        Treasury shall pay to each possession of the United States 
        which does not have a mirror code tax system amounts estimated 
        by the Secretary of the Treasury as being equal to the 
        aggregate benefits (if any) that would have been provided to 
        residents of such possession by reason of the amendments made 
        by this section if a mirror code tax system had been in effect 
        in such possession. The preceding sentence shall not apply 
        unless the respective possession has a plan, which has been 
        approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, under which such 
        possession will promptly distribute such payments to its 
        residents.

                    (B) who is eligible for a payment under a plan 
                described in paragraph (2).
            (4) Mirror code tax system.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term ``mirror code tax system'' means, with 
        respect to any possession of the United States, the income tax 
        system of such possession if the income tax liability of the 
        residents of such possession under such system is determined by 
        reference to the income tax laws of the United States as if 
        such possession were the United States.
    (c) Administrative Provisions.--
            (1) Definition of deficiency.--Section 6211(b)(4)(A) of the

                the comma at the end of subparagraph (H), and
                    (B) by striking ``or 6428'' in subparagraph (L) and 
                inserting ``6428, or 6428A''.
            (3) Exception from reduction or offset.--Any credit or 
        refund allowed or made to any individual by reason of section 
        6428A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as added by this 
        section) or by reason of subsection (b) of this section shall

              PURPOSES OF EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT.

    (a) In General.--If the earned income of the taxpayer for the 
taxpayer's first taxable year beginning in 2020 is less than the earned 
income of the taxpayer for the preceding taxable year, the credit 
allowed under section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 may, at 
the election of the taxpayer, be determined by substituting---
            (1) such earned income for the preceding taxable year, for
            (2) such earned income for the taxpayer's first taxable 
        year beginning in 2020.
    (b) Earned Income.--
            (1) In general.--For purposes of this section, the term 
        ``earned income'' has the meaning given such term under section 
        32(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
            (2) Application to joint returns.--For purposes of 
        subsection (a), in the case of a joint return, the earned 
        income of the taxpayer for the preceding taxable year shall be 
        the sum of the earned income of each spouse for such preceding 
        taxable year.
    (c) Special Rules.--
            (1) Errors treated as mathematical error.--For purposes of 
        section 6213 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, an incorrect 
        use on a return of earned income pursuant to subsection (a) 
        shall be treated as a mathematical or clerical error.
            (2) No effect on determination of gross income, etc.--
        Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the Internal 
        Revenue Code of 1986 shall be applied without regard to any 
        substitution under subsection (a).
    (d) Treatment of Certain Possessions.--
            (1) Payments to possessions with mirror code tax systems.--
        The Secretary of the Treasury shall pay to each possession of 
        the United States which has a mirror code tax system amounts 
        equal to the loss (if any) to that possession by reason of the 
        application of the provisions of this section (other than this 
        subsection) with respect to section 32 of the Internal Revenue 
        Code of 1986. Such amounts shall be determined by the Secretary 
        of the Treasury based on information provided by the government 
        of the respective possession.
            (2) Payments to other possessions.--The Secretary of the 
        Treasury shall pay to each possession of the United States 
        which does not have a mirror code tax system amounts estimated 
        by the Secretary of the Treasury as being equal to the 
        aggregate benefits (if any) that would have been provided to 
        residents of such possession by reason of the provisions of 
        this section (other than this subsection) with respect to 
        section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 if a mirror 
        code tax system had been in effect in such possession. The 
        preceding sentence shall not apply unless the respective 
        possession has a plan, which has been approved by the Secretary 
        of the Treasury, under which such possession will promptly 
        distribute such payments to its residents.
            (3) Mirror code tax system.--For purposes of this section, 
        the term ``mirror code tax system'' means, with respect to any 
        possession of the United States, the income tax system of such 
        possession if the income tax liability of the residents of such 
        possession under such system is determined by reference to the 
        income tax laws of the United States as if such possession were 
        the United States.
            (4) Treatment of payments.--For purposes of section 1324 of 
        title 31, United States Code, the payments under this section 
        shall be treated in the same manner as a refund due from a 
        credit provision referred to in subsection (b)(2) of such 
        section.

demonstration projects operated pursuant to section 1115 of the Social 
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1315) in conjunction with the COVID-19 public 
health emergency.
    (g) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall authorize

that fails to meet the requirements of section 1115 of the Social 
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1315).

                        previous sentence, in the case of a State that 
                        has a 2-year legislative session, each year of 
                        such session shall be deemed to be a separate 
                        regular session of the State legislature.

        relating to coverage under the Medicaid program under title XIX 
        of the Social Security Act of nonemergency transportation to 
        medically necessary services.

        Secretary pursuant to subsection (a)(1) that the Secretary 
        determines would otherwise have been paid by a group health 
        plan or health insurance issuer (as such terms are defined in 
        section 2791 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300gg-

                calendar days after the date of enactment of this Act.
    (c) Calculation.--
            (1) In general.--The amount of the reimbursement to an 
        eligible health provider under this section with respect to a 
        calendar quarter shall equal--
                    (A) the sum of--
                            (i) 100 percent of the eligible expenses, 
                        as described in subsection (d), of the provider 
                        during the quarter; and
                            (ii) subject to paragraph (3), 60 percent

        (1)(B) for a calendar quarter with respect to an eligible 
        health care provider exceeds the amount determined under

        amount of such difference shall be applied in making the 
        calculation under this subsection, over each subsequent 
        calendar quarter for which the eligible health care provider 
        seeks reimbursement under this section.
            (3) Lost revenue limitation.--If the amount determined 
        under subsection (e) with respect to the lost revenue of an

        revenue (as defined in such subsection) of the provider for the 
        corresponding quarter in 2019, the addend under paragraph 
        (1)(A)(ii), in making the calculation under paragraph (1), is

        of subsection (c)(1)(A)(ii), the lost revenues of an eligible

                    (A) net patient revenue of the provider for the 
                corresponding quarter in 2019 minus net patient revenue 
                of the provider for such quarter; less
                    (B) the savings of the provider during the calendar 
                quarter involved attributable to foregone wages, 
                payroll taxes, and benefits of personnel who were 
                furloughed or laid off by the provider during that 
                quarter.
            (2) Net patient revenue defined.--For purposes of paragraph 
        (1)(A), the term ``net patient revenue'', with respect to an

                quarter for all items and services furnished under a 
                State plan or a waiver of a State plan under title XIX

                received by the provider during the quarter for all 
                items and services.
    (f) Insufficient Funds for a Quarter.--If there are insufficient

        for the corresponding quarter in 2019;
            (6) includes projections of the eligible expenses and lost

SEC. 110203. PROTECTING RENTERS AND HOMEOWNERS FROM EVICTIONS AND 
              FORECLOSURES.

