[EX Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

     This Act may be cited as ``The American Horse Slaughter Prevention 
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

     Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Horses have played a significant role in the history 
        and culture of the United States.
            (2) Horses in the United States are not raised for food or 
        fiber.
            (3) As a non-food and recreational animal, horses should be 
        protected from slaughter.
            (4) The foreign-owned horse slaughter industry has 
        slaughtered and exported for human consumption over 3 million 
        American horses in the last 2 decades.
            (5) Approximately 55,000 American horses are slaughtered 
        for human consumption annually in the United States by foreign-
        owned slaughterhouses. Tens of thousands of live horses are 
        exported from the United States annually for slaughter.
            (6) Horses slaughtered in these foreign-owned plants in the 
        United States have often been hauled several thousand miles 
        over several days, contrary to acceptable non-slaughter 
        standards for water, food, and rest.
            (7) Many horses shipped to slaughter are young, healthy 
        animals. Others are old, sick, blind, crippled and in otherwise 
        poor condition and are unfit to withstand the rigors of long 
        travel. Horses sent to be slaughtered are often shipped on 
        crowded double deck trucks designed for shorter necked species 
        such as pigs, cattle and sheep, and are forced to travel in a 
        bent position which can result in suffering, injury and death.
            (8) Killing of horses by foreign-owned slaughterhouses in 
        the United States contrasts with the preferable method of 
        killing by chemical euthanasia.
            (9) Horses endure repeated blows to the head with stunning 
        equipment that often does not render the animals unconscious. 
        Some horses proceed still conscious through the remaining 
        stages of slaughter being bled out and dismembered.
            (10) Because horses in America are not food animals, 
        veterinarians commonly prescribe and treat horses with potent 
        drugs that may reside in the horseflesh and be dangerous when 
        consumed by humans.
            (11) Because of the lack of disclosure on the part of the 
        agents and dealers for the slaughter plants people's horses are 
        many times acquired and slaughtered through fraud and 
        misrepresentation. Slaughter also provides a quick and 
        evidence-free outlet for stolen horses.
            (12) The imposition of a ban on the sale of horseflesh for 
        human consumption, regardless of its source, is consistent with 
        the international obligations of the United States because it 
        applies equally to domestic and foreign producers and avoids 
        any discrimination among foreign sources of competing products. 
        Such a ban is also consistent with provisions of international 
        agreements to which the United States is a party that expressly 
        allow for measures designed to protect the health and welfare 
        of animals and to enjoin the use of deceptive trade practices 
        in international or domestic commerce.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

     The purpose of this Act is --
            (1) to prohibit the slaughter of horses for human 
        consumption;

        horseflesh for human consumption;

                    (A) Temporary placement.--After confiscation of a 
                live horse pursuant to this Act, the arresting 
                authorities shall work with animal welfare societies 
                and animal control departments to ensure the temporary 
                placement of the horse with an animal rescue facility 
                that is an organization described in section 501(c)(3) 
                of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and is exempt from 
                taxation under section 501(a) of such Code, while the

