        described in subsection (b) shall be adjusted by the Attorney 
        General to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent 
        residence, if the alien--
                    (A) applies for such adjustment; and
                    (B) is otherwise eligible to receive an immigrant 
                visa and is otherwise admissible to the United States 
                for permanent residence, except in determining such

                212(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act shall not 
                apply.
            (2) Relationship of application to certain orders.--An 
        alien present in the United States who has been ordered 
        excluded, deported, removed, or ordered to depart voluntarily 
        from the United States under any provision of the Immigration 
        and Nationality Act may, notwithstanding such order, apply for

        be required, as a condition on submitting or granting such 
        application, to file a motion to reopen, reconsider, or vacate 
        such order. If the Attorney General grants the application, the 
        Attorney General shall cancel the order. If the Attorney 
        General renders a final administrative decision to deny the 
        application, the order shall be effective and enforceable to 
        the same extent as if the application had not been made.
    (b) Aliens Eligible for Adjustment of Status.--The benefits 
provided by subsection (a) shall apply to any alien who--
            (1) at the time of application has not attained the age of 
        12 years;
            (2) is physically present in the United States; and
            (3) has no living legally-recognized parent.
    (c) Stay of Removal.--

        or removal or exclusion to seek a stay of such order based on 
        the filing of an application under subsection (a).
            (2) During certain proceedings.--Notwithstanding any 
        provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Attorney 
        General shall not order any alien to be removed from the United 
        States, if the alien is in exclusion, deportation, or removal 
        proceedings under any provision of such Act and raises as a 
        defense to such an order the eligibility of the alien to apply 
        for adjustment of status under subsection (a), except where the 
        Attorney General has rendered a final administrative 
        determination to deny the application.
    (d) Availability of Administrative Review.--The Attorney General 
shall provide to applicants for adjustment of status under subsection 
(a) the same right to, and procedures for, administrative review as are 
provided to--
            (1) applicants for adjustment of status under section 245 
        of the Immigration and Nationality Act; or
            (2) aliens subject to removal proceedings under section 240 
        of such Act.
    (e) No Offset in Number of Visas Available.--When an alien is 
granted the status of having been lawfully admitted for permanent 
residence pursuant to this section, the Secretary of State shall not be 
required to reduce the number of immigrant visas authorized to be 
issued under any provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
    (f) Application of Immigration and Nationality Act Provisions.--
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Act, the definitions 
contained in the Immigration and Nationality Act shall apply in the

held to repeal, amend, alter, modify, effect, or restrict the powers, 
duties, functions, or authority of the Attorney General in the 
administration and enforcement of such Act or any other law relating to 
immigration, nationality, or naturalization. The fact that an alien may 
be eligible to be granted the status of having been lawfully admitted 
for permanent residence under this section shall not preclude the alien 
from seeking such status under any other provision of law for which the 
alien may be eligible.

SEC. 2. DEFERRED ENFORCED DEPARTURE FOR ANY ALIEN NATURAL AND LEGAL 
              PARENT OF A CHILD BORN IN THE UNITED STATES WHO IS LESS

        from the United States under any provision of the Immigration 
        and Nationality Act may, notwithstanding such order, apply for 
        deferral of enforced departure under paragraph (1). Such an 
        alien may not be required, as a condition on submitting or 
        granting such application, to file a motion to reopen, 
        reconsider, or vacate such order. If the Attorney General 
        grants the application, the Attorney General shall cancel the

provided by subsection (a) shall apply to any alien who--
            (1) is physically present in the United States; and

            (2) During certain proceedings.--Notwithstanding any 
        provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Attorney 
        General shall not order any alien to be removed from the United 
        States, if the alien is in exclusion, deportation, or removal 
        proceedings under any provision of such Act and raises as a 
        defense to such an order the eligibility of the alien to apply 
        for adjustment of status under subsection (a), except where the 
        Attorney General has rendered a final administrative 
        determination to deny the application.
    (d) Availability of Administrative Review.--The Attorney General

        authorize an alien who has applied for deferred enforced 
        departure under subsection (a) to engage in employment in the 
        United States during the pendency of such application and may 
        provide the alien with an ``employment authorized'' endorsement 
        or other appropriate document signifying authorization of 
        employment, except that if such application is pending for a 
        period exceeding 180 days, and has not been denied, the 
        Attorney General shall authorize such employment.
            (2) During deferred enforced departure period.--The 
        Attorney General shall authorize an alien who is granted 
        deferred enforced departure under subsection (a) to engage in 
        employment in the United States during any period in which 
        deferred enforced departure applies.
    (f) Application of Immigration and Nationality Act Provisions.--
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Act, the definitions 
contained in the Immigration and Nationality Act shall apply in the 
administration of this section. Nothing contained in this Act shall be 
held to repeal, amend, alter, modify, effect, or restrict the powers, 
duties, functions, or authority of the Attorney General in the 
administration and enforcement of such Act or any other law relating to 
immigration, nationality, or naturalization. The fact that an alien may 
be eligible to be granted deferred enforced departure status under this 
section shall not preclude the alien from seeking immigration status 
under any other provision of law for which the alien may be eligible.

