Q: 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 
section 201 the following:

            ``(1) a description of the specific nature of any 
        expenditures for political activities proposed to be made by 
        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 
        organization voted to authorize or not to authorize each 
        expenditure for political activities made by the labor 
        organization during the preceding fiscal year.
    ``(b) Restriction on Expenditures.--No labor organization shall 
make any expenditure for political activities in any fiscal year 
unless--

        by the labor organization pursuant to subsection (a); and
            ``(2) the full, free, and written authorization for such 
        expenditures has been granted by a majority of the members of 
        the labor organization.

    ``(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 
                Campaign Act of 1971 (2 U.S.C. 431(17));
                    ``(B) contributions to any political party,

                reasonably be anticipated to be, used for the purposes 
                described in subparagraph (A).
            ``(2) Such term shall not include--

Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Safer Officers and Safer Citizens 
Act of 2017''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) While police body worn cameras are not a panacea, they 
        do contribute to keeping both law enforcement officers and 
        citizens safer.
            (2) Increasing the use of body worn cameras by law 
        enforcement officers has been shown by multiple studies to 
        significantly reduce the number of use of force incidents and 
        the number of citizen complaints.
            (3) Increased accountability and transparency in policing 
        activities will benefit all our citizens, including our law 
        enforcement officers.

SEC. 3. GRANT PROGRAM.

    Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 
(42 U.S.C. 3711 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following:

  ``PART MM--GRANT PROGRAM FOR BODY WORN CAMERAS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT 
                                OFFICERS

``SEC. 3031. PROGRAM AUTHORIZED.

            ``(1) distributed directly to the State, unit of local 
        government, or Indian tribe; and
            ``(2) used for the purchase of--
                    ``(A) body worn cameras for law enforcement 
                officers; and
                    ``(B) necessary initial supportive technological

    ``(c) Preferential Consideration.--In awarding grants under this 
part, the Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance shall give 
preferential consideration, if feasible, to an application from a 
jurisdiction that--
            ``(1) has in place a comprehensive policy that is--
                    ``(A) developed in consultation with a broad group 
                of criminal justice experts and community members, and 
                that contains policies and procedures addressing 
                deployment, video capture, privacy protections, 
                viewing, use, release, storage, retention, the effect 
                on community-police interactions, and audits and

                juvenile advocacy, the media, and the public; and
                    ``(C) informed by the best practices on body worn 
                cameras developed by the Department of Justice;

        average as determined by the Bureau of Justice Statistics; and
            ``(4) commits to submitting such metrics on the usage of 
        body worn cameras, in such a format and at such a time as the 
        Department of Justice shall reasonably specify, for the 
        purposes of collecting and studying data on the effectiveness 
        of body worn cameras to increase safety for both law 
        enforcement officers and citizens.
    ``(d) Matching Funds.--The portion of the costs of a program 
provided by a grant under subsection (a) may not exceed 75 percent. Any 
funds appropriated by Congress for the activities of any agency of an 
Indian tribal government or the Bureau of Indian Affairs performing law 
enforcement functions on any Indian lands may be used to provide the 
non-Federal share of a matching requirement funded under this 
subsection.

``SEC. 3032. APPLICATIONS.

    ``(a) In General.--To request a grant under this part, the chief 
executive of a State, unit of local government, or Indian tribe shall 
submit an application to the Director of the Bureau of Justice 
Assistance in such form and containing such information as the Director 
may reasonably require.
    ``(b) Regulations.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
enactment of this part, the Director of the Bureau of Justice 
Assistance shall promulgate regulations to implement this section, 
including the information that must be included and the requirements 
that the States, units of local government, and Indian tribes must meet 
in submitting the applications required under this section.

``SEC. 3033. DEFINITIONS.

    ``For purposes of this part--
            ``(1) the term `Indian tribe' has the same meaning as in 
        section 4(e) of the Indian Self-Determination and Education 
        Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450b(e));
            ``(2) the term `law enforcement officer' means any officer, 
        agent, or employee of a State, unit of local government, or 
        Indian tribe authorized by law or by a government agency to 
        engage in or supervise the prevention, detection, or 
        investigation of any violation of criminal law, or authorized 
        by law to supervise sentenced criminal offenders;
            ``(3) the term `State' means each of the 50 States, the 
        District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the 
        United States Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the 
        Northern Mariana Islands; and
            ``(4) the term `unit of local government' means a county, 
        municipality, town, township, village, parish, borough, or 
        other unit of general government below the State level.

``SEC. 3034. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

    ``(b) Remaining Funds.--Any amounts made available to carry out 
this part that are unobligated at the end of each fiscal year, shall be 
returned to the general fund of the Treasury for debt reduction.''.

SEC. 4. OFFSET.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 2010, the most current year for which figures are 
        available, the Federal Government spent $1,670,000,000 
        operating and maintaining unutilized and underutilized 
        buildings.
            (2) Federal agencies have consistently indicated that the 
        disposal efforts of the agencies are often hampered by 
        statutory requirements.
    (b) Offset.--Notwithstanding subtitle I of title 40, United States 
Code, or any other provision of law, the Administrator of General 
Services, in consultation with the Director of the Office of Management 
and Budget, may immediately identify and dispose of, through sale at 
fair market value or demolition if unsuitable for sale, the most 
financially burdensome excess Federal property, so as to generate not 
more than $500,000,000 in savings by the end of fiscal year 2022.

