SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Diverse Teachers Recruitment Act of 
2010''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Department of Education statistics reveal a lack of 
        diversity among public schoolteachers. During the school year 
        of 2007 through 2008, an estimated 83.1 percent of public 
        schoolteachers were Caucasian, while 7.1 percent were Latino, 7 
        percent were African-American, and 1.2 percent were Asian. Of 
        all public schoolteachers, 24.1 percent were male and 75.9 
        percent were female.
            (2) Some experts believe the lack of diversity can leave 
        students in underrepresented groups without role models to whom 
        they can relate, which may lead to poorer performance in the 
        classroom. Statistics show that students in some 
        underrepresented groups have lower standardized test scores and 
        lower graduation rates.
            (3) Teacher demographics should better reflect those of the 
        population as a whole, ensuring that students have role models 
        from diverse backgrounds and racial and ethnic groups and of 
        different genders.

SEC. 3. RECRUITMENT, TRAINING, AND RETENTION OF TEACHERS FROM 
              UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS.

    (a) In General.--Title II of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6601 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end 
the following new part:

    ``PART E--RECRUITMENT, TRAINING, AND RETENTION OF TEACHERS FROM 
                        UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS

``SEC. 2501. GRANT PROGRAM.

    ``(a) Authorization.--From amounts appropriated under section 2505,

                significant number of individuals from underrepresented 
                groups; and
                    ``(B) a description of the difficulty recruiting,

    ``(c) Priority.--In making grants under subsection (a), the 
Secretary shall give priority to--

            ``(1) In general.--The Secretary may not make a grant to an 
        eligible entity under subsection (a) unless the eligible entity 
        agrees that, with respect to the costs to be incurred by the 
        eligible entity in carrying out the activities for which the 
        grant is awarded, the eligible entity will make available non-
        Federal contributions in an amount equal to not less than 10 
        percent of the Federal funds provided under the grant.
            ``(2) Satisfying matching requirement.--The non-Federal 
        contributions required under paragraph (1) may be--
                    ``(A) in cash or in-kind, including services,

                        educational agency.
            ``(3) Waiver.--The Secretary may waive or reduce the non-
        Federal contribution required by paragraph (1) if the eligible 
        entity involved demonstrates that it cannot meet the 
        contribution requirement due to financial hardship.

  TITLE III--SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING MULTIEMPLOYER PENSION PLANS

SEC. 121. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING MULTIEMPLOYER PENSION PLANS.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
            (1) Multiemployer pension plans have been a major force in 
        the delivery of employee benefits to active and retired 
        American workers and their dependents for over half a century.
            (2) There are approximately 1,700 multiemployer defined 
        benefit pension plans in which approximately 9,700,000 workers 
        and retirees participate.
            (3) Three-quarters of the approximately 60,000 to 65,000 
        employers that participate in multiemployer plans have fewer 
        that 100 employees.
            (4) Multiemployer plans allow for greater access and 
        affordability for smaller employers and pension portability for 
        their employees as they move from one job to another, and 
        permit workers to earn a pension where they might otherwise not 
        be able to do so.
            (5) The 2000-2002 drop in the stock market and decline in 
        equity values has affected all investors, including 
        multiemployer plans.
            (6) The decline in value sustained by multiemployer defined 
        benefit pension plans have threatened the stability of this 
        private sector source of secure retirement income.
            (7) Participating employers could face onerous excise taxes 
        and other penalties as a result of the serious, adverse 
        financial impact due to these market losses.
            (8) In 2004, the United States Senate recognized the 
        severity of this situation and passed by an overwhelmingly, 
        large bipartisan margin of 86 to 9 temporary relief provisions 
        for single and multiemployer defined benefit pension plans.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
Senate--
            (1) expresses its strong support for multiemployer defined 
        benefit pension plans;
            (2) recognizes the importance of an environment in which 
        multiemployer plans can continue their vital role in providing 
        benefits to working men and women;
            (3) recognizes that multiemployer pension plan relief must 
        be designed for the multiemployer labor-relations environment 
        that supports the plans; and
            (4) supports legislation to strengthen and protect the 
        viability of multiemployer pension plans for the continued 
        benefit of current and retired members, and their families and 
        survivors, and to strengthen the ability of all plans to 
        address funding problems that occur.
answer:
Amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) to deny any force or effect to any portion of a rule promulgated on April 23, 2004, that has the effect of exempting from FLSA overtime compensation requirements (which limit maximum hours at regular compensation) any employee who would not otherwise be exempted if regulations in effect on March 31, 2003, remained in effect. Reinstates that portion of such regulations that would prevent such an employee from being exempt. Directs the Secretary of Labor to increase, in a specified manner, the minimum salary level for the exemption for executive, administrative, and managerial occupations from FLSA overtime compensation requirements.