    (a) Eviction Moratorium.--The CARES Act is amended by striking 
section 4024 (15 U.S.C. 9058; Public Law 116-136; 134 Stat. 492) and 
inserting the following new section:

``SEC. 4024. TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON EVICTION FILINGS.

    ``(a) Congressional Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            ``(1) according to the 2018 American Community Survey, 36 
        percent of households in the United States--more than 43 
        million households--are renters;
            ``(2) in 2019 alone, renters in the United States paid $512 
        billion in rent;
            ``(3) according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies of 
        Harvard University, 20.8 million renters in the United States 
        spent more than 30 percent of their incomes on housing in 2018 
        and 10.9 million renters spent more than 50 percent of their 
        incomes on housing in the same year;
            ``(4) according to data from the Department of Labor, more 
        than 30 million people have filed for unemployment since the 
        COVID-19 pandemic began;
            ``(5) the impacts of the spread of COVID-19, which is now 
        considered a global pandemic, are expected to negatively impact 
        the incomes of potentially millions of renter households, 
        making it difficult for them to pay their rent on time; and
            ``(6) evictions in the current environment would increase 
        homelessness and housing instability which would be 
        counterproductive towards the public health goals of keeping 
        individuals in their homes to the greatest extent possible.
    ``(b) Moratorium.--During the period beginning on the date of the 
enactment of this Act and ending 12 months after such date of 
enactment, the lessor of a covered dwelling located in such State may 
not make, or cause to be made, any filing with the court of 
jurisdiction to initiate a legal action to recover possession of the 
covered dwelling from the tenant for nonpayment of rent or other fees 
or charges.
    ``(c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section, the following 
definitions shall apply:
            ``(1) Covered dwelling.--The term `covered dwelling' means 
        a dwelling that is occupied by a tenant--
                    ``(A) pursuant to a residential lease; or
                    ``(B) without a lease or with a lease terminable at 
                will under State law.
            ``(2) Dwelling.--The term `dwelling' has the meaning given 
        such term in section 802 of the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 
        3602) and includes houses and dwellings described in section 
        803(b) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 3603(b)).
    ``(d) Notice to Vacate After Moratorium Expiration Date.--After the 
expiration of the period described in subsection (b), the lessor of a 
covered dwelling may not require the tenant to vacate the covered 
dwelling by reason of nonpayment of rent or other fees or charges 
before the expiration of the 30-day period that begins upon the 
provision by the lessor to the tenant, after the expiration of the 
period described in subsection (b), of a notice to vacate the covered 
dwelling.''.
    (b) Mortgage Relief.--
            (1) Forbearance and foreclosure moratorium for covered 
        mortgage loans.--Section 4022 of the CARES Act (15 U.S.C. 9056) 
        is amended--
                    (A) by striking ``Federally backed mortgage loan'' 
                each place such term appears and inserting ``covered 
                mortgage loan''; and
                    (B) in subsection (a)--
                            (i) by amending paragraph (2) to read as 
                        follows:
            ``(2) Covered mortgage loan.--The term `covered mortgage 
        loan' means any credit transaction that is secured by a 
        mortgage, deed of trust, or other equivalent consensual 
        security interest on a 1- to 4-unit dwelling or on residential 
        real property that includes a 1- to 4-unit dwelling, except 
        that it shall not include a credit transaction under an open 
        end credit plan other than a reverse mortgage.''; and
                            (ii) by adding at the end the following:
            ``(3) Covered period.--With respect to a loan, the term 
        `covered period' means the period beginning on the date of 
        enactment of this Act and ending 12 months after such date of 
        enactment.''.
            (2) Automatic forbearance for delinquent borrowers.--

            ``(5) Communication with borrowers with a disability.--Upon 
        request from a borrower, servicers shall communicate with 
        borrowers who have a disability in the borrower's preferred

        term `disability' has the meaning given that term in the Fair 
        Housing Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or 
        the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.''; and

        prevents the borrower from making timely payments on the 
        covered mortgage loan due, directly or indirectly, to the 
        COVID-19 emergency. An oral request for forbearance and oral 
        affirmation of hardship by the borrower shall be sufficient for 
        the borrower to obtain or extend a forbearance.''.

                Law 115-334) legalized hemp by removing it from the 
                definition of ``marihuana'' under the Controlled 
                Substances Act;

        later than the end of the 90-day period beginning on the date 
        of enactment of this Act, the Federal banking regulators shall

                CBD products, and other hemp-derived cannabinoid 
                products, and the legality of engaging in financial 
                services with businesses selling hemp, hemp-derived CBD

                financial institutions to follow when providing 
                financial services and merchant processing services to

        as such provisions apply to cannabis.
            (2) Rule of application.--In applying the provisions of 
        this section described under paragraph (1) to hemp, the 
        definition of ``cannabis-related legitimate business'' shall be 
        treated as excluding any requirement to engage in activity 
        pursuant to the law of a State or political subdivision 
        thereof.
            (3) Hemp defined.--In this subsection, the term ``hemp''

                        entity described in clause (iii) or (iv),

                        an appropriate Federal banking agency 
                        determines that the notice required under

        for employees, notwithstanding the provisions of law and the 
        Executive orders listed in paragraph (7), not later than 7 days 
        after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Labor

        until the date on which the final standard promulgated under 
        subsection (b) is in effect.
            (5) State plan adoption.--With respect to a State with a 
        State plan that has been approved by the Secretary of Labor

               TITLE I--COVID-19 PRICE GOUGING PREVENTION

SEC. 130101. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``COVID-19 Price Gouging Prevention 
Act''.

