Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

     Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Horses have played a significant role in the history 
        and culture of the United States.
            (2) Horses in the United States are not raised for food or 
        fiber.
            (3) As a non-food and recreational animal, horses should be 
        protected from slaughter.
            (4) The foreign-owned horse slaughter industry has 
        slaughtered and exported for human consumption over 3 million 
        American horses in the last 2 decades.
            (5) Approximately 55,000 American horses are slaughtered 
        for human consumption annually in the United States by foreign-
        owned slaughterhouses. Tens of thousands of live horses are 
        exported from the United States annually for slaughter.
            (6) Horses slaughtered in these foreign-owned plants in the 
        United States have often been hauled several thousand miles 
        over several days, contrary to acceptable non-slaughter 
        standards for water, food, and rest.
            (7) Many horses shipped to slaughter are young, healthy 
        animals. Others are old, sick, blind, crippled and in otherwise 
        poor condition and are unfit to withstand the rigors of long 
        travel. Horses sent to be slaughtered are often shipped on 
        crowded double deck trucks designed for shorter necked species 
        such as pigs, cattle and sheep, and are forced to travel in a 
        bent position which can result in suffering, injury and death.
            (8) Killing of horses by foreign-owned slaughterhouses in 
        the United States contrasts with the preferable method of 
        killing by chemical euthanasia.
            (9) Horses endure repeated blows to the head with stunning 
        equipment that often does not render the animals unconscious. 
        Some horses proceed still conscious through the remaining 
        stages of slaughter being bled out and dismembered.
            (10) Because horses in America are not food animals, 
        veterinarians commonly prescribe and treat horses with potent 
        drugs that may reside in the horseflesh and be dangerous when 
        consumed by humans.
            (11) Because of the lack of disclosure on the part of the 
        agents and dealers for the slaughter plants people's horses are 
        many times acquired and slaughtered through fraud and 
        misrepresentation. Slaughter also provides a quick and 
        evidence-free outlet for stolen horses.
            (12) The imposition of a ban on the sale of horseflesh for 
        human consumption, regardless of its source, is consistent with 
        the international obligations of the United States because it 
        applies equally to domestic and foreign producers and avoids 
        any discrimination among foreign sources of competing products. 
        Such a ban is also consistent with provisions of international 
        agreements to which the United States is a party that expressly 
        allow for measures designed to protect the health and welfare 
        of animals and to enjoin the use of deceptive trade practices 
        in international or domestic commerce.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

     The purpose of this Act is --
            (1) to prohibit the slaughter of horses for human 
        consumption;

        horseflesh for human consumption;

                    (A) Temporary placement.--After confiscation of a 
                live horse pursuant to this Act, the arresting 
                authorities shall work with animal welfare societies 
                and animal control departments to ensure the temporary 
                placement of the horse with an animal rescue facility 
                that is an organization described in section 501(c)(3) 
                of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and is exempt from 
                taxation under section 501(a) of such Code, while the

