    This Act may be cited as the ``Adolescent Web Awareness Requires 
Education Act'' or the ``AWARE Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Internet is an invaluable tool that is critical to 
        the ability of the Nation to compete in a global economy. The 
        Internet provides instant access to research and boundless 
        information and connects individuals around the world.
            (2) About 93 percent of youth ages 12 through 17 years use 
        online services regularly and nearly 45 percent of children 
        ages 3 to 11 years will use the Internet on a monthly basis in 
        2009. Eighty-nine percent of teens have a profile on social 
        networking sites. Eighty percent of teens ages 13 through 17 
        years use cell phones, most of which have built-in cameras.
            (3) Bullying in schools can take many forms, including 
        sending insulting, threatening, or offensive messages via 
        Internet sites, email, instant messaging, cell phone text 
        messaging, telephone, or any other electronic messaging system.
            (4) In a recent survey, 1 in 5 teenagers stated that they 
        had used their cell phones to send explicit photos of 
        themselves to a peer, a practice commonly known as ``sexting''. 
        In most States, such conduct can subject young adults to felony 
        child pornography charges and the potential punishment of 
        registering as a sex offender.
            (5) The Internet has facilitated the growth of a 
        multibillion dollar global market for child pornography, far 
        exceeding the capacity of law enforcement to respond at the 
        Federal, State, and local level.
            (6) Internet safety education, coupled with technology 
        tools, is the most effective way to resolve and prevent these 
        crimes and other dangers committed on the Internet and in other 
        new media.
            (7) According to an empirical study of 1,379 fourth grade 
        students in Virginia, the first State to mandate Internet 
        safety education in its schools, the students improved their 
        responses to 8 of 10 Internet safety scenarios after completing 
        an Internet safety education program, with the greatest 
        improvement in uncomfortable content and cyberbullying.
            (8) The enactment of the Children's Internet Protection Act 
        (Public Law 106-554; 114 Stat. 2763A-336) mandated that schools 
        implement Internet safety policies and technology protection 
        measures in order to receive discounts to obtain affordable 
        telecommunications and Internet access. Most schools have now 
        developed acceptable use policies and have implemented 
        filtering and other technology-based solutions to help protect 
        children.
            (9) However, less than 25 percent of educators feel 
        comfortable teaching students how to protect themselves from 
        online predators, bullies, and identity thieves, according to a 
        recent study by the National Cyber Security Alliance and 
        Educational Technology Policy, Research, and Outreach. The same 
        study found that 90 percent of educators have received less 
        than 6 hours of professional development on issues related to 
        online security in the past year. As a result, many students 
        receive little or no education on safe and responsible use of 
        the Internet and other new media.
            (10) The widespread use of the Internet, cell phones, 
        interactive gaming, and other electronic communication devices 
        by children both inside and outside of schools suggests that 
        acceptable use policies and filtering alone cannot resolve 
        Internet safety concerns and that a greater focus on education 
        would be beneficial.
            (11) In a national poll on children's health, parents 
        ranked Internet safety fifth among their top health concerns 
        for children. Yet according to a Common Sense Media poll 
        conducted in 2006, almost 90 percent of parents say that they 
        lack the knowledge about how to protect their children online. 
        For this reason, educating parents about Internet safety is key 
        to empowering them to understand actual risks and to take an 
        active role in protecting their children.
            (12) The problem of online harassment, or cyberbullying, of 
        youth by other youths is widespread and results in a range of 
        children's experiences from minor irritation to severe 
        emotional harm. The Bureau of Justice Statistics has found that 
        online harassment tends to begin in third and fourth grade, 
        peaks in seventh and eighth grade, and continues in reduced 
        amounts throughout high school, college, and professional 
        school.
            (13) Gang members increasingly are using the Internet as a 
        recruitment tool to entice would-be members and as an 
        intimidation tool to threaten rival gangs. Gang members use the 
        Internet, in particular, to promote their message.
            (14) More research is needed in several areas of youth 
        online safety, including--
                    (A) the prevention of minor-to-minor solicitation 
                and other inappropriate use of the Internet;
                    (B) the prevention of the creation of problematic 
                content by youths;
                    (C) the protection of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and 
                transgender youth and youth with disabilities that may 
                be particularly vulnerable;
                    (D) the interplay between socioeconomic class and 
                risk factors;
                    (E) the role that pervasive digital image and video 
                capture devices play in harassment of youth by other 
                youth and youth production of problematic content;
                    (F) the intersection of different mobile and 
                Internet-based technologies; and
                    (G) the online activities of registered sex 
                offenders.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are to--
            (1) facilitate research and identify best practices in 
        Internet safety education for youth, parents, and education 
        officials; and
            (2) establish a competitive grant program for State 
        education agencies, local educational agencies, and nonprofit 
        organizations to institute best practices relating to Internet 
        education and the research-based recommendations derived from 
        the study conducted under this Act.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Strengthening Oversight of Iran's 
Access to Finance Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (in this 
        section referred to as the ``JCPOA''), informally known as the 
        Iran nuclear deal, the Obama administration agreed to license 
        the sale of commercial passenger aircraft to Iran, the world's 
        foremost state sponsor of terrorism and a jurisdiction of 
        primary money laundering concern.
