or who has been committed to the custody of the Attorney 
General pursuant to section 4241(d), or against whom all 
criminal charges have been dismissed solely for reasons 
relating to the mental condition of the person, the Attor-
ney General or any individual authorized by the Attorney 
General or the Director of the Bureau of Prisons may cer-
tify that the person is a sexually dangerous person, and 
transmit the certificate to the clerk of the court for the
district in which the person is confined. The clerk shall 
send a copy of the certificate to the person, and to the 
attorney for the Government, and, if the person was com-
mitted pursuant to section 4241(d), to the clerk of the 
court that ordered the commitment. The court shall order 
a hearing to determine whether the person is a sexually 
dangerous person. A certificate filed under this subsection 
shall stay the release of the person pending completion of 
procedures contained in this section. 
‘‘(b) PSYCHIATRIC
OR PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAMINA-
TION AND REPORT.—Prior to the date of the hearing, the 
court may order that a psychiatric or psychological exam-
ination of the defendant be conducted, and that a psy-
chiatric or psychological report be filed with the court, 
pursuant to the provisions of section 4247(b) and (c). 
‘‘(c) HEARING.—The hearing shall be conducted pur-
suant to the provisions of section 4247(d). 
‘‘(d) DETERMINATION AND DISPOSITION.—If, after 
the hearing, the court finds by clear and convincing evi-
dence that the person is a sexually dangerous person, the 
court shall commit the person to the custody of the Attor-
ney General. The Attorney General shall release the per-
son to the appropriate official of the State in which the 
person is domiciled or was tried if such State will assume 
responsibility for his custody, care, and treatment. The
Attorney General shall make all reasonable efforts to 
cause such a State to assume such responsibility. If, not-
withstanding such efforts, neither such State will assume 
such responsibility, the Attorney General shall place the 
person for treatment in a suitable facility, until—
‘‘(1) such a State will assume such responsi-
bility; or 
‘‘(2) the person’s condition is such that he is no 
longer sexually dangerous to others, or will not be 
sexually dangerous to others if released under a pre-
scribed regimen of medical, psychiatric, or psycho-
logical care or treatment; 
whichever is earlier. The Attorney General shall make all 
reasonable efforts to have a State to assume such respon-
sibility for the person’s custody, care, and treatment. 
‘‘(e) DISCHARGE.—When the Director of the facility 
in which a person is placed pursuant to subsection (d) de-
termines that the person’s condition is such that he is no 
longer sexually dangerous to others, or will not be sexually 
dangerous to others if released under a prescribed regimen 
of medical, psychiatric, or psychological care or treatment, 
he shall promptly file a certificate to that effect with the 
clerk of the court that ordered the commitment. The clerk 
shall send a copy of the certificate to the person’s counsel 
and to the attorney for the Government. The court shall
order the discharge of the person or, on motion of the at-
torney for the Government or on its own motion, shall hold 
a hearing, conducted pursuant to the provisions of section 
4247(d), to determine whether he should be released. If, 
after the hearing, the court finds by a preponderance of 
the evidence that the person’s condition is such that—
‘‘(1) he will not be sexually dangerous to others 
if released unconditionally, the court shall order that 
he be immediately discharged; or 
‘‘(2) he will not be sexually dangerous to others 
if released under a prescribed regimen of medical, 
psychiatric, or psychological care or treatment, the 
court shall—
‘‘(A) order that he be conditionally dis-
charged under a prescribed regimen of medical, 
psychiatric, or psychological care or treatment 
that has been prepared for him, that has been 
certified to the court as appropriate by the Di-
rector of the facility in which he is committed, 
and that has been found by the court to be ap-
propriate; and 
‘‘(B) order, as an explicit condition of re-
lease, that he comply with the prescribed regi-
men of medical, psychiatric, or psychological 
care or treatment.
The court at any time may, after a hearing employ-
ing the same criteria, modify or eliminate the regi-
men of medical, psychiatric, or psychological care or 
treatment. 
‘‘(f) REVOCATION OF CONDITIONAL DISCHARGE.—
The director of a facility responsible for administering a 
regimen imposed on a person conditionally discharged 
under subsection (e) shall notify the Attorney General and 
the court having jurisdiction over the person of any failure 
of the person to comply with the regimen. Upon such no-
tice, or upon other probable cause to believe that the per-
son has failed to comply with the prescribed regimen of 
medical, psychiatric, or psychological care or treatment, 
the person may be arrested, and, upon arrest, shall be 
taken without unnecessary delay before the court having 
jurisdiction over him. The court shall, after a hearing, de-
termine whether the person should be remanded to a suit-
able facility on the ground that he is sexually dangerous 
to others in light of his failure to comply with the pre-
scribed regimen of medical, psychiatric, or psychological 
care or treatment. 
