IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

‘‘(a) DEFINITIONS.—As used in this section, the term

‘‘(b) DISCLOSURE
REQUIRED.—Any toll service
reseller shall disclose to any person to whom it provides,

riers whose facilities such reseller uses in the provi-
sion of telephone toll services to such person; and
‘‘(2) the nature of the toll service reseller’s af-

rier in such reseller, or that such reseller is not so
affiliated with such carrier.
‘‘(c) TIMING

reseller shall make the disclosures required by subsection
(b)—

ing such services;

Urging the Federal courts to expedite disposition of actions challenging the 
constitutionality of provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable 
Care Act (Public Law 111–148). 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
FEBRUARY 8, 2011 
Mr. FORBES (for himself, Mr. LANCE, Mr. GOODLATTE, and Mr. BURTON of 
Indiana) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on the Judiciary 
RESOLUTION 
Urging the Federal courts to expedite disposition of actions 
challenging the constitutionality of provisions of the Pa-
tient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 
111–148). 
Whereas actions have been filed in a number of Federal 
courts challenging the constitutionality of various provi-
sions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 
(Public Law 111–148), including the so-called individual 
mandate; 
Whereas, in the case of Virginia v. Sebelius (Civil Action No. 
3:10CV188–HEH), Judge Henry E. Hudson of the East-
ern District of Virginia ruled on December 13, 2010, 
that the individual mandate was unconstitutional in that

Congress lacked the constitutional authority to impose 
such a mandate; 
Whereas a similar case, Florida v. Sebelius (Case No. 3:10– 
cv–91), was filed in the district court for the Northern 
District of Florida to challenge the constitutionality of 
the individual mandate and other provisions of that law 
and 26 States have either challenged or are seeking leave 
to challenge such constitutionality; 
Whereas in the cases of Liberty University v. Geithner (Case 
No. 6:10–cv–00015) and Thomas Moore Law Center v. 
Obama (729 F. Supp. 2d), Judge Norman K. Moon of 
the Western District of Virginia and Judge George C. 
Steeh of the Eastern District of Michigan, respectively, 
upheld the constitutionality of the individual mandate; 
Whereas the lack of a definitive ruling in these actions cre-
ates uncertainties and impacts adversely on the areas of 
the economy and health care; and 
Whereas a prompt resolution of these cases would bring cer-
tainty to employers, individuals, health care providers, 
State and local governments, and others: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that— 
(1) it is a matter of great public importance 
that actions in Federal courts challenging the con-
stitutionality of the Patient Protection and Afford-
able Care Act (Public Law 111–148) be resolved as 
quickly as possible; and

sisted projects would not detrimentally affect the
tenants of the projects;
(8) the inability of the Department to remedy
the problems of troubled assisted projects results
from a variety of factors, including poor manage-
ment, inadequate data systems, staff shortages, and
a lack of program accountability;
(9) the Department has not conducted a com-
plete assessment of troubled assisted projects, but
should conduct such an assessment, which should in-
clude—
(A) conducting a financial and cost-benefit
analysis of each troubled assisted project to de-

charged for dwelling units in the project were equal

‘‘(C) The amount of the balance in any re-

‘‘(D) The estimated cost of any rehabilita-
tion necessary to maintain the project in ac-

standards and codes or to bring the project into
compliance with such standards and codes.
‘‘(E) Any Federal, State, local, or private
programs or other sources of financing for re-
habilitation expenses for the project for which
the project is eligible.
‘‘(F) The amount of monthly rental reve-
nue necessary per dwelling unit to fully support
the sum of rehabilitation costs under subpara-
graph (D) for the project, the costs of operating
the project, and the costs of maintaining the
project in accordance with applicable building
and safety standards.
‘‘(G) The estimated revenue losses result-
ing from vacancies in dwelling units in the
project.
‘‘(3) the success of the Competitiveness Com-
munities Demonstration Program authorized by sec-
tion 905, including the number of grants provided
under the program, the distribution of such grants
among geographic regions and among urban and
rural areas, the amount of non-Federal funds lever-
