                                 A BILL


 
  To reauthorize the United States Anti-Doping Agency, 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 ``United States Anti-Doping Agency 
Reauthorization Act of 2019''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States Anti-Doping Agency (referred to in 
        this Act as the ``USADA'') is the national anti-doping 
        organization in the United States and is charged with managing 
        the anti-doping program, results management processes, drug 
        reference resources, and athlete education for all United 
        States Olympic Committee (referred to in this Act as the 
        ``USOC'') recognized sport national governing bodies, their 
        athletes, and events.
            (2) The USADA also contributes to the advancement of clean 
        sport through scientific research, anti-doping education, and 
        outreach programs, and its vision is to be a guardian of the 
        values and life lessons learned through true sport.
            (3) Participation in youth sports has the potential to 
        equip young athletes with important skills and values necessary 
        for success in life, but it is essential that the culture of 
        youth sports emphasizes those skills and values.
            (4) The USADA's TrueSport program partners with youth sport 
        organizations across the country to promote sportsmanship, 
        character building, and healthy performance through the use of 
        targeted education materials designed to promote a positive 
        youth sport experience.
            (5) By including the promotion of the positive values of 
        youth sport in USADA's mandate, Congress sends a strong signal 
        that the goals of youth sport should include instilling the 
        values of integrity, respect, teamwork, courage, and 
        responsibility in our young athletes.
            (6) Furthermore, because the United States is in a unique 
        position to exert leadership and influence within the global 
        community, it is imperative that USADA be adequately funded for 
        its anti-doping and clean sport programs in preparation for the 
        2028 Summer Olympic Games, which will be held in Los Angeles, 
        California.
            (7) By increasing USADA's authorization of appropriations 
        in fiscal years 2021 through 2027, the Federal Government can 
        empower USADA to directly affect the integrity and well-being 
        of sport, both domestically and on a global scale.

            (2) by adding at the end the following:
            ``(5) promote a positive youth sport experience by using a 
        portion of its funding to provide educational materials on 
        sportsmanship, character building, and healthy performance for 
        athletes, parents, and coaches participating in youth 
        sports.''.
