SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and 
        the subsequent introduction of weapons grade anthrax into the 
        United States Postal System and Congressional office buildings 
        in Washington, D.C., the President and the Congress have worked 
        closely to respond to the need to rebuild and strengthen the 
        nation's public health, national security, and emergency 
        response systems.
            (2) Based on Article I, section 8 of the United States 
        Constitution, treaties, Federal statutes, and court decisions, 
        the United States has a unique historical and legal 
        relationship with American Indian and Alaska Native people, 
        which serves as the basis for the Federal Government's trust 
        responsibility and obligations. There are currently 558 
        federally-recognized Indian tribes in the United States, with 
        some 40 percent of Indian tribes located in the State of 
        Alaska. Indian tribes have principle responsibility for lands 
        and people within their jurisdiction.
            (3) Despite the government-to-government relationship 
        between Indian tribes and the United States, the United States 
        has failed to include and consult with Indian tribes with 
        regard to homeland security prevention, protection, and 
        response activities planning. Moreover, there are no specific 
        provisions for the Bureau of Indian Affairs or the Indian 
        Health Service to participate in homeland security programs and 
        funding.
            (4) Throughout many areas of the United States, facilities 
        operated, and services, activities and government functions 
        carried out, by Indian tribes, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and 
        the Indian Health Service are the only sources available to 
        provide emergency health services, disaster response, and law 
        enforcement to the tribal and non-tribal community, thus 
        serving the role as ``first responders'' in the event of a 
        terrorist attack.
            (5) To provide for the public health and safety on tribal 
        lands and in the surrounding communities, it is imperative to 
        establish tribal participation in homeland security 
        initiatives. Indian tribes must be included in the national 
        strategy for homeland security and receive an appropriate share 
        of related funding.
            (6) The treatment of Indian tribes as State governments, as 
        appropriate, for developing funding methodologies, planning, 
        consultation, coordination, and for eligibility for grant 
        monies will ensure Indian tribes are adequately prepared to 
        respond to Homeland Security threats.
            (7) Indian tribes shall be treated as State, as 
        appropriate, for purposes of planning, consultation, 
        coordination, eligibility for grant monies and other purposes 
        to improve the United States capacity to prepare, prevent and 
        respond to terrorist activities.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are as follows:
            (1) To establish within the Department of Homeland Security 
        an office known as the Office of Tribal Government Homeland 
        Security.
            (2) To authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to 
        appoint, in consultation with Indian tribes, a Director of 
        Tribal Government Homeland Security.
            (3) To provide for more effective management of, and 
        accountability for the proper discharge of, the Secretary's 
        trust responsibility to Indian tribes and individual American 
        Indians and Alaska Natives by establishing in the Department of 
        Homeland Security an Office of Tribal Government Homeland 
        Security.
            (4) To integrate and coordinate the efforts of the 
        Department of Homeland Security and Indian tribes to prepare 
        for, prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from 
        terrorist attacks.
            (5) To provide strategic integration of the Homeland 
        Security activities of Indian tribes that will complement the 
        operational consolidation of the various directorates within 
        the Department.
            (6) To supplement the capacity of the Indian Health Service 
        and the Bureau of Indian Affairs to respond to the homeland 
        security needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives, without 
        jeopardizing the nonsecurity missions of the Indian Health 
        Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
            (7) To serve as an information clearinghouse and to enhance 
        the integration and coordination of Indian tribes and in the 
        activities of the Department of Homeland Security.
            (8) To establish an organizational framework within the 
        Department of Homeland Security through which the Federal 
        Government, Indian tribes, and State and local governments can 
        work effectively and collaboratively on public health and 
        safety, terrorism detection, prevention, response, and 
        protection of critical infrastructure.

        submitted by the Board to the Congress under section 3(a), the 
        legislative proposal (described in section 3(a)(4)) contained 
        in the report shall be introduced (by request) in the Senate by 
        the majority leader of the Senate or by Members of the Senate 
        designated by the majority leader of the Senate and shall be 
        introduced (by request) in the House by the majority leader of 
        the House or by Members of the House designated by the majority 
        leader of the House.
            (2) Not in session.--If either House is not in session on 
        the day on which such legislative proposal is submitted, the 
        legislative proposal shall be introduced in that House, as 
        provided in subparagraph (A), on the first day thereafter on 
        which that House is in session.
