971, Fort Pillow became a State park.
(10) In 1973, Fort Pillow was added to the National
Register of Historic Places.
(11) The following year, in 1974, Fort Pillow was
designated as a National Historic Landmark.
(12) Fort Pillow Historic State Park consists of 1,642
acres.
(13) The Park contains several attraction areas such as a
Civil War museum, hiking trail, camping ground, and picnic
area.
(14) This site deserves to become a National Battlefield
Park due to its profound effect on U.S.C.T. and all Union
forces in their fight to preserve the United States of America.
SEC. 3. FORT PILLOW SPECIAL RESOURCE STUDY.
The Secretary of the Interior shall conduct a special resource
study of Fort Pillow Historic State Park in Henning, Tennessee. Fort
Pillow is a State park that features the American Civil War history and
the Massacre at Fort Pillow. The Secretary shall--
(1) evaluate the site's national significance; and
(2) determine the suitability and feasibility of
designating it as a unit of the National Historic Park System.

Mr. Connolly introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Oversight and Accountability
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 5, United States Code, to provide for pay equality and
the more accurate computation of retirement benefits for certain
firefighters employed by the Federal Government, and for other
purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; PURPOSES.
(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Federal
Firefighter Pay Equity Act''.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to improve pay equality between Federal firefighters,
other Federal employees, and municipal and other public sector
firefighters;
(2) to enhance recruitment and retention of firefighters in
order to maintain the highest quality of Federal fire service;
(3) to include the pay of all regularly reoccurring
scheduled hours during the firefighter workweek when computing
such retirement benefits of firefighters; and
(4) to establish the regular workweek for Federal
firefighters.
SEC. 2. COMPUTATION OF PAY.
Section 5545b(c)(1)(B) of title 5, United States Code, is amended
by striking ``2756'' and inserting ``2087''.
SEC. 3. COMPUTATION OF ANNUITY BASED ON CERTAIN FIREFIGHTER SERVICE.
(a) In General.--Section 5545b of title 5, United States Code, as
amended by section 2, is further amended by adding at the end the
following:
``(e) For purposes of any determination of `average pay' under
section 8331(4) or 8401(3), in the case of a firefighter who is subject
to subsection (b), the rate of basic pay in effect for such firefighter
for a year of creditable service (or, in the case of an annuity under
subsection (d) or (e)(1) of section 8341 or under chapter 84 based on
less than 3 years of creditable service, for any other period of
creditable service) shall, in addition to the amount determined under
subsection (b) for such year (or other period), include an amount equal
to one-half the firefighter's basic hourly rate (as computed under
subsection (b)(1)(A)) for such year (or other period) times the number
of overtime hours included as part of such firefighter's regular tour
of duty during such year (or other period).''.
(b) Conforming Amendments.--Sections 8331(4) and 8401(3) of title
5, United States Code, are amended by striking the semicolon at the end
and inserting ``, subject to section 5545b(e);''.
SEC. 4. ESTABLISHMENT OF A MAXIMUM HOURS OF FEDERAL FIREFIGHTERS'
REGULAR WORKWEEK.
Section 5545b of title 5, United States Code, as amended by section
3, is further amended by adding at the end the following:
``(f) Not later than one year after the date of enactment of the
Federal Firefighter Pay Equity Act, the Office of Personnel Management
shall prescribe regulations establishing the maximum number of
regularly reoccurring hours which comprise a workweek for a firefighter
covered by this section. The maximum number of such hours shall not
exceed an average of 60 hours per week.''.
SEC. 5. EFFECTIVE DATE.
The amendments made by this Act shall apply with respect to any
annuity entitlement to which is based on a separation from service