SEC. 130102. PREVENTION OF PRICE GOUGING.

    (a) In General.--For the duration of a public health emergency 
declared pursuant to section 319 of the Public Health Service Act (42 
U.S.C. 247d) as a result of confirmed cases of 2019 novel coronavirus 
(COVID-19), including any renewal thereof, it shall be unlawful for any 
person to sell or offer for sale a good or service at a price that--
            (1) is unconscionably excessive; and
            (2) indicates the seller is using the circumstances related 
        to such public health emergency to increase prices 
        unreasonably.
    (b) Factors for Consideration.--In determining whether a person has 
violated subsection (a), there shall be taken into account, with 
respect to the price at which such person sold or offered for sale the 
good or service, factors that include the following:
            (1) Whether such price grossly exceeds the average price at 
        which the same or a similar good or service was sold or offered 
        for sale by such person--
                    (A) during the 90-day period immediately preceding 
                January 31, 2020; or
                    (B) during the period that is 45 days before or 
                after the date that is one year before the date such 
                good or service is sold or offered for sale under 
                subsection (a).
            (2) Whether such price grossly exceeds the average price at 
        which the same or a similar good or service was readily 
        obtainable from other similarly situated competing sellers 
        before January 31, 2020.
            (3) Whether such price reasonably reflects additional 
        costs, not within the control of such person, that were paid, 
        incurred, or reasonably anticipated by such person, or 
        reasonably reflects the profitability of forgone sales or 
        additional risks taken by such person, to produce, distribute, 
        obtain, or sell such good or service under the circumstances.
    (c) Enforcement.--
            (1) Enforcement by federal trade commission.--
                    (A) Unfair or deceptive acts or practices.--A

                the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C.

                duties as though all applicable terms and provisions of 
                the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.) 
                were incorporated into and made a part of this section.

                the complaint in the action, except in any case in 
                which such prior notice is not feasible, in which case 
                the attorney general shall serve such notice 
                immediately upon instituting such action. The 
                Commission shall have the right--

                is pending.--If the Commission has instituted a civil 
                action for violation of this section, no State attorney 
                general, or official or agency of a State, may bring an

promulgate regulations implementing this section.
    (b) Requirements.--The regulations promulgated pursuant to 
subsection (a) shall establish the following:
            (1) Emergency broadband benefit.--During an emergency 
        period, a provider shall provide an eligible household with an 
        internet service offering, upon request by a member of such 
        household. Such provider shall discount the price charged to 
        such household for such internet service offering in an amount 
        equal to the emergency broadband benefit for such household.
            (2) Verification of eligibility.--To verify whether a 
        household is an eligible household, a provider shall either--
                    (A) use the National Lifeline Eligibility Verifier; 
                or
                    (B) rely upon an alternative verification process 
                of the provider, if the Commission finds such process 
                to be sufficient to avoid waste, fraud, and abuse.
            (3) Use of national lifeline eligibility verifier.--The 
        Commission shall--
                    (A) expedite the ability of all providers to access 
                the National Lifeline Eligibility Verifier for purposes 
                of determining whether a household is an eligible 
                household; and
                    (B) ensure that the National Lifeline Eligibility 
                Verifier approves an eligible household to receive the 
                emergency broadband benefit not later than two days 
                after the date of the submission of information 
                necessary to determine if such household is an eligible 
                household.
            (4) Extension of emergency period.--An emergency period may 
        be extended within a State or any portion thereof if the State, 
        or in the case of Tribal land, a Tribal government, provides 
        written, public notice to the Commission stipulating that an 
        extension is necessary in furtherance of the recovery related 
        to COVID-19. The Commission shall, within 48 hours after 
        receiving such notice, post the notice on the public website of 
        the Commission.
            (5) Reimbursement.--From the Emergency Broadband 
        Connectivity Fund established in subsection (h), the Commission 
        shall reimburse a provider in an amount equal to the emergency 
        broadband benefit with respect to an eligible household that 
        receives such benefit from such provider.
            (6) Reimbursement for connected device.--A provider that, 
        in addition to providing the emergency broadband benefit to an 
        eligible household, supplies such household with a connected 
        device may be reimbursed up to $100 from the Emergency 
        Broadband Connectivity Fund established in subsection (h) for 
        such connected device, if the charge to such eligible household 
        is more than $10 but less than $50 for such connected device, 
        except that a provider may receive reimbursement for no more 
        than one connected device per eligible household.
            (7) No retroactive reimbursement.--A provider may not 
        receive a reimbursement from the Emergency Broadband 
        Connectivity Fund for providing an internet service offering 
        discounted by the emergency broadband benefit, or for supplying 
        a connected device, that was provided or supplied (as the case 
        may be) before the date of the enactment of this Act.
            (8) Certification required.--To receive a reimbursement 
        under paragraph (5) or (6), a provider shall certify to the

                    (B) That each eligible household for which a 
                provider is seeking reimbursement for providing an 
                internet service offering discounted by the emergency 
                broadband benefit--

                                    (I) for such offering, if the

                                    (II) more for such offering than

                        termination fee if such eligible household 
                        elects to enter into a contract to receive such 
                        internet service offering if such household 
                        later terminates such contract; and
                            (iii) was not subject to a mandatory 
                        waiting period for such internet service 
                        offering based on having previously received 
                        broadband internet access service from such 
                        provider.
                    (C) A description of the process used by the 
                provider to verify that a household is an eligible 
                household, if the provider elects an alternative 
                verification process under paragraph (2)(B), and that 
                such verification process was designed to avoid waste, 
                fraud, and abuse.

        requirements to ensure that providers are in compliance with

Act. The Commission shall enforce this section and the regulations 
promulgated under this section in the same manner, by the same means,

SEC. 130601. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) According to the American Foundation for Suicide 
        Prevention, on average, there are 129 suicides per day in the 
        United States.
            (2) To prevent future suicides, it is critical to 
        transition the cumbersome, existing 10-digit National Suicide 
        Hotline to a universal, easy-to-remember, 3-digit phone number 
        and connect people in crisis with life-saving resources.
            (3) It is essential that people in the United States have 
        access to a 3-digit national suicide hotline across all 
        geographic locations.
            (4) The designated suicide hotline number will need to be 
        both familiar and recognizable to all people in the United 
        States.

