        Appropriations that--
                    (A) such foreign government or entity has an 
                effective arrangement that is providing substantial 
                reimbursement of such taxes; or
                    (B) the foreign policy interests of the United 
                States outweigh the purpose of this section to ensure 
                that United States assistance is not subject to 
                taxation.
            (2) Consultation.--The Secretary of State shall consult 
        with the Committees on Appropriations at least 15 days prior to 
        exercising the authority of this subsection with regard to any 
        foreign government or entity.
    (f) Implementation.--The Secretary of State shall issue and update 
rules, regulations, or policy guidance, as appropriate, to implement 
the prohibition against the taxation of assistance contained in this 
section.
    (g) Definitions.--As used in this section--
            (1) the term ``bilateral agreement'' refers to a framework 
        bilateral agreement between the Government of the United States 
        and the government of the country receiving assistance that 
        describes the privileges and immunities applicable to United 
        States foreign assistance for such country generally, or an 
        individual agreement between the Government of the United 
        States and such government that describes, among other things, 
        the treatment for tax purposes that will be accorded the United 
        States assistance provided under that agreement; and
            (2) the term ``taxes and taxation'' shall include value 
        added taxes and customs duties but shall not include individual

    Sec. 7014. (a) Reprogramming.--Funds appropriated under titles III

any such reprogramming shall be subject to the regular notification 
procedures of the Committees on Appropriations:  Provided further, That 
assistance that is reprogrammed pursuant to this subsection shall be

contained in subsection (a), the original period of availability of 
funds appropriated by this Act and administered by the Department of 
State or the United States Agency for International Development that 
are specifically designated for particular programs or activities by 
this or any other Act may be extended for an additional fiscal year if 
the Secretary of State or the USAID Administrator, as appropriate, 
determines and reports promptly to the Committees on Appropriations 
that the termination of assistance to a country or a significant change 
in circumstances makes it unlikely that such designated funds can be 
obligated during the original period of availability:  Provided, That 
such designated funds that continue to be available for an additional 
fiscal year shall be obligated only for the purpose of such 
designation.
    (c) Other Acts.--Ceilings and specifically designated funding