Amends the FLSA to increase the Federal minimum wage to: (1) $5.85 an hour, beginning on the 60th day after enactment of this Act; (2) $6.55 an hour, beginning 12 months after that 60th day; and (3) $7.25 an hour, beginning 24 months after that 60th day.

Expresses the sense of the Senate regarding multiemployer pension plans.


question:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Clean Cookstoves and Fuels Support 
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Nearly one-half of the world's population cooks their 
        food over open fires or inefficient, polluting, and unsafe 
        cookstoves using wood, agricultural waste, dung, coal, or other 
        solid fuels. Smoke from the use of these traditional cookstoves 
        and open fires is associated with a number of chronic and acute 
        diseases and injuries, including respiratory illnesses such as 
        pneumonia, heart disease, and cancer, with women and young 
        children affected disproportionately.
            (2) The Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (referred to in 
        this paragraph as the ``Study'') doubled the mortality 
        estimates for exposure to smoke from cookstoves, referred to as 
        ``household air pollution'', from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 deaths 
        annually, which the Study indicates is more than the deaths 
        from malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS combined. The Study 
        attributes 3,500,000 deaths to cookstoves smoke exposures 
        indoors and 500,000 deaths to the contribution of cookstoves to 
        outdoor air pollution. Millions more are sickened from the 
        toxic smoke and thousands suffer burns annually from open fires 
        or unsafe cookstoves and fuels. More recently, the World Health 
        Organization found that this type of household air pollution 
        claimed 4,300,000 lives in 2012. The Study ranks household air 
        pollution as the fourth worst overall health risk factor in the 
        world and as the second worst health risk factor in the world 
        for women and girls. Cookstove smoke exposures are particularly 
        prominent in developing regions of Asia and Africa.
            (3) The amount of biomass cooking fuel required each year 
        can reach up to 2 tons per family. Where demand for local 
        biomass outstrips the natural regrowth of resources, local 
        environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity often 
        result.
            (4) Tremendous amounts of time, a burden shouldered 
        disproportionately by women and children, is spent collecting 
        and managing cooking fuel resources. As nearby fuel supplies 
        dwindle, women are forced to go farther to find fuel to cook 
        their families' meals. In some areas, such as conflict zones or 
        refugee camps, women and girls risk rape and gender-based 
        violence during the up to 20 hours per week they spend away 
        from their communities gathering firewood.
            (5) Recent studies show that black carbon created from 
        traditional cookstoves significantly contributes to regional 
        air pollution and climate change. Black carbon emissions from 
        residential cookstoves in developing countries account for an 
        estimated 21 percent of the total global inventory, and 
        mitigation in this sector represents a large potential public 
        health and environmental benefit.
            (6) The Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves is an 
        innovative public-private partnership hosted by the United 
        Nations Foundation that was created to enable the adoption of 
        clean and efficient stoves in 100,000,000 homes by 2020. The 
        Alliance works with public, private, and non-profit partners to 
        overcome market barriers that currently impede the production, 
        deployment, and use of clean cookstoves and fuels in the 
        developing world.
            (7) The United States Government has invested more than 
        $114,000,000 to the sector, including approximately $76,000,000