‘‘(g) RELEASE TO STATE OF CERTAIN OTHER PER-
SONS.—If the director of the facility in which a person 
is hospitalized or placed pursuant to this chapter certifies 
to the Attorney General that a person, against him all
charges have been dismissed for reasons not related to the 
mental condition of the person, is a sexually dangerous 
person, the Attorney General shall release the person to 
the appropriate official of the State in which the person 
is domiciled or was tried for the purpose of institution of 
State proceedings for civil commitment. If neither such 
State will assume such responsibility, the Attorney Gen-
eral shall release the person upon receipt of notice from 
the State that it will not assume such responsibility, but 
not later than 10 days after certification by the director 
of the facility.’’.

TITLE VII—NATIONAL REGISTER 
OF CASES OF CHILD ABUSE 
OR NEGLECT 
SEC. 701. NATIONAL REGISTER OF CASES OF CHILD ABUSE 
OR NEGLECT. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Attorney General, in con-
sultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Serv-
ices, shall create a national register of cases of child abuse 
or neglect. The information in such register shall be sup-
plied by States, or, at the option of a State, by political 
subdivisions of such State. 
(b) INFORMATION.—The register described in sub-
section (a) shall collect in a central electronic database in-
formation on children reported to a State, or a political 
subdivision of a State, as abused or neglected. 
(c) SCOPE OF INFORMATION.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—
(A) TREATMENT OF REPORTS.—The infor-
mation to be provided to the Secretary of 
Health and Human Services under this section 
shall relate to substantiated reports of child 
abuse or neglect. Except as provided in sub-
paragraph (B), each State, or, at the option of 
a State, each political subdivision of such State, 
shall determine whether the information to be
provided to the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services under this section shall also relate to 
reports of suspected instances of child abuse or 
neglect that were unsubstantiated or deter-
mined to be unfounded. 
(B) EXCEPTION.—If a State or political 
subdivision of a State has an equivalent elec-
tronic register of cases of child abuse or neglect 
that it maintains pursuant to a requirement or 
authorization under any other provision of law, 
the information provided to the Secretary of 
Health and Human Services under this section 
shall be coextensive with that in such register. 
(2) FORM.—Information provided to the Sec-
retary of Health and Human Services under this 
section—
(A) shall be in a standardized electronic 
form determined by the Secretary of Health 
and Human Services; and 
(B) shall contain case-specific identifying 
information, except that, at the option of the 
entity supplying the information, the confiden-
tiality of identifying information concerning an 
individual initiating a report or complaint re-
100
garding a suspected or known instance of child 
abuse or neglect may be maintained. 
(d) CONSTRUCTION.—This section shall not be con-
strued to require a State or political subdivision of a State 
to modify—
(1) an equivalent register of cases of child 
abuse or neglect that it maintains pursuant to a re-
quirement or authorization under any other provi-
sion of law; or 
(2) any other record relating to child abuse or 
neglect, regardless of whether the report of abuse or 
neglect was substantiated, unsubstantiated, or deter-
mined to be unfounded. 
(e) DISSEMINATION.—The Attorney General, in con-
sultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Serv-
ices, shall establish standards for the dissemination of in-
formation in the national register of cases of child abuse 
or neglect. Such standards shall preserve the confiden-
tiality of records in order to protect the rights of the child 
and the child’s parents or guardians while also ensuring 
that Federal, State, and local government entities have ac-
cess to such information in order to carry out their respon-
sibilities under law to protect children from abuse and ne-
glect.
101
(f) AUTHORIZATION
OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There 
are authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section 
such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 2006 and 
succeeding fiscal years. 
TITLE 
VIII—CHILD 
PORNOG-
RAPHY PREVENTION ACT OF 
2005
SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE. 
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Child Pornography 
Prevention Act of 2005’’. 
SEC. 802. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The effect of the intrastate production, 
transportation, distribution, receipt, advertising, and 
possession of child pornography on interstate market 
in child pornography. 
(A) The illegal production, transportation, 
distribution, receipt, advertising and possession 
of child pornography, as defined in section 
2256(8) of title 18, United States Code, as well 
as the transfer of custody of children for the 
production of child pornography, is harmful to 
the physiological, emotional, and mental health 
of the children depicted in child pornography
102
and has a substantial and detrimental effect on 
society as a whole. 
(B) A substantial interstate market in 
child pornography exists, including not only a 
multimillion dollar industry, but also a nation-
wide network of individuals openly advertising 
their desire to exploit children and to traffic in 
child pornography. Many of these individuals 
distribute child pornography with the expecta-
tion of receiving other child pornography in re-
turn. 
