Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Holocaust Victim Insurance Relief 
Act of 1998''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) During World War II, 6,000,000 victims of the Holocaust 
        lost their lives and property.
            (2) In addition to the many atrocities that befell the 
        victims of the Nazi regime, many of the insurance claims that 
        rightfully should have been paid to the victims and their 
        families were not.
            (3) In many instances, insurance company records are the 
        only proof of the existence of these insurance policies 
        belonging to Holocaust victims.
            (4) Many Holocaust survivors and their descendants have 
        been fighting for 50 years to persuade insurance companies to 
        settle unpaid claims.
            (5) Holocaust survivors and families of victims have asked 
        that insurance companies disclose any information they possess 
        that could show proof of insurance policies held by Holocaust 
        victims and survivors.
            (6) Insurance companies doing business in the United States 
        have a responsibility to ensure that any involvement they or 
        their related companies may have had with insurance policies of 
        Holocaust victims are disclosed to the Federal Government and 
        to ensure the rapid resolution of these questions, eliminating 
        the further victimization of these policyholders and their 
        families.
            (7) The international Jewish community is negotiating with 
        responsible insurance companies to establish an international 
        commission to resolve the issue of outstanding insurance 
        claims.

SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT OF HOLOCAUST INSURANCE REGISTRY.

    The Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of State, and Secretary of 
Commerce shall jointly establish and maintain a central registry 
containing records and information relating to insurance policies of 
victims, living and deceased, of the Holocaust. The registry shall be 
known as the Holocaust Insurance Registry and shall be accessible to 
the public.

SEC. 4. FULL DISCLOSURE BY INSURANCE FIRMS.

    Any insurer currently doing business in the United States that sold 
life, property, liability, health, annuity, dowry, educational, or 
casualty insurance policies, directly or through a related company, to 
persons in Europe, which were in effect between 1920 and 1945, whether 
the sale occurred before or after the insurer and the related company 
became related, shall, within 180 days following the date of the 
enactment of this Act, file or cause to be filed the following 
information with the Departments of the Treasury, State, or Commerce to 
be entered into the Holocaust Insurance Registry:

        policies.
            (3) A comparison of the names of holders and beneficiaries 
        of such policies and the names of the victims of the Holocaust.
The names of victims of the Holocaust shall be provided by the 
Department of State and may additionally be obtained from the Yad 
Vashem repository in Israel.

SEC. 5. CERTIFICATION BY INSURANCE COMPANIES.

    Each insurer subject to section 4 shall certify under penalty of 
perjury to any of the following:
            (1) The proceeds of the policies described in section 4 
        have been paid to the designated beneficiaries or their heirs 
        where that person or persons, after diligent search, could be 
        located and identified.
            (2) The proceeds of the policies where the beneficiaries or 
        heirs could not, after diligent search, be located or 
        identified, have been distributed to Holocaust survivors or to 
        qualified charitable nonprofit organizations for the purpose of 
        assisting Holocaust survivors.
            (3) A court of law has certified in a legal proceeding 
        resolving the rights of unpaid policyholders, their heirs, and 
        beneficiaries, a plan for the distribution of the proceeds.
            (4) The proceeds have not been distributed and the amount 
        of those proceeds.
An insurer currently doing business in the United States that did not 
sell any insurance policies in Europe prior to 1945, shall not be

and currently doing business in the United States, has made a filing 
under this section.
