SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Family Telephone Connection 
Protection Act of 2005''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that:
            (1) The telephone is the primary method by which 
        individuals correspond and maintain contact with family members 
        who are incarcerated in correctional institutions.
            (2) Except for emergency purposes, family members are not 
        allowed to call people incarcerated in correctional 
        institutions; incarcerated persons are typically allowed to 
        call family members and other pre-approved individuals only 
        through payphones physically located on the premises of 
        correctional institutions.
            (3) Inmate telephone service in correctional institutions 
        often is limited to collect calling.
            (4) Regardless of whether the prisoners' calls are placed 
        collect or through a debit account, the prisoners' family 
        members typically pay for the calls, either through their 
        telephone bills, in the case of collect calls received from 
        prisoners, or by making deposits directly into prisoners' debit 
        accounts.
            (5) Innocent citizens are paying excessive telephone 
        charges simply due to having a family member or loved one who 
        is incarcerated.
            (6) The rates for calls from correctional institutions are 
        some of the highest rates in the United States, with some per-
        minute charges reaching $1 and service or connection charges of 
        $3.95 per call.
            (7) Information compiled by the Congress and the Federal 
        Communications Commission shows that the high rates are due in 
        part to the lack of competition between telephone companies 
        that provide long distance inmate telephone service to 
        correctional institutions.
            (8) There are no competitive forces providing incentives 
        for those carriers to lower prices or operate efficiently 
        because, unlike the mass market, only one carrier is typically 
        permitted to provide long distance inmate telephone service 
        within each correctional institution.
            (9) High calling rates also are due in part to commissions 
        that carriers pay to correctional institution administrators 
        for the exclusive right to provide long distance inmate 
        telephone service in a correctional facility. In some cases, 
        such commissions account for 50 percent or more of the total 
        charges.
            (10) The collection of such commissions by correctional 
        institution administrators and state departments of correction 
        based upon interstate telecommunications revenues is a burden 
        on interstate commerce.
            (11) Due to the lack of competition for telephone services 
        within correctional institutions, families of people in prison, 
        many of whom have low incomes, cannot choose the long distance 
        carrier with the lowest calling rates and must pay the 
        excessive rates charged by the carrier having the exclusive 
        right to provide long distance service to the correctional 
        institution from which the call originates.
            (12) It is the policy of the United States to ensure that 
        all Americans are afforded just and reasonable communications 
        services, including those families that pay rates for inmate 
        telephone service.
            (13) It is clear from various studies that maintaining 
        frequent and meaningful communications between people who are 
        incarcerated and family members is key to the successful social 
        reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals. Such 
        contact reduces recidivism and facilitates rehabilitation, 
        which in turn reduces crime and the future costs of 
        imprisonment.
            (14) Frequent communications between incarcerated persons 
        and family members is burdened, and in some cases, prevented, 
        by excessive inmate telephone service rates. Excessive inmate 
        telephone service rates thus weaken the family and community 
        ties that are necessary for successful reentry into society by 
        persons who were formerly incarcerated and the reduction in 
        crime resulting from successful reentry.
            (15) The Commission has the expertise and authority to 
        regulate inmate telephone service. Because parties to 
        Commission rulemaking proceedings have raised issues regarding 
        its authority to implement meaningful relief for excessive 
        inmate telephone service rates, Congress finds it necessary and 
        appropriate to reaffirm that the Commission has the authority 
        to implement the types of relief set forth in this Act.

SEC. 3. RESTRICTIONS ON THE PROVISION OF INMATE TELEPHONE SERVICE.

    (a) Definitions.--Section 226(a) of the Communications Act of 1934 
(47 U.S.C. 226(a)) is amended adding at the end the following new 
paragraphs:
            ``(10) The term `collect' or `collect call' refers to a 
        telephone call from a person incarcerated in a correctional 
        institution that is billed to the subscriber receiving the 
        call.
            ``(11) The term `commission' refers to a fee or other 
        payment by a provider of inmate telephone service to an 
        administrator of a correctional institution, department of