 TITLE VII--COVID-19 COMPASSION AND MARTHA WRIGHT PRISON PHONE JUSTICE

SEC. 130701. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Prison, jails, and other confinement facilities in the 
        United States have unique telecommunications needs due to 
        safety and security concerns.
            (2) Unjust and unreasonable charges for telephone and 
        advanced communications services in confinement facilities 
        negatively impact the safety and security of communities in the 
        United States by damaging relationships between incarcerated 
        persons and their support systems, thereby exacerbating 
        recidivism.
            (3) The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly intensified these 
        concerns. Jails and prisons have become epicenters for the 
        spread of the virus, with incarcerated persons concentrated in 
        small, confined spaces and often without access to adequate 
        health care. At Cook County jail alone, hundreds of 
        incarcerated persons and jail staff have tested positive for 
        the virus since its outbreak.
            (4) To prevent the spread of the virus, many jails and 
        prisons across the country suspended public visitation, leaving 
        confinement facility communications services as the only way 
        that incarcerated persons can stay in touch with their 
        families.
            (5) All people in the United States, including anyone who 
        pays for confinement facility communications services, should 
        have access to communications services at charges that are just 
        and reasonable.
            (6) Unemployment has risen sharply as a result of the 
        COVID-19 pandemic, straining the incomes of millions of 
        Americans and making it even more difficult for families of 
        incarcerated persons to pay the high costs of confinement 
        facility communications services.
            (7) Certain markets for confinement facility communications 
        services are distorted due to reverse competition, in which the 
        financial interests of the entity making the buying decision 
        (the confinement facility) are aligned with the seller (the 
        provider of confinement facility communications services) and 
        not the consumer (the incarcerated person or a member of his or 
        her family). This reverse competition occurs because site 
        commission payments to the confinement facility from the 
        provider of confinement facility communications services are 
        the chief criterion many facilities use to select their 
        provider of confinement facility communications services.
            (8) Charges for confinement facility communications 
        services that have been shown to be unjust and unreasonable are 
        often a result of site commission payments that far exceed the 
        costs incurred by the confinement facility in accommodating 
        these services.
            (9) Unjust and unreasonable charges have been assessed for 
        both audio and video services and for both intrastate and 
        interstate communications from confinement facilities.
            (10) Though Congress enacted emergency legislation to allow 
        free communications in Federal prisons during the pandemic, it 
        does not cover communications to or from anyone incarcerated in 
        State and local prisons or jails.
            (11) Mrs. Martha Wright-Reed led a campaign for just 
        communications rates for incarcerated people for over a decade.
            (12) Mrs. Wright-Reed was the lead plaintiff in Wright v. 
        Corrections Corporation of America, CA No. 00-293 (GK) (D.D.C. 
        2001).
            (13) That case ultimately led to the Wright Petition at the 
        Federal Communications Commission, CC Docket No. 96-128 
        (November 3, 2003).
            (14) As a grandmother, Mrs. Wright-Reed was forced to 
        choose between purchasing medication and communicating with her 
        incarcerated grandson.
            (15) Mrs. Wright-Reed passed away on January 18, 2015, 
        before fully realizing her dream of just communications rates 
        for all people.

SEC. 130702. REQUIREMENTS FOR CONFINEMENT FACILITY COMMUNICATIONS 
              SERVICES, DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND OTHER TIMES.

    (a) In General.--Section 276 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 
U.S.C. 276) is amended by adding at the end the following:

                classification, or regulation that is unjust or 
                unreasonable is declared to be unlawful.
                    ``(B) Rulemaking required.--Not later than 18 
                months after the date of the enactment of this

                for the provision of confinement facility 
                communications services, rates and ancillary service 
                charges that are just and reasonable, which shall be 
                the maximum such rates and charges that a provider of

                that are just and reasonable, the Commission shall 
                adopt such rates and charges based on the average

        contribute to the composite plan component of the plan;

    (a) Accommodations Described.--
            (1) Designation of ballot pickup and collection 
        locations.--Given the widespread lack of residential mail 
        delivery in Indian Country, an Indian Tribe may designate 
        buildings as ballot pickup and collection locations with 
        respect to an election for Federal office at no cost to the 
        Indian Tribe. An Indian Tribe may designate one building per 
        precinct located within Indian lands. The applicable State or 
        political subdivision shall collect ballots from those 
        locations. The applicable State or political subdivision shall 
        provide the Indian Tribe with accurate precinct maps for all 
        precincts located within Indian lands 60 days before the 
        election.
            (2) Provision of mail-in and absentee ballots.--The State 
        or political subdivision shall provide mail-in and absentee 
        ballots with respect to an election for Federal office to each 
        individual who is registered to vote in the election who 
        resides on Indian lands in the State or political subdivision 
        involved without requiring a residential address or a mail-in 
        or absentee ballot request.
            (3) Use of designated building as residential and mailing 
        address.--The address of a designated building that is a ballot 
        pickup and collection location with respect to an election for 
        Federal office may serve as the residential address and mailing 
        address for voters living on Indian lands if the tribally 
        designated building is in the same precinct as that voter. If 
        there is no tribally designated building within a voter's 
        precinct, the voter may use another tribally designated 
        building within the Indian lands where the voter is located. 
        Voters using a tribally designated building outside of the 
        voter's precinct may use the tribally designated building as a 
        mailing address and may separately designate the voter's 
        appropriate precinct through a description of the voter's 
        address, as specified in section 9428.4(a)(2) of title 11, Code 
        of Federal Regulations.
            (4) Language accessibility.--In the case of a State or 
        political subdivision that is a covered State or political 
        subdivision under section 203 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 
        (52 U.S.C. 10503), that State or political subdivision shall 
        provide absentee or mail-in voting materials with respect to an 
        election for Federal office in the language of the applicable 
        minority group as well as in the English language, bilingual 
        election voting assistance, and written translations of all 
        voting materials in the language of the applicable minority 
        group, as required by section 203 of the Voting Rights Act of 
        1965 (52 U.S.C. 10503), as amended by subsection (b).
            (5) Clarification.--Nothing in this section alters the 
        ability of an individual voter residing on Indian lands to 
        request a ballot in a manner available to all other voters in 
        the State.

