SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Preservation of Antibiotics for 
Medical Treatment Act of 2011''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) In January 2001, a Federal interagency task force--
                    (A) released an action plan to address the 
                continuing decline in effectiveness of antibiotics 
                against common bacterial infections, referred to as 
                antibiotic resistance;
                    (B) determined that antibiotic resistance is a 
                growing menace to all people and poses a serious threat 
                to public health; and
                    (C) cautioned that if current trends continue, 
                treatments for common infections will become 
                increasingly limited and expensive, and, in some cases, 
                nonexistent.
            (2) Antibiotic resistance, resulting in a reduced number of 
        effective antibiotics, may significantly impair the ability of 
        the United States to respond to terrorist attacks involving 
        bacterial infections or a large influx of hospitalized 
        patients.
            (3)(A) Any overuse or misuse of antibiotics contributes to 
        the spread of antibiotic resistance, whether in human medicine 
        or in agriculture.
            (B) Recognizing the public health threat caused by 
        antibiotic resistance, Congress took several steps to curb 
        antibiotic overuse in human medicine through amendments to the 
        Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 201 et seq.) made by 
        section 102 of the Public Health Threats and Emergencies Act 
        (Public Law 106-505, title I; 114 Stat. 2315), but has not yet 
        addressed antibiotic overuse in agriculture.
            (4) In a March 2003 report, the National Academy of 
        Sciences stated that--
                    (A) a decrease in antimicrobial use in human 
                medicine alone will have little effect on the current 
                situation; and
                    (B) substantial efforts must be made to decrease 
                inappropriate overuse in animals and agriculture.
            (5) In 2010, the FDA determined that--
                    (A) 13.1 million kilograms of antibacterial drugs 
                were sold for use on food animals in the United States 
                in 2009;
                    (B) 3.3 million kilograms of antibacterial drugs 
                were used for human health in 2009; and
                    (C) therefore, 80 percent of antibacterial drugs 
                disseminated in the United States in 2009 were sold for 
                use on food animals, rather than being used for human 
                health.
            (6)(A) Large-scale, voluntary surveys by the Department of 
        Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service in 
        1999, 2001, and 2006 revealed that--
                    (i) 84 percent of grower-finisher swine farms, 83 
                percent of cattle feedlots, and 84 percent of sheep 
                farms administer antimicrobials in the feed or water 
                for health or growth promotion reasons; and
                    (ii) many of the antimicrobials identified are 
                identical or closely related to drugs used in human 
                medicine, including tetracyclines, macrolides, 
                Bacitracin, penicillins, and sulfonamides; and
            (B) these drugs are used in people to treat serious 
        diseases such as pneumonia, scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, 
        venereal disease, skin infections, and even pandemics like 
        malaria and plague, as well as bioterrorism agents like 
        smallpox and anthrax.
            (7) Many scientific studies confirm that the nontherapeutic 
        use of antibiotics in agricultural animals contributes to the 
        development of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections in 
        people.
            (8) The periodical entitled ``Clinical Infectious 
        Diseases'' published a report in June 2002, that--
                    (A) was based on a 2-year review by experts in 
                human and veterinary medicine, public health, 
                microbiology, biostatistics, and risk analysis, of more 
                than 500 scientific studies on the human health impacts 
                of antimicrobial use in agriculture; and
                    (B) recommended that antimicrobial agents should no 
                longer be used in agriculture in the absence of 
                disease, but should be limited to therapy for diseased 
                individual animals and prophylaxis when disease is 
                documented in a herd or flock.
            (9) The United States Geological Survey reported in March 
        2002 that--
                    (A) antibiotics were present in 48 percent of the 
                streams tested nationwide; and
                    (B) almost half of the tested streams were 
                downstream from agricultural operations.
            (10) An April 1999 study by the General Accounting Office 