                arresting authorities shall work with animal welfare 
                societies and animal control departments to temporarily 
                place the horse with a facility that has as its primary 
                purpose the humane treatment of animals, or another 
                suitable location.
                    (B) Bonds.--
                            (i) Posting of bond.--The owner of a horse 
                        confiscated pursuant to this Act may prevent 
                        permanent placement of the horse by the 
                        facility that has temporary custody of the 
                        horse by posting a bond with the court in an 
                        amount the court determines is sufficient to 
                        provide for the necessary care and keeping of 
                        the horse for at least 60 days, including the 
                        day on which the horse was taken into custody. 
                        Such bond shall be filed with the court within 
                        10 days after the horse is confiscated. If a 
                        bond is not so posted, the custodial facility 
                        shall determine permanent placement of the 
                        horse in accordance with reasonable practices 
                        for the humane treatment of animals. If the 
                        animal has not yet been returned to the owner 
                        at the end of the time for which expenses are 
                        covered by the bond, and if the owner desires 
                        to prevent permanent placement of the animal by 
                        the custodial facility, the owner shall post a 
                        new bond with the court within ten days 
                        following the prior bond's expiration. If a new 
                        bond is not so posted, the custodial facility 
                        shall determine permanent placement of the 
                        horse in accordance with reasonable practices 
                        for the humane treatment of animals.
                            (ii) Costs for providing care for horse 
                        deducted from bond.--If a bond has been posted 
                        in accordance with clause (i), the custodial 
                        facility may draw from the bond the actual 
                        reasonable costs incurred by the facility in 
                        providing the necessary care and keeping of the 
                        confiscated horse from the date of the initial 
                        confiscation to the date of final disposition 
                        of the horse in the criminal action charging a 
                        violation of this Act.
                    (C) Permanent placement.--Any horse confiscated 
                pursuant to this Act and not returned to the owner 
                thereafter (except where otherwise provided in 
                paragraph (4)) shall be placed permanently with an 
                animal rescue facility or other suitable facility as 
                described in this section upon--
                            (i) the conviction of the horse's owner 
                        pursuant to this Act;
                            (ii) the owner's surrender of the horse;
                            (iii) the failure of the horse's owner to 
                        post a bond as required in accordance with 
                        subparagraph (B); or
                            (iv) the Secretary's inability to identify 
                        the owner.
            (4) Euthanasia of horses.--
                    (A) Emergency circumstances.--The Secretary or any 
                law enforcement individual charged with enforcing this 
                Act may order or perform the immediate euthanasia of 
                any horse in the field when such horse is injured 
                beyond recovery and suffering irreversibly. Methods 
                used shall be in accordance with the most recent Report 
                of the American Veterinary Medical Association's Panel

                include gunshot, but shall not include electrocution or 
                penetrating captive bolt.
                    (B) Horses beyond recovery and unplaceable.--The 
                Secretary or any individual charged with enforcing this 
                Act may order the euthanasia of any confiscated horse 
                when injured, disabled, or diseased beyond recovery or 
                when placement at an animal rescue facility or other 
                suitable facility, as described in this section, is not 
                possible within 90 days of any circumstance as 
                described in section 6(d)(3)(C). An equine or large-
                animal veterinarian shall perform the euthanasia rated 
                ``Acceptable'' for horses in the most recent Report of 
                the American Veterinary Medical Association's Panel on 
                Euthanasia (2000), but shall not include penetrating 
                captive bolt, electrocution, gunshot, or other non-
                chemical means.
    (e) Funding of Animal Rescue Facilities.--
            (1) Grants.--To the extent that funds are made available 
        for this purpose by Acts of appropriation, the Secretary shall 
        make grants to animal rescue facilities described in this 
        section that have given adequate assurances to the Secretary 
        that they are willing to accept horses confiscated pursuant to 
        this Act.
            (2) Penalties, fines, and forfeited property.--Amounts 
        received as penalties, fines, or forfeited property under this

        United States or placed with an animal rescue facility as 
        described in this section.
    (f) Calculation of Violations.--For purposes of this section, a 
separate offense shall be calculated as follows:
            (1) Each live horse transported, traded, slaughtered, or 
        possessed in violation of this Act shall constitute a separate 
        offense.
            (2) Every four hundred pounds or less of confiscated 
        horseflesh shall constitute a separate offense.

Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Preservation of Antibiotics for 
Medical Treatment Act of 2011''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) In January 2001, a Federal interagency task force--
                    (A) released an action plan to address the 
                continuing decline in effectiveness of antibiotics 
                against common bacterial infections, referred to as 
                antibiotic resistance;
                    (B) determined that antibiotic resistance is a 
                growing menace to all people and poses a serious threat 
                to public health; and
                    (C) cautioned that if current trends continue, 
                treatments for common infections will become 
                increasingly limited and expensive, and, in some cases, 
                nonexistent.
            (2) Antibiotic resistance, resulting in a reduced number of 
        effective antibiotics, may significantly impair the ability of 
        the United States to respond to terrorist attacks involving 
        bacterial infections or a large influx of hospitalized 
        patients.
            (3)(A) Any overuse or misuse of antibiotics contributes to 
        the spread of antibiotic resistance, whether in human medicine 
        or in agriculture.
            (B) Recognizing the public health threat caused by 
        antibiotic resistance, Congress took several steps to curb 
        antibiotic overuse in human medicine through amendments to the 
        Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 201 et seq.) made by 
        section 102 of the Public Health Threats and Emergencies Act 
        (Public Law 106-505, title I; 114 Stat. 2315), but has not yet 
        addressed antibiotic overuse in agriculture.
            (4) In a March 2003 report, the National Academy of 
        Sciences stated that--
                    (A) a decrease in antimicrobial use in human 
                medicine alone will have little effect on the current 
                situation; and
                    (B) substantial efforts must be made to decrease 
                inappropriate overuse in animals and agriculture.
            (5) In 2010, the FDA determined that--
                    (A) 13.1 million kilograms of antibacterial drugs 
                were sold for use on food animals in the United States 
                in 2009;
                    (B) 3.3 million kilograms of antibacterial drugs 
                were used for human health in 2009; and
                    (C) therefore, 80 percent of antibacterial drugs 
                disseminated in the United States in 2009 were sold for 
                use on food animals, rather than being used for human 
                health.
            (6)(A) Large-scale, voluntary surveys by the Department of 
        Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service in 
        1999, 2001, and 2006 revealed that--
                    (i) 84 percent of grower-finisher swine farms, 83 
                percent of cattle feedlots, and 84 percent of sheep 
                farms administer antimicrobials in the feed or water 
                for health or growth promotion reasons; and
                    (ii) many of the antimicrobials identified are 
                identical or closely related to drugs used in human 
                medicine, including tetracyclines, macrolides, 
                Bacitracin, penicillins, and sulfonamides; and
            (B) these drugs are used in people to treat serious 
        diseases such as pneumonia, scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, 
        venereal disease, skin infections, and even pandemics like 
        malaria and plague, as well as bioterrorism agents like 
        smallpox and anthrax.
            (7) Many scientific studies confirm that the nontherapeutic 
        use of antibiotics in agricultural animals contributes to the 
        development of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections in 
        people.
            (8) The periodical entitled ``Clinical Infectious 
        Diseases'' published a report in June 2002, that--
                    (A) was based on a 2-year review by experts in 
                human and veterinary medicine, public health, 
                microbiology, biostatistics, and risk analysis, of more 
                than 500 scientific studies on the human health impacts 
                of antimicrobial use in agriculture; and
                    (B) recommended that antimicrobial agents should no 
                longer be used in agriculture in the absence of 
                disease, but should be limited to therapy for diseased 
                individual animals and prophylaxis when disease is 
                documented in a herd or flock.
            (9) The United States Geological Survey reported in March 
        2002 that--
                    (A) antibiotics were present in 48 percent of the 
                streams tested nationwide; and
                    (B) almost half of the tested streams were 
                downstream from agricultural operations.
            (10) An April 1999 study by the General Accounting Office 
        concluded that resistant strains of 3 microorganisms that cause 
        food-borne illness or disease in humans (Salmonella, 
        Campylobacter, and E. coli) are linked to the use of 
        antibiotics in animals.
            (11) Epidemiological research has shown that resistant 
        Salmonella and Campylobacter infections are associated with 
        increased numbers of ill patients and bloodstream infections, 
        and increased death.
            (12) In 2010, the peer-reviewed journal Molecular Cell 
        published a study demonstrating that low-dosage use of 
        antibiotics causes a dramatic increase in genetic mutation, 
        raising new concerns about the agricultural practice of using 
        low-dosage antibiotics in order to stimulate growth promotion 
        and routinely prevent disease in unhealthy conditions.
            (13)(A) In January 2003, Consumer Reports published test 
        results on poultry products bought in grocery stores nationwide 
        showing disturbingly high levels of Campylobacter and 
        Salmonella bacteria that were resistant to the antibiotics used 
        to treat food-borne illnesses.
            (B) The Food and Drug Administration's National 
        Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System routinely finds that 
        retail meat products are contaminated with bacteria (including 
        the foodborne pathogens Campylobacter and Salmonella) that are 
        resistant to antibiotics important in human medicine.
            (C) In December 2007, the USDA issued a fact sheet on the 
        recently recognized link between antimicrobial drug use in 
        animals and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureas (MRSA) 
        infections in humans.
            (14) In October 2001, the New England Journal of Medicine 
        published an editorial urging a ban on nontherapeutic use of 
        medically important antibiotics in animals.
            (15)(A) In 1998, the National Academy of Sciences noted 
        that antibiotic-resistant bacteria generate a minimum of 
        $4,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,000 in costs to United States 
        society and individuals yearly.
            (B) In 2009, Cook County Hospital and the Alliance for 
        Prudent Use of Antibiotics estimated that the total health care 
        cost of antibiotic resistant infections in the United States 
        was between $16,600,000,000 and $26,000,000,000 annually.
            (16) The American Medical Association, the American Public 
        Health Association, the National Association of County and City 
        Health Officials, and the National Campaign for Sustainable 
        Agriculture are among the more than 300 organizations 
        representing health, consumer, agricultural, environmental, 
        humane, and other interests that have supported enactment of 
        legislation to phase out nontherapeutic use in farm animals of 
        medically important antibiotics.
            (17) In 2010, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration 
        testified that the Danish ban of the non-therapeutic use of 
        antibiotics in food animal production resulted in a marked 
        reduction in antimicrobial resistance in multiple bacterial 
        species, including Campylobacter and Enterococci.
            (18) In 2009, the Congressional Research Service concluded 
        that restrictions overseas on the use of antimicrobial drugs in 
        the production of livestock could impact U.S. export markets 
        for livestock and poultry.
            (19) The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 
        301 et seq.)--
                    (A) requires that all drugs be shown to be safe 
                before the drugs are approved; and
                    (B) places the burden on manufacturers to account 
                for health consequences and prove safety.
            (20)(A) The Food and Drug Administration recently modified 
        the drug approval process for antibiotics to recognize the 
        development of resistant bacteria as an important aspect of 
        safety, but most antibiotics currently used in animal 
        production systems for nontherapeutic purposes were approved 
        before the Food and Drug Administration began considering 
        resistance during the drug-approval process.
            (B) The Food and Drug Administration has not established a 
        schedule for reviewing those existing approvals.
            (21) Certain non-routine uses of antibiotics in animal 
        agriculture are legitimate to prevent animal disease.
            (22) An April 2004 study by the General Accounting Office--
                    (A) concluded that Federal agencies do not collect 
                the critical data on antibiotic use in animals that 
                they need to support research on human health risks; 
                and
                    (B) recommends that the Department of Agriculture 
                and the Department of Health and Human Services develop 
                and implement a plan to collect data on antibiotic use 
                in animals.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

