Mental Health Access and Gun Violence Prevention Act of 2021
Bill: H.R.137 | Sponsor: Rep. Jackson Lee, Sheila (D-TX)
Policy area: Health

Summary:
Mental Health Access and Gun Violence Prevention Act of 2021
This bill authorizes FY2022 appropriations for the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Social Security Administration to (1) increase access to mental health care treatment and services, and (2) promote reporting of mental health information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

To authorize funding to increase access to mental health care treatment 
                        to reduce gun violence.

    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 ``Mental Health Access and Gun 
Violence Prevention Act of 2021''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Suicide is the leading cause of gun related deaths in 
        America. More than 60 percent of deaths by guns in the country 
        are the result of individuals using these weapons as a means to 
        commit suicide. Some of these deaths might have been prevented 
        if there were adequate background checks.
            (2) Victims of domestic abuse are more likely to become 
        victims of homicide when a gun is present. Further, individuals 
        who suffer from mental illnesses are more likely to be victims 
        rather than perpetrators of violence.
            (3) Approximately 1 in 4 American adults have a mental 
        illness and nearly half of all adults in America will develop 
        at least one mental illness during their lifetime.
            (4) Less than half of children and adults with diagnosable 
        mental health problems receive the treatment they need.

SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION OF FUNDING TO INCREASE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH 
              CARE TREATMENT TO REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE.

    There is authorized to be appropriated to the Attorney General of 
the United States, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and the 
Commissioner of Social Security $500,000,000 for fiscal year 2022 to 
carry out programs and activities authorized by provisions of law other 
than this Act--
            (1) to increase access to mental health care treatment and 
        services; and
            (2) to encourage and assist the reporting of relevant 
        disqualifying mental health information to the National Instant 
        Criminal Background Check System.

Bill: H.R.2137 | Sponsor: Rep. Cuellar, Henry (D-TX)
Policy area: Crime and Law Enforcement

Summary:
Jaime Zapata and Victor Avila Federal Law Enforcement Protection Act
This bill explicitly grants extraterritorial jurisdiction over criminal conduct involving the killing (or attempted killing) of a federal officer or employee. The United States may prosecute such conduct that occurs outside the United States.

To amend title 18, United States Code, to further protect officers and 
        employees of the United States, 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 ``Jaime Zapata and Victor Avila 
Federal Law Enforcement Protection Act''.

SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) since the founding of the Nation, officers and 
        employees of the United States Government have dutifully and 
        faithfully served the United States overseas, including in 
        situations that place them at serious risk of death or bodily 
        harm, in order to preserve, protect, and defend the interests 
        of the United States;
            (2) securing the safety of such officers and employees 
        while serving overseas is of paramount importance and is also 
        in furtherance of preserving, protecting, and defending the 
        interests of the United States;
            (3) Federal courts, including the United States Court of 
        Appeals for the Second Circuit, the United States Court of 
        Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and the United States Court of 
        Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, have correctly interpreted 
        section 1114 of title 18, United States Code, to apply 
        extraterritorially to protect officers and employees of the 
        United States while the officers and employees are serving 
        abroad;
            (4) in a case involving a violent attack against Federal 
        law enforcement officers Jaime Zapata and Victor Avila, a panel 
        of a Federal court of appeals held that section 1114 of title 
        18, United States Code, does not apply extraterritorially, 
        creating a split among the United States circuit courts of 
        appeals; and
            (5) in light of the opinion described in paragraph (4), it 
        has become necessary for Congress to clarify the original 
        intent that section 1114 of title 18, United States Code, 
        applies extraterritorially.

SEC. 3. PROTECTION OF OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE UNITED STATES.

    Section 1114 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
            (1) by inserting ``(a) In General.--'' before ``Whoever''; 
        and
            (2) by adding at the end the following:
    ``(b) Extraterritorial Jurisdiction.--There is extraterritorial 
jurisdiction over the conduct prohibited by this section.''.