        concluded that resistant strains of 3 microorganisms that cause 
        food-borne illness or disease in humans (Salmonella, 
        Campylobacter, and E. coli) are linked to the use of 
        antibiotics in animals.
            (11) Epidemiological research has shown that resistant 
        Salmonella and Campylobacter infections are associated with 
        increased numbers of ill patients and bloodstream infections, 
        and increased death.
            (12) In 2010, the peer-reviewed journal Molecular Cell 
        published a study demonstrating that low-dosage use of 
        antibiotics causes a dramatic increase in genetic mutation, 
        raising new concerns about the agricultural practice of using 
        low-dosage antibiotics in order to stimulate growth promotion 
        and routinely prevent disease in unhealthy conditions.
            (13)(A) In January 2003, Consumer Reports published test 
        results on poultry products bought in grocery stores nationwide 
        showing disturbingly high levels of Campylobacter and 
        Salmonella bacteria that were resistant to the antibiotics used 
        to treat food-borne illnesses.
            (B) The Food and Drug Administration's National 
        Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System routinely finds that 
        retail meat products are contaminated with bacteria (including 
        the foodborne pathogens Campylobacter and Salmonella) that are 
        resistant to antibiotics important in human medicine.
            (C) In December 2007, the USDA issued a fact sheet on the 
        recently recognized link between antimicrobial drug use in 
        animals and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureas (MRSA) 
        infections in humans.
            (14) In October 2001, the New England Journal of Medicine 
        published an editorial urging a ban on nontherapeutic use of 
        medically important antibiotics in animals.
            (15)(A) In 1998, the National Academy of Sciences noted 
        that antibiotic-resistant bacteria generate a minimum of 
        $4,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,000 in costs to United States 
        society and individuals yearly.
            (B) In 2009, Cook County Hospital and the Alliance for 
        Prudent Use of Antibiotics estimated that the total health care 
        cost of antibiotic resistant infections in the United States 
        was between $16,600,000,000 and $26,000,000,000 annually.
            (16) The American Medical Association, the American Public 
        Health Association, the National Association of County and City 
        Health Officials, and the National Campaign for Sustainable 
        Agriculture are among the more than 300 organizations 
        representing health, consumer, agricultural, environmental, 
        humane, and other interests that have supported enactment of 
        legislation to phase out nontherapeutic use in farm animals of 
        medically important antibiotics.
            (17) In 2010, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration 
        testified that the Danish ban of the non-therapeutic use of 
        antibiotics in food animal production resulted in a marked 
        reduction in antimicrobial resistance in multiple bacterial 
        species, including Campylobacter and Enterococci.
            (18) In 2009, the Congressional Research Service concluded 
        that restrictions overseas on the use of antimicrobial drugs in 
        the production of livestock could impact U.S. export markets 
        for livestock and poultry.
            (19) The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 
        301 et seq.)--
                    (A) requires that all drugs be shown to be safe 
                before the drugs are approved; and
                    (B) places the burden on manufacturers to account 
                for health consequences and prove safety.
            (20)(A) The Food and Drug Administration recently modified 
        the drug approval process for antibiotics to recognize the 
        development of resistant bacteria as an important aspect of 
        safety, but most antibiotics currently used in animal 
        production systems for nontherapeutic purposes were approved 
        before the Food and Drug Administration began considering 
        resistance during the drug-approval process.
            (B) The Food and Drug Administration has not established a 
        schedule for reviewing those existing approvals.
            (21) Certain non-routine uses of antibiotics in animal 
        agriculture are legitimate to prevent animal disease.
            (22) An April 2004 study by the General Accounting Office--
                    (A) concluded that Federal agencies do not collect 
                the critical data on antibiotic use in animals that 
                they need to support research on human health risks; 
                and
                    (B) recommends that the Department of Agriculture 
                and the Department of Health and Human Services develop 
                and implement a plan to collect data on antibiotic use 
                in animals.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

