To amend the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation
Act of 1996 to allow States and localities to provide primary and preven-
tive care to all individuals.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
AUGUST 2, 2001
Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas introduced the following bill; which was referred
to the Committee on Energy and Commerce
A BILL
To amend the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
Reconciliation Act of 1996 to allow States and localities
to provide primary and preventive care to all individuals.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Good Health Protec-
tion Act of 2001’’.
SECTION 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Personal Responsibility and Work Op-
portunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 states that
aliens may receive ‘‘assistance for health care items
and services that are necessary for the treatment of
an emergency medical condition’’.
(2) The Attorney General of Texas made a re-
cent decision based on the Personal Responsibility
and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996
that undocumented aliens could not receive non-
emergency medical care from hospitals with public
funds.
(3) In the decision, the Texas Attorney General
states that Federal law prohibits hospitals from pro-
viding nonemergency health care, which consists of
primary and preventive care, to undocumented aliens
with public money.
(4) If hospitals do not comply with the opinion
of the Texas Attorney General, they face the possi-
bility of losing Federal money or face criminal
charges for misuse of public funds.
(5) The amendments made by section 2 will
protect staff, administrators, and members of boards
of directors of hospitals from criminal and civil pen-
alties.
(6) The opinion of the Texas Attorney General
is unfair to health care providers and endangers the
health of all residents.
(7) It is necessary to amend the Personal Re-
sponsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation
Act of 1996 to correct this injustice.
SEC. 3. PERMITTING STATES AND LOCALITIES TO PROVIDE
PRIMARY AND PREVENTIVE CARE TO ALL IN-
DIVIDUALS.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Section 411(b)(1) of the Personal
Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act
of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1621(b)(1)) is amended by inserting
‘‘or for primary and preventive care’’ after ‘‘Act)’’.
(b) EFFECTIVE DATE.—The amendment made by
subsection (a) shall apply to primary and preventive care
furnished before, on, or after the date of the enactment
of this Act.
SEC. 4. REMEDIES.
Any person purposely or mistakenly denied after the
enactment of this Act may in a civil action obtain appro-
priate relief.

‘‘(e) PROTECTION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION.—Fed-
eral Prison Industries shall carry out its industrial oper-
ations so as to ensure that, in the production of a product
or the performance of a service, inmate workers do not
have access to—
‘‘(1) personal or financial information about
any citizen of the United States without prior notice
of the access being provided to that citizen, includ-
SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS.
For purposes of this Act—
(1) the term ‘‘automotive’’ means land-based en-
gine-powered vehicles including automobiles, trucks,
busses, trains, defense vehicles, farm equipment, and
motorcycles;
(2) the term ‘‘Director’’ means the Director of the
National Institute of Standards and Technology;
(3) the term ‘‘enterprise integration’’ means the
electronic linkage of manufacturers, assemblers, sup-
pliers, and customers to enable the electronic exchange
of product, manufacturing, and other business data
among all partners in a product supply chain, and
such term includes related application protocols and
other related standards;
(4) the term ‘‘major manufacturing industry’’
includes the aerospace, automotive, electronics, ship-
building, construction, home building, furniture, tex-
tile, and apparel industries and such other industries
as the Director designates; and
(5) the term ‘‘roadmap’’ means an assessment of
manufacturing interoperability requirements devel-
oped by an industry describing that industry’s goals
related to enterprise integration, the knowledge and
standards including application protocols necessary
to achieve those goals, and the necessary steps, time-
ing application protocols, developed for electronic
business in their industry worldwide reflect their
needs and the needs of their customers and sup-
pliers.
(7) Many American small and medium-sized
manufacturers run the risk of losing their largest
customers during the first half of this decade unless
they adopt computer aided design, engineering, and
manufacturing systems in their work places and
learn how to participate with customers and sup-
pliers in integrated electronic enterprises.
(8) Application protocols are very complex
standards, often running thousands of pages, and
require the cooperation of entire industries for their
development.
(9) The National Institute of Standards and
Technology, because of the electronic commerce ex-
pertise in its laboratories and quality program, its
long history of working cooperatively with manufac-
turers, and the nationwide reach of its manufac-
turing extension program, is in a unique position to
help United States large and smaller manufacturers
alike in their responses to this challenge.