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 1237
To award a Congressional Gold Medal to Sarah Keys Evans, and for other
purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 28, 2023
Mr. Davis of North Carolina (for himself, Ms. Ross, Mr. Nickel, Mr.
Johnson of Georgia, Mr. Payne, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Carson, Ms. Norton, and
Ms. Tlaib) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Financial Services
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To award a Congressional Gold Medal to Sarah Keys Evans, and for other
purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Sarah Keys Evans Congressional Gold
Medal Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Sarah Keys Evans was born on April 18, 1929, in
Washington, North Carolina, in a town called Keysville, the
second oldest of seven children.
(2) Sarah Keys, an Army veteran and civil rights pioneer,
is a living example that change is possible if we are willing
to stand up and fight for what is right.
(3) Before the 1955 arrest of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery
bus boycott that followed, there was Sarah Keys Evans. Her
refusal to give up her seat on an interstate charter bus
prompted the landmark court case, Sarah Keys v. Carolina Coach
Company, in which the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC)
outlawed the segregation of Black passengers in buses traveling
across State lines.
(4) On August 1, 1952, Women's Army Corps, Private First
Class Sarah Keys, boarded a bus in Trenton, New Jersey, for her
first home visit to Washington, North Carolina, since joining
the military. The bus she boarded would take her directly to
her North Carolina destination without any required bus
changes.
(5) Once the bus reached Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, a
new driver took over the bus and as was custom, went through
the bus and rechecked tickets. When he came to Ms. Keys, he
told her to give up her seat to a White Marine who boarded the
bus in Roanoke Rapids and move to the back of the bus. Tired
from her long journey and understanding her rights, Sarah
refused.
(6) Six years prior, in 1946, there was a Supreme Court
decision (Morgan v. Virginia) that said it was illegal to
practice passenger segregation on interstate buses, but local
jurisdictions found ways to circumvent Federal laws.
(7) Frustrated with her persistence, the bus driver
announced that all passengers would be moving to a different
bus, but ``that woman'' who refused to change her seat,
referring to Ms. Keys, would not be allowed to board the new
bus and would not be allowed to continue the trip.
(8) Shortly thereafter, two police officers arrived at the
bus terminal, took Sarah by the arms into a patrol car and
drove her to the Roanoke Rapids police station. Because she
refused to be subjected to unjust discrimination and prejudice,
she was forced to stay in jail overnight and was fined $25.00
before her release.
(9) Once Sarah arrived home and informed her family of the
injustice she endured, her father encouraged her to seek legal
action.
(10) The National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People (NAACP) referred the family to attorney Dovey
Johnson Roundtree, a Captain in the Women's Army Corps, who
brought her case before the ICC. The ICC meeting in the
District of Columbia took place on May 12, 1954. It was decided
by only one member of the ICC.
(11) New York Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., agreed
it was not fair that the other 10 members of the ICC were not
involved in the decision. Congressman Powell helped persuade
the ICC to reconsider its decision.
(12) After the Supreme Court decision on Brown v. Board of
Education on May 17, 1954, and with the support of Department
of Justice Attorney General Herbert Brownell, the ICC reached a
new decision. A majority of the ICC members had decided that it
was wrong for people on State-to-State trips to be forced to
sit in certain seats on a bus because of the color of their
skin and that it was against the law.
(13) The ICC decision on November 25, 1955, went further
than the Supreme Court's ruling in 1946 which had outlawed only
unfair laws that a State might make, not rules that a bus
company might make.
(14) In Sarah Keys v. Carolina Coach Company, the ICC ruled
in favor of Keys Evans. In their decision, the Commission found
the Interstate Commerce Act forbids segregation as the practice
subjects passengers to ``unjust discrimination, and undue and
unreasonable prejudice and disadvantage, in violation of
section 216(d) of the Interstate Commerce Act and is therefore
unlawful''.
SEC. 3. CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL.
(a) Presentation Authorized.--The Speaker of the House of
Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate shall make
appropriate arrangements for the presentation, on behalf of the
Congress, of a gold medal of appropriate design to Mrs. Sarah Keys
Evans, in recognition of her achievements.
(b) Design and Striking.--For purposes of the presentation under
subsection (a), the Secretary of the Treasury (referred to in this Act
as the ``Secretary'') shall strike a gold medal with suitable emblems,
devices, and inscriptions, to be determined by the Secretary.
SEC. 4. DUPLICATE MEDALS.
(a) Striking of Duplicates.--Under such regulations as the
Secretary may prescribe, the Secretary may strike duplicates in bronze
of the gold medal struck under section 3.
(b) Selling of Duplicates.--The Secretary may sell such duplicates
under subsection (a) at a price sufficient to cover the costs of such
duplicates, including labor, materials, dies, use of machinery, and
overhead expenses.
SEC. 5. STATUS OF MEDALS.
(a) National Medals.--Medals struck under this Act are national
medals for purposes of chapter 51 of title 31, United States Code.
(b) Numismatic Items.--For purposes of section 5134 of title 31,
United States Code, all medals struck under this Act shall be
considered to be numismatic items.