premium pay under subsection (b).

              TITLE VII--ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT PROVISIONS

SEC. 190701. HOME ENERGY AND WATER SERVICE CONTINUITY.

    Any entity receiving financial assistance pursuant to any division 
of this Act shall, to the maximum extent practicable, establish or 
maintain in effect policies to ensure that no home energy service or 
public water system service to a residential customer, which is 
provided or regulated by such entity, is or remains disconnected or 
interrupted during the emergency period described in section 
1135(g)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act because of nonpayment, and all 
reconnections of such public water system service are conducted in a 
manner that minimizes risk to the health of individuals receiving such 
service. For purposes of this section, the term ``home energy service'' 
means a service to provide home energy, as such term is defined in 
section 2603 of the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Act of 1981, or 
service provided by an electric utility, as such term is defined in 
section 3 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, and 
the term ``public water system'' has the meaning given that term in 
section 1401 of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Nothing in this section 
shall be construed to require forgiveness of any debt incurred or owed 
to an entity or to absolve an individual of any obligation to an entity 
for service, nor to preempt any State or local law or regulation 
governing entities that provide such services to residential customers.

charged to such households for such services.
    (c) Nonduplication of Effort.--In carrying out this section, the

        than 10 percent of the amounts appropriated pursuant to this 
        section for allotment to States and Indian Tribes based on the 
        economic disruptions to the States and Indian Tribes resulting 
        from the emergency described in the emergency declaration 
        issued by the President on March 13, 2020, pursuant to section

                   TITLE X--JABARA-HEYER NO HATE ACT

SEC. 191001. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Jabara-Heyer National Opposition 
to Hate, Assault, and Threats to Equality Act of 2020'' or the 
``Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act''.

SEC. 191002. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The incidence of violence known as hate crimes or 
        crimes motivated by bias poses a serious national problem.
            (2) According to data obtained by the Federal Bureau of 
        Investigation, the incidence of such violence increased in 
        2017, the most recent year for which data is available.
            (3) In 1990, Congress enacted the Hate Crime Statistics Act 
        (Public Law 101-275; 28 U.S.C. 534 note) to provide the Federal 
        Government, law enforcement agencies, and the public with data 
        regarding the incidence of hate crime. The Hate Crimes 
        Statistics Act and the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate 
        Crimes Prevention Act (division E of Public Law 111-84; 123 
        Stat. 2835) have enabled Federal authorities to understand and, 
        where appropriate, investigate and prosecute hate crimes.
            (4) A more complete understanding of the national problem 
        posed by hate crime is in the public interest and supports the 
        Federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence 
        referenced in section 249(b)(1)(C) of title 18, United States 
        Code.
            (5) However, a complete understanding of the national 
        problem posed by hate crimes is hindered by incomplete data 
        from Federal, State, and local jurisdictions through the 
        Uniform Crime Reports program authorized under section 534 of 
        title 28, United States Code, and administered by the Federal 
        Bureau of Investigation.
            (6) Multiple factors contribute to the provision of 
        inaccurate and incomplete data regarding the incidence of hate 
        crime through the Uniform Crime Reports program. A significant 
        contributing factor is the quality and quantity of training 
        that State and local law enforcement agencies receive on the 
        identification and reporting of suspected bias-motivated 
        crimes.
            (7) The problem of crimes motivated by bias is sufficiently 
        serious, widespread, and interstate in nature as to warrant 
        Federal financial assistance to States and local jurisdictions.
            (8) Federal financial assistance with regard to certain 
        violent crimes motivated by bias enables Federal, State, and 
        local authorities to work together as partners in the 
        investigation and prosecution of such crimes.

                      TITLE XI--PRISONS AND JAILS

SEC. 191101. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Pandemic Justice Response Act''.

SEC. 191102. EMERGENCY COMMUNITY SUPERVISION ACT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) As of the date of introduction of this Act, the novel 
        coronavirus has spread to all 50 States, the District of 
        Columbia, and 3 territories.
            (2) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have 
        projected that between 160,000,000 and 214,000,000 people could 
        be infected by the novel coronavirus in the United States over 
        the course of the pandemic.
            (3) Although the United States has less than 5 percent of 
        the world's population, the United States holds approximately 
        21 percent of the world's prisoners and leads the world in the 
        number of individuals incarcerated, with nearly 2,200,000 
        people incarcerated in State and Federal prisons and local 
        jails.
            (4) Studies have shown that individuals age out of crime 
        starting around 25 years of age, and released individuals over 
        the age of 50 have a very low recidivism rate.
            (5) According to public health experts, incarcerated 
        individuals are particularly vulnerable to being gravely 
        impacted by the novel corona virus pandemic because--
                    (A) they have higher rates of underlying health 
                issues than members of the general public, including 
                higher rates of respiratory disease, heart disease, 
                diabetes, obesity, HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, 
                hepatitis, and other conditions that suppress immune 
                response; and
                    (B) the close conditions and lack of access to 
                hygiene products in prisons make these institutions 
                unusually susceptible to viral pandemics.
            (6) The spread of communicable disease in the United States 
        generally constitutes a serious, heightened threat to the 
        safety of incarcerated individuals, and there is a serious 
        threat to the general public that prisons may become incubators 
        of community spread of communicable viral disease.

