        whoever knowingly transports a minor across a State line, with

        resides.
    ``(b) Exceptions.--
            ``(1) The prohibition of subsection (a) does not apply if 
        the abortion was necessary to save the life of the minor

        physical injury, or physical illness, including a life 
        endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the 
        pregnancy itself.
            ``(2) A minor transported in violation of this section, and 
        any parent of that minor, may not be prosecuted or sued for a 
        violation of this section, a conspiracy to violate this 
        section, or an offense under section 2 or 3 based on a 
        violation of this section.
    ``(c) Affirmative Defense.--It is an affirmative defense to a

        before the minor obtained the abortion, the parental consent or 
        notification took place that would have been required by the 
        law requiring parental involvement in a minor's abortion 
        decision, had the abortion been performed in the State where 
        the minor resides; or
            ``(2) was presented with documentation showing with a 
        reasonable degree of certainty that a court in the minor's 
        State of residence waived any parental notification required by 
        the laws of that State, or otherwise authorized that the minor 
        be allowed to procure an abortion.
    ``(d) Civil Action.--Any parent who suffers harm from a violation 
of subsection (a) may obtain appropriate relief in a civil action

SEC. 3. CLERICAL AMENDMENT.

United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item relating to 
chapter 117 the following new items:

``117A. Transportation of minors in circumvention of certain    2431''.
                            laws relating to abortion.
Example Output: Child Custody Protection Act - Amends the federal criminal code to prohibit transporting a minor child across a state line to obtain an abortion (deems such transporting to be a de facto abridgment of the right of a parent under any law in the minors state of residence that requires parental involvement in the minors abortion decision). Makes an exception for an abortion necessary to safe the life of the minor.

Makes it an affirmative defense to a prosecution or civil action under this Act that a defendant: (1) reasonably believed that before the minor obtained the abortion, the required parental consent or notification or judicial authorization took place; or (2) was presented with documentation showing that a court waived parental notification requirements or authorized the minor's abortion.

Defines "abortion" as the termination of a pregnancy with an intention other than to increase the probability of a live birth, preserve the life or health of the child after live birth, terminate an ectopic pregnancy, or remove a dead unborn child who died as the result of a spontaneous abortion, accidental trauma, or a criminal assault on the pregnant female or her unborn child.

Imposes a fine and/or prison term of up to one year on anyone who has committed an act of incest with a minor and knowingly transports such minor across a state line to obtain an abortion.

Requires the joint budget resolution to set forth appropriate levels for the fiscal year beginning on October 1 of such year and for at least each of the four ensuing fiscal years for the public debt limit for display purposes only. Permits revisions of joint budget resolutions already enacted. Makes a conforming amendment to the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) Federal and State governments, policymakers, 
        legislators, and private sector entities depend on the economic 
        statistics that are published by the Federal Government;
            (2) Federal economic statistics are used, among other 
        things--
                    (A) to judge our Nation's economic performance over 
                time; and
                    (B) to provide policymakers and legislators with 
                the information necessary to design appropriate 
                economic policies and other programs to address the 
                well-being of American individuals and households;
            (3) questions have been raised about the sufficiency of 
        existing reported economic measures and statistics to provide a 
        meaningful and accurate reflection and assessment of the 
        economic well-being of American individuals and households;
            (4) the most commonly reported economic statistics, such as 
        gross domestic product, unemployment rate, and consumer price 
        indices, do not adequately or accurately reflect the economic 
        status of average American individuals and households; and
            (5) a more accurate, transparent, coherent, and 
        comprehensive assessment of the economic well-being of American 
        households and regular reporting of such information would 
        allow Federal and State governments--
                    (A) to better track and judge the economic status 
                of average Americans; and
                    (B) to develop better, more accurate, and more 
                responsive policies to address concerns that are more 
                directly relevant to American households.