1st Session
H. R. 1239
To designate the area between the intersections of 16th Street
Northwest and Fuller Street Northwest and 16th Street Northwest and
Euclid Street Northwest in Washington, District of Columbia, as
``Oswaldo Paya Way''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 28, 2023
Mr. Diaz-Balart (for himself, Ms. Wasserman Schultz, Mr. Gimenez, Ms.
Salazar, and Ms. Malliotakis) introduced the following bill; which was
referred to the Committee on Oversight and Accountability
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To designate the area between the intersections of 16th Street
Northwest and Fuller Street Northwest and 16th Street Northwest and
Euclid Street Northwest in Washington, District of Columbia, as
``Oswaldo Paya Way''.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) the revolution led by Fidel Castro in Cuba in 1959
started 64 years of an ongoing dictatorship, systemic human
rights abuses, and a lack of basic freedom of press, religion,
assembly, and association that continue to this day under the
Communist rule of Raul Castro and his successor, Miguel Diaz-
Canel;
(2) Oswaldo Paya Sardinas was a Cuban political dissident
and activist dedicated to promoting democratic freedoms and
human rights in Cuba;
(3) the Communist Party of Cuba has always viewed
individuals with a commitment to democracy and freedom as a
threat to the existence of the Communist Party of Cuba;
(4) on July 22, 2012, a violent car crash, widely believed
to have been carried out by the Castro regime, took the lives
of Oswaldo Paya and Harold Cepero, another democratic activist;
(5) Cuba's official investigation into the crash has been
demonstrated to be compromised, and the Cuban regime has
blocked all efforts to conduct a credible and independent
investigation into the crash, leaving the circumstances of the
death of Oswaldo Paya unknown;
(6) opposition by Oswaldo Paya to the Communist Party of
Cuba began at a young age, when he refused to become a member
of the Young Communist League as a primary school student, and
continued through high school, when he publicly criticized the
invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union;
(7) the Communist Party of Cuba responded to the opposition
by Oswaldo Paya to the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet
Union by sending Oswaldo Paya to a labor camp for 3 years;
(8) Oswaldo Paya forewent a chance to escape Cuba in the
1980 Mariel boatlift, deciding instead to continue the fight
for democracy in Cuba, saying, ``This is what I am supposed to
be, this is what I have to do.'';
(9) by creating the Varela Project in 1998, Oswaldo Paya
demonstrated his staunch commitment to peacefully advocating
for freedom of speech and freedom of assembly for his fellow
Cubans;
(10) in recognition of his determination for political
reforms through peaceful protests, Oswaldo Paya was awarded the
Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought by the European
Parliament in 2002 and the W. Averell Harriman Democracy Award
from the National Democratic Institute for International
Affairs in 2003 and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by
former Czech President Va1clav Havel in 2005;
(11) on April 11, 2018, the Senate unanimously passed S.
Res. 224, recognizing the sixth anniversary of the death of
Oswaldo Paya Sardinas, commemorating his legacy and commitment
to democratic values and principles, and calling on the Cuban
Government to allow an impartial, third-party investigation
into the circumstances surrounding his death; and
(12) renaming the street in front of the Embassy of Cuba in
the District of Columbia after Oswaldo Paya serves as an
expression of solidarity between the people of the United
States and the people of Cuba, who are engaged in a long,
nonviolent struggle for fundamental human rights.
SEC. 2. DESIGNATION OF OSWALDO PAYA WAY.
(a) Designation of Way.--
(1) In general.--The area between the intersections of 16th
Street Northwest and Fuller Street Northwest and 16th Street
Northwest and Euclid Street Northwest in Washington, District
of Columbia, shall be known and designated as ``Oswaldo Paya
Way''.
(2) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation,
document, paper, or other record of the United States to the
area referred to in paragraph (1) shall be deemed to be a
reference to Oswaldo Paya Way.
(b) Designation of Address.--
(1) Designation.--The address of 2630 16th Street
Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia, shall be
redesignated as 2630 Oswaldo Paya Way.
(2) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation,
document, paper, or other record of the United States to the
address referred to in paragraph (1) shall be deemed to be a
reference to 2630 Oswaldo Paya Way.
(c) Signs.--The District of Columbia shall construct 2 street signs
that shall--
(1) contain the phrase ``Oswaldo Paya Way'';
(2) be placed immediately above existing signs at the
intersections of 16th Street Northwest and Fuller Street

in Washington, District of Columbia; and

of Columbia to designate the location of Metro stations.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To direct the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and

encouraging the deployment of broadband infrastructure by local
governments.
(5) The establishment of a competitive grant program to
provide resources to, and incentives for, local governments to

