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

        Federal contribution required by paragraph (1) if the eligible

question:
SECTION 1. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The People's Liberation Army is the principal 
        instrument of repression within the People's Republic of China, 
        responsible for occupying Tibet since 1950, massacring hundreds 
        of students and demonstrators for democracy in Tiananmen Square 
        on June 4, 1989, and running the Laogai (``reform through 
        labor'') slave labor camps.
            (2) The People's Liberation Army is engaged in a massive 
        military buildup, which has involved a doubling since 1992 of 
        announced official figures for military spending by the 
        People's Republic of China.
            (3) The People's Liberation Army is engaging in a major 
        ballistic missile modernization program which could undermine 
        peace and stability in East Asia, including 2 new 
        intercontinental missile programs, 1 submarine-launched missile 
        program, a new class of compact but long-range cruise missiles, 
        and an upgrading of medium- and short-range ballistic missiles.
            (4) The People's Liberation Army is working to coproduce 
        the SU-27 fighter with Russia, and is in the process of 
        purchasing several substantial weapons systems from Russia, 
        including the 633 model of the Kilo-class submarine and the SS-
        N-22 Sunburn missile system specifically designed to 
        incapacitate United States aircraft carriers and Aegis 
        cruisers.
            (5) The People's Liberation Army has carried out acts of 
        aggression in the South China Sea, including the February 1995 
        seizure of the Mischief Reef in the Spratley Islands, which is 
        claimed by the Philippines.
            (6) In July 1995 and in March 1996, the People's Liberation 
        Army conducted missile tests to intimidate Taiwan when Taiwan 
        held historic free elections, and those tests effectively 
        blockaded Taiwan's 2 principal ports of Keelung and Kaohsiung.
            (7) The People's Liberation Army has contributed to the 
        proliferation of technologies relevant to the refinement of 
        weapons-grade nuclear material, including transferring ring 
        magnets to Pakistan.
            (8) The People's Liberation Army and associated defense 
        companies have provided ballistic missile components, cruise 
        missiles, and chemical weapons ingredients to Iran, a country 
        that the executive branch has repeatedly reported to Congress 
        is the greatest sponsor of terrorism in the world.
            (9) In May 1996, United States authorities caught the 
        People's Liberation Army enterprise Poly Technologies and the 
        civilian defense industrial company Norinco attempting to 
        smuggle 2,000 AK-47s into Oakland, California, and offering to 
        sell urban gangs shoulder-held missile launchers capable of 
        ``taking out a 747'' (which the affidavit of the United States 
        Customs Service of May 21, 1996, indicated that the 
        representative of Poly Technologies and Norinco claimed), and 
        Communist Chinese authorities punished only 4 low-level arms 
        merchants by sentencing them on May 17, 1997, to brief prison 
        terms.
            (10) The People's Liberation Army contributes to the 
        People's Republic of China's failure to meet the standards of 
        the 1995 Memorandum of Understanding with the United States on 
        intellectual property rights by running factories which pirate 
        videos, compact discs, and computer software that are products 
        of the United States.
            (11) The People's Liberation Army contributes to the 
        People's Republic of China's failing to meet the standards of 
        the February 1997 Memorandum of Understanding with the United 
        States on textiles by operating enterprises engaged in the 
        transshipment of textile products to the United States through 
        third countries.
            (12) The estimated $2 billion to $3 billion in annual 
        earnings of People's Liberation Army enterprises subsidize the 
        expansion and activities of the People's Liberation Army 
        described in this subsection.
            (13) The commercial activities of the People's Liberation 
        Army are frequently conducted on noncommercial terms, or for 
        noncommercial purposes such as military or foreign policy 
        considerations.

Title I: Soft Money and Contributions and Expenditures of Political Parties
 - Amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA) to prohibit any national committee of a political party, including the national congressional campaign committees of a political party, and any party committee officers or agents, from soliciting, receiving, or directing any contributions, donations, or transfers of funds, or spending any funds, which are not subject to the limitations, prohibitions, and reporting requirements of such Act. 
Declares that no candidate for Federal office, individual holding Federal office, or any agent of such candidate or officeholder may solicit, receive, or direct: (1) any funds in connection with any Federal election unless they are subject to the limitations, prohibitions, and reporting requirements of such Act; (2) any funds that are to be expended in connection with any non-Federal election unless they are not in excess of the amounts permitted contributions to Federal candidates and political committees, and are not from prohibited sources; or (3) any funds on behalf of any person which are not subject to the limitations, prohibitions, and reporting requirements of such Act if such funds are for the purpose of financing any activity on behalf of a candidate for election to Federal office or any communication which refers to a clearly identified candidate for election to Federal office. 
Exempts from the prohibitions of this Act: (1) the solicitation or receipt of funds by a candidate for a non-Federal office if such activity is permitted under State law; or (2) the attendance by a Federal office-holder or a candidate for election to Federal office at a fundraising event for a State or local committee of a political party of the State which the individual represents or seeks to represent as a Federal officeholder, if the event is held in that State. 
Prohibits a State committee of a political party from transferring any funds to a State committee of a political party of another State, except according to the limitations, prohibitions, and reporting requirements of such Act. 
(Sec. 102) Increases the aggregate annual limit on contributions by individuals to political parties from $20,000 to $25,000. 
(Sec. 103) Repeals limitations on the amount of coordinated expenditures by the national and State committees of political parties. 
(Sec. 104) Increases from $15,000 to $20,000 the limit on contributions by multicandidate political committees (PACs) to national political parties. 
Title II: Indexing Contribution Limits
 - Amends FECA to mandate indexing of contribution limits, according to a specified formula involving the Consumer Price Index, beginning calendar 2001. 
Title III: Expanding Disclosure of Campaign Finance Information
 - Prescribes reporting requirements for expenditures for radio or television broadcast communications regarding a candidate for the Senate or the House of Representatives.  Applies such requirements to any person who expends an aggregate amount of more than $25,000 during a calendar year for such communications relating to a single candidate for election to Federal office (or an aggregate amount of more than $100,000 during a calendar year for all such communications relating to all such candidates). 
Establishes civil fines for violations of such requirements. 
(Sec. 302) Amends FECA to require the principal campaign committees of candidates for the Senate or the House, and all political committees other than authorized committees of such a candidate, to file monthly reports (instead of quarterly reports, as currently), by specified deadlines. 
(Sec. 303) Directs the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to require electronic filing of campaign finance reports, unless the aggregate amount of contributions or expenditures (as the case may be) reported by the committee in all reports filed with respect to the election involved (taking into account the period covered by the report) is less than $50,000. 
Requires the FEC to make available without charge a standardized package of software to enable persons filing reports by electronic means to meet such requirements. 
(Sec. 304) Revises the waiver of strict compliance with FECA reporting requirements where a political committee's treasurer shows that best efforts have been used to obtain, maintain, and submit the information required.  Denies such a waiver with respect to information regarding the occupation or the name of the employer of any individual who makes a contribution or contributions aggregating more than $200 during a calendar year. 
Title IV: Effective Date
 - Sets forth the effective date of this Act.