(C) The interstate market in child pornog-
raphy is carried on to a substantial extent 
through the mails and other instrumentalities 
of interstate and foreign commerce, such as the 
Internet. The advent of the Internet has greatly 
increased the ease of transporting, distributing, 
receiving, and advertising child pornography in 
interstate commerce. The advent of digital cam-
eras and digital video cameras, as well as video-
tape cameras, has greatly increased the ease of 
producing child pornography. The advent of in-
expensive computer equipment with the capacity 
to store large numbers of digital images of child 
pornography has greatly increased the ease of
103
possessing child pornography. Taken together, 
these technological advances have had the un-
fortunate result of greatly increasing the inter-
state market in child pornography. 
(D) Intrastate incidents of production, 
transportation, distribution, receipt, advertising, 
and possession of child pornography, as well as 
the transfer of custody of children for the pro-
duction of child pornography, have a substantial 
and direct effect upon interstate commerce be-
cause: 
(i) Some persons engaged in the pro-
duction, transportation, distribution, re-
ceipt, advertising, and possession of child 
pornography conduct such activities en-
tirely within the boundaries of one state. 
These persons are unlikely to be content 
with the amount of child pornography they 
produce, transport, distribute, receive, ad-
vertise, or possess. These persons are 
therefore likely to enter the interstate mar-
ket in child pornography in search of addi-
tional child pornography, thereby stimu-
lating demand in the interstate market in 
child pornography.
104
(ii) When the persons described in 
subparagraph (D)(i) enter the interstate 
market in search of additional child por-
nography, they are likely to distribute the 
child pornography they already produce, 
transport, distribute, receive, advertise, or 
possess to persons who will distribute addi-
tional child pornography to them, thereby 
stimulating supply in the interstate market 
in child pornography. 
(iii) Much of the child pornography 
that supplies the interstate market in child 
pornography is produced entirely within 
the boundaries of one state, is not trace-
able, and enters the interstate market sur-
reptitiously. This child pornography sup-
ports demand in the interstate market in 
child pornography and is essential to its 
existence. 
(E) Prohibiting the intrastate production, 
transportation, distribution, receipt, advertising, 
and possession of child pornography, as well as 
the intrastate transfer of custody of children for 
the production of child pornography, will cause 
some persons engaged in such intrastate activi-
105
ties to cease all such activities, thereby reducing 
both supply and demand in the interstate mar-
ket for child pornography. 
(F) Federal control of the intrastate inci-
dents of the production, transportation, dis-
tribution, receipt, advertising, and possession of 
child pornography, as well as the intrastate 
transfer of children for the production of child 
pornography, is essential to the effective control 
of the interstate market in child pornography. 
(2) The importance of protecting children from 
repeat exploitation in child pornography: 
(A) The vast majority of child pornography 
prosecutions today involve images contained on 
computer hard drives, computer disks, and re-
lated media. 
(B) Child pornography is not entitled to 
protection under the First Amendment and 
thus may be prohibited. 
(C) The government has a compelling state 
interest in protecting children from those who 
sexually exploit them, and this interest extends 
to stamping out the vice of child pornography 
at all levels in the distribution chain.
106
(D) Every instance of viewing images of 
child pornography represents a renewed viola-
tion of the privacy of the victims and a repeti-
tion of their abuse. 
(E) Child pornography constitutes prima 
facie contraband, and as such should not be dis-
tributed to, or copied by, child pornography de-
fendants or their attorneys. 
(F) It is imperative to prohibit the repro-
duction of child pornography in criminal cases 
so as to avoid repeated violation and abuse of 
victims, so long as the government makes rea-
sonable accommodations for the inspection, 
viewing, and examination of such material for 
the purposes of mounting a criminal defense.

computer-manipulated image of an actual human 
being, or picture,’’.
109
SEC. 804. PREVENTION OF DISTRIBUTION OF CHILD POR-
NOGRAPHY USED AS EVIDENCE IN PROSECU-
TIONS. 
Section 3509 of title 18, United States Code, is 
amended by adding at the end the following: 
‘‘(m) PROHIBITION ON REPRODUCTION OF CHILD 
PORNOGRAPHY.—
‘‘(1) In any criminal proceeding, any property 
or material that constitutes child pornography (as 
defined by section 2256 of this title) must remain in 
the care, custody, and control of either the Govern-
ment or the court. 
‘‘(2)(A) Notwithstanding Rule 16 of the Fed-

this title), so long as the Government makes the 
property or material reasonably available to the de-
fendant.

torney, aid any individual the defendant may seek to 
qualify to furnish expert testimony at trial.’’.

TITLE X—LOCAL LAW ENFORCE-
MENT HATE CRIMES PREVEN-
TION 
SEC. 1001. SHORT TITLE. 
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Local Law Enforce-
ment Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2005’’. 
SEC. 1002. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The incidence of violence motivated by the 
actual or perceived race, color, religion, national ori-
gin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or 
disability of the victim poses a serious national prob-
lem. 
(2) Such violence disrupts the tranquility and 
safety of communities and is deeply divisive. 