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To posthumously award a historic Congressional Gold Medal,
collectively, to Africans and their descendants enslaved within our
country from August 20, 1619, to December 6, 1865.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``The original legislation awarding a
historic Congressional Gold Medal, collectively, to Africans and their
descendants enslaved within our country from August 20, 1619, to
December 6, 1865''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Human beings were systematically abducted from the
continent of Africa and placed against their will onto ships
that would cross the Atlantic Ocean.
(2) These persons were chained within the holds of ships in
horrendous conditions for the duration of the transatlantic
journey, which lasted up to six months.
(3) Upon arrival in North America, they were forced into
labor among the English and European colonies that would later
become the United States.
(4) Their enslavement was concentrated on farms and
plantations that produced crops such as cotton, tobacco, and
sugar cane.
(5) The practice of slavery continued up to and past the
eventual American Revolution against England and the founding
of the United States of America.
(6) In the ensuing decades, slavery persisted primarily in
States where the economy was based significantly on farming.
(7) The treatment of enslaved people continued to be
horrendous in nature, including exploitation, family
separation, rape, torture, and degradation, among other
cruelties.
(8) Slave labor was essential to the functioning of many
farms and plantations and therefore was essential to the growth
of the United States economy as a whole.
(9) Slave labor was used to build notable buildings and
monuments in the United States, including the United States
Capitol Building, the White House, the Washington Monument,
Mount Vernon, which was the home of George Washington, and
Monticello, which was the home of Thomas Jefferson.
(10) The profits from and involvement of slave labor were
also essential to the construction of the Smithsonian
Institution, Wall Street, Harvard University, Georgetown
University, and Fort Sumter.
(11) It has been estimated that the total economic value of
slave labor is between $5.9 trillion and $14.2 trillion in 2009
dollars.
(12) The United States became increasingly divided between
slaveholding and non-slaveholding States and territories,
including as to whether slavery should be expanded to new
States and territories or abolished altogether.
(13) The secession of States from the United States began
on December 20, 1860, and led to the formation of the
Confederate States of America on February 4, 1861.
(14) The American Civil War began on April 12, 1861, with
the attack on Fort Sumter by Confederate forces.
(15) On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued
the Emancipation Proclamation declaring that ``all persons held
as slaves'' in Confederate States ``henceforward shall be
free''.
(16) After four years of grueling battle and conflict, the
Civil War concluded with the surrender of the commander of the
Confederate forces on April 9, 1865, although fighting
continued until November 6, 1865, and the Civil War was
proclaimed to be over by President Andrew Johnson on August 20,
1866.
(17) The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution
abolishing slavery passed the Congress on January 31, 1865, and
was ratified by the required number of States on December 6,
1865.
(18) The text of the 13th Amendment states that, ``Neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for
crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall
exist within the United States, or any place subject to their
jurisdiction.''.
(19) The use of slave labor over hundreds of years resulted
in immense suffering and deprivation among the people who fell
victim to these abhorrent practices.
(20) At the same time, the extensive, long-term use of
unpaid labor advantaged the United States economy immeasurably.
SEC. 3. CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL.
(a) Award Authorized.--The Speaker of the House of Representatives
and the President pro tempore of the Senate shall make appropriate
arrangements for the award, on behalf of the Congress, of a gold medal
of appropriate design dedicated to the enslaved persons collectively in
recognition of their service as the greatest contributors to the
foundation of America's economic greatness.
(b) Design and Striking.--For the purposes of the award referred to
in subsection (a), the Secretary of the Treasury shall strike the gold
medal with suitable emblems, devices, and inscriptions, to be
determined by the Secretary.
(c) Smithsonian Institution.--Following the award of the gold medal
described in subsection (a), the gold medal shall be given to the
Smithsonian Institution, where it will be displayed at the National
Museum of African American History & Culture and made available for
research.
SEC. 4. DUPLICATE MEDALS.
(a) In General.--The Secretary may strike and sell duplicates in
bronze of the gold medal struck under section 3, at a price sufficient
to cover the costs of the bronze medals, including labor, materials,
dies, use of machinery, and overhead expenses.
(b) Proceeds of Sales.--The amounts received from the sale of
duplicate medals under subsection (a) shall be deposited in the United
States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.
(c) Authority To Use Fund Amounts.--There is authorized to be
charged against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund such
amounts as may be necessary to pay for the costs of the medals struck
under this Act.
SEC. 5. STATUS OF MEDALS.
The gold medal struck pursuant to this Act is a national medal for
purposes of chapter 51 of title 31, United States Code.
SEC. 6. DETERMINATION OF BUDGETARY EFFECTS.
