Job Creation Act of 2012 (47 U.S.C. 1455) is amended--
            (1) in the heading, by striking ``wireless'' and inserting 
        ``communications''; and
            (2) by striking subsections (b), (c), and (d) and inserting

        or other property owned by the Federal Government for the right 
        to install, construct, modify, or maintain a communications 
        facility installation, the executive agency that is authorized 
        to grant such easement, right-of-way, or lease for the building 
        or other property may grant to the applicant an easement, 
        right-of-way, or lease to perform such installation, 
        construction, modification, or maintenance.
            ``(2) Application forms.--Not later than 30 days after the 
        date of the enactment of the Communications Facilities 
        Deployment on Federal Property Act of 2018, the Administrator 
        of General Services shall develop a required common form for 
        applications for easements, rights-of-way, or leases under 
        paragraph (1). An executive agency may not require an applicant 
        under paragraph (1) to use any form for submitting the 
        application other than the common form developed by the 
        Administrator of General Services under this paragraph and may 
        not require any significant information beyond the information 
        required by such common form.

                    ``(A) In general.--Notwithstanding any other 
                provision of law, not later than 30 days after the date 
                of the enactment of the Communications Facilities

                Administrator of General Services shall establish a 
                common fee for the processing of applications under 
                paragraph (1) and subsection (c).
                    ``(B) Fee guidelines.--The application fees 
                established pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall be--
                            ``(i) based on direct and actual cost 
                        recovery; and

                        other users of the building or other property

                Services may establish exceptions to the fee amount 
                required under subparagraph (A)--

                        benefit provided by a grant of an easement, 
                        right-of-way, or lease; and
                            ``(ii) in the interest of expanding

        lease.
    ``(c) Master Contracts for Communications Facility Installation 
Sitings.--
            ``(1) In general.--Notwithstanding section 704 of the 
        Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-104; 110 Stat. 
        151) or any other provision of law, not later 30 days after the 
        date of the enactment of the Communications Facilities 
        Deployment on Federal Property Act of 2018, the Administrator 
        of General Services shall--
                    ``(A) develop one or more master contracts that 
                shall govern the placement of a communications facility 
                installation on a building or other property owned by 
                the Federal Government, which shall include offers of 
                lease terms for the communications facility 
                installation of not less than 10 years with automatic 
                lease renewals; and
                    ``(B) in developing the master contract or 
                contracts, standardize the treatment of the placement 
                of a communications facility installation on a building 
                rooftop or facade, the placement of a communications 
                facility installation on a rooftop or inside a 
                building, the technology used in connection with a 
                communications facility installation placed on a 
                Federal building and other property, and any other key 
                issues the Administrator of General Services considers 
                appropriate.
            ``(2) Applicability.--The master contract or contracts 
        developed by the Administrator of General Services under 
        paragraph (1) shall apply to all publicly accessible buildings

        executive agency may not enter into a contract governing the 
        placement of a communications facility installation on a 
        building or other property to which such a master contract 
        applies, unless the contract entered into by the agency is 
        consistent with, and does not contain any significant terms 
        beyond the terms contained in, such master contract.
    ``(d) Definitions.--In this section:
            ``(1) Communications facility installation.--The term 
        `communications facility installation' includes--

2016''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection found that 
        Wells Fargo management implemented sales incentives, including 
        an incentive-compensation program, in part to increase the 
        number of banking products and services that its employees sold 
        to its customers.
            (2) The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection found that 
        Wells Fargo employees engaged in improper sales practices to 
        satisfy sales goals under Wells Fargo's incentive compensation 
        program, including opening as many as 1,534,280 checking 
        accounts and 565,443 credit card accounts using consumers' 
        information without their knowledge or consent between May 2011 
        and July 2015.
            (3) Wells Fargo successfully claimed in Jabbari v. Wells 
        Fargo that customers had signed away their rights to hold Wells 
        Fargo accountable in court for claims of fraud because those 
        customers were bound to a forced arbitration clause for their 
        legitimate accounts.
            (4) After Wells Fargo publicly entered a settlement with 
        Federal regulators for the opening of thousands of unauthorized 
        customer accounts, Wells Fargo claimed in Mitchell et. al. v. 
        Wells Fargo et. al. that customers' fraud claims must continue 
        to be forced into arbitration.
            (5) Several courts have determined that despite claims of 
        fraud over unauthorized accounts opened without customer 
        knowledge or consent, those customers are still bound by 
        contracts forcing those claims into arbitration based on the 
        courts' interpretation of the Federal Arbitration Act.
            (6) The Federal Arbitration Act (now codified as chapter 1 
        of title 9, United States Code) was intended to apply to 
        disputes between commercial entities of generally similar 
        sophistication and bargaining power, but a series of decisions 
        by the Supreme Court of the United States have interpreted the 
        Federal Arbitration Act as applicable to claims of fraud.
            (7) Consumers have no meaningful choice whether to submit 
        their claims to arbitration and are typically unaware that they 
        have given up their rights to file claims in court.