    The purpose of this Act is to preserve the effectiveness of 
medically important antibiotics used in the treatment of human and 
animal diseases by reviewing the safety of certain antibiotics for 
nontherapeutic purposes in food-producing animals.

SEC. 4. PROOF OF SAFETY OF CRITICAL ANTIMICROBIAL ANIMAL DRUGS.

    (a) Definitions.--Section 201 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321) is amended by adding at the end the 
following:
    ``(ss) Critical Antimicrobial Animal Drug.--The term `critical 
antimicrobial animal drug' means a drug that--
            ``(1) is intended for use in food-producing animals; and
            ``(2) is composed wholly or partly of--
                    ``(A) any kind of penicillin, tetracycline, 
                macrolide, lincosamide, streptogramin, aminoglycoside, 
                or sulfonamide; or
                    ``(B) any other drug or derivative of a drug that 
                is used in humans or intended for use in humans to 
                treat or prevent disease or infection caused by 
                microorganisms.
    ``(tt) Nontherapeutic Use.--The term `nontherapeutic use', with 
respect to a critical antimicrobial animal drug, means any use of the 
drug as a feed or water additive for an animal in the absence of any 
clinical sign of disease in the animal for growth promotion, feed 
efficiency, weight gain, routine disease prevention, or other routine 
purpose.''.
    (b) Applications Pending or Submitted After Enactment.--Section 
512(d)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 
360b(d)(1)) is amended--
            (1) in the first sentence--
                    (A) in subparagraph (H), by striking ``or'' at the 
                end;
                    (B) in subparagraph (I), by inserting ``or'' at the 
                end; and
                    (C) by inserting after subparagraph (I) the 
                following:
                    ``(J) with respect to a critical antimicrobial 
                animal drug or a drug of the same chemical class as a 
                critical antimicrobial animal drug, the applicant has 
                failed to demonstrate that there is a reasonable 
                certainty of no harm to human health due to the 
                development of antimicrobial resistance that is 
                attributable, in whole or in part, to the 
                nontherapeutic use of the drug; or''; and
            (2) in the second sentence, by striking ``(A) through (I)'' 
        and inserting ``(A) through (J)''.
    (c) Phased Elimination of Nontherapeutic Use in Animals of Critical 
Antimicrobial Animal Drugs Important for Human Health.--Section 512 of 
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b) is amended by

