Q: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) It is in the national interest that all citizens, 
        including active-duty service members, be allowed to vote in 
        Federal elections.
            (2) Since 1977, active-duty service members serving 
        overseas or on the United States mainland have been excluded 
        from fully participating and voting in both general and runoff 
        Federal elections in American Samoa due to several factors, 
        including local law that requires active duty military members 
        to register in person, limited air and mail service between the 
        U.S. mainland and American Samoa, and delays in the preparation 
        of new ballots in the case of runoff elections.
            (3) American Samoa law requiring uniformed service voters 
        to register to vote in person is contrary to the Uniformed and 
        Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (42 U.S.C. 1973ff et 
        seq.).
            (4) The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act 
        has been in effect for over 15 years, and American Samoa has 
        not addressed this discrepancy between Federal and territorial 
        law, despite notice that the discrepancy exists.
            (5) It is necessary to take additional action to ensure 
        that the votes of uniformed voters are counted in Federal 
        elections conducted in American Samoa and that active duty 
        service members (including reservists called to active duty) do 
        not need to appear in person to register to vote.
            (6) It is necessary to state that the Uniformed and 
        Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act supersedes American Samoa 
        law and American Samoa must comply with this Federal law.
            (7) It is also in the national interest that, to the extent 
        possible, Members of the United States House of Representatives 
        and non-voting Delegates be elected in the first week of 
        November in even-numbered years.
            (8) Since 1980, when the first election for the 
        Congressional Delegate from American Samoa was held, there have 
        been several general elections at which there was no final 
        resolution of who was elected as the Delegate for the next 
        Congress, and run-off elections were required.
            (9) When the outcome of the Delegate election is not 
        resolved until a runoff election is held, a final determination 
        of who the Delegate will be is not made known until late 
        November.
            (10) A delayed outcome may place a newly elected Delegate 
        in a more junior position to other Members of Congress elected 
        on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November in an 
        election year.
            (11) When more than 2 candidates file to run for election 
        for the office of Delegate, holding a primary election to 
        reduce the number of candidates to 2 will greatly increase the 
        likelihood that the general election will produce a candidate 
        who receives a majority of the votes cast.

SEC. 2. PRIMARY ELECTION REQUIRED.

    Section 2(a) of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide that the 
Territory of American Samoa be represented by a nonvoting Delegate to 
the United States House of Representatives, and for other purposes'', 
approved October 31, 1978 (48 U.S.C. 1732(a)) is amended--
            (1) by inserting ``(1)'' after ``(a)''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new paragraphs:
    ``(2) In any general election year when 3 or more eligible 
individuals file by the first Tuesday of July as candidates for the 
office of Delegate, a primary election shall be held on the first 
Tuesday of August of that general election year. If the primary 
election results in 1 candidate receiving more than 50 percent of the 
votes cast, then that candidate shall be the only candidate on the 
ballot for the general election for Delegate that year. If the primary 
election results in no candidate receiving more than 50 percent of the 
votes cast, then the 2 candidates receiving the most votes cast shall 
be on the ballot for the general election year. If there is a tie for 
the 2 candidates receiving the most votes, the names of the 2 
candidates shall be listed on the ballot for that general election 
year.
    ``(3) Candidates for the office of Delegate to the United States 
House of Representatives must file their candidacy not later than the 
first Tuesday of July each year that a general election referred to in 
paragraph (1) is scheduled to be held.''.

SEC. 3. CONFORMING AMENDMENTS.

    Section 4 of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide that the 
Territory of American Samoa be represented by a nonvoting Delegate to 
the United States House of Representatives, and for other purposes'', 
approved October 31, 1978 (48 U.S.C. 1734), is amended by inserting 
``in a general Federal election'' after ``ties between candidates''.

SEC. 4. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    The amendments made by this Act shall take effect on January 1, 
2003.