A: Safer Officers and Safer Citizens Act of 2017 This bill amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to authorize the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance to award matching grants to states, local governments, and Indian tribes to purchase body-worn cameras.  The Bureau of Justice Assistance must give preference to grant applications from jurisdictions that: (1) have comprehensive policies and procedures related to implementation of a body-worn camera program, (2) have high percentages of officers without access to body-worn cameras, (3) have violent crime rates above the national average, and (4) agree to submit metrics on the use of body-worn cameras.  As an offset, the bill allows the General Services Administration to identify and dispose of (i.e., sell or demolish) excess federal property. 
****
Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Smarter Approach to Nuclear 
Expenditures Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Berlin Wall fell in 1989, the Soviet Union no 
        longer exists, and the Cold War is over. The nature of threats 
        to the national security and military interests of the United 
        States has changed. However, the United States continues to 
        maintain an excessively large and costly arsenal of nuclear 
        weapons and delivery systems that are a holdover from the Cold 
        War.
            (2) The current nuclear arsenal of the United States 
        includes approximately 4,000 total nuclear warheads in its 
        military stockpile, of which approximately 1,750 are deployed 
        with five delivery components: land-based intercontinental 
        ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, 
        long-range strategic bomber aircraft armed with nuclear gravity 
        bombs, long-range strategic bomber aircraft armed with nuclear-
        armed air-launched cruise missiles, and short-range fighter 
        aircraft that can deliver nuclear gravity bombs. The strategic 
        bomber fleet of the United States comprises 89 B-52 and 20 B-2 
        aircraft, of which 60 are believed to contribute to the nuclear 
        mission. The United States maintains approximately 400 
        intercontinental ballistic missiles. The United States also 
        maintains 14 Ohio-class submarines, up to 12 of which are 
        deployed at sea. Each of those submarines is armed with 
        approximately 80 independently targetable nuclear warheads.
            (3) The maintenance of this force comes at significant 
        cost. Between fiscal years 2017 and 2026, the United States 
        will spend approximately $400,000,000 to maintain and 
        recapitalize its nuclear force, according to a February 2017 
        report from the Congressional Budget Office. Over 30 years, 
        spending on nuclear forces could exceed $1,000,000,000,000.
            (4) Numerous United States Government officials have warned 
        of the affordability problem posed by the current nuclear 
        weapons sustainment plans, cautioning that those plans cannot 
        be executed in the absence of significant long-term increases 
        to defense spending or cuts to other military priorities. For 
        example, Brian McKeon, former Principal Deputy Under Secretary 
        of Defense stated in October 2015, ``We're looking at that big 
        bow wave [in nuclear weapons spending] and wondering how the 
        heck we're going to pay for it, and probably thanking our lucky 
        stars we won't be here to answer the question.''.
            (5) An April 2017 Government Accountability Office report 
        found that there is a significant mismatch between the 25-year 
        plan of the Department of Energy to refurbish the Nation's 
        nuclear warheads and supporting infrastructure, and the 
        Department's budget estimates. The report also found that key 
        warhead life extension programs are likely underfunded.
            (6) According to the Congressional Budget Office's 2017 
        long-term budget outlook report, discretionary spending, 
        including national defense spending, is likely to continue to 
        be constrained even after the expiration of sequestration under 
        part C of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act 
        of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 900 et seq.), as amended by the Budget 
        Control Act of 2011 (Public Law 112-25; 125 Stat. 240), as a 
        result of an aging population, rising health care costs, and 
        the rising interest on the national debt.
            (7) A substantial decrease in spending on the nuclear 
        arsenal of the United States is prudent for both the budget and 
        national security. The current plans to sustain the United 
        States nuclear arsenal assume that the United States will 
        maintain a nuclear arsenal like the one it has now for decades 
        to come. However, the Department of Defense's June 2013 nuclear 
        policy guidance entitled, ``Report on Nuclear Employment 
        Strategy of the United States'' found that force levels under 
        the Treaty between the United States of America and the Russian 
        Federation on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation 
        of Strategic Offensive Arms, signed on April 8, 2010, and 
        entered into force on February 5, 2011 (commonly known as the 
        ``New START Treaty''), ``are more than adequate for what the 
        United States needs to fulfill its national security 
        objectives'' and can be reduced by up to one-third below levels 
        under the New START Treaty to 1,000 to 1,100 warheads.
            (8) A December 2016 Congressional Budget Office report 
        showed that at least 10 percent of the projected costs of 
        nuclear forces over the next decade can be saved by trimming 
        back the current plans, while still maintaining a triad of 
        delivery systems. Even larger savings would accrue over the 
        subsequent decade.
            (9) Even without additional reductions below the New START 
        Treaty limit of 1,550 deployed strategic warheads, the United 
        States can save tens of billions of dollars by deploying those 
        warheads more efficiently on delivery systems and by deferring 
        production of new delivery systems until they are needed.
            (10) As it undertakes its Nuclear Posture Review in 2017, 
        President Donald Trump must seriously examine options to 
        reshape and rescale the plans and adequately fund a smaller 
        number of projects that would still leave the United States 
        with a capable and credible deterrent.