            (2) Exceptions.--
                    (A) Bureau of prisons.--In carrying out paragraph 
                (1)(A), the Director--
                            (i) may not place in community supervision 
                        any individual determined, by clear and 
                        convincing evidence, to be likely to pose a 
                        specific and substantial risk of causing bodily 
                        injury to or using violent force against the

                        date on which the national emergency relating 
                        to a communicable disease expires, shall 
                        provide a report to Congress documenting--
                                    (I) the demographic data (including 
                                race, gender, age, offense of 
                                conviction, and criminal history level) 
                                of the individuals denied placement in 
                                community supervision under clause (i); 
                                and
                                    (II) the justification for the 
                                denials described in subclause (I).
                    (B) District courts.--In carrying out paragraph 
                (1)(B), each district court of the United States--
                            (i) shall conduct an immediate and 
                        expedited review of the detention orders of all 
                        covered individuals in the custody and care of 
                        the United States Marshals Service, which may 
                        be conducted sua sponte and ex parte, without--
                                    (I) appearance by the defendant or 
                                any party; or
                                    (II) requiring a petition, motion, 
                                or other similar document to be filed;
                            (ii) may not place in community supervision 
                        any individual if the court determines, after a 
                        hearing and the attorney for the Government 
                        shows by clear and convincing evidence based on 
                        individualized facts, that detention is 
                        necessary because the individual's release will 
                        pose a specific and substantial risk that the 
                        individual will cause bodily injury or use 
                        violent force against the person of another and 
                        that no conditions of release will reasonably 
                        mitigate that risk;
                            (iii) in carrying out clauses (i) and (ii), 
                        may--
                                    (I) rely on evidence presented in 
                                prior court proceedings; and
                                    (II) if the court determines it 
                                necessary, request additional 
                                information from the parties to make 
                                the determination.
            (3) Limitation on community supervision placement.--In 
        placing covered individuals into community supervision under 
        this section, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons and the 
        district court of the United States for each judicial district 
        shall take into account and prioritize placements that enable 
        adequate social distancing, which include home confinement or 
        other forms of low in-person-contact supervised release.
    (d) Limitation on Pre-trial Detention.--
            (1) No bond conditions on release.--Notwithstanding section 
        3142 of title 18, United States Code, beginning on the date on 
        which a national emergency relating to a communicable disease 
        is declared and ending on the date that is 60 days after such 
        national emergency expires or is terminated, in imposing 
        conditions of release, the judicial officer may not require 
        payment of cash bail, proof of ability to pay an unsecured 
        bond, execution of a bail bond, a solvent surety to co-sign a 
        secured or unsecured bond, or posting of real property.
            (2) Limitation.--
                    (A) In general.--Beginning on the date on which a 
                national emergency relating to a communicable disease 
                is declared and ending on the date that is 60 days 
                after such national emergency expires or is terminated, 
                at any initial appearance hearing, detention hearing, 
                hearing on a motion for pretrial release, or any other 
                hearing where the attorney for the Government is 
                seeking the detention or continued detention of any 
                individual, the judicial officer shall order the 
                pretrial release of the individual on personal 
                recognizance or on a condition or combination of 
                conditions under section 3142(c) of title 18, United 
                States Code, unless the attorney for the Government 
                shows by clear and convincing evidence based on 
                individualized facts that detention is necessary 
                because the individual's release will pose a specific 
                and substantial risk that the individual will cause 
                bodily injury or use violent force against the person 
                of another and that no conditions of release will 
                reasonably mitigate that risk.
                    (B) Required consideration of certain factors.--If 
                the judicial officer finds that the attorney for the 
                Government has made the requisite showing under 
                subparagraph (A), the judicial officer shall take into 
                consideration, in determining whether detention is 
                necessary--
                            (i) whether the individual's age or medical 
                        condition renders them especially vulnerable; 
                        and
                            (ii) whether detention will compromise the 
                        individual's access to adequate medical 
                        treatment, access to medications, or ability to 
                        privately consult with counsel and meaningfully 
                        prepare a defense.
                    (C) Juveniles.--
                            (i) In general.--Beginning on the date on 
                        which a national emergency relating to a 
                        communicable disease is declared and ending on 
                        the date that is 60 days after such national 
                        emergency expires or is terminated, 
                        notwithstanding sections 5031 through 5035 of 
                        title 18, United States Code, and except as 
                        provided under clause (ii), in the case of a 
                        juvenile alleged to have committed an act of 
                        juvenile delinquency, the judicial officer 
                        shall release the juvenile to their parent, 
                        guardian, custodian, or other responsible party 
                        (including the director of a shelter-care 
                        facility) upon their promise to bring such 
                        juvenile before the appropriate court when 
                        requested by the judicial officer.
                            (ii) Exception.--A juvenile alleged to have 
                        committed an act of juvenile delinquency may be 
                        detained pending trial only if, at a hearing at 
                        which the juvenile is represented by counsel, 
                        the attorney for the Government shows by clear 
                        and convincing evidence based on individualized 
                        facts that detention is necessary because the 
                        juvenile's release will pose a specific and 
                        substantial risk that the juvenile will use 
                        violent force against a reasonably identifiable 
                        person and that no conditions of release will 
                        reasonably mitigate that risk, except that in 
                        no case may a judicial officer order the 
                        detention of a juvenile if it will compromise 
                        the juvenile's access to adequate medical 
                        treatment, access to medications, or ability to 
                        privately consult with counsel and meaningfully 
                        prepare a defense.
                            (iii) Least restrictive detention.--In the 
                        case that the judicial officer orders the 
                        detention of a juvenile under clause (ii), the 
                        judicial officer shall order the detention of 
                        the juvenile in the least restrictive and 
                        safest environment possible, taking the 
                        national emergency relating to a communicable 
                        disease into consideration.
                            (iv) Contents of detention order.--In the 
                        case that the judicial officer orders the 
                        detention of a juvenile under clause (ii), the 
                        judicial officer shall issue a written 
                        detention order that includes--
                                    (I) findings of fact;
                                    (II) the reasons for the detention;
                                    (III) a description of the risk 
                                identified under clause (ii);
                                    (IV) an explanation of why no 
                                conditions will reasonably mitigate the 
                                risk identified under clause (ii);
                                    (V) a statement that detention will 
                                not compromise the juvenile's access to 
                                adequate medical treatment, access to 
                                medications, or ability to privately 
                                consult with counsel and meaningfully 
                                prepare a defense; and
                                    (VI) a statement establishing that 
                                the detention environment is the least 
                                restrictive and safest possible in 
                                accordance with the requirement under 
                                clause (iii).
    (e) Limitation on Supervised Release.--Beginning on the date on 
which a national emergency relating to a communicable disease is 
declared and ending on the date that is 60 days after such national 
emergency expires, the Office of Probation and Pretrial Services of the 
Administrative Office of the United States Courts shall take measures 
to prevent the spread of the communicable disease among individuals 
under supervision by--
            (1) suspending the requirement that individuals determined 
        to be a lower risk of reoffending, or any other individuals 
        determined to be appropriate by the supervising probation 
        officer, report in person to their probation or parole officer;
            (2) identifying individuals who have successfully completed 
        not less than 18 months of supervision and transferring such 
        individuals to administrative supervision or petitioning the 
        court to terminate supervision, as appropriate; and
            (3) suspending the request for detention and imprisonment 
        as a sanction for violations of probation, supervised release, 
        or parole.
    (f) Prohibition.--No individual who is granted placement in 
community supervision, termination of supervision, placement on 
administrative supervision, or pre-trial release shall be re-
incarcerated, placed on supervision or active supervision, or ordered 
detained pre-trial only as a result of the expiration of the national 
emergency relating to a communicable disease.
    (g) Prohibition on Technical Violations and Certain Mandatory 
Revocations of Probation or Supervised Release.--
            (1) Resentencing in cases of probation and supervised 
        release.--
                    (A) In general.--Beginning on the date on which a 
                national emergency relating to a communicable disease 
                is declared and ending on the date that is 60 days 
                after such national emergency expires, and 
                notwithstanding section 3582(b) of title 18, United 
                States Code, a court shall order the resentencing of a 
                defendant who is serving a term of imprisonment 
                resulting from a revocation of probation, or supervised 
                release for a Grade C violation for conduct under 
                section 7B1.1(c)(3)(B) of the United States Sentencing