(3) State and local authorities are now and will 
continue to be responsible for prosecuting the over-
whelming majority of violent crimes in the United 
States, including violent crimes motivated by bias.
115
These authorities can carry out their responsibilities 
more effectively with greater Federal assistance. 
(4) Existing Federal law is inadequate to ad-
dress this problem. 
(5) The prominent characteristic of a violent 
crime motivated by bias is that it devastates not just 
the actual victim and the family and friends of the 
victim, but frequently savages the community shar-
ing the traits that caused the victim to be selected. 
(6) Such violence substantially affects interstate 
commerce in many ways, including—
(A) by impeding the movement of members 
of targeted groups and forcing such members to 
move across State lines to escape the incidence 
or risk of such violence; and 
(B) by preventing members of targeted 
groups from purchasing goods and services, ob-
taining or sustaining employment, or partici-
pating in other commercial activity. 
(7) Perpetrators cross State lines to commit 
such violence. 
(8) Channels, facilities, and instrumentalities of 
interstate commerce are used to facilitate the com-
mission of such violence.
116
(9) Such violence is committed using articles 
that have traveled in interstate commerce. 
(10) For generations, the institutions of slavery 
and involuntary servitude were defined by the race, 
color, and ancestry of those held in bondage. Slavery 
and involuntary servitude were enforced, both prior 
to and after the adoption of the 13th amendment to 
the Constitution of the United States, through wide-
spread public and private violence directed at per-
sons because of their race, color, or ancestry, or per-
ceived race, color, or ancestry. Accordingly, elimi-
nating racially motivated violence is an important 
means of eliminating, to the extent possible, the 
badges, incidents, and relics of slavery and involun-
tary servitude. 
(11) Both at the time when the 13th, 14th, and 
15th amendments to the Constitution of the United 
States were adopted, and continuing to date, mem-
bers of certain religious and national origin groups 
were and are perceived to be distinct ‘‘races’’. Thus, 
in order to eliminate, to the extent possible, the 
badges, incidents, and relics of slavery, it is nec-
essary to prohibit assaults on the basis of real or 
perceived religions or national origins, at least to the 
extent such religions or national origins were re-
117
garded as races at the time of the adoption of the 
13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitu-
tion of the United States. 
(12) Federal jurisdiction over certain violent 
crimes motivated by bias enables Federal, State, and 
local authorities to work together as partners in the 
investigation and prosecution of such crimes. 
(13) The problem of crimes motivated by bias 
is sufficiently serious, widespread, and interstate in 
nature as to warrant Federal assistance to States 
and local jurisdictions. 
SEC. 1003. DEFINITION OF HATE CRIME. 
In this title, the term ‘‘hate crime’’ has the same 
meaning as in section 280003(a) of the Violent Crime 
Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (28 U.S.C. 
994 note). 
SEC. 1004. SUPPORT FOR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS AND 
PROSECUTIONS BY STATE AND LOCAL LAW 
ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS. 
(a) ASSISTANCE OTHER THAN FINANCIAL ASSIST-
ANCE.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—At the request of a law en-
forcement official of a State or Indian tribe, the At-
torney General may provide technical, forensic, pros-
ecutorial, or any other form of assistance in the
118
criminal investigation or prosecution of any crime 
that—
(A) constitutes a crime of violence (as de-
fined in section 16 of title 18, United States 
Code); 
(B) constitutes a felony under the laws of 
the State or Indian tribe; and 
(C) is motivated by prejudice based on the 
actual or perceived race, color, religion, national 
origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender iden-
tity, or disability of the victim, or is a violation 
of the hate crime laws of the State or Indian 
tribe. 
(2) PRIORITY.—In providing assistance under 
paragraph (1), the Attorney General shall give pri-
ority to crimes committed by offenders who have 
committed crimes in more than 1 State and to rural 
jurisdictions that have difficulty covering the ex-
traordinary expenses relating to the investigation or 
prosecution of the crime. 
(b) GRANTS.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Attorney General may 
award grants to assist State, local, and Indian law 
enforcement officials with the extraordinary expenses
119
associated with the investigation and prosecution of 
hate crimes.

menting the grant program, the Office of Justice 
Programs shall work closely with the funded juris-
dictions to ensure that the concerns and needs of all 
affected parties, including community groups and 
schools, colleges, and universities, are addressed 
through the local infrastructure developed under the 
grants. 
(3) APPLICATION.—
(A) IN GENERAL.—Each State that desires 
a grant under this subsection shall submit an 
application to the Attorney General at such 
time, in such manner, and accompanied by or 
containing such information as the Attorney 
General shall reasonably require. 
(B) DATE FOR SUBMISSION.—Applications 
submitted pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall 
be submitted during the 60-day period begin-
ning on a date that the Attorney General shall 
prescribe.