The budgetary effects of this Act, for the purpose of complying
with the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, shall be determined by
reference to the latest statement titled ``Budgetary Effects of PAYGO
Legislation'' for this Act, submitted for printing in the Congressional
Record by the Chairman of the House Budget Committee, provided that
such statement has been submitted prior to the vote on passage.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To award a Congressional Gold Medal to the Freedom Riders,
collectively, in recognition of their unique contribution to Civil
Rights, which inspired a revolutionary movement for equality in
interstate travel.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) In 1960, the Supreme Court ruled in Boynton v. Virginia
that segregated bus and rail stations were unconstitutional.
(2) The rigid system of racial segregation that prevailed
in the United States during the 1960s did not permit a Black
person to sit next to a White person on any bus traveling
through interstate commerce and in most locations in the South.
Bus stations had ``Whites Only'' waiting areas and Blacks were
not permitted to wait in those areas despite the Supreme Court
making it the law of the land.
(3) The Freedom Riders, with the intent to end segregation
in public transportation throughout the South, paved the way
for full racial integration of the United States transit
system. They overcame prejudice, discrimination, and violence.
They sparked a movement that changed our Nation.
(4) The Congress of Racial Equality (C.O.R.E.) selected
thirteen volunteers for nonviolent response training to join in
the Freedom Rides from Washington, DC, to New Orleans, LA. The
Freedom Riders used their strategies of nonviolence throughout
the South to challenge the region's Jim Crow laws directly and
enforce the Supreme Court decision in Boynton.
(5) On the morning of May 4, 1961, the Freedom Riders,
comprised of seven Blacks and six Whites, boarded two buses,
with Blacks and Whites seated together. Those thirteen Freedom
Riders were: Genevieve Hughes Houghton, Charles Person, Hank
Thomas, John Lewis, Edward Blankenheim, James Farmer, Walter
Bergman, Frances Bergman, Joseph Perkins, Jimmy McDonald, Mae
Francis Moultrie, Benjamin Elton Cox, and Albert Bigelow. Most
segregated States considered even this level of integration a
crime. At various stops along the way, the Freedom Riders would
enter areas designated ``Whites'' and ``Colored'' and would eat
together at segregated lunch counters to defy local laws.
(6) Initially, the Freedom Riders had encountered only
minor clashes until a stop in South Carolina. In Rock Hill, an
angry mob severely beat John Lewis, late Congressman from the
5th District of Georgia, when he entered the bus station. Henry
``Hank'' Thomas was jailed when he entered the bus station in
Winnsboro. Authorities delivered him to a waiting mob long
after the station had closed that evening. A local Black
minister rescued Thomas, enabling him to rejoin the group in
Columbia. However, Lewis was so badly beaten he could not
continue the Freedom Rides.
(7) Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and other civil rights
leaders met with the group in Atlanta to dissuade their
continuance through the Deep South due to death threats.
Despite these warnings, more Freedom Riders joined in Atlanta.
Dedicated to their mission to end segregation in the South and
trained in nonviolent movements, the Freedom Riders continued
on their journey.
(8) On Mother's Day, May 14, 1961, the Freedom Riders were
on two different buses. An angry mob in Anniston, Alabama,
firebombed the first bus. When the Freedom Riders rushed out,
still choking from the thick smoke of the burning bus, the
waiting angry mob beat them with lead pipes and baseball bats
as the bus exploded. Ambulances refused to transport the Black
Freedom Riders to the hospital. The mob beat the Freedom Riders
on the second bus and forced them to sit in the back. As they
journeyed to Birmingham, another mob savagely beat the Freedom
Riders.
(9) The Nashville (TN) Student Group, a local group of
students who had been successful in desegregating the lunch
counters and movie theaters in Nashville (TN), vowed not to let
these acts of violence curtail the goal of the Freedom Rides.
They sent their members to continue the Freedom Rides and
called out to other student groups to do the same.
(10) As the violence grew, the Attorney General of the
United States called in the National Guard and the U.S.
Marshals to protect the Freedom Riders as they journeyed
through Alabama. This protection was short lived. The Federal
authorities turned the Freedom Riders over to the local
authorities in Mississippi who then arrested the Freedom Riders
for disturbing the peace.
(11) The Government of Mississippi imprisoned many of the
Freedom Riders in Parchman Prison known for its horrific
conditions, such as subjecting the Freedom Riders to strip
searches, work on chain gangs, and light shining in their cells
24 hours a day. Despite these conditions, the Freedom Riders
refused bail because they were determined to spread the message
of their nonviolent movement.
(12) Five months after the first Freedom Riders left on
their historic ride, the Interstate Commerce Commission in
conjunction with the U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy
issued a Federal order banning segregation at all interstate
public facilities based upon ``race, color or creed''. The law
became effective on November 1, 1961.
(13) In 2011, Barack Obama, the President of the United
States paid tribute to the Freedom Riders with a Presidential
proclamation honoring the 50th anniversary of the first Freedom
Ride by brave Americans whose selfless act of courage helped
pave the way for others to continue on the road to Civil Rights
in America.

Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate shall make

interstate travel.

States Code.

considered to be numismatic items.

charged against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund such
amounts as may be necessary to pay for the costs of the medals struck
under this Act.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 1249
To prohibit certain practices relating to certain commodity promotion
programs, to require greater transparency by those programs, and for
other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 28, 2023
Ms. Mace (for herself and Ms. Titus) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on Agriculture
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To prohibit certain practices relating to certain commodity promotion
programs, to require greater transparency by those programs, and for
other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Opportunities for Fairness in
Farming Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) the generic programs to promote and provide research
and information for an agricultural commodity (commonly known
as ``checkoff programs'') are intended to increase demand for
all of that agricultural commodity and benefit all assessed
producers of that agricultural commodity;
(2) although the laws establishing checkoff programs
broadly prohibit the use of funds in any manner for the purpose
of influencing legislation or government action, checkoff
programs have repeatedly been shown to use funds to influence
policy directly or by partnering with organizations that lobby;
(3) the unlawful use of checkoff programs funds benefits
some agricultural producers while harming many others;
(4) to more effectively prevent Boards from using funds for
unlawful purposes, strict separation of engagement between the
Boards and policy entities is necessary;
(5) conflicts of interest in the checkoff programs allow
special interests to use checkoff program funds for the benefit
of some assessed agricultural producers at the expense of many
others;
(6) prohibiting conflicts of interest in checkoff programs
is necessary to ensure the proper and lawful operation of the
checkoff programs;
(7) checkoff programs are designed to promote agricultural
commodities, not to damage other types of agricultural
commodities through anticompetitive conduct or otherwise;
(8) prohibiting anticompetitive and similar conduct is
necessary to ensure proper and lawful operation of checkoff
programs;
(9) lack of transparency in checkoff programs enables
abuses to occur and conceals abuses from being discovered; and
(10) requiring transparency in the expenditure of checkoff
program funds is necessary to prevent and uncover abuses in
checkoff programs.