            (2) In April 2015, prior to the adoption of the JCPOA, 
        Secretary of the Treasury Jacob Lew, in publicly advocating for 
        its provisions, stated, ``Make no mistake: deal or no deal, we 
        will continue to use all our available tools, including 
        sanctions, to counter Iran's menacing behavior. Iran knows that 
        our host of sanctions focused on its support for terrorism and 
        its violations of human rights are not, and have never been, up 
        for discussion.''.
            (3) In March 2016 remarks to the Carnegie Endowment for 
        International Peace, Secretary Lew, in reference to United 
        States commitments under the JCPOA, stated, ``While we have 
        lifted the nuclear sanctions, we continue to enforce sanctions 
        directed at support for terrorism and regional destabilization, 
        and missile and human rights violations.''.
            (4) In an April 2016 forum at the Council on Foreign 
        Relations, Secretary Lew stated that, under the JCPOA, the 
        United States committed to lifting its nuclear sanctions, ``but 
        the U.S. financial system is not open to Iran, and that is not 
        something that is going to change''.
            (5) In September 2016, the Department of the Treasury's 
        Office of Foreign Assets Control (in this section referred to 
        as ``OFAC'') issued licenses permitting the export of up to 97 
        aircraft for use by Iran Air, the Islamic Republic of Iran's 
        flagship state-owned air carrier. These licenses included 
        authorization for United States financial institutions ``to 
        engage in all transactions necessary to provide financing or 
        other financial services'' in order to effectuate the sales. In 
        November 2016, OFAC licensed an additional 106 aircraft for 
        purchase by Iran Air, which are also eligible for financing 
        authorized by OFAC.
            (6) The Department of the Treasury had sanctioned Iran Air 
        in 2011 for its use of commercial passenger aircraft to 
        transport rockets, missiles, and other military cargo on behalf 
        of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (in this section 
        referred to as the ``IRGC'') and Iran's Ministry of Defense and 
        Armed Forces Logistics, both of which had been designated under 
        Executive Order 13382 for weapons proliferation-related 
        activities. In October 2017, the IRGC went on to be designated 
        under Executive Order 13224 for its support of the IRGC-Qods 
        Force, which has provided support to terrorist groups such as 
        Hizballah, Hamas, and the Taliban.
            (7) Among Iran Air's sanctionable activities, the air 
        carrier delivered missile or rocket components to the regime of 
        Bashar al-Assad in Syria, which like Iran is classified as a 
        state sponsor of terrorism.
            (8) The Assad regime is responsible for a civil conflict 
        that has claimed an estimated 400,000 lives, including through 
        the regime's deployment of chemical weapons and barrel bombs 
        against unarmed civilians and children.
            (9) Despite being delisted in 2016, Iran Air has continued 
        to fly known weapons resupply routes to government-controlled 
        areas of Syria. According to research by the Foundation for 
        Defense of Democracies, between Implementation Day of the JCPOA 
        on January 16, 2016, and May 4, 2017, Iran Air operated at 
        least 134 flights to Syria, which included stops in Abadan, 
        Iran, a suspected IRGC logistical hub for airlifts to the Assad 
        regime.
            (10) In November 2016 correspondence to the Chairman of the 
        Committee on Financial Services of the House of 
        Representatives, the Department of the Treasury noted that the 
        commitment to delist Iran Air under the JCPOA ``does not affect 
        our ability to designate, or re-designate, any Iranian airline 
        that engages in sanctionable activity. The United States 
        retains the ability to designate any individual or entity that 
        engages in sanctionable activities under our authorities 
        targeting conduct outside the scope of the JCPOA, including 
        Iran's support for terrorism, human rights abuses, ballistic 
        missile program, and other destabilizing activities in the 
        region.''.
            (11) In April 2017, Iran announced a deal for Aseman 
        Airlines to purchase up to 60 commercial aircraft, a 
        transaction that would require authorization by OFAC. Aseman 
        Airlines' chief executive officer, Hossein Alaei, has for 
        decades served as a senior member of the IRGC.
