            (2) Extension of effective date for state law amendment.--
        In the case of a State plan under this title which the 
        Secretary of Health and Human Services determines requires 
        State legislation in order for the plan to meet the additional 
        requirements imposed by the amendment made by subsection (a), 
        the State plan shall not be regarded as failing to comply with 
        the requirements of such title solely on the basis of its 
        failure to meet these additional requirements before the first 
        day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the close of 
        the first regular session of the State legislature that begins 
        after the date of the enactment of this Act. For purposes of 
        the previous sentence, in the case of a State that has a 2-year 
        legislative session, each year of the session is considered to 
        be a separate regular session of the State legislature.

A: Expanding Access to Medical Records Act - Amends titles XVIII (Medicare) and XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) grant the authorized representative of a deceased beneficiary full access to information with respect to the deceased beneficiary's benefits under the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

Requires the Register of Copyrights to make information available from authoritative sources to assist users in conducting and documenting a reasonably diligent search.

Permits an award of reasonable compensation for the use of the infringed work, except if: (1) the infringement is performed without any commercial advantage and for primarily a charitable, religious, scholarly, or educational purpose; and (2) the infringer ceases the infringement expeditiously after receiving notice of the claim for infringement.

Allows the court to impose injunctive relief to prevent or restrain the infringing use, but such relief shall account for harm caused to the infringer due to reliance on having performed a reasonably diligent search. Prohibits the court from imposing injunctive relief that restrains the continued preparation or use of a new work that recasts, transforms, adapts, or integrates the infringed work with the infringer's original expression in a new work of authorship if the infringer pays reasonable compensation and provides attribution to the copyright owner.

Requires the Register of Copyrights to conduct an inquiry with respect to remedies for copyright infringement claims seeking limited amounts of monetary relief, including consideration of alternatives to disputes currently heard in the U.S. district courts.

Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``National School Lunch Protection Act 
of 2010''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and 
        the School Breakfast Program (SBP), school food service has 
        played an integral role in the health and nutrition of American 
        children, and remains one of the key safety-nets in place to 
        alleviate childhood hunger and malnutrition domestically. In 
        2009, the NSLP served more than 31,000,000 students every day, 
        while the SBP fed over 11,000,000 students.
            (2) The NSLP and SBP are shared responsibilities between 
        the Federal, State, and local governments.
            (3) In 2009 the Federal Government spent more than 
        $12,000,000,000 to support the NSLP and the SBP, to ensure 
        students across the country received at least one healthy meal 
        every school day.
            (4) Faced with growing student participation and increased 
        costs, school food service programs across the country are 
        facing unprecedented budget crises.
            (5) According to a recent study by the School Nutrition 
        Association, 52 percent of school food service programs are 
        charged indirect costs by local educational agencies. Indirect 
        costs are costs incurred for a common purpose that benefit more 
        than one programmatic objective.
            (6) According to the study, there is an overall lack of 
        consistency amongst local educational agencies nationwide about 
        what method should be used to identify and calculate indirect 
        costs, and what constitute appropriate direct cost charges to 
        school food authorities.
            (7) School food service must operate on a nonprofit basis, 
        balance cost with revenue, and ensure all revenue generated is 
        used to support or improve the food service.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are to--
            (1) ensure Federal funds are being appropriately spent to 
        benefit the health and nutrition of American children;
            (2) study the impact of indirect and direct costs charged 
        to the NSLP and SBP programs;
            (3) study the types and amounts of indirect and direct 
        costs charged and recovered by local educational agencies; and
            (4) encourage the Secretary to issue regulations to ensure 
        the effectiveness of Federal support for the NSLP and SBP.

SEC. 3. COST STUDY AND FUNDING.

    (a) Guidance on Allowable Costs to School Food Authorities.--Not 
later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the

authorities participating in the school lunch program established under

seq.) and the school breakfast program established under section 4 of 
the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1773) covering program rules

        U.S.C. 1773) pay indirect and direct costs, including 
        assessments of--

                such school food authorities;
                    (B) the methodologies used to establish indirect 
                cost rates for such school food authorities;
                    (C) the types and amounts of indirect and direct 
                costs charged and recovered by local educational

                    (E) whether the indirect and direct costs charged 
                or recovered are consistent with requirements for the 
                allocation of costs and school food service operations; 
                and
                    (F) the types and amounts of indirect and direct 
                costs that could be charged or recovered under 
                requirements for the allocation of costs and school 
                food service operations but are not charged or 
                recovered; and
            (2) after completing the study required under paragraph 
        (1), issue additional guidance relating to the types of costs 
        that are reasonable and necessary to provide meals under the 
        Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1751 et 
        seq.) and section 4 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 
        U.S.C. 1773).
    (c) Regulations.--After conducting the study under subsection 
(b)(1) and identifying costs under subsection (b)(2), the Secretary of 
Agriculture may promulgate regulations to address--
            (1) any identified deficiencies in the allocation of 
        indirect and direct costs charged to school food authorities 
        participating in the lunch program under the Richard B. Russell 
        National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.) and the 
        breakfast program under the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 
        U.S.C. 1773); and
            (2) the authority of school food authorities to reimburse 
        only those costs identified by the Secretary as reasonable and 
        necessary under subsection (b)(2).
    (d) Report.--Not later than October 1, 2013, the Secretary of 
Agriculture shall submit to the Committee on Education and Labor of the 
House of Representatives and the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition,