                    (B) Resentencing.--The court shall order the 
                resentencing of a defendant described in subparagraph 
                (A) as follows:
                            (i) In the case of a revoked sentence of 
                        probation, the court shall resentence the 
                        defendant to probation, the duration of which 
                        shall be equal to the period of time remaining 
                        on the term of probation originally imposed at 
                        the time the defendant was most recently placed 
                        in custody, unless the court determines that 
                        decreasing the length of the term of probation 
                        is in the interest of justice.
                            (ii) In the case of a revoked term of 
                        supervised release, the court shall continue 
                        the defendant on supervised release, the 
                        duration of which shall be equal to the period 
                        of time the defendant had remaining on 
                        supervised release when the defendant was most 
                        recently placed in custody, unless the court 
                        determines that decreasing the term of 
                        supervised release is in the interest of 
                        justice.

                    (A) In general.--Beginning on the date on which a

                is declared and ending on the date that is 60 days 
                after such national emergency expires, the court shall 
                order the resentencing of a defendant who is serving a 
                term of imprisonment resulting from a technical 
                violation of the defendant's parole.
                    (B) Resentencing.--The court shall resentence the 
                defendant to parole, the duration of which shall be 
                equal to the period of time remaining on the 
                defendant's term of parole at the time the defendant 
                was most recently placed in custody, unless the court 
                determines that decreasing the length of the term of 
                parole is in the interest of justice.
            (3) Hearing.--The court may grant, but not deny, a motion 
        without a hearing under this section.
            (4) No mandatory revocation.--

                is declared and ending on the date that is 60 days

                States a temporary policy change suspending mandatory 
                revocation of probation or supervised release for 
                refusal to comply with drug testing.

SEC. 191107. COVID-19 CORRECTIONAL FACILITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACT OF 
              2020.

    Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 
(34 U.S.C. 10101 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the 
following:

      ``PART OO--PANDEMIC CORRECTIONAL FACILITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE

``SEC. 3061. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

    ``(a) Immediate Release of Vulnerable and Low-Risk Individuals.--
The purpose of the grant program under section 3062 is to provide for 
the testing, initiation and transfer to treatment in the community, and 
provision of services in the community, by States and units of local 
government as they relate to preventing, detecting, and stopping the 
spread of COVID-19 in correctional facilities.
    ``(b) Pretrial Citation and Release.--
            ``(1) Findings.--Congress finds as follows:
                    ``(A) With the dramatic growth in pretrial 
                detention resulting in county and city correctional 
                facilities regularly exceeding capacity, such 
                correctional facilities may serve to rapidly increase 
                the spread of COVID-19, as facilities that hold large 
                numbers of individuals in congregant living situations 
                may promote the spread of COVID-19.
                    ``(B) While individuals arrested and processed at 
                local correctional facilities may only be held for 
                hours or days, exposure to large number of individuals 
                in holding cells and courtrooms promotes the spread of 
                COVID-19.
                    ``(C) Pretrial detainees and individuals in 
                correctional facilities are then later released into 
                the community having being exposed to COVID-19.
            ``(2) Purpose.--The purpose of the grant program under 
        section 3065 is to substantially increase the use of risk-based 
        citation release for all individuals who do not present a 
        public safety risk.