            (3) Any member.--If the legislative proposal is not 
        introduced in either House within 5 days on which that House is 
        in session after the day on which the legislative proposal is 
        submitted, then any Member of that House may introduce the 
        legislative proposal.
            (4) Referral.--The legislation introduced under this 
        subsection in the House of Representatives shall be referred to 
        the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House 
        of Representatives. The legislation introduced under this 
        subsection in the Senate shall be referred to the Committee on 
        Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate.
    (b) Discharge.--If the committee to which a legislative proposal 
described in subsection (a) is referred has not reported the bill 
containing such proposal by the end of the 20-day period beginning on 
the date on which the Board submits the report to Congress under 
section 3(a), such committee shall be, at the end of such period, 
discharged from further consideration of such bill, and such bill shall 
be placed on the appropriate calendar of the House involved.
    (c) Expedited Consideration.--
            (1) Consideration.--On or after the third day after the 
        date on which the committee to which such a bill is referred 
        has reported, or has been discharged (under subsection (b)) 
        from further consideration of, such a bill, it is in order 
        (even though a previous motion to the same effect has been 
        disagreed to) for any Member of the respective House to move to 
        proceed to the consideration of the bill. A member may make the 
        motion only on the day after the calendar day on which the 
        Member announces to the House concerned the Member's intention 
        to make the motion, except that, in the case of the House of 
        Representatives, the motion may be made without such prior 
        announcement if the motion is made by direction of the 
        committee to which the bill was referred. The motion is highly 
        privileged in the House of Representatives and is privileged in 
        the Senate and is not debatable. The motion is not subject to 
        amendment, or to a motion to postpone, or to a motion to 
        proceed to the consideration of other business. A motion to 
        reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or 
        disagreed to shall not be in order. If a motion to proceed to 
        the consideration of the bill is agreed to, the respective 
        House shall immediately proceed to consideration of the bill 
        without intervening motion, order, or other business, and the 
        bill shall remain the unfinished business of the respective 
        House until disposed of.
            (2) Debate.--Debate on the bill, and on all debatable 
        motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited 
        to not more than 2 hours, which shall be divided equally 
        between those favoring and those opposing the bill. An 
        amendment to the bill is not in order. A motion further to 
        limit debate is in order and not debatable. A motion to 
        postpone, or a motion to proceed to the consideration of other 
        business, or a motion to recommit the bill is not in order. A 
        motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill is agreed to or 
        disagreed to is not in order.
            (3) Vote on final passage.--Immediately following the 
        conclusion of the debate on the bill and a single quorum call 
        at the conclusion of the debate if requested in accordance with 
        the rules of the appropriate House, the vote on final passage 
        of the bill shall occur.
            (4) Appeals.--Appeals from the decisions of the Chair 
        relating to the application of the rules of the Senate or the 
        House of Representatives, as the case may be, to the procedure 
        relating to the bill shall be decided without debate.
    (d) Consideration by Other House.--
            (1) Before passage.--If, before the passage by one House of 
        a bill of that House described in subsection (b), that House 
        receives from the other House a bill described in subsection 
        (b), then the following procedures shall apply--
                    (A) the bill of the other House shall not be 
                referred to a committee and may not be considered in 
                the House receiving it except in the case of final 
                passage as provided in subparagraph (B)(ii); and
                    (B) with respect to a bill described in subsection 
                (b) of the House receiving the bill (i) the procedure 
                in that House shall be the same as if no bill had been 
                received from the other House; but (ii) the vote on 
                final passage shall be on the bill of the other House.
            (2) After passage.--Upon disposition of the bill received 
        from the other House, it shall no longer be in order to 
        consider the bill that originated in the receiving House.
    (e) Rules of the Senate and House.--This section is enacted by 
Congress--
            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate 
        and House of Representatives, respectively, and as such it is 
        deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but 
        applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in 
        that House in the case of a bill described in subsection (b), 
        and it supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is 
        inconsistent with such rules; and
            (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
        either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the 
        procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and 
        to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that 
        House.
    (f) Calendar Day Defined.--In this section, the term ``calendar 
day'' means a calendar day other than one on which either House is not 
in session because of an adjournment of more than three days to a date 
certain.
