SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Iran voted in the United Nations General Assembly on 
        December 10, 1948, to adopt the Universal Declaration of Human 
        Rights, thereby committing to guarantee the ``life, liberty, 
        and security of person'' of all people and rejecting ``cruel, 
        inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment''.
            (2) The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran 
        guarantees certain human rights and fundamental freedoms, 
        including political and civil rights, along with economic, 
        social, and cultural rights, including a prohibition on torture 
        and a guarantee of sentencing according to the law.
            (3) The Islamic Republic of Iran is a party to 4 major 
        United Nations human rights treaties: the Convention on the 
        Rights of the Child (which it ratified on July 13, 1994), the 
        International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of 
        Racial Discrimination (which it ratified on August 29, 1968), 
        and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights 
        and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural 
        Rights (both of which it ratified on June 24, 1975).
            (4) The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is 
        violating its international and constitutional obligations to 
        respect the human rights and fundamental freedoms of its 
        citizens, including by--
                    (A) using torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading 
                treatment or punishment, including flogging, and 
                amputations;
                    (B) carrying out an increasingly high rate of 
                executions in the absence of internationally recognized 
                safeguards, including public executions and executions 
                of juvenile offenders;
                    (C) using stoning as a method of execution and 
                maintaining a high number of persons in prison who 
                continue to face sentences of execution by stoning;
                    (D) carrying out arrests, violent repression, and 
                sentencing of women exercising their right to peaceful 
                assembly, a campaign of intimidation against women's 
                rights defenders, and continuing discrimination against 
                women and girls;
                    (E) permitting or carrying out increasing 
                discrimination and other human rights violations 
                against persons belonging to religious, ethnic, 
                linguistic, or other minorities;
                    (F) imposing ongoing, systematic, and serious 
                restrictions of freedom of peaceful assembly and 
                association and freedom of opinion and expression, 
                including the continuing closures of media outlets, 
                arrests of journalists, and the censorship of 
                expression in online forums such as blogs and websites; 
                and
                    (G) imposing severe limitations and restrictions on 
                freedom of religion and belief, including by carrying 
                out arbitrary arrests, indefinite detentions, and 
                lengthy jail sentences for those exercising their 
                rights to freedom of religion or belief and proposing a 
                provision in a draft penal code that sets out a 
                mandatory death sentence for apostasy, the abandoning 
                of one's faith.
            (5) On June 19, 2009, the United Nations High Commissioner 
        for Human Rights expressed concerns about the increasing number 
        of arrests not in conformity with the law and the illegal use 
        of excessive force in responding to protests following the June 
        12, 2009, elections in Iran, resulting in at least dozens of 
        deaths and hundreds of injuries.
            (6) On August 1, 2009, authorities in the Islamic Republic 
        of Iran began a mass trial of more than 100 individuals in 
        connection with election protests, most of whom were held for 
        weeks, in solitary confinement, with little or no access to 
        their lawyers or families, and many of whom showed signs of 
        torture or abuse.
            (7) The Supreme Leader of Iran issued a statement on 
        October 28, 2009, effectively criminalizing dissent in the 
        aftermath of the national election of June 12, 2009.
            (8) On November 4, 2009, security forces in the Islamic 
        Republic of Iran used brutal force to disperse thousands of 
        protesters, resulting in a number of injuries and arrests, in 
        violation of international standards regarding the 
        proportionate use of force against peaceful demonstrations.
            (9) At least 8 citizens of Iran were killed and an 
        undetermined number were injured on December 27, 2009, when 
        security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran violently broke 
        up peaceful gatherings during the Ashura holiday.
            (10) The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has 
        recently sentenced numerous Iranian citizens to death without 
        due process for politicized crimes relating to the peaceful 
        demonstrations that followed the June 12, 2009, elections, 
        including ``waging war against God'', and has begun carrying 
        out those execution sentences, including the death by hanging 
        of 2 individuals on January 28, 2010.

SEC. 3. IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS ON CERTAIN PERSONS WHO ARE COMPLICIT IN 
              HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES COMMITTED AGAINST CITIZENS OF IRAN OR

        (including a change in ownership) or to the payments thereunder

        any gain or loss, any amount being included in gross income, or 
        any addition to tax that otherwise might result from such 
        modification, but only if the modification is completed prior 
        to the date that is 2 years after the date of the enactment of 
        this Act.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Economic Growth and Price Stability 
Act of 1999''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) during periods of inflation, the United States has 
        experienced a deterioration in its potential economic growth;
            (2) a decline in inflation has been a crucial factor in 
        encouraging recent robust economic growth;
            (3) stable prices facilitate higher sustainable levels of 
        economic growth, investment, and job creation;
            (4) the multiple policy goals of the Full Employment and 
        Balanced Growth Act of 1978 cause confusion and ambiguity about 
        the appropriate role and aims of monetary policy, which can add 
        to volatility in economic activity and financial markets, 
        harming economic growth and costing workers jobs;
            (5) recognizing the dangers of inflation and the 
        appropriate role of monetary policy, political leaders in 
        countries throughout the world have directed the central banks 
        of those countries to institute reforms that focus monetary 
        policy on the single objective of price stability, rather than 
        on multiple policy goals;
            (6) there is a need for the Congress to clarify the proper 
        role of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in 
        economic policymaking, in order to achieve the best environment 
        for long-term economic growth and job creation; and
            (7) because price stability is a key condition for 
        maintaining the highest possible levels of productivity, real 
        incomes, living standards, employment, and global 
        competitiveness, price stability should be the primary long-
        term goal of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 
        System.
    (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States 
that--
            (1) the principal economic responsibilities of the 
        Government are to establish and ensure an environment that is 
        conducive to both long-term economic growth and increases in 
        living standards, by establishing and maintaining free markets, 
        low taxes, respect for private property, and the stable, long-
        term purchasing power of the United States currency; and
            (2) the primary long-term goal of the Board of Governors of 
        the Federal Reserve System (hereafter in this Act referred to 
        as the ``Board'') should be to promote price stability.

SEC. 3. MONETARY POLICY.

        long-term price stability.
    ``(b) Congressional Consultation.--Not later than February 20 and 
July 20 of each year, the Board shall consult with the Congress at

        stability in accordance with subsection (a);

        the Board to gauge the prospects for achieving the objective of 
        price stability; and
            ``(3) the definition, or any modifications thereto, of 
        `price stability' established in accordance with subsection 
        (a)(1).''.
    (b) Compliance Estimate.--
            (1) In general.--Concurrent with the first semiannual 
        hearing required by section 2A(b) of the Federal Reserve Act 
        (as amended by subsection (a) of this section) following the 
        date of enactment of this Act, the Board shall submit to the 
        Congress a written estimate of the length of time it will take 
        for the Board and the Committee to fully achieve price 
        stability. The Board and the Committee shall take into account 
        any potential short-term effects on employment and output in 
        complying with the goal of price stability.
            (2) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
                    (A) the term ``Board'' means the Board of Governors 
                of the Federal Reserve System; and
                    (B) the term ``Committee'' means the Federal Open 
                Market Committee.