``SEC. 3062. IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF VULNERABLE AND LOW-RISK INDIVIDUALS.

    ``(a) Authorization.--The Attorney General shall carry out a grant 
program to make grants to States and units of local government that 
operate correctional facilities, to establish and implement policies 
and procedures to prevent, detect, and stop the presence and spread of 
COVID-19 among arrestees, detainees, inmates, correctional facility 
staff, and visitors to the facilities.
    ``(b) Program Eligibility.--
            ``(1) In general.--Eligible applicants under this section 
        are States and units of local government that release or have a

             Subtitle B--Global Health Security Act of 2020

SEC. 191503. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Global Health Security Act of 
2020''.

SEC. 191504. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) In December 2009, President Obama released the National 
        Strategy for Countering Biological Threats, which listed as one 
        of seven objectives ``Promote global health security: Increase 
        the availability of and access to knowledge and products of the 
        life sciences that can help reduce the impact from outbreaks of 
        infectious disease whether of natural, accidental, or 
        deliberate origin''.
            (2) In February 2014, the United States and nearly 30 other 
        nations launched the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) to 
        address several high-priority, global infectious disease 
        threats. The GHSA is a multi-faceted, multi-country initiative 
        intended to accelerate partner countries' measurable 
        capabilities to achieve specific targets to prevent, detect, 
        and respond to infectious disease threats, whether naturally 
        occurring, deliberate, or accidental.
            (3) In 2015, the United Nations adopted the Sustainable 
        Development Goals (SDGs), which include specific reference to 
        the importance of global health security as part of SDG 3 
        ``ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all 
        ages'' as follows: ``strengthen the capacity of all countries, 
        in particular developing countries, for early warning, risk 
        reduction and management of national and global health risks''.
            (4) On November 4, 2016, President Obama signed Executive 
        Order 13747, ``Advancing the Global Health Security Agenda to 
        Achieve a World Safe and Secure from Infectious Disease 
        Threats''.
            (5) In October 2017 at the GHSA Ministerial Meeting in 
        Uganda, the United States and more than 40 GHSA member 
        countries supported the ``Kampala Declaration'' to extend the 
        GHSA for an additional 5 years to 2024.
            (6) In December 2017, President Trump released the National 
        Security Strategy, which includes the priority action: ``Detect 
        and contain biothreats at their source: We will work with other 
        countries to detect and mitigate outbreaks early to prevent the 
        spread of disease. We will encourage other countries to invest 
        in basic health care systems and to strengthen global health 
        security across the intersection of human and animal health to 
        prevent infectious disease outbreaks''.
            (7) In September 2018, President Trump released the 
        National Biodefense Strategy, which includes objectives to 
        ``strengthen global health security capacities to prevent local 
        bioincidents from becoming epidemics'', and ``strengthen 
        international preparedness to support international response 
        and recovery capabilities''.

SEC. 191505. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It is the policy of the United States to--
            (1) promote global health security as a core national 
        security interest;
            (2) advance the aims of the Global Health Security Agenda;
            (3) collaborate with other countries to detect and mitigate 
        outbreaks early to prevent the spread of disease;
            (4) encourage other countries to invest in basic resilient 
        and sustainable health care systems; and
            (5) strengthen global health security across the 
        intersection of human and animal health to prevent infectious 
        disease outbreaks and combat the growing threat of 
        antimicrobial resistance.

            Subtitle C--Securing America From Epidemics Act

SEC. 191513. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Due to increasing population and population density, 
        human mobility, and ecological change, emerging infectious 
        diseases pose a real and growing threat to global health 
        security.
            (2) While vaccines can be the most effective tools to 
        protect against infectious disease, the absence of vaccines for 
        a new or emerging infectious disease with epidemic potential is 
        a major health security threat globally, posing catastrophic 
        potential human and economic costs.
            (3) The 1918 influenza pandemic infected 500,000,000 
        people, or about one-third of the world's population at the 
        time, and killed 50,000,000 people--more than died in the First 
        World War.
            (4) The economic cost of an outbreak can be devastating. 
        The estimated global cost today, should an outbreak of the 
        scale of the 1918 influenza pandemic strike, is 5 percent of 
        global gross domestic product.
            (5) Even regional outbreaks can have enormous human costs 
        and substantially disrupt the global economy and cripple 
        regional economies. The 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa 
        killed more than 11,000 and cost $2,800,000,000 in losses in 
        the affected countries alone.
            (6) The ongoing novel coronavirus outbreak reflects the 
        pressing need for quick and effective vaccine and 
        countermeasure development.
            (7) While the need for vaccines to address emerging 
        epidemic threats is acute, markets to drive the necessary 
        development of vaccines to address them--a complex and 
        expensive undertaking--are very often critically absent. Also 
        absent are mechanisms to ensure access to those vaccines by 
        those who need them when they need them.
            (8) To address this global vulnerability and the deficit of 
        political commitment, institutional capacity, and funding, in 
        2017, several countries and private partners launched the 
        Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). CEPI's 
        mission is to stimulate, finance, and coordinate development of 
        vaccines for high-priority, epidemic-potential threats in cases 
        where traditional markets do not exist or cannot create 
        sufficient demand.
            (9) Through funding of partnerships, CEPI seeks to bring 
        priority vaccines candidates through the end of phase II 
        clinical trials, as well as support vaccine platforms that can 
        be rapidly deployed against emerging pathogens.
            (10) CEPI has funded multiple partners to develop vaccine 
        candidates against the novel coronavirus, responding to this 
        urgent, global requirement.
            (11) Support for and participation in CEPI is an important 
        part of the United States own health security and biodefense 
        and is in the national interest, complementing the work of many 
        Federal agencies and providing significant value through global 
        partnership and burden-sharing.
