PROBLEM: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Numerous studies by the Office of the Inspector General 
        of the Department of the Interior, the General Accounting 
        Office, and independent auditors have criticized the absence of 
        independent oversight or other forms of internal control over 
        the Department's management of Indian trust assets and trust 
        funds.
            (2) Indian and tribal account holders have indicated that 
        they will have little or no confidence in the reform of the 
        trust management system if the reform is carried out by the 
        same entities that are responsible for the management of the 
        system on the date of enactment of this Act.
            (3) It would constitute an inherent conflict of interest or 
        at least the appearance of a conflict of interest if the entity 
        establishing internal controls for a trust management system 
        were to be appointed, supervised, and subject to removal by the 
        entity that such internal controls are written for.
            (4) Account holder confidence will be improved if the same 
        official is not simultaneously responsible for the immediate 
        supervision of the fiduciary and financial reporting activities 
        of both the trust fund accounting system and the trust asset 
        and accounting management system.
            (5) To the extent practicable, the reform of activities and 
        creation of internal controls as described in the Department of 
        the Interior's Trust Management Improvement Project, High Level 
        Implementation Plan dated July 1998, and any amendments or 
        modifications to that plan, should be carried out by private 
        contractors.

SEC. 2. SPECIAL TRUSTEE FOR DATA CLEANUP AND INTERNAL CONTROL.

U.S.C. 4001 et seq.) is amended--
            (1) by redesignating title IV as title V;
            (2) by redesignating section 401 as section 501; and
            (3) by inserting after title III, the following:

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Union Member Protection Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Labor unions make significant political contributions 
        and expenditures that directly or indirectly influence the 
        election of candidates and support or oppose political causes. 
        Decisions to use union dues for political contributions and 
        expenditures are usually made by union leadership and 
        management, rather than union membership.
            (2) Unions, acting through their management, should be 
        obligated to conduct business in the best interests of their 
        membership.
            (3) Historically, union members have not had a way to know, 
        or to influence, the political activities of unions that are 
        supposed to represent them. Union members and the public have a 
        right to know how unions are spending members' dues to make 
        political contributions or expenditures benefitting candidates, 
        political parties, and political causes.
            (4) Unions should be accountable to their membership in 
        making political contributions or expenditures affecting 
        Federal governance and public policy. Requiring the express 
        approval of a union's membership for political contributions or 
        expenditures will establish necessary accountability.

SEC. 3. DISCLOSURE AND APPROVAL OF CERTAIN POLITICAL EXPENDITURES.

    (a) In General.--Title II of the Labor-Management Reporting and 
Disclosure Act (29 U.S.C. 431 et seq.) is amended by inserting after

        the labor organization for the forthcoming fiscal year, to the 
        extent the specific nature is known to the labor organization 
        and including the total amount of such proposed expenditures; 
        and
            ``(2) a disclosure of how each officer of the labor

            ``(2) the full, free, and written authorization for such 
        expenditures has been granted by a majority of the members of 
        the labor organization.
    ``(c) Mechanism for Obtaining Authorization.--Not later than 1 year 
after the date of enactment of the Union Member Protection Act, every 
labor organization shall adopt a mechanism for obtaining, by secret 
ballot, the authorization of its members as required under subsection 
(b)(2).
    ``(d) Liability.--The officers of a labor organization who 
authorize an expenditure without first obtaining the authorization of 
members required under subsection (b)(2) shall be jointly and severally 
liable in any action brought in any court of competent jurisdiction to 
any member of the labor organization or class of members for the amount 
of dues paid by such member or class of member during the 1 year period 
prior to the date that such expenditure was made.
    ``(e) Definition of Expenditure for Political Activities.--As used 
in this section:
            ``(1) The term `expenditure for political activities' 
        means--
                    ``(A) an independent expenditure, as such term is 
                defined in section 301(17) of the Federal Election

                described in subparagraph (A).
            ``(2) Such term shall not include--

                solicitation of contributions to a separate segregated 
                fund to be utilized for political purposes by a labor 
                organization.''.

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``American Savings Promotion Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the annual savings rate in the United States was 4.1 
        percent in 2012;
            (2) more than 40 percent of American households lack the 
        savings to cover basic expenses for 3 months, if an unexpected 
        event leads to a loss of stable income;
            (3) personal savings provide Americans with the financial 
        resources to meet future needs, including higher education and 
        homeownership, while also providing a safety net to weather 
        unexpected financial shocks;
            (4) prize-linked savings products are typical savings 
        products offered by financial institutions, like savings 
        accounts, certificates of deposit, and savings bonds, with the 
        added feature of offering chances to win prizes based on 
        deposit activity;
            (5) the State of Michigan was the first State to allow 
        credit unions to offer prize-linked savings products, and in 
        2009 launched the first large-scale prize-linked savings 
        product in the United States;
            (6) the States of Connecticut, Michigan, Maine, Maryland, 
        Nebraska, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Washington all have 
        laws that allow financial institutions to offer prize-linked 
        savings products;
            (7) in the States of Michigan and Nebraska, more than 
        42,000 individuals have opened prize-linked savings accounts 
        and saved more than $72,000,000;
            (8) prize-linked savings products have been shown to 
        successfully attract non-savers, the asset poor, and low-to-
        moderate income groups, providing individuals with a new tool 
        to build personal savings; and
            (9) encouraging personal savings is in the national 
        interest of the United States.

SEC. 3. AMENDMENT TO DEFINITIONS OF ``LOTTERY''.

SOLUTION:
American Savings Promotion Act - Amends the Revised Statutes of the United States, the Federal Reserve Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, and the Home Owners' Loan Act to authorize covered financial institutions to conduct a contest, known as a &quot;savings promotion raffle,&quot; in which the sole consideration required for a chance of winning designated prizes is obtained by the deposit of a specified amount of money in a savings account or program, where each ticket or entry has an equal chance of being drawn. Subjects such a drawing contest to regulations promulgated by the appropriate prudential regulator. Excludes such a &quot;savings promotion raffle&quot; from the prohibition against a covered financial institution's dealing in &quot;lottery&quot; tickets. Amends the federal criminal code to exempt savings promotion raffles conducted by an insured depository institution or an insured credit union from specified prohibitions against interstate and foreign travel or transportation in aid of racketeering enterprises.