                place the horse with a facility that has as its primary 
                purpose the humane treatment of animals, or another 
                suitable location.
                    (B) Bonds.--
                            (i) Posting of bond.--The owner of a horse 
                        confiscated pursuant to this Act may prevent 
                        permanent placement of the horse by the 
                        facility that has temporary custody of the 
                        horse by posting a bond with the court in an 
                        amount the court determines is sufficient to 
                        provide for the necessary care and keeping of 
                        the horse for at least 60 days, including the 
                        day on which the horse was taken into custody. 
                        Such bond shall be filed with the court within 
                        10 days after the horse is confiscated. If a 
                        bond is not so posted, the custodial facility 
                        shall determine permanent placement of the 
                        horse in accordance with reasonable practices 
                        for the humane treatment of animals. If the 
                        animal has not yet been returned to the owner 
                        at the end of the time for which expenses are 
                        covered by the bond, and if the owner desires 
                        to prevent permanent placement of the animal by 
                        the custodial facility, the owner shall post a 
                        new bond with the court within ten days 
                        following the prior bond's expiration. If a new 
                        bond is not so posted, the custodial facility 
                        shall determine permanent placement of the 
                        horse in accordance with reasonable practices 
                        for the humane treatment of animals.
                            (ii) Costs for providing care for horse 
                        deducted from bond.--If a bond has been posted 
                        in accordance with clause (i), the custodial 
                        facility may draw from the bond the actual 
                        reasonable costs incurred by the facility in 
                        providing the necessary care and keeping of the 
                        confiscated horse from the date of the initial 
                        confiscation to the date of final disposition 
                        of the horse in the criminal action charging a 
                        violation of this Act.
                    (C) Permanent placement.--Any horse confiscated 
                pursuant to this Act and not returned to the owner 
                thereafter (except where otherwise provided in 
                paragraph (4)) shall be placed permanently with an 
                animal rescue facility or other suitable facility as 
                described in this section upon--
                            (i) the conviction of the horse's owner 
                        pursuant to this Act;
                            (ii) the owner's surrender of the horse;
                            (iii) the failure of the horse's owner to 
                        post a bond as required in accordance with 
                        subparagraph (B); or
                            (iv) the Secretary's inability to identify 
                        the owner.
            (4) Euthanasia of horses.--
                    (A) Emergency circumstances.--The Secretary or any 
                law enforcement individual charged with enforcing this 
                Act may order or perform the immediate euthanasia of 
                any horse in the field when such horse is injured 
                beyond recovery and suffering irreversibly. Methods 
                used shall be in accordance with the most recent Report 
                of the American Veterinary Medical Association's Panel 
                on Euthanasia (2000) and State and local laws and may 
                include gunshot, but shall not include electrocution or 
                penetrating captive bolt.
                    (B) Horses beyond recovery and unplaceable.--The 
                Secretary or any individual charged with enforcing this 
                Act may order the euthanasia of any confiscated horse 
                when injured, disabled, or diseased beyond recovery or 
                when placement at an animal rescue facility or other 
                suitable facility, as described in this section, is not 
                possible within 90 days of any circumstance as 
                described in section 6(d)(3)(C). An equine or large-
                animal veterinarian shall perform the euthanasia rated 
                ``Acceptable'' for horses in the most recent Report of 
                the American Veterinary Medical Association's Panel on 
                Euthanasia (2000), but shall not include penetrating 
                captive bolt, electrocution, gunshot, or other non-
                chemical means.
    (e) Funding of Animal Rescue Facilities.--
            (1) Grants.--To the extent that funds are made available 
        for this purpose by Acts of appropriation, the Secretary shall 
        make grants to animal rescue facilities described in this 
        section that have given adequate assurances to the Secretary 
        that they are willing to accept horses confiscated pursuant to 
        this Act.
            (2) Penalties, fines, and forfeited property.--Amounts 
        received as penalties, fines, or forfeited property under this

        United States or placed with an animal rescue facility as 
        described in this section.
    (f) Calculation of Violations.--For purposes of this section, a 
separate offense shall be calculated as follows:
            (1) Each live horse transported, traded, slaughtered, or 
        possessed in violation of this Act shall constitute a separate 
        offense.
            (2) Every four hundred pounds or less of confiscated 
        horseflesh shall constitute a separate offense.

Availability Act of 1993''.

SEC. 2. INSURED DEPOSITORY INSTITUTION CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS FOR 
              TRANSFERS OF MORTGAGE LOANS.

    (a) Accounting Principles.--The accounting principles applicable to 
the transfer of a mortgage loan with recourse contained in reports or 
statements required to be filed with Federal banking agencies by a 
qualified insured depository institution shall be consistent with 
generally accepted accounting principles.
    (b) Capital and Reserve Requirements.--With respect to the transfer 
of a mortgage loan with recourse that is a sale under generally 
accepted accounting principles, each qualified insured depository 
institution shall--
            (1) establish and maintain a reserve equal to an amount 
        sufficient to meet the reasonable estimated liability of the 
        institution under the recourse arrangement; and
            (2) treat as an asset (for purposes of applicable capital 
        standards and other capital measures, including risk-based 
        capital requirements) only the maximum amount at risk under the 
        recourse arrangement.
    (c) Qualified Institutions Defined.--An insured depository 
institution is a qualified insured depository institution for purposes 
of this section if, without regard to the accounting principles or 
capital requirements referred to in subsections (a) and (b), the 
institution is--
            (1) well capitalized; or
            (2) with the approval, by regulation or order, of the 
        appropriate Federal banking agency, adequately capitalized.
    (d) Aggregate Amount of Recourse.--The total outstanding amount at 
risk with respect to transfers of mortgage loans under subsections (a) 
and (b) (together with the amount at risk under any provisions of law 
substantially similar to subsections (a) and (b)) shall not exceed--
            (1) the amount which is equal to 15 percent of the risk-
        based capital of the institution; or
            (2) such greater amount, as established by the appropriate 
        Federal banking agency by regulation or order.
    (e) Institutions That Cease To Be Qualified or Exceed Aggregate 
Limits.--If an insured depository institution ceases to be a qualified 
insured depository institution or exceeds the limits under subsection 
(d), this section shall remain applicable to any transfer of mortgage 
loans that occurred at a time when the institution was qualified and 
had not exceeded such limit.
    (f) Prompt Corrective Action not Affected.--The capital of an 
insured depository institution shall be computed without regard to this

        subpoena or court order for such period as the court deems 
        appropriate.
            ``(2) Order.--The court shall enter such order if it 
        determines that there is reason to believe that notification of 
        the existence of the administrative subpoena will result in--

                individual;