    The purpose of this Act is to preserve the effectiveness of 
medically important antibiotics used in the treatment of human and 
animal diseases by reviewing the safety of certain antibiotics for 
nontherapeutic purposes in food-producing animals.

SEC. 4. PROOF OF SAFETY OF CRITICAL ANTIMICROBIAL ANIMAL DRUGS.

    (a) Definitions.--Section 201 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321) is amended by adding at the end the 
following:
    ``(ss) Critical Antimicrobial Animal Drug.--The term `critical 
antimicrobial animal drug' means a drug that--
            ``(1) is intended for use in food-producing animals; and
            ``(2) is composed wholly or partly of--
                    ``(A) any kind of penicillin, tetracycline, 
                macrolide, lincosamide, streptogramin, aminoglycoside, 
                or sulfonamide; or
                    ``(B) any other drug or derivative of a drug that 
                is used in humans or intended for use in humans to 
                treat or prevent disease or infection caused by 
                microorganisms.
    ``(tt) Nontherapeutic Use.--The term `nontherapeutic use', with 
respect to a critical antimicrobial animal drug, means any use of the 
drug as a feed or water additive for an animal in the absence of any 
clinical sign of disease in the animal for growth promotion, feed 
efficiency, weight gain, routine disease prevention, or other routine 
purpose.''.
    (b) Applications Pending or Submitted After Enactment.--Section 
512(d)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 
360b(d)(1)) is amended--
            (1) in the first sentence--
                    (A) in subparagraph (H), by striking ``or'' at the 
                end;
                    (B) in subparagraph (I), by inserting ``or'' at the 
                end; and
                    (C) by inserting after subparagraph (I) the 
                following:
                    ``(J) with respect to a critical antimicrobial 
                animal drug or a drug of the same chemical class as a 
                critical antimicrobial animal drug, the applicant has 
                failed to demonstrate that there is a reasonable 
                certainty of no harm to human health due to the 
                development of antimicrobial resistance that is 
                attributable, in whole or in part, to the 
                nontherapeutic use of the drug; or''; and
            (2) in the second sentence, by striking ``(A) through (I)'' 
        and inserting ``(A) through (J)''.
    (c) Phased Elimination of Nontherapeutic Use in Animals of Critical 
Antimicrobial Animal Drugs Important for Human Health.--Section 512 of 
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b) is amended by 
adding at the end the following:

SEC. 5. COMMITTEE HEARINGS ON IMPLEMENTATION.