            (3) in paragraph (4)(B), by striking ``(and shall include, 
        in the case of an individual to whom paragraph (1)(C)(i)

    (b) Definition of a Qualified State Long-Term Care Insurance 
Partnership.--Section 1917(e) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 
1396p(e)) is amended by inserting at the end the following:
            ``(6) The term `Qualified State Long-Term Care Insurance 
        Partnership' means a State plan amendment that provides for the 
        disregard of any assets or resources in an amount equal to the 
        insurance benefits payments that are made under a long-term 
        care insurance policy (including a certificate issued under a 
        group insurance contract), but only if--
                    ``(A) the policy covers an insured who, at the time 
                coverage under the policy first becomes effective, is a 
                resident of such State or of a State that maintains a 
                Qualified Long-Term Care Insurance Partnership;
                    ``(B) the policy is a qualified long-term care 
                insurance contract within the meaning of section 
                7702B(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986;
                    ``(C) the policy provides some level of inflation 
                protection;
                    ``(D) the policy satisfies any requirements of 
                State or other applicable law that apply to a long-term 
                care insurance policy; and
                    ``(E) the issuer of the policy reports--
                            ``(i) to the Secretary, such information or 
                        data as the Secretary may require; and
                            ``(ii) to the State, the information or 
                        data reported to the Secretary (if any), the 
                        information or data required under the minimum 
                        reporting requirements developed under section 
                        2(c)(1) of the State Long-Term Care Partnership 
                        Act of 2005, and such additional information or 
                        data as the State may require.
        For purposes of applying this paragraph, if a long-term care 
        insurance policy is exchanged for another such policy, the date 
        coverage became effective under the first policy shall 
        determine when coverage first becomes effective.''.
    (c) Regulatory Authority.--Not later than 6 months after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services 
(in this subsection and subsection (d) referred to as the 
``Secretary''), in consultation with the National Association of 
Insurance Commissioners, issuers of long-term care insurance policies, 
States with experience with long-term care insurance partnership plans, 
and other States, shall develop the following requirements and 
standards:
            (1) Minimum, consistent reporting requirements.--
                    (A) In general.--Minimum reporting requirements for 
                issuers of long-term care insurance policies under 
                Qualified State Long-Term Care Insurance Partnerships 
                that shall specify the data and information that each 
                such issuer shall report to the State with which it has 
                such a partnership. The requirements developed in 
                accordance with this paragraph shall specify the type 
                and format of the data and information to be reported 
                and the frequency with which such reports are to be 
                made.
                    (B) State required data.--Nothing in subparagraph 
                (A) shall be construed as prohibiting a State from 
                requiring an issuer of a long-term care insurance 
                policy sold in the State (regardless of whether the 
                policy is issued under a Qualified State Long-Term Care 
                Insurance Partnership) to require the issuer to report 
                State information or data to the State that is in 
                addition to the information or data required under the 
                minimum reporting requirements developed under that 
                subparagraph.
            (2) Reciprocity standards.--Standards for ensuring that 
        long-term care insurance policies issued under a Qualified 
        State Long-Term Care Insurance Partnership are portable to 
        other States with such a partnership.
    (d) Consumer Education.--The Secretary shall establish procedures 
for educating consumers regarding Qualified State Long-Term Care 
Insurance Partnerships and long-term care insurance policies issued in 
connection with such partnerships.
    (e) Annual Reports to Congress.--The Secretary shall annually 
report to Congress on the Qualified State Long-Term Care Insurance 
Partnerships established in accordance with subsections (b)(1)(C)(ii) 
and (e)(6) of section 1917 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 
1396p).
    (f) Effective Date.--The amendments made by subsections (a) and (b) 
take effect on October 1, 2005.

SOLUTION: State Long-Term Care Partnership Act of 2005 - Amends title XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act to provide for establishment of long-term care insurance partnerships between states and insurers (Qualified State Long-Term Care Insurance Partnerships (QSLTCIPs)). Defines a QSLTCIP as a state plan amendment that provides for the disregard of any assets or resources in an amount equal to the insurance benefits payments made under a long-term care insurance policy (including a certificate issued under a group insurance contract), but only if the policy meets certain requirements, including coverage of an insured who, at the time coverage first becomes effective, is a resident of such state or of a state that maintains a QSLTCIP.

Directs the Secretary to establish procedures for educating consumers regarding QSLTCIPs and long-term care insurance policies issued in connection with them.

