Humane Accountability Act

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to jointly report to Congress and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) about assaults, deaths, complaints, and related instances involving immigration detainees. GAO must subsequently issue recommendations to address the reported instances.

The joint report must include information from detention centers related to

detainee deaths while in custody; 

assault or abuse of a detainee while in custody by an officer, staff, or other detainee that requires medical attention;

sexual assault of detainees while in custody and investigative findings from each such assault;

complaints submitted by detainees or their families regarding abuse, sexual assault, staff neglect or retaliation, lack of proper resources or amenities, lack of access to legal counsel, or death; and 

the centers' actions to address and remedy such complaints from detainees or their families.

The report must provide information regarding detention centers operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

The bill requires GAO to provide Congress with a list of recommendations to address the information in the report within 90 days following GAO's receipt of such report.

Health Share Transparency Act of

This bill requires a health care sharing ministry (HCSM) to disclose specific information to individuals enrolling in the HCSM and to designated government agencies. (An HCSM is a faith-based organization with members who share a common set of ethical or religious beliefs and who contribute regular payments to cover the medical expenses of other members.) 
 
The bill requires an HCSM to disclose to an enrolling individual information such as (1) the average out-of-pocket expenses an enrollee incurs, (2) how to file a complaint or appeal a coverage determination, and (3) a list of the HCSM's non-reimbursable items and services. 
 
The bill also requires that an HCSM submit annual financial disclosures and program information to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Internal Revenue Service, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. HHS is required to publicly post this information. 
 
Additionally, health insurance brokers contracting with an HCSM are required to provide an enrolling individual with information about health insurance coverage that is available through Medicare, Medicaid, or a health insurance exchange, as appropriate. 
 
HHS may apply civil monetary penalties to an HCSM that fails to comply with the bill's requirements. 
 
Further, the bill requires the Federal Trade Commission to publicly disclose information about consumer complaints regarding HCSMs.

Policy area: Finance and Financial Sector

Summary:

text: 

Increased Cost of Compliance Modernization Act of 2023 

This bill increases insurance coverage available to structures in high-risk flood areas under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), commonly known as Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) coverage. ICC coverage applies to costs related to flood mitigation requirements for repairs to, or the rebuilding of, flood-damaged structures with existing NFIP coverage.

Currently, ICC coverage is capped at $30,000. The bill increases this amount to $50,000, or 20% of the maximum amount of flood insurance coverage, with additional coverage available of up to $100,000, or 40% of the maximum amount of coverage.

The bill removes the cap on ICC premiums and requires the premium amount to be calculated pursuant to other NFIP rates. Additionally, ICC coverage does not count towards the cap on overall NFIP coverage.

Finally, ICC policyholders are allowed to assign the rights or benefits of this coverage to a governmental agency to satisfy certain cost-sharing requirements applicable to mitigation assistance programs.

Terminate CDC Overreach Act

This bill narrows the authority of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to create regulations on controlling the spread of disease. 

Under current law, the CDC is authorized to create regulations generally relating to quarantine and isolation to prevent the spread of disease between people. This includes regulations applicable to individuals traveling interstate that are reasonably believed to have a disease in a 
qualifying stage
, meaning the disease is contagious or would likely cause a public health emergency if transmitted. The bill specifies that there must be a positive clinical test, rigorous contact tracing, or clinical presentation of the disease in order for individuals to be considered as having a disease in a qualifying stage for purposes of regulation. The bill also specifies that CDC regulations must relate to preventing the spread of disease between states through the identification, isolation, or destruction of the disease itself. The bill establishes procedures for Congress to expedite consideration of joint resolutions of disapproval for CDC regulations on this topic. 

In addition, the bill prohibits the CDC from creating a new regulation or policy on controlling the spread of disease that is intended to influence the general public unless the CDC publishes with it evidence supporting the measure, including updated science briefs.