A: Declares that it is necessary to state that the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act supersedes American Samoa law and American Samoa must comply with it.Requires a primary election to be held in American Samoa on the first Tuesday of August of any general election year when three or more eligible individuals have filed by the first Tuesday of July as candidates for the office of Delegate representing American Samoa in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Childrens' Media Protection Act of 
1995''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On average, a child in the United States is exposed to 
        27 hours of television each week, and some children are exposed 
        to as much as 11 hours of television each day.
            (2) The average American child watches 8,000 murders and 
        100,000 acts of other violence on television by the time the 
        child completes elementary school.
            (3) By the age of 18 years, the average American teenager 
        has watched 200,000 acts of violence on television, including 
        40,000 murders.
            (4) The Times Mirror Center reports that a recent poll of 
        Americans indicates that 72 percent of the American people 
        believe that there is too much violence on television, and, 
        according to a survey by U.S. News and World Report dated May 
        1994, 91 percent of American voters believe that mayhem in the 
        media contributes to violence in real life.
            (5) On several occasions since 1975, The Journal of the 
        American Medical Association has alerted the medical community 
        to the adverse effects of televised violence on child 
        development, including an increase in the level of aggressive 
        behavior and violent behavior among children who view it.
            (6) The National Commission on Children recommended in 1991 
        that producers of television programs exercise greater 
        restraint in the content of programming for children.
            (7) A report of the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation, 
        dated May 1993, indicates that there is an irrefutable 
        connection between the amount of violence depicted in the 
        television programs watched by children and increased 
        aggressive behavior among children.
            (8) It is in the National interest that parents be 
        empowered with the technology to block the viewing of 
        television programs whose content is overly violent or 
        objectionable for other reasons.
            (9) Technology currently exists to permit the manufacture 
        of television receivers that are capable of permitting parents 
        to block television programs having violent or otherwise 
        objectionable content.

SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT OF TELEVISION VIOLENCE RATING CODE.

    Section 303 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 303) is 
amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(v) Prescribe, in consultation with television broadcasters, 
cable operators, appropriate public interest groups, and interested 
individuals from the private sector, rules for rating the level of 
violence in television programming, including rules for the 
transmission by television broadcast systems and cable systems of 
signals containing specifications for blocking violent programming.''.

SEC. 4. REQUIREMENT FOR MANUFACTURE OF TELEVISIONS THAT BLOCK PROGRAMS.

    Section 303 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 303), as 
amended by section 3, is further amended by adding at the end the 
following:
    ``(w) Require, in the case of apparatus designed to receive 
television signals that are manufactured in the United States or 
imported for use in the United States and that have a picture screen 13 
inches or greater in size (measured diagonally), that such apparatus--
            ``(1) be equipped with circuitry designed to enable viewers 
        to block the display of channels, programs, and time slots; and
            ``(2) enable viewers to block display of all programs with 
        a common rating.''.

SEC. 5. SHIPPING OR IMPORTING OF TELEVISIONS THAT BLOCK PROGRAMS.

    (a) Regulations.--Section 330 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 
U.S.C. 330) is amended--
            (1) by redesignating subsection (c) as subsection (d); and
            (2) by adding after subsection (b) the following new 
        subsection (c):
    ``(c)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), no person shall ship 
in interstate commerce, manufacture, assemble, or import from any 
foreign country into the United States any apparatus described in 
section 303(w) of this Act except in accordance with rules prescribed 
by the Commission pursuant to the authority granted by that section.
    ``(2) This subsection shall not apply to carriers transporting 
apparatus referred to in paragraph (1) without trading it.
    ``(3) The rules prescribed by the Commission under this subsection 
shall provide performance standards for blocking technology. Such rules 
shall require that all such apparatus be able to receive the rating 
signals which have been transmitted by way of line 21 of the vertical 
blanking interval and which conform to the signal and blocking 
specifications established by the Commission.
    ``(4) As new video technology is developed, the Commission shall 
take such action as the Commission determines appropriate to ensure 
that blocking service continues to be available to consumers.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 330(d) of such Act, as 
redesignated by subsection (a)(1), is amended by striking ``section 
303(s), and section 303(u)'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``and 
sections 303(s), 303(u), and 303(w)''.

SEC. 6. ELIMINATION OF VIOLENT PROGRAMMING ON TELEVISION DURING CERTAIN 
              HOURS.

        U.S.C. 522).
            ``(2) The term `programming' includes advertisements but 
        does not include bona fide newscasts, bona fide news 
        interviews, bona fide news documentaries, and on-the-spot 
        coverage of bona fide news events.
            ``(3) The term `public telecommunications entity' has the 
        meaning given such term in section 397(12) of the 
        Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 397(12)).''.

Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Social Security Caregiver Credit Act 
of 2014''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that:
            (1) Caregiving is an essential element of family life and a 
        vital service for children, the ill, the disabled, and the 
        elderly.
            (2) The establishment of a caregiver credit would bolster 
        the economic prospects of unpaid caregivers and would provide 
        them with vital retirement security.
            (3) The 2013 Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the 
        Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Federal Disability 
        Insurance Trust Funds concluded that the combined Trust Funds 
        will be able to pay scheduled benefits in full until 2033.
            (4) While there is no immediate crisis, policy options 
        should be considered to extend OASDI solvency, including by 
        eradicating the gender wage gap, increasing overall employment, 
        or increasing the minimum wage.

SEC. 3. DEEMED WAGES FOR CAREGIVERS OF DEPENDENT RELATIVES.

    Title II of the Social Security Act is amended by adding after 
section 234 (42 U.S.C. 434) the following new section:

          ``deemed wages for caregivers of dependent relatives

    ``Sec. 235.  (a) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
            ``(1) The term `qualifying month' means, in connection with 
        an individual, a month during which such individual was engaged 
        for not less than 80 hours in providing care to a dependent 
        relative without monetary compensation. Such term does not 
        include any month ending after the date on which such 
        individual attains retirement age (as defined in section 
        216(l)).
            ``(2) The term `dependent relative' means, in connection 
        with an individual--
                    ``(A) a child, grandchild, niece, or nephew (of 
                such individual or such individual's spouse or domestic 
                partner) who is under the age of 12, or
                    ``(B) a child, grandchild, niece, or nephew (of 
                such individual or such individual's spouse or domestic 
                partner), a parent, aunt, or uncle (of such individual 
                or his or her spouse or domestic partner), or such 
                individual's spouse or domestic partner, if such child, 
                grandchild, niece, nephew, parent, aunt, uncle, spouse, 
                or domestic partner is a chronically dependent 
                individual.
            ``(3)(A) The term `chronically dependent individual' means 
        an individual who--
                    ``(i) is dependent on a daily basis on verbal 
                reminding, physical cueing, supervision, or other 
                assistance provided to the individual by another person 
                in the performance of at least two of the activities of 
                daily living (described in subparagraph (B)), and
                    ``(ii) without the assistance described in clause 
                (i), could not perform such activities of daily living.
            ``(B) The `activities of daily living' referred to in 
        subparagraph (A) are the following:

    ``(b) Deemed Wages of Caregiver.--(1)(A) For purposes of 
determining entitlement to and the amount of any monthly benefit for 
any month after December 2014, or entitlement to and the amount of any 
lump-sum death payment in the case of a death after such month, payable 
under this title on the basis of the wages and self-employment income 
of any individual, and for purposes of section 216(i)(3), such 
individual shall be deemed to have been paid during each qualifying 
month (in addition to wages or self-employment income actually paid to 
or derived by such individual during such month) at an amount per month 
equal to--
            ``(i) in the case of a qualifying month during which no 
        wages or self-employment income were actually paid to or 
        derived by such individual, 50 percent of the average amount of 
        wages and self-employment income otherwise credited to 
        individuals for such month under this title; and
            ``(ii) in the case of any other qualifying month, the 
        excess of the amount determined under clause (i) over \1/2\ of 
        the wages or self-employment income actually paid to or derived 
        by such individual during such month.
    ``(B) In any case in which there are more than 60 qualifying months 
for an individual, only the last 60 of such months shall be taken into 
account for purposes of this section.
    ``(2) Paragraph (1) shall not be applicable in the case of any 
monthly benefit or lump-sum death payment if a larger such benefit or 
payment, as the case may be, would be payable without its application.
    ``(c) Identification Requirements.--A qualifying month shall not be 
taken into account under this section with respect to an individual 
unless such individual provides the Commissioner of Social Security 
with the name and identifying information of the dependent relative 
with respect to whom the individual was engaged in providing care 
during such month, and other information as the Commissioner may 
require to verify the status of the dependent relative, on whatever 
application may be required to obtain benefits under this section.''.

A:
Social Security Caregiver Credit Act of 2014 - Amends title II (Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance) (OASDI) of the Social Security Act with respect to determining entitlement to and the amount of any monthly benefit, including any lump-sum death payment, payable under OASDI on the basis of the wages and self-employment income of any individual. Deems such an individual to have been paid a wage (according to a specified formula) during each month during which the individual was engaged for at least 80 hours in providing care to a dependent relative without monetary compensation for up to five years of such service. Makes this Act inapplicable in the case of any monthly benefit or lump-sum death payment if a larger benefit or payment would be payable without its application.