    Sec. 7088. (a) Petition for Review.--
            (1) Jurisdiction.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
        law, a Federal court shall have jurisdiction to review the 
        merits of a petition claiming violation of Article 36(1)(b) or 
        (c) of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, done at 
        Vienna April 24, 1963, or a comparable provision of a bilateral 
        international agreement addressing consular notification and 
        access, filed by an individual convicted and sentenced to death 
        by any Federal or State court before the date of enactment of 
        this Act.
            (2) Standard.--To obtain relief, an individual described in 
        paragraph (1) must make a showing of actual prejudice to the 
        criminal conviction or sentence as a result of the violation. 
        The court may conduct an evidentiary hearing if necessary to 
        supplement the record and, upon a finding of actual prejudice, 
        shall order a new trial or sentencing proceeding.
            (3) Limitations.--
                    (A) Initial showing.--To qualify for review under 
                this subsection, a petition must make an initial 
                showing that--
                            (i) a violation of Article 36(1)(b) or (c) 
                        of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 
                        done at Vienna April 24, 1963, or a comparable 
                        provision of a bilateral international 
                        agreement addressing consular notification and 
                        access, occurred with respect to the individual 
                        described in paragraph (1); and
                            (ii) if such violation had not occurred, 
                        the consulate would have provided assistance to 
                        the individual.
                    (B) Effect of prior adjudication.--A petition for 
                review under this subsection shall not be granted if 
                the claimed violation described in paragraph (1) has 
                previously been adjudicated on the merits by a Federal 
                or State court of competent jurisdiction in a 
                proceeding in which no Federal or State procedural bars 
                were raised with respect to such violation and in which 
                the court provided review equivalent to the review 
                provided in this subsection, unless the adjudication of 
                the claim resulted in a decision that was based on an 
                unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the 
                evidence presented in the prior Federal or State court 
                proceeding.
                    (C) Filing deadline.--A petition for review under 
                this subsection shall be filed within 1 year of the 
                later of--
                            (i) the date of enactment of this Act;
                            (ii) the date on which the Federal or State 
                        court judgment against the individual described 
                        in paragraph (1) became final by the conclusion 
                        of direct review or the expiration of the time 
                        for seeking such review; or
                            (iii) the date on which the impediment to 
                        filing a petition created by Federal or State 
                        action in violation of the Constitution or laws 
                        of the United States is removed, if the 
                        individual described in paragraph (1) was 
                        prevented from filing by such Federal or State 
                        action.
                    (D) Tolling.--The time during which a properly 
                filed application for State post-conviction or other 
                collateral review with respect to the pertinent 
                judgment or claim is pending shall not be counted 
                toward the 1-year period of limitation.
                    (E) Time limit for review.--A Federal court shall 
                give priority to a petition for review filed under this 
                subsection over all noncapital matters. With respect to 
                a petition for review filed under this subsection and 
                claiming only a violation described in paragraph (1), a 
                Federal court shall render a final determination and 
                enter a final judgment not later than one year after 
                the date on which the petition is filed.
            (4) Habeas petition.--A petition for review under this 
        subsection shall be part of the first Federal habeas corpus 
        application or motion for Federal collateral relief under 
        chapter 153 of title 28, United States Code, filed by an 
        individual, except that if an individual filed a Federal habeas 
        corpus application or motion for Federal collateral relief 
        before the date of enactment of this Act or if such application 
        is required to be filed before the date that is 1 year after 
        the date of enactment of this Act, such petition for review 
        under this subsection shall be filed not later than 1 year 
        after the enactment date or within the period prescribed by 
        paragraph (3)(C)(iii), whichever is later. No petition filed in 
        conformity with the requirements of the preceding sentence 
        shall be considered a second or successive habeas corpus 
        application or subjected to any bars to relief based on 
        preenactment proceedings other than as specified in paragraph 
        (2).
            (5) Referral to magistrate.--A Federal court acting under 
        this subsection may refer the petition for review to a Federal 
        magistrate for proposed findings and recommendations pursuant 
        to section 636(b)(1)(B) of title 28, United States Code.
            (6) Appeal.--
                    (A) In general.--A final order on a petition for 
                review under paragraph (1) shall be subject to review

                which the proceeding is held.
                    (B) Appeal by petitioner.--An individual described 
                in paragraph (1) may appeal a final order on a petition 
                for review under paragraph (1) only if a district or 
                circuit judge issues a certificate of appealability. A 
                district or circuit court judge shall issue or deny a 
                certificate of appealability not later than 30 days 
                after an application for a certificate of appealability 
                is filed. A district judge or circuit judge may issue a 
                certificate of appealability under this subparagraph if 
                the individual has made a substantial showing of actual 
                prejudice to the criminal conviction or sentence of the 
                individual as a result of a violation described in 
                paragraph (1).
    (b) Violation.--
            (1) In general.--An individual not covered by subsection 
        (a) who is arrested, detained, or held for trial on a charge 
        that would expose the individual to a capital sentence if 
        convicted may raise a claim of a violation of Article 36(1)(b) 
        or (c) of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, done at 
        Vienna April 24, 1963, or of a comparable provision of a 
        bilateral international agreement addressing consular 
        notification and access, at a reasonable time after the 
        individual becomes aware of the violation, before the court 
        with jurisdiction over the charge. Upon a finding of such a 
        violation--
                    (A) the consulate of the foreign state of which the 
                individual is a national shall be notified immediately 
                by the detaining authority, and consular access to the 
                individual shall be afforded in accordance with the 
                provisions of the Vienna Convention on Consular 
                Relations, done at Vienna April 24, 1963, or the 
                comparable provisions of a bilateral international 
                agreement addressing consular notification and access; 
                and
                    (B) the court--
                            (i) shall postpone any proceedings to the 
                        extent the court determines necessary to allow 
                        for adequate opportunity for consular access 
                        and assistance; and
                            (ii) may enter necessary orders to 
                        facilitate consular access and assistance.
            (2) Evidentiary hearings.--The court may conduct 
        evidentiary hearings if necessary to resolve factual issues.
            (3) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this subsection shall 
        be construed to create any additional remedy.

State of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth 
of Puerto Rico, and any territory or possession of the United States.
