SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) According to the National Center for Education 
        Statistics, over the next 10 years, the United States will need 
        more than 2,000,000 new teachers to replace the teachers who 
        are retiring or leaving the classroom for other careers.
            (2) The Hart-Rudman National Security Report on education 
        recommended that the President direct the Department of 
        Education to work with the States to devise a comprehensive 
        plan to avert a looming shortage of high-quality teachers.
            (3) According to the National Center for Education 
        Statistics, 20 percent of all new teachers leave the teaching 
        profession within 3 years. Providing loan forgiveness or loan 
        cancellation is one step that would help retain high-quality 
        teachers in schools that need teachers.
            (4) The American Hospital Association has reported more 
        than 118,000 unfilled registered nurse positions in hospitals 
        in the United States. Additionally, the National Commission on 
        Nursing Workforce for Long-Term Care released a report in May, 
        2005, stating that there are nearly 100,000 vacant nursing 
        positions in long-term care facilities on any given day, and 
        the nurse turnover rate exceeds 50 percent. The shortage is 
        costing long-term care facilities an estimated $4 billion a 
        year in recruitment and training expenses.
            (5) College loans are more of a burden than ever for 
        students and families. According to a recent United States 
        Public Interest Research Group report, average student loan 
        debt almost doubled from $9,200 in 1992-1993 to $16,928 in 
        1999-2000.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to improve access to, and 
the delivery of, high-quality educational and health services 
throughout the United States by reducing the shortage of qualified 
teachers and nurses.

SEC. 3. LOAN FORGIVENESS.

    (a) Loan Forgiveness.--Section 428J of the Higher Education Act of 
1965 (20 U.S.C. 1078-10) is amended to read as follows:

Output: Coastal Zone Protection Act of 1996 - Amends the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 to authorize annual grants to States to develop coastal zone management programs.  Limits each State to four (currently, two) grants.  Terminates the grant program after FY 1999. Authorizes grants to States to implement program changes. Authorizes appropriations for:  (1) administering State management programs; (2) resource management improvement grants; (3) coastal zone enhancement grants; (4) grants under the National Estuarine Research Reserve System; (5) expenses incidental to the administration of the Act; and (6) such program development grants. Allows grants (relating to national estuarine reserves or educational or interpretive activities) provided from amounts recovered as a result of damage to coastal zone natural resources to be used to pay 100 percent of the costs of the activities carried out with the grants. Allows resource management improvement grants to be used for the development of a coordinated process among State agencies to regulate and issue permits for coastal zone aquaculture facilities. Allows coastal zone enhancement grants to be used to evaluate and facilitate the siting of public and private coastal zone aquaculture facilities. Establishes consistency determination appeal procedures.