        House or Senate.

Ex Output:
Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act of 2011 - Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to deny an application for a new animal drug that is a critical antimicrobial animal drug unless the applicant demonstrates that there is a reasonably certainty of no harm to human health due to the development of antimicrobial resistance attributable to the nontherapeutic use of the drug. Defines "critical antimicrobial animal drug" as a drug intended for use in food-producing animals that contains specified antibiotics or other drugs used in humans to treat or prevent disease or infection caused by microorganisms.

Requires the Secretary to withdraw approval of a nontherapeutic use of such drugs in food-producing animals two years after the date of enactment of this Act unless certain safety requirements are met. Directs specified congressional committees to hold hearings on the implementation of such a withdrawal of approval.

SEC. 2. TRACEABILITY OF FOOD.

    The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.) is 
amended--
            (1) in section 301, by inserting at the end the following:
    ``(jj) The failure to comply with any requirement of section 414A 
(relating to the traceability of food).''; and
            (2) in chapter IV, by inserting after section 414 the 
        following:

``SEC. 414A. TRACEABILITY OF FOOD.

    ``(a) Establishment of System.--Not later than 3 years after the 
date of the enactment of this section, the Secretary shall establish a

SEC. 2. FEDERAL-STATE AGREEMENTS.

    (a) In General.--Any State which desires to do so may enter into 
and participate in an agreement under this Act with the Secretary of 
Labor (hereinafter in this Act referred to as the ``Secretary''). Any 
State which is a party to an agreement under this Act may, upon 
providing 30 days' written notice to the Secretary, terminate such 
agreement.
    (b) Provisions of Agreement.--
            (1) In general.--Any agreement under subsection (a) shall 
        provide that the State agency of the State will make--
                    (A) payments of regular compensation to individuals 
                in amounts and to the extent that they would be 
                determined if the State law were applied with the 
                modifications described in paragraph (2), and
                    (B) payments of temporary supplemental unemployment 
                compensation to individuals who--
                            (i) have exhausted all rights to regular 
                        compensation under the State law,
                            (ii) do not, with respect to a week, have 
                        any rights to compensation (excluding extended 
                        compensation) under the State law of any other 
                        State (whether one that has entered into an 
                        agreement under this Act or otherwise) nor 
                        compensation under any other Federal law (other 
                        than under the Federal-State Extended 
                        Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970), and are 
                        not paid or entitled to be paid any additional 
                        compensation under any State or Federal law, 
                        and
                            (iii) are not receiving compensation with 
                        respect to such week under the unemployment 
                        compensation law of Canada.
            (2) Modifications described.--The modifications described 
        in this paragraph are as follows:
                    (A) An individual shall be eligible for regular 
                compensation if the individual would be so eligible, 
                determined by applying--
                            (i) the base period that would otherwise 
                        apply under the State law if this Act had not 
                        been enacted, or
                            (ii) a base period ending at the close of 
                        the calendar quarter most recently completed 
                        before the date of the individual's application 
                        for benefits,
                whichever results in the greater amount.
                    (B) An individual shall not be denied regular 
                compensation under the State law's provisions relating 
                to availability for work, active search for work, or 
                refusal to accept work, solely by virtue of the fact 
                that such individual is seeking, or available for, only 
                part-time (and not full-time) work.
                    (C) The amount of regular compensation (including 
                dependents' allowances) payable for any week shall be 
                equal to the amount determined under the State law 
                (before the application of this subparagraph), plus an 
                additional--
                            (i) 15 percent, or
                            (ii) $25,
                whichever is greater.
    (c) Nonreduction Rule.--Under the agreement, subsection (b)(2)(C) 
shall not apply (or shall cease to apply) with respect to a State upon 
a determination by the Secretary that the method governing the 
computation of regular compensation under the State law of that State 
has been modified in a way such that--
            (1) the average weekly amount of regular compensation which 
        will be payable during the period of the agreement (determined 
        disregarding the modifications described in subsection (b)(2)) 
        will be less than
            (2) the average weekly amount of regular compensation which 
        would otherwise have been payable during such period under the 
        State law, as in effect on September 11, 2001.
    (d) Coordination Rules.--
            (1) Regular compensation payable under a federal law.--The 
        modifications described in subsection (b)(2) shall also apply 
        in determining the amount of benefits payable under any Federal 
        law to the extent that those benefits are determined by 
        reference to regular compensation payable under the State law 
        of the State involved.
            (2) TSUC to serve as second-tier benefits.--Notwithstanding 
        any other provision of law, extended benefits shall not be 
        payable to any individual for any week for which temporary 
        supplemental unemployment compensation is payable to such 
        individual.
    (e) Exhaustion of Benefits.--For purposes of subsection 
(b)(1)(B)(i), an individual shall be considered to have exhausted such 
individual's rights to regular compensation under a State law when--
            (1) no payments of regular compensation can be made under 
        such law because such individual has received all regular 
        compensation available to such individual based on employment 
        or wages during such individual's base period, or
            (2) such individual's rights to such compensation have been 
        terminated by reason of the expiration of the benefit year with 
        respect to which such rights existed.
    (f) Weekly Benefit Amount, Terms and Conditions, etc. Relating to 
TSUC.--For purposes of any agreement under this Act--
            (1) the amount of temporary supplemental unemployment 
        compensation which shall be payable to an individual for any 
        week of total unemployment shall be equal to the amount of 
        regular compensation (including dependents' allowances) payable 
        to such individual under the State law for a week for total 
        unemployment during such individual's benefit year,
            (2) the terms and conditions of the State law which apply 
        to claims for regular compensation and to the payment thereof 
        shall apply to claims for temporary supplemental unemployment 
        compensation and the payment thereof, except where inconsistent 
        with the provisions of this Act or with the regulations or 
        operating instructions of the Secretary promulgated to carry 
        out this Act, and
            (3) the maximum amount of temporary supplemental 
        unemployment compensation payable to any individual for whom a 
        temporary supplemental unemployment compensation account is 
        established under section 3 shall not exceed the amount 
        established in such account for such individual.

SEC. 3. TEMPORARY SUPPLEMENTAL UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION ACCOUNT.

    (a) In General.--Any agreement under this Act shall provide that 
the State will establish, for each eligible individual who files an 
application for temporary supplemental unemployment compensation, a 
temporary supplemental unemployment compensation account.
    (b) Amount in Account.--
            (1) In general.--The amount established in an account under 
        subsection (a) shall be equal to the lesser of--
                    (A) 50 percent of the total amount of regular 
                compensation (including dependents' allowances) payable 
                to him during his benefit year under such law, or
                    (B) 13 times his weekly benefit amount.
            (2) Weekly benefit amount.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, an individual's weekly benefit amount for any week 
        is the amount of regular compensation (including dependents' 
        allowances) under the State law payable to such individual for 
        such week for total unemployment.
            (3) Rule of construction.--For purposes of any computation 
        under paragraph (1) (and any determination of amount under 
        section 2(f)(1)), the modification described in section 
        2(b)(2)(C) (relating to increased benefits) shall be deemed to 
        have been in effect with respect to the entirety of the benefit 
        year involved.

SEC. 4. PAYMENTS TO STATES HAVING AGREEMENTS UNDER THIS ACT.

