    (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.

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.

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.
[A]: 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.

[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Project Ready STEM Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Minorities are seriously underrepresented in the 
        science and engineering workforce in the United States, with 
        only 4 percent of the Black population and slightly over 4 
        percent of the Hispanic population participating in the STEM 
        workforce.
            (2) The number of degrees awarded in the fields of science, 
        technology, engineering, and math (referred to in this Act as 
        ``STEM'') in the United States is stagnant even though 
        employment projections forecast a 17-percent growth in STEM 
        fields over the next decade.
            (3) Twenty percent of Black college students enter college 
        with STEM majors, but only 15 percent actually receive a 
        bachelor's degree in a STEM major.
            (4) Nearly \1/4\ of Black public school students are 
        interested in STEM, but are not proficient in math.
            (5) Since 1990, mathematic scores on the assessments 
        conducted by the National Assessment of Education Progress have 
        increased for all students, but White students have average 
        scores 26 points higher than Black and Hispanic students.
            (6) After school programs play an important role in 
        addressing the achievement gap in underserved communities. 
        Studies demonstrate that STEM learning during the school day is 
        necessary but not sufficient for life-long STEM literacy.
            (7) As many as 8,400,000 students are enrolled in after 
        school programs. Ethnic minority children are more likely than 
        non-minority children to participate in after school programs. 
        While 15 percent of all students are enrolled in after school 
        programs, 24 percent of Black students and 21 percent of 
        Hispanic students are enrolled in such programs.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to prepare middle school 
and secondary school students to be ready for opportunities in the STEM 
fields in college and in careers through strong after school, summer, 
and weekend programs that focus on STEM education.

SEC. 3. AMENDMENT TO ESEA FOR STEM GRANTS.

    Title II of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1964 (20 
U.S.C. 6601 et seq.) is amended--
            (1) in the heading, by inserting ``and stem grants'' after 
        ``partnerships'';
            (2) by inserting after the heading of part B the following:

             ``Subpart 1--Math and Science Partnerships'';

        and
            (3) by inserting after section 2203 the following new 
        subpart:

                        ``Subpart 2--STEM Grants

``SEC. 2211. PROJECT READY STEM GRANT PROGRAM.

    ``(a) Authorization.--The Secretary is authorized to award grants,

Project Ready STEM Act - Amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to authorize the Secretary of Education to award grants to national intermediaries and, through them, subgrants to their community-based affiliates to operate after school, summer, and weekend programs that focus on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education.

Defines a "national intermediary" as a national private nonprofit organization that has: (1) a network comprising community-based affiliates in at least 50 urban communities, (2) expertise in overseeing programs to help middle and secondary school students succeed, and (3) operated in at least 25 states continuously for at least 20 years.

Requires the STEM programs to primarily serve students who are traditionally underrepresented in STEM field careers, and include project-based learning opportunities and individualized instruction.

Directs each subgrantee to collaborate with an institution of higher education in providing such services.

Requires grantees to direct at least: (1) 50% of their grant to community-based affiliates that are successfully operating STEM programs so that they can expand them to reach more students traditionally underrepresented in STEM field careers, and (2) 25% of their grant to the development of STEM programs by community-based affiliates not currently operating any.