        inmate telephone service revenue.
            ``(12) The term `debit account' refers to the payment of 
        inmate telephone service through a prisoner's prepaid card or 
        other account, which can be accessed only through an access 
        code, personal identification number, or similar identifier.
            ``(13) The term `inmate telephone service' includes the 
        provision of telephone service enabling persons incarcerated in 
        correctional institutions to originate interstate calls at 
        payphones or other telephones that are designated for 
        prisoners' personal use, regardless of whether the calls are 
        collect, paid through a debit account, or paid through any 
        other means.
            ``(14) The term `provider of inmate telephone service' 
        means any common carrier that provides inmate telephone service 
        or any other person determined by the Commission to be 
        providing inmate telephone service.''.
    (b) Regulations.--Section 226 is further amended--
            (1) by redesignating subsection (i) as subsection (k); and
            (2) inserting after subsection (h) the following new 
        subsections:
    ``(i) Regulation of Inmate Telephone Service.--
            ``(1) Rates.--In order to ensure that charges for inmate 
        telephone service are just, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory, 
        the Commission shall consider, either in a rulemaking 
        proceeding that is pending as of the date of enactment of the 
        Family Telephone Connection Protection Act of 2005 or in a new 
        rulemaking proceeding, the following types of regulation of 
        inmate telephone service, all of which are within the 
        Commission's jurisdiction and authority:
                    ``(A) prescribing a maximum uniform per-minute 
                compensation rate;

                size of the correctional facility served, and other 
                relevant factors identified by the Commission;
                    ``(D) requiring providers of inmate telephone 
                service to offer both collect calling and debit account 
                services;
                    ``(E) prohibiting the payment of commissions by 
                providers of inmate telephone service to administrators 
                of correctional institutions, departments of 
                correction, and similar entities; and
                    ``(F) requiring administrators of correctional

            ``(2) Scope.--The regulations adopted by the Commission 
        shall be technologically neutral and shall not jeopardize

        derived by administrators of correctional institutions, 
        departments of correction, and similar entities from the 
        receipt of commissions, such effects of Commission regulations 
        shall not be considered as jeopardizing or otherwise affecting 
        legitimate security or penelogical interests.
            ``(3) Deadlines and periodic review.--The Commission shall 
        prescribe regulations to implement the provisions of this 
        subsection within one year after the date of enactment of the 
        Family Telephone Connection Protection Act of 2005. The 
        Commission shall review, on a triennial basis, the regulations 
        promulgated under this subsection, including whether any 
        Commission-established compensation rates should be modified.
            ``(4) State preemption.--To the extent that any State

        intended recipient of the call or other common carrier involved 
        in any portion of the transmission of the call.''.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Reducing Exposure to Asbestos 
Database Act of 2015'' or the ``READ Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the Administrator of the Environmental Protection 
        Agency has classified asbestos as a category A human 
        carcinogen, the highest cancer hazard classification for a 
        substance;
            (2) the International Agency for Research on Cancer has 
        classified asbestos as a class 1 human carcinogen;
            (3) despite the enactment of the Asbestos Information Act 
        of 1988 (15 U.S.C. 2607 note; Public Law 100-577), which sought 
        to improve transparency and public awareness of the presence of 
        asbestos in commercial materials and products, many people in 
        the United States still incorrectly believe that--
                    (A) asbestos has been banned in the United States; 
                and
                    (B) there is no risk of exposure to asbestos 
                through the use of new commercial products;
            (4) asbestos is still being imported and used, and is 
        otherwise present as a contaminant, in some consumer and 
        industrial products in the United States;
            (5) according to the Environmental Protection Agency, the 
        manufacture, importation, processing, and distribution in 
        commerce of many asbestos-containing products are not banned in 
        the United States, including--
                    (A) cement corrugated sheet;
                    (B) cement flat sheet;
                    (C) clothing;
                    (D) pipeline wrap;
                    (E) roofing felt;
                    (F) vinyl floor tile;
                    (G) cement shingle;
                    (H) millboard;
                    (I) cement pipe;
                    (J) automatic transmission components;
                    (K) clutch facings;
                    (L) friction materials;
                    (M) disc brake pads;
                    (N) drum brake linings;
                    (O) brake blocks;
                    (P) gaskets;
                    (Q) non-roofing coatings; and
                    (R) roof coatings;
            (6) consumers and workers are at risk of asbestos exposure, 
        and families of workers are also put at risk because of 
        asbestos brought home by the workers on the shoes, clothes, 
        skin, and hair of the workers;
            (7) the Environmental Working Group estimates that as many 
        as 10,000 citizens of the United States die each year from 
        mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases;
            (8) the National Institutes of Health reported to Congress 
        that mesothelioma is a difficult disease to detect, diagnose, 
        and treat;
            (9) mesothelioma responds poorly to conventional 
        chemotherapy, and although new combination treatments for 
        mesothelioma have demonstrated some benefits--
                    (A) the median survival period for mesothelioma is 
                only 1 year after diagnosis of the disease; and
                    (B) the majority of mesothelioma patients die 
                within 2 years of diagnosis of the disease; and
            (10) until asbestos is completely banned from being used in 
        or imported into the United States, transparent and accessible 
        information about the location and identity of asbestos and 
        asbestos-containing products in the United States is necessary 
        to better protect consumers, workers, families, and the people 
        of the United States.

SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT OF ASBESTOS-CONTAINING PRODUCT DATABASE.

    The Asbestos Information Act of 1988 (15 U.S.C. 2607 note; Public 
Law 100-577) is amended--
            (1) in section 4--
                    (A) by redesignating paragraphs (3) through (7) as 
                paragraphs (4) through (8), respectively; and
                    (B) by inserting after paragraph (2) the following:
            ``(3) Asbestos-containing product.--The term `asbestos-
        containing product' means any product (including any part) to 
        which asbestos is deliberately or knowingly added or in which 
        asbestos is deliberately used or knowingly present in any 
        concentration.'';
            (2) in section 2, by inserting ``(referred to in this Act 
        as the `Administrator')'' after ``Administrator of the 
        Environmental Protection Agency''; and
            (3) by adding at the end the following:

``SEC. 5. ASBESTOS-CONTAINING PRODUCT DATABASE.

    ``(a) In General.--Using funds otherwise made available to the 
Administrator, the Administrator shall, in accordance with this 
section, establish and maintain a database of asbestos-containing 
products (referred to in this Act as the `database') that is--
            ``(1) publicly available;
            ``(2) searchable; and
            ``(3) accessible through the website of the Administrator.
    ``(b) Submission of Detailed Implementation Plan to Congress.--
            ``(1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date 
        of enactment of this section, the Administrator shall submit to 
        the appropriate congressional committees a detailed plan for 
        establishing and maintaining the database, including plans for 
        the operation, content, maintenance, and functionality of the

SEC. 4. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE REPORT.

    Not later than 2 years after the Administrator of the Environmental 
Protection Agency establishes the database of asbestos-containing 
products under section 5(a) of the Asbestos Information Act of 1988 (15 
U.S.C. 2607 note; Public Law 100-577) (referred to in this section as 
the ``database''), the Comptroller General of the United States shall 
submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report that 
contains--
            (1) an analysis of the utility of the database, including--
                    (A) an assessment of the extent of use of the 
                database by consumers, including--
                            (i) whether the database is accessed by a 
                        broad range of the public; and
                            (ii) whether consumers find the database to 
                        be useful; and
                    (B) efforts by the Administrator to inform the 
                public about the database;
            (2) recommendations for measures to increase use of the 
        database by consumers; and
            (3) recommendations for measures to further reduce the harm 
        caused by exposure to asbestos, including bans on the 
        importation and use of asbestos-containing products.

Reducing Exposure to Asbestos Database Act of 2015 or the READ Act This bill amends the Asbestos Information Act of 1988 to require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish and maintain a database of asbestos-containing products. The database must be accessible through EPA's website, publicly available, and searchable. An asbestos-containing product is any product to which asbestos is deliberately or knowingly added or in which asbestos is deliberately used or knowingly present in any concentration. Any person who manufactured, processed, distributed, sold, imported, transported, or stored an asbestos-containing product must report to the EPA each year to identify the characteristics and location of the asbestos-containing products.  Civil penalties are imposed upon any person who knowingly: (1) manufactured, processed, distributed, sold, imported, transported, or stored an asbestos-containing product and who did not submit a report; or (2) provides false or inaccurate information in a report or fails to provide required information. The Government Accountability Office must report on the utility of the database. The report must contain recommendations for measures to increase use of the database by consumers and further reduce the harm caused by exposure to asbestos.
