Hope Scholarship Credit to cover fees, books, supplies, 
and equipment and to exempt Federal Pell Grants and 
Federal supplemental educational opportunity grants 
from reducing expenses taken into account for the Hope 
Scholarship Credit.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. EXPANSION OF EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES AL-
LOWED AS PART OF HOPE SCHOLARSHIP 
CREDIT. 
(a) QUALIFIED TUITION AND RELATED EXPENSES 
EXPANDED TO INCLUDE BOOKS, SUPPLIES, AND EQUIP-
MENT.—Paragraph (1) of section 25A(f) of the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1986 (defining qualified tuition and re-
lated expenses) is amended by adding at the end the fol-
lowing new subparagraph: 
‘‘(D) ADDITIONAL

cation furnished in academic periods beginning after such

(5) Tobacco advertising and marketing con-
tribute significantly to the use of nicotine-containing 
tobacco products by adolescents. 
(6) Because past efforts to restrict advertising 
and marketing of tobacco products have failed ade-
quately to curb tobacco use by adolescents, com-
prehensive restrictions on the sale, promotion, and 
distribution of such products are needed. 
(7) Federal and State governments have lacked 
the legal and regulatory authority and resources 
they need to address comprehensively the public 
health and societal problems caused by the use of to-
bacco products. 
(8) Federal and State public health officials, 
the public health community, and the public at large 
recognize that the tobacco industry should be subject 
to ongoing oversight. 
(9) Under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitu-
tion, the Congress is vested with the responsibility 
for regulating interstate commerce and commerce 
with Indian tribes. 
(10) The sale, distribution, marketing, adver-
tising, and use of tobacco products are activities in 
and substantially affecting interstate commerce be-
cause they are sold, marketed, advertised, and dis-
tributed in interstate commerce on a nationwide 
basis, and have a substantial effect on the Nation’s 
economy. 
(11) The sale, distribution, marketing, adver-
tising, and use of such products substantially affect 
interstate commerce through the health care and 
other costs attributable to the use of tobacco prod-
ucts. 
(12) It is in the public interest for Congress to 
enact legislation that provides the Food and Drug 
Administration with the authority to regulate to-
bacco products and the advertising and promotion of 
such products. The benefits to the American people 
from enacting such legislation would be significant 
in human and economic terms. 
(13) Tobacco use is the foremost preventable 
cause of premature death in America. It causes over 
400,000 deaths in the United States each year and 
approximately 8,600,000 Americans have chronic ill-
nesses related to smoking. 
(14) Reducing the use of tobacco by minors by 
50 percent would prevent well over 6,500,000 of to-
day’s children from becoming regular, daily smokers, 
saving over 2,000,000 of them from premature 
death due to tobacco induced disease. Such a reduc-

GENERAL.—Section 1860D–31(b) of 
such Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w–141(b)) is amended by

BENEFICIARIES IN MEDICARE SAVINGS PROGRAMS.—
‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in 
subparagraph (C), individuals described in sub-
section (c)(1)(F)(ii) shall be treated as transi-

‘‘(B) SPECIAL TRANSITIONAL ASSISTANCE 
ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS.—Except as provided in 
subparagraph (C), such individuals who are re-
cipients of supplemental security income bene-
fits under title XVI or determined to be eligible 
for medical assistance under title XIX solely by 
reason of clause (i), (iii), or (iv) of section

(i), and information relating to occu-
pations in demand in the local area. 
‘‘(iii) LIMITATIONS.—The following 
limitations shall apply with respect to per-
sonal reemployment accounts under this 
subsection:

ployment account may be used for up 
to 1 year from the date of the estab-
lishment of the account. 
‘‘(II) Each recipient shall submit 
cost documentation as required by the