    (a) General Rule.--There shall be paid to each State which has 
entered into an agreement under this Act an amount equal to--
            (1) 100 percent of any regular compensation made payable to 
        individuals by such State by virtue of the modifications which 
        are described in section 2(b)(2) and deemed to be in effect 
        with respect to such State pursuant to section 2(b)(1)(A),
            (2) 100 percent of any regular compensation--
                    (A) which is paid to individuals by such State by 
                reason of the fact that its State law contains 
                provisions comparable to the modifications described in 
                section 2(b)(2)(A)-(B), but only
                    (B) to the extent that those amounts would, if such 
                amounts were instead payable by virtue of the State 
                law's being deemed to be so modified pursuant to 
                section 2(b)(1)(A), have been reimbursable under 
                paragraph (1), and
            (3) 100 percent of the temporary supplemental unemployment 
        compensation paid to individuals by the State pursuant to such 
        agreement.
    (b) Determination of Amount.--Sums under subsection (a) payable to 
any State by reason of such State having an agreement under this Act 
shall be payable, either in advance or by way of reimbursement (as may 
be determined by the Secretary), in such amounts as the Secretary 
estimates the State will be entitled to receive under this Act for each 
calendar month, reduced or increased, as the case may be, by any amount 
by which the Secretary finds that the Secretary's estimates for any 
prior calendar month were greater or less than the amounts which should 
have been paid to the State. Such estimates may be made on the basis of 
such statistical, sampling, or other method as may be agreed upon by 
the Secretary and the State agency of the State involved.
    (c) Administrative Expenses, etc.--There is hereby appropriated out 
of the employment security administration account of the Unemployment 
Trust Fund (as established by section 901(a) of the Social Security 
Act) $500,000,000 to reimburse States for the costs of the 
administration of agreements under this Act (including any improvements 
in technology in connection therewith) and to provide reemployment 
services to unemployment compensation claimants in States having 
agreements under this Act. Each State's share of the amount 
appropriated by the preceding sentence shall be determined by the 
Secretary according to the factors described in section 302(a) of the 
Social Security Act and certified by the Secretary to the Secretary of 
the Treasury.

SEC. 5. FINANCING PROVISIONS.

    (a) In General.--Funds in the extended unemployment compensation 
account (as established by section 905(a) of the Social Security Act), 
and the Federal unemployment account (as established by section 904(g) 
of the Social Security Act), of the Unemployment Trust Fund shall be 
used, in accordance with subsection (b), for the making of payments 
(described in section 4(a)) to States having agreements entered into 
under this Act.
    (b) Certification.--The Secretary shall from time to time certify 
to the Secretary of the Treasury for payment to each State the sums 
described in section 4(a) which are payable to such State under this 
Act. The Secretary of the Treasury, prior to audit or settlement by the 
General Accounting Office, shall make payments to the State in 
accordance with such certification by transfers from the extended 
unemployment compensation account (or, to the extent that there are 
insufficient funds in that account, from the Federal unemployment 
account) to the account of such State in the Unemployment Trust Fund.

SEC. 6. FRAUD AND OVERPAYMENTS.

    (a) In General.--If an individual knowingly has made, or caused to 
be made by another, a false statement or representation of a material 
fact, or knowingly has failed, or caused another to fail, to disclose a 
material fact, and as a result of such false statement or 
representation or of such nondisclosure such individual has received 
any regular compensation or temporary supplemental unemployment 
compensation under this Act to which he was not entitled, such 
individual--
            (1) shall be ineligible for any further benefits under this 
        Act in accordance with the provisions of the applicable State 
        unemployment compensation law relating to fraud in connection 
        with a claim for unemployment compensation, and
            (2) shall be subject to prosecution under section 1001 of 
        title 18, United States Code.
    (b) Repayment.--In the case of individuals who have received any 
regular compensation or temporary supplemental unemployment 
compensation under this Act to which they were not entitled, the State 
shall require such individuals to repay those benefits to the State 
agency, except that the State agency may waive such repayment if it 
determines that--
            (1) the payment of such benefits was without fault on the 
        part of any such individual, and
            (2) such repayment would be contrary to equity and good 
        conscience.
    (c) Recovery by State Agency.--
            (1) In general.--The State agency may recover the amount to 
        be repaid, or any part thereof, by deductions from any regular 
        compensation or temporary supplemental unemployment 
        compensation payable to such individual under this Act or from 
        any unemployment compensation payable to such individual under 
        any Federal unemployment compensation law administered by the 
        State agency or under any other Federal law administered by the 
        State agency which provides for the payment of any assistance 
        or allowance with respect to any week of unemployment, during 
        the 3-year period after the date such individuals received the 
        payment of the regular compensation or temporary supplemental 
        unemployment compensation to which they were not entitled, 
        except that no single deduction may exceed 50 percent of the 
        weekly benefit amount from which such deduction is made.
            (2) Opportunity for hearing.--No repayment shall be 
        required, and no deduction shall be made, until a determination 
        has been made, notice thereof and an opportunity for a fair 
        hearing has been given to the individual, and the determination 
        has become final.
    (d) Review.--Any determination by a State agency under this section 
shall be subject to review in the same manner and to the same extent as 
determinations under the State unemployment compensation law, and only 
in that manner and to that extent.
