SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Hudson River Valley Special Resource 
Study Act''.

SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.

    In this Act:
            (1) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary 
        of the Interior.
            (2) Study area.--The term ``study area''--
                    (A) means the portion of the Hudson River that 
                flows from Rodgers Island at Fort Edward to the 
                southern-most boundary of Westchester County, New York; 
                and
                    (B) includes any relevant sites and landscapes 
                within the counties in New York that abut the area 
                described in subparagraph (A).

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The Hudson River Valley possesses important and unique 
        cultural, historical, natural, recreational and scenic 
        resources that have been central to the development and 
        sustainment of our Nation.
            (2) The Hudson River Valley encompasses a rich array of 
        sensitive natural resources ranging from the River itself and 
        its vast estuarine district, to its wetlands, refuges, parks, 
        forests, farmlands, preserves, cliffs, mountains, and valleys.
            (3) The Hudson River and its tributaries are home to a 
        number of rare and threatened animal species, habitats, and 
        plants.
            (4) The Hudson River Valley is home to myriad biking, 
        heritage, pedestrian and scenic trail systems on the eastern 
        and western sides of the River that are now connected by the 
        Walkway Over the Hudson bridge, which has been designated as a 
        National Recreation Trail.
            (5) Throughout history, the Hudson River Valley has played 
        a central role in the development of our nation, starting from 
        the vibrant Native American communities that first inhabited 
        the land, to Henry Hudson's voyage up the river later named for 
        him in the vessel Half Moon in 1609 and later with the American 
        Revolution, the debate on our Constitution, the first 
        successful steamboat voyage by Robert Fulton in 1807, the 
        Industrial Revolution, and the modern labor and environmental 
        movements.
            (6) The Hudson River Valley gave birth to important 
        movements in American art, architecture and literature through 
        the work of Andrew Jackson Downing, Alexander Jackson Davis, 
        Thomas Cole, Frederick Church and their associates from the 
        Hudson River School of Art, as well as through authors such as 
        Washington Irving, James Fenimore Cooper, William Cullen 
        Bryant, Susan and Anna Warner, and John Burroughs.
            (7) The depictions and descriptions of the Hudson River 
        Valley's renowned scenery and natural resources played a 
        central role in the recognition of the value of the landscape 
        and the development of an American esthetic and environmental 
        ideal.
            (8) A 1996 National Park Service study called the Hudson 
        River Valley ``the landscape that defined America.''.
            (9) The Hudson River Valley has been the subject of 
        multiple State and Federal inventories, studies, and plans that 
        should greatly assist a National Park Service special resource 
        study.

SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF STUDY.

    (a) In General.--As soon as funds are made available for this

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Medical Nutrition Equity Act of 
2017''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Specialized food is often medically necessary for the 
        safe and effective management of many digestive and inherited 
        metabolic disorders that impact digestion, absorption, and 
        metabolism of nutrients.
            (2) Although medically necessary food is essential for 
        patients, it is often expensive and not uniformly reimbursed by 
        health insurance, leaving many families with an insurmountable 
        financial burden.
            (3) As a result, many patients who cannot afford medically 
        necessary food may experience adverse health consequences from 
        suboptimal disease management, including hospitalization, 
        intellectual impairment, behavioral dysfunction, inadequate 
        growth, nutrient deficiencies, and even death.

SEC. 3. COVERAGE OF MEDICALLY NECESSARY FOOD AND VITAMINS FOR DIGESTIVE 
              AND INHERITED METABOLIC DISORDERS UNDER FEDERAL HEALTH 
              PROGRAMS AND PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE.

                            (iii) by adding at the end the following

                first regular session of the State legislature that

                State that has a 2-year legislative session, each year 
                of such session shall be deemed to be a separate
