tv_txt: I 116th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 5373 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES December 9, 2019 Mr. Thompson of California (for himself, Mr. Johnson of Ohio , and Ms. DeGette ) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce A BILL To reauthorize the United States Anti-Doping Agency, and for other purposes.

1. Short title This Act may be cited as the United States Anti-Doping Agency Reauthorization Act of 2019 . 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. 3. Promotion of youth sports Section 701(b) of the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006 ( 21 U.S.C. 2001(b) ) is amended— (1) in paragraph (4), by striking the period at the end and inserting ; and ; and (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. . 4.
