Authorizes State Governors, beginning in 1993, to further limit the quantity of out-of-State waste received for disposal, or the disposal of such waste, at specified landfills and incinerators.  Applies the authorities of this Act to industrial waste to be disposed of at landfills or incinerators that receive municipal solid waste. 
Prohibits discrimination against shipments of out-of-State waste on the basis of State of origin. 
Authorizes a State Governor to limit or prohibit the exportation outside the State of municipal waste generated within the State.

                            ``(i) to the Secretary, such information or 
                        data as the Secretary may require; and

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.

Answer: 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.

        if the solicitation included a statement that an award could be 
        made, without discussions, unless discussions are determined to 
        be necessary.''; and

expended by any agency to award a contract for goods or services to 
which the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 
applies, unless such agency uses employees who are adequately trained 
and capable of conducting evaluations and analyses of proposals 
submitted for such acquisitions. No person who is not an employee may 
be paid by an agency for services to conduct evaluations or analyses of 
any aspect of a proposal submitted for an acquisition, unless employees 
with adequate training and capabilities to perform such evaluations and 
analyses are not readily available within the agency or any other 
Federal agency.

agency shall determine the standards of adequate training and 
capability of employees to conduct such acquisitions.

acquisitions subject to section 111 of the Federal Property and 
Administrative Services Act of 1949, the Administrator of General 
Services may not issue a delegation of procurement authority for an 
acquisition without first receiving certification from the contracting 
agency that--
            (1) such agency has employees within the agency or 
        available from another agency who are adequately trained and 
        capable of conducting evaluations and analyses of proposals 
        submitted for such an acquisition; or
            (2)(A) such agency does not have employees within the 
        agency who are adequately trained and capable of conducting 
        evaluations and analyses of proposals submitted for such an 
        acquisition; and
            (B) such adequately trained and capable employees are not 
        readily available from other agencies in accordance with 
        regulations promulgated by the Federal Acquisition Regulatory 
        Council under subsection (c).
    (c) Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council.--No later than 90 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Federal Acquisition

        Regulations as it relates to the use of advisory and assistance 
        services and provide guidance and promulgate regulations 
        regarding what actions agencies are required to take to 
        determine if expertise is readily available within the 
        Government before contracting for advisory and technical 
        services to conduct acquisitions; and
            (2) provide guidance and promulgate regulations regarding 
        the manner in which Federal employees with expertise may be 
        shared with agencies needing expertise for such acquisitions.
