        be returned to the claimant, pending completion of proceedings 
        by the United States Government to obtain forfeiture of the

        release of the property as the court finds are appropriate to 
        preserve the availability of the property or its equivalent for 
        forfeiture.
            ``(5) Time for decision.--The district court shall render a 
        decision on a complaint filed under paragraph (2) no later than 
        30 days after the date of the filing, unless such 30-day 
        limitation is extended by consent of the parties or by the 
        court for good cause shown.''.

question:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Family Act of 2013''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The American Society of Reproductive Medicine 
        recognizes infertility as a disease, and the Centers for 
        Disease Control and Prevention have described infertility as an 
        emerging public health priority in the United States. Globally, 
        the World Health Organization also formally recognizes 
        infertility as a disease.
            (2) According to the Centers for Disease Control and 
        Prevention, approximately 3,000,000 Americans suffer from 
        infertility.
            (3) A portion of those 3,000,000 people are cancer 
        survivors who were diagnosed as infants, children, or young 
        adults. Their treatments included chemotherapy, radiation, and 
        surgery which have led to irreparable damage to their 
        reproductive systems.
            (4) Military families notably are also impacted by 
        infertility as a result of lower extremity war injuries arising 
        from the perils of modern warfare. For active duty individuals, 
        frequent changes in permanent duty station, combat deployments, 
        and training rotations complicate access to fertility 
        treatments. In addition, active duty individuals or veterans 
        have no coverage for in vitro fertilization (IVF) through their 
        military health insurance and must pay out of pocket for those 
        expenses, even within military treatment facilities.
            (5) For many, the cost of treatment for the disease of 
        infertility is prohibitive. According to the American Society 
        for Reproductive Medicine, the cost per cycle of IVF is 
        approximately $12,500, and on average couples require at least 
        2 cycles. Many couples have to choose between their desire to 
        establish a family and their future financial well-being.
            (6) Medical insurance coverage for infertility treatments 
        is sparse and inconsistent at the State level. Only 8 States 
        have passed laws to require comprehensive infertility coverage, 
        and under those State laws employer-sponsored plans are exempt; 
        therefore, coverage for treatments such as IVF is limited. 
        According to Mercer's 2005 National Survey of Employer-
        Sponsored Health Plans, IVF was voluntarily covered by 19 
        percent of large employer-sponsored health plans and only 11 
        percent of small employer-sponsored health plans. Even in 
        States with coverage mandates, out-of-pocket expenses for these 
        treatments are significant.
            (7) According to the latest National Survey of Family 
        Growth, African-American and Hispanic women are more likely to 
        be infertile than Caucasian women, yet studies indicate that 
        they are less likely to use infertility services.

SEC. 3. CREDIT FOR CERTAIN INFERTILITY TREATMENTS.

    (a) In General.--Subpart A of part IV of subchapter A of chapter 1 
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by inserting before

                23(b)(1) for the taxable year, over
                    ``(B) the aggregate amount of the credits allowed 
                under subsection (a) for all preceding taxable years.
            ``(2) Income limitation.--
                    ``(A) In general.--The amount otherwise allowable 
                as a credit under subsection (a) for any taxable year

                without regard to this paragraph and subsection (c)) 
                shall be reduced (but not below zero) by an amount

                    ``(B) Determination of adjusted gross income.--For

                shall be determined without regard to sections 911, 
                931, and 933.
            ``(3) Denial of double benefit.--
                    ``(A) In general.--No credit shall be allowed under 
                subsection (a) for any expense for which a deduction or 
                credit is taken under any other provision of this 
                chapter.
                    ``(B) Grants.--No credit shall be allowed under 
                subsection (a) for any expense to the extent that 
                reimbursement or other funds in compensation for such

answer:

Family Act of 2013 - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow a tax credit for 50% of qualified infertility treatment expenses. Limits the dollar amount of such credit to $12,970 for taxable years beginning in 2013, with a phase-out of such credit for taxpayers based on adjusted gross income. Defines &quot;qualified infertility treatment expenses&quot; as amounts paid for the treatment of infertility via in vitro fertilization if such treatment is provided by a licensed physician, surgeon, or other medical practitioner and is administered with respect to a diagnosis of infertility by a physician licensed in the United States.