    (a) In General.--The Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House 
of Representatives and the Committee on Energy of the Senate shall each 
hold a hearing on the implementation by the Commissioner of Food and 
Drugs of section 512(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as 
added by section 4 of this Act.
    (b) Exercise of Rulemaking Authority.--Subsection (a) is enacted--
            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the House of 
        Representatives and Senate, and, as such, they shall be 
        considered as part of the rules of the House or Senate (as the 
        case may be), and such rules shall supersede any other rule of 
        the House or Senate only to the extent that rule is 
        inconsistent therewith; and
            (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
        either House to change such rules (so far as relating to the 
        procedure in such House) at any time, in the same manner, and 
        to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of the 
        House or Senate.
Example Output: Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act of 2011 - Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to deny an application for a new animal drug that is a critical antimicrobial animal drug unless the applicant demonstrates that there is a reasonably certainty of no harm to human health due to the development of antimicrobial resistance attributable to the nontherapeutic use of the drug. Defines "critical antimicrobial animal drug" as a drug intended for use in food-producing animals that contains specified antibiotics or other drugs used in humans to treat or prevent disease or infection caused by microorganisms.

Requires the Secretary to withdraw approval of a nontherapeutic use of such drugs in food-producing animals two years after the date of enactment of this Act unless certain safety requirements are met. Directs specified congressional committees to hold hearings on the implementation of such a withdrawal of approval.

Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Support of American Eagle Silver 
Bullion Program Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the American Eagle silver bullion coin leads the global 
        market, and is the largest and most popular silver coin program 
        in the United States;
            (2) established in 1986, the American Eagle silver bullion 
        program is the most successful silver bullion program in the 
        world;
            (3) from fiscal year 1995 through fiscal year 2001, the 
        American Eagle silver bullion program generated--
                    (A) revenues of $264,100,000; and
                    (B) sufficient profits to significantly reduce the 
                national debt;
            (4) with the depletion of silver reserves in the Defense 
        Logistic Agency's Strategic and Critical Materials Stockpile, 
        it is necessary for the Department of the Treasury to acquire 
        silver from other sources in order to preserve the American 
        Eagle silver bullion program;
            (5) with the ability to obtain silver from other sources, 
        the United States Mint can continue the highly successful 
        American Eagle silver bullion program, exercising sound 
        business judgment and market acquisition practices in its 
        approach to the silver market, resulting in continuing 
        profitability of the program;
            (6) in 2001, silver was commercially produced in 12 States, 
        including, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, 
        Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, and 
        Washington;
            (7) Nevada is the largest silver producing State in the 
        Nation, producing--
                    (A) 17,500,000 ounces of silver in 2001; and
                    (B) 34 percent of United States silver production 
                in 2000;
            (8) the mining industry in Idaho is vital to the economy of 
        the State, and the Silver Valley in northern Idaho leads the 
        world in recorded silver production, with over 1,100,000,000 
        ounces of silver produced between 1884 and 2001;
            (9) the largest, active silver producing mine in the Nation 
        is the McCoy/Cove Mine in Nevada, which produced more than 
        107,000,000 ounces of silver between 1989 and 2001;
            (10) the mining industry in Idaho--
                    (A) employs more than 3,000 people;
                    (B) contributes more than $900,000,000 to the Idaho 
                economy; and
                    (C) produces $70,000,000 worth of silver per year;
            (11) the silver mines of the Comstock lode, the premier 
        silver producing deposit in Nevada, brought people and wealth 
        to the region, paving the way for statehood in 1864, and giving 
        Nevada its nickname as ``the Silver State'';
            (12) mines in the Silver Valley--
                    (A) represent an important part of the mining