H. R. 1251
To authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Doris Miller
posthumously for acts of valor while a member of the Navy during World
War II.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 28, 2023
Mr. Mfume (for himself, Ms. McCollum, Ms. Moore of Wisconsin, Mr.
Veasey, Mrs. Watson Coleman, Mr. Schiff, Ms. Norton, Ms. Lee of
California, Mr. David Scott of Georgia, Mr. Carson, Mr. Payne, Mr.
Thompson of Mississippi, Mr. Johnson of Georgia, Mr. Davis of Illinois,
Ms. Jackson Lee, Ms. Velazquez, Mr. Lynch, Ms. Titus, Ms. Brown, Mr.
McGovern, Mr. Thompson of California, and Mr. Connolly) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Doris Miller
posthumously for acts of valor while a member of the Navy during World
War II.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Doris Miller, like other African-American sailors of
his day, was generally relegated to service-based roles on
ships, as the Navy did not allow sailors of color to enlist in
combat roles.
(2) Doris Miller was acknowledged in the USS West Virginia
Action Report, individually, along with other brave personnel
for having ``carried out every order promptly and
enthusiastically, even when it meant danger to themselves. They
did not attempt to abandon the bridge until ordered to do so''.
(3) Doris Miller aided other service members and ``was
instrumental in hauling people along through oil and water to
the quarterdeck, thereby unquestionably saving the lives of a
number of people who might otherwise have been lost''.
(4) On December 15, 1941, the Navy released its
commendations for actions in Pearl Harbor which included one
``unnamed Negro''. It wasn't until March of 1942, at the behest
of the NAACP, that the Navy formally recognized Miller's
heroism.
(5) Doris Miller was recognized by the Navy and awarded the
Navy Cross Medal with the citation reading ``For distinguished
devotion to duty, extraordinary courage and disregard for his
own personal safety during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl
Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, by Japanese forces on December 7,
1941. While at the side of his Captain on the bridge, Miller,
despite enemy strafing and bombing and in the face of a serious
fire, assisted in moving his Captain, who had been mortally
wounded, to a place of greater safety, and later manned and
operated a machine gun directed at enemy Japanese attacking
aircraft until ordered to leave the bridge.''.
(6) On May 27, 1942, Admiral Chester Nimitz personally
pinned the Navy Cross to Miller's left breast pocket while on
board the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise.
(7) Doris Miller died in action on November 24, 1943, on
board the USS Liscome Bay in the Pacific Ocean after a single
Japanese torpedo sank the vessel off the coast of Butaritari
Island.
(8) Of the 15 sailors who were awarded the Medal of Honor
for similar actions taken during the attack on Pearl Harbor,
not one was African American.
(9) Doris Miller deserves the highest honor the United
States can bestow upon a member of the Armed Forces.
SEC. 2. AUTHORIZATION FOR POSTHUMOUS AWARD OF MEDAL OF HONOR TO DORIS
MILLER FOR ACTS OF VALOR WHILE A MEMBER OF THE NAVY
DURING WORLD WAR II.
Notwithstanding the time limitations specified in sections 8298(a)
and 8300 of title 10, United States Code, or any other time limitation
with respect to the awarding of certain medals to persons who served in
the Armed Forces, the President is authorized to award the Medal of
Honor posthumously, under section 8291 of such title, to Doris Miller
(service number 356-12-35) for acts of valor during World War II while
a member of the Navy.