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Student Non-Discrimination Act of 
2011''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Public school students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual 
        or transgender (LGBT), or are perceived to be LGBT, or who 
        associate with LGBT people, have been and are subjected to 
        pervasive discrimination, including harassment, bullying, 
        intimidation and violence, and have been deprived of equal 
        educational opportunities, in schools in every part of our 
        Nation.
            (2) While discrimination, including harassment, bullying, 
        intimidation and violence, of any kind is harmful to students 
        and to our education system, actions that target students based 
        on sexual orientation or gender identity represent a distinct 
        and especially severe problem.
            (3) Numerous social science studies demonstrate that 
        discrimination, including harassment, bullying, intimidation 
        and violence, at school has contributed to high rates of 
        absenteeism, dropout, adverse health consequences, and academic 
        underachievement among LGBT youth.
            (4) When left unchecked, discrimination, including 
        harassment, bullying, intimidation and violence, in schools 
        based on sexual orientation or gender identity can lead, and 
        has lead to, life-threatening violence and to suicide.
            (5) Public school students enjoy a variety of 
        constitutional rights, including rights to equal protection, 
        privacy, and free expression, which are infringed when school 
        officials engage in discriminatory treatment or are indifferent 
        to discrimination, including harassment, bullying, intimidation 
        and violence, on the basis of sexual orientation or gender 
        identity.
            (6) While Federal statutory protections expressly address 
        discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, 
        disability, and national origin, Federal civil rights statutes 
        do not expressly include ``sexual orientation'' or ``gender 
        identity''. As a result, students and parents have often had 
        limited legal recourse to redress for discrimination on the 
        basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to ensure that all students have access to public 
        education in a safe environment free from discrimination, 
        including harassment, bullying, intimidation and violence, on 
        the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity;
            (2) to provide a comprehensive Federal prohibition of 
        discrimination in public schools based on actual or perceived 
        sexual orientation or gender identity;
            (3) to provide meaningful and effective remedies for 
        discrimination in public schools based on actual or perceived 
        sexual orientation or gender identity;
            (4) to invoke congressional powers, including but not 
        limited to the power to enforce the 14th Amendment to the 
        Constitution and to provide for the general welfare pursuant to 
        section 8 of article I of the Constitution and the power to 
        enact all laws necessary and proper for the execution of the 
        foregoing powers pursuant to section 8 of article I of the 
        Constitution, in order to prohibit discrimination in public 
        schools on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity; 
        and
            (5) to allow the Department of Education to effectively 
        combat discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender 
        identity in public schools through regulation and enforcement, 
        as the Department has issued regulations under and enforced 
        title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and other 
        nondiscrimination laws in a manner that effectively addresses 
        discrimination.

SEC. 5. FEDERAL ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT; REPORT TO CONGRESSIONAL 
              COMMITTEES.

    Each Federal department and agency which is empowered to extend 
Federal financial assistance to any education program or activity, by 
way of grant, loan, or contract other than a contract of insurance or 
guaranty, is authorized and directed to effectuate the provisions of 
section 4 of this Act with respect to such program or activity by 
issuing rules, regulations, or orders of general applicability which 
shall be consistent with achievement of the objectives of the Act 
authorizing the financial assistance in connection with which the 
action is taken. No such rule, regulation, or order shall become 
effective unless and until approved by the President. Compliance with 
any requirement adopted pursuant to this section may be effected--
            (1) by the termination of or refusal to grant or to 
        continue assistance under such program or activity to any 
        recipient as to whom there has been an express finding on the 
        record, after opportunity for hearing, of a failure to comply 
        with such requirement, but such termination or refusal shall be 
        limited to the particular political entity, or part thereof, or 
        other recipient as to whom such a finding has been made, and 
        shall be limited in its effect to the particular program, or 
        part thereof, in which such noncompliance has been so found, or
            (2) by any other means authorized by law,
except that no such action shall be taken until the department or 
agency concerned has advised the appropriate person or persons of the 
failure to comply with the requirement and has determined that 
compliance cannot be secured by voluntary means. In the case of any 
action terminating, or refusing to grant or continue, assistance 
because of failure to comply with a requirement imposed pursuant to 
this section, the head of the Federal department or agency shall file 
with the committees of the House and Senate having legislative 
jurisdiction over the program or activity involved a full written 
report of the circumstances and the grounds for such action. No such 
action shall become effective until 30 days have elapsed after the 
filing of such report.

SEC. 6. CAUSE OF ACTION.

    (b) Rule of Construction.--This section shall not be construed to 
preclude an aggrieved individual from obtaining other remedies under

section, the statute of limitations period shall be determined in

for a violation of section 4 of this Act.
    (c) Remedies.--In a suit against a State for a violation of this

available for such a violation in the suit against any public or 
private entity other than a State.

religious and other student groups under the 1st Amendment to the 
Constitution and the Equal Access Act (20 U.S.C. 4071 et seq.).
