                Federal share of expenditures for routine HIV screening 
                services, the increase in the Federal share applicable 
                under subsection (a)(5) to such services is first 
                applied to reduce the contribution (but not below zero)

        with respect to having a test for HIV within the previous 6 
        months shall not apply to an individual if the individual

        increased risk of acquiring HIV since such previous test.''.

Example Output: Broadband Adoption Act of 2015 Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to direct the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt a final rule establishing support under the Universal Service Fund Lifeline Assistance Program for qualifying low-income consumers in urban and rural areas to purchase broadband Internet access service at reduced charges by reimbursing participating providers for each such consumer served. Requires the program to allow qualifying consumers to elect to apply support from the Lifeline program to basic telephone service, voice telephony service, or broadband Internet access service, regardless of whether the service is purchased as a stand-alone service or in a bundle. Directs the FCC to consult with the federal-state joint board on universal service regarding ways to encourage states to develop programs in conjunction with the Lifeline program. Requires the program to be technology neutral to promote competition from service providers. Requires participating broadband Internet access service providers to obtain FCC authorization to participate in the Lifeline program, but a provider is not required to be an eligible telecommunications carrier to receive support under the program. Directs the FCC to: (1) adopt regulations to prevent receipt of duplicative support under the Lifeline program, and (2) establish a national database to determine consumer eligibility. 

Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Foster Care Mentoring Act of 2003''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Research shows that caring adults can make a difference 
        in children's lives. Forty five percent of mentored teens are 
        less likely to use drugs. Fifty nine percent of mentored teens 
        have better academic performance. Seventy three percent of 
        mentored teens achieve higher goals generally.
            (2) Children that have mentors have better relationships 
        with adults, fewer disciplinary referrals, and more confidence 
        to achieve their goals.
            (3) In 2001, over 163,000 children in the foster care 
        system were under the age of 5 years.
            (4) In 2001, over 124,000 children were under the age of 10 
        when they were removed from their parents or caretakers.
            (5) The International Day of the Child, sponsored by 
        Children United Nations, has served as a great tool to recruit 
        mentors and partner them with needy foster care children.
            (6) On November 10, 2002, as many as 3,000 children will be 
        matched with mentors as a result of the International Day of 
        the Child.
            (7) States should be encouraged to incorporate mentor 
        programs into the delivery of their foster care services. The 
        State of California serves as a great example, matching close 
        to half a million mentors with needy children.
            (8) Mentor programs that serve foster children are unique 
        and require additional considerations including specialized 
        training and support necessary to provide for consistent, long