H. R. 1252
To award posthumously a Congressional Gold Medal to Doris Miller, in

Navy during World War II.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 28, 2023
Mr. Mfume (for himself, Mr. Cardenas, Ms. Norton, Mr. Carson, Mr.
Johnson of Georgia, Mr. Davis of Illinois, Ms. Velazquez, Ms. Titus,
Ms. Blunt Rochester, and Mr. Connolly) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on Financial Services, and in
addition to the Committee on House Administration, 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 award posthumously a Congressional Gold Medal to Doris Miller, in
recognition of his acts of valor while a member of the United States
Navy during World War II.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Doris Miller Congressional Gold
Medal Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Doris Miller, like other African-American sailors of
his day, was generally relegated to service-based roles on
ships, as the Navy did not allow sailors of color to enlist in
combat roles.
(2) On December 7, 1941, Doris Miller was serving aboard
the USS West Virginia in Hawaii when Japanese torpedo bombers
attacked his ship and others at the Pearl Harbor Naval Base--
headquarters of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. During this infamous
attack, Doris Miller manned a gun magazine amidships. When a
torpedo damaged the magazine, Doris Miller helped carry the
wounded to safety, including his ship's commander, Captain
Mervyn S. Bennion. Doris Miller then manned a .50 caliber
antiaircraft gun, for which he had no training, and continued
firing on the enemy until he ran out of ammunition and received
the order to abandon ship.
(3) Doris Miller was acknowledged in the USS West Virginia
Action Report, individually, along with other brave personnel
for having ``carried out every order promptly and
enthusiastically, even when it meant danger to themselves. They
did not attempt to abandon the bridge until ordered to do
so.''.
(4) Doris Miller aided other service members and ``was
instrumental in hauling people along through oil and water to
the quarterdeck, thereby unquestionably saving the lives of a
number of people who might otherwise have been lost.''.
(5) On December 15, 1941, the Navy released its
commendations for actions in Pearl Harbor which included one
``unnamed Negro''. It wasn't until March of 1942, at the behest
of the NAACP, that the Navy formally recognized Miller's
heroism.
(6) Doris Miller was recognized by the Navy and awarded the
Navy Cross Medal with the citation reading ``For distinguished
devotion to duty, extraordinary courage and disregard for his
own personal safety during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl
Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, by Japanese forces on December 7,
1941. While at the side of his Captain on the bridge, Miller,
despite enemy strafing and bombing and in the face of a serious
fire, assisted in moving his Captain, who had been mortally
wounded, to a place of greater safety, and later manned and
operated a machine gun directed at enemy Japanese attacking
aircraft until ordered to leave the bridge.''.
(7) On May 27, 1942, Admiral Chester Nimitz personally
pinned the Navy Cross to Miller's left breast pocket while on
board the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise.
(8) Doris Miller died in action on November 24, 1943, on
board the USS Liscome Bay in the Pacific Ocean after a single
Japanese torpedo sank the vessel off the coast of Butaritari
Island.
SEC. 3. CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL.
(a) Presentation Authorized.--The Speaker of the House of
Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate shall make
appropriate arrangements for the posthumous presentation, on behalf of
Congress, of a gold medal of appropriate design in commemoration of
Doris Miller, in recognition of his acts of valor while a member of the
Navy during World War II.
(b) Design and Striking.--For the purposes of the presentation
referred to in subsection (a), the Secretary of the Treasury (hereafter
in this Act referred to as the ``Secretary'') shall strike a gold medal
with suitable emblems, devices, and inscriptions, to be determined by
the Secretary.
(c) Smithsonian Institution.--
(1) In general.--Following the award of the gold medal
under subsection (a), the gold medal shall be given to the
Smithsonian Institution, where it shall be available for
display as appropriate and made available for research.
(2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the Smithsonian Institution shall make the gold medal received
under paragraph (1) available for display elsewhere,
particularly at other appropriate locations associated with
Doris Miller.
SEC. 4. DUPLICATE MEDALS.
The Secretary may strike and sell duplicates in bronze of the gold
medal struck pursuant to section 3, at a price sufficient to cover the
cost thereof, including labor, materials, dies, use of machinery, and
overhead expenses.
SEC. 5. STATUS OF MEDALS.
(a) National Medals.--The medals struck pursuant to this Act are
national medals for purposes of chapter 51 of title 31, United States
Code.
(b) Numismatic Items.--For purposes of section 5134 of title 31,
United States Code, all medals struck under this Act shall be
considered to be numismatic items.

for, and to deter that government from, using its energy
resources as a geopolitical weapon to coerce, intimidate, and
influence other countries;
(3) to improve energy security in Europe by increasing
access to diverse, reliable, and affordable energy;
(4) to promote energy security in Europe by working with
the European Union and other allies of the United States to
develop liberalized energy markets that provide diversified
energy sources, suppliers, and routes;

transported; and
(6) to support countries that are allies or partners of the
United States by expediting the export of energy resources from

the United States to encourage NATO member countries to work together
to achieve energy security for those countries and countries in Europe
and Eurasia that are partners of NATO.
SEC. 4. TRANSATLANTIC ENERGY STRATEGY.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United

(b) Transatlantic Energy Strategy.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of

(2) Appropriate congressional committees defined.--In this
subsection, the term ``appropriate congressional committees''

``(D) any other foreign country if the Secretary of Energy,
in consultation with the Secretary of State and Secretary of
Defense, determines that exportation of natural gas to that
foreign country would promote the national security interests
of the United States.
``(3) The exportation of natural gas to Japan shall be deemed to be
consistent with the public interest pursuant to paragraph (1), and
applications for such exportation shall be granted without modification
or delay under that paragraph, during only such period as the Treaty of
Mutual Cooperation and Security, signed at Washington January 19, 1960,
and entered into force June 23, 1960 (11 UST 1632; TIAS 4509), between
the United States and Japan, remains in effect.''.
