Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Veterans Mental Health Care Capacity 
Enhancement Act of 2005''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Mental health treatment capacity at community-based 
        outpatient clinics remains inadequate and inconsistent, despite 
        the requirement under section 1706(c) of title 38, United 
        States Code, that every primary care health care facility of 
        the Department of Veterans Affairs develop and carry out a plan 
        to meet the mental health care needs of veterans who require 
        such services.
            (2) In 2001, the minority staff of the Committee on 
        Veterans' Affairs of the Senate conducted a survey of 
        community-based outpatient clinics and found that there was no 
        established systemwide baseline of acceptable mental health 
        service levels at such clinics.
            (3) In 2004, the Department of Veterans Affairs workgroup 
        on mental health care, which developed and submitted a 
        Comprehensive Mental Health Strategic Plan to the Secretary of 
        Veterans Affairs, found service and funding gaps within the 
        Department of Veterans Affairs health care system, and made 
        numerous recommendations for improvements. As of May 2005, 
        Congress had not received a final report on the workgroup's 
        findings.
            (4) In February 2005, the Government Accountability Office 
        reported that the Department of Veterans Affairs had not fully 
        met any of the 24 clinical care and education recommendations 
        made in 2004 by the Special Committee on Post-Traumatic Stress 
        Disorder of the Under Secretary for Health, Veterans Health 
        Administration.

    (c) Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.--Section 1706(c) of 
title 38, United States Code, is amended--

            ``(A) for at least 10 percent of all clinic visits by not 
        later than September 30, 2006; and

        than 5 days of inpatient, residential detoxification services 
        onsite or at a nearby contracted or Department facility; and
            ``(B) a case manager is assigned to coordinate follow up 
        outpatient services at each community-based outpatient

Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Daniel Keysar Memorial and Childhood 
Consumer Product Safety Act of 1999''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) On May 12, 1998, Chicago resident Linda Ginzel and her 
        husband, Boaz Keysar, lost their 16-month old son, Danny, when 
        a defective crib collapsed and strangled him at a Chicago day 
        care home. Although the licensed day care facility had been 
        inspected just 8 days before the incident and the crib had been 
        recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission in 1993, the 
        day care home was not aware of the recall and it never removed 
        the defective crib. Danny was the twelfth child to die in this 
        type of defective crib nationwide. Moreover, the thirteenth 
        child was killed in Fair Haven, New Jersey just 3 months later.
            (2) The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is an 
        independent Federal regulatory agency created in 1972 to 
        protect the public against unreasonable risks of injuries and 
        deaths associated with consumer products. Although the CPSC has 
        jurisdiction over about 15,000 types of consumer products, its 
        budget is less than the Food and Drug Administration's budget 
        for regulating animal medicines.
            (3) The budget for the Consumer Product Safety Commission 
        has failed to keep pace with inflation. In fact, when indexed 
        for inflation, the Commission's 1974 budget allocation of $30 
        million would be $98 million today, compared to the current 
        level of $47 million.
            (4) Although manufacturers are required by law to report 
        safety problems with their products, on average only about 260 
        reports are filed each year. Yet, annual CPSC inspections of 
        over 2,000 products consistently revealed close to half the 
        products in violation of CPSC regulations.
            (5) On average, the CPSC recalls about 200-300 products 
        each year, the majority of which are children's products or 
        toys.
            (6) In 1998, 38 million individual units of children's 
        products were recalled.
            (7) Although the CPSC is able to have recalled products 
        removed from retail stores, it is more difficult to have 
        recalled products removed from consumers' homes, the secondary 
        market, including resale stores and child care facilities. On 
        average, only 10 to 30 percent of the products recalled are 
        repaired or returned. The number of products destroyed by the 
        consumer is unknown. As a result, children and other consumers 
        are likely to be injured and some killed by recalled products 
        that have not been returned, destroyed, or repaired.

SEC. 3. RECALLED PRODUCTS.

    The Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2501 et seq.) is amended 
by adding at the end the following:

                          ``recalled products

    ``Sec. 38. (a) Within 180 days from the date of enactment of this 
section, the Commission shall establish a comprehensive list of all 
children's products subject to recall or corrective action under the 
statutes it administers over the last 15 years and shall undertake to 
make the list widely available to the general public, State and local 
governments, and the secondary market, including retail stores and 
child care facilities through its toll free telephone hotline, 
electronic mail, and web site listings. The Commission shall develop a 
strategy for partnering with State and local governments to produce and 
distribute the list under this subsection to individual consumers and 
the secondary market, including resale stores and child care centers.
    ``(b) Section 6(b) shall not apply to Commission announcements of 
corrective actions. All Commission announcements of corrective actions, 
including press releases, shall be identified as `recall'. The 
announcements shall, with respect to the product for which the 
announcements are made--
            ``(1) state clearly and concisely, in the strongest 
        possible language, the nature and extent of the product hazard 
        and any potential risk of injury; and
            ``(2) shall include the number of known deaths, injuries 
        and incidents associated with the product hazard being 
        corrected.
In stating the hazard and risk of injury, the announcement shall use 
clear and unambiguous language intended to motivate consumers to 
participate in the recall. In addition, the Commission shall publicly 
post press releases and other announcements of corrective action, e.g. 
annual report listings in a timely manner.
    ``(c) The Commission shall establish a pilot program to work with 
manufacturers and retailers to obtain the identity of consumers who 
purchase specified juvenile or children's products so the consumer can 
be notified in the event of a product recall.
    ``(d) The Commission shall report to Congress annually on the 
effectiveness of the recalls ordered under section 15(d) for each 
specific product so that the percentage of products sold and subject to 
such recall or corrective action and actually recalled or repaired may 
be determined and made available to the general public through its toll 
free telephone hotline, electronic mail, and website.''.

SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

    The first sentence of section 32(a) of the Consumer Product Safety 
Act (15 U.S.C. 2081) is amended by striking out ``not to exceed'' and 
all that follows and inserting ``$100 million for each of the fiscal 
years 2001, 2002, and 2003.''.

A:
Directs the Commission to: (1) establish a pilot program to work with manufacturers and retailers to obtain the identity of consumers who purchase specified children's products so that such consumers can be notified in the event of a product recall; and (2) report to Congress annually on the effectiveness of recalls for each specific product and to determine the percentage of recalled products which are actually repaired or corrected.
Increases and extends through FY 2003 the authorization of appropriations under the Act.