SEC. 3. ARBITRATION OF CONSUMER DISPUTES RELATED TO CREDIT CARD 
              ACCOUNTS.

    Chapter 2 of the Truth in Lending Act (15 U.S.C. 1631 et seq.) is 
amended by adding at the end the following (and the table of contents 
for such chapter is conformed accordingly):
``Sec. 140B. Validity and enforceability
    ``(a) Definitions.--In this section--
            ``(1) the term `covered dispute' means a dispute that is 
        not subject to a final judgment by a court; and
            ``(2) the term `predispute arbitration agreement' means any 
        agreement between a person and a consumer providing for 
        arbitration of any future dispute between the parties.
    ``(b) Validity and Enforceability.--No predispute arbitration 
agreement shall be valid or enforceable in a covered dispute that is 
related to a credit card that was not issued in response to a request 
or application for that credit card account.
    ``(c) Applicability.--The applicability of this section to a 
predispute arbitration agreement shall be determined by a State or 
Federal court of competent jurisdiction.''.

SEC. 4. ARBITRATION OF CONSUMER DISPUTES RELATED TO COVERED ACCOUNTS.

    The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq.) is 
amended by inserting after section 920 (15 U.S.C. 1693o-2) the 
following:

``SEC. 920A. VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY.

    ``(a) Definitions.--In this section--
            ``(1) the term `covered account'--
                    ``(A) means a demand deposit, savings deposit, or 
                other asset account (other than an occasional or 
                incidental credit balance in an open end credit plan as 
                defined in section 103(i)), as described in regulations 
                of the Bureau, established primarily for personal, 
                family, or household purposes, including demand 
                accounts, time accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal 
                accounts, and share draft accounts; and
                    ``(B) does not include an account held by a 
                financial institution pursuant to a bona fide trust 
                agreement;
            ``(2) the term `covered dispute' means a dispute that is 
        not subject to a final judgment by a court; and
            ``(3) the term `predispute arbitration agreement' means any 
        agreement between a financial institution and a consumer 
        providing for arbitration of any future dispute between the 
        parties.
    ``(b) Validity and Enforceability.--No predispute arbitration 
agreement shall be valid or enforceable in a covered dispute that is 
related to a covered account that was not issued in response to a 
request or application for that covered account.
    ``(c) Applicability.--The applicability of this section to a 
predispute arbitration agreement shall be determined by a State or 
Federal court of competent jurisdiction.''.

SEC. 5. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.

    Nothing in the amendments made by this Act shall be construed--
            (1) to authorize the imposition of a requirement to submit 
        a dispute to arbitration; or
            (2) to restrict any court from ruling that a requirement to 
        submit a dispute to arbitration is invalid or unenforceable.
Example Output: Justice for Victims of Fraud Act of 2016 This bill amends the Truth in Lending Act and the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to prohibit predispute arbitration agreements with consumers (i.e., agreements to arbitrate any future disputes between parties instead of pursuing the claims in court) from being valid or enforceable in disputes related to credit card accounts or personal bank accounts that are not subject to a final judgment by a court if the credit card or bank account was not issued in response to a request or application for that account.  The bill excludes from this prohibition accounts held by a financial institution pursuant to a bona fide trust agreement.

    This Act may be cited as the ``First Response Broadcasters Act of 
2007''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) in the periods before, during, and after major 
        disasters that occurred not long before the date of enactment 
        of this Act (including Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Rita, and 
        the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001), local media 
        organizations (including newspapers, public and private 
        broadcasters, and online publications) provided a valuable 
        public service by transmitting and publishing disaster-related 
        information, guidance, and assistance;
            (2) local broadcasters, public and private, provided a 
        particularly valuable public service by transmitting evacuation 
        instructions, warnings of impending threats, timely response 
        status updates, and other essential information related to such 
        major disasters to listeners and viewers to whom other forms of 
        media were often unavailable or inaccessible;
            (3) an inability to access a disaster area may impede the 
        ability of local media organizations to provide such public 
        services;
            (4) according to the report by the Committee on Homeland 
        Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate, titled 
        ``Hurricane Katrina: A Nation Still Unprepared'', dated May 
        2006, ``It is essential that the news media receive accurate 
        disaster information to circulate to the public. News media can 
        also help inform the public by reporting on rumors and 
        soliciting evidence and comment on their plausibility, if 
        any'';
            (5) according to testimony provided on September 22, 2005, 
        to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of 
        the Senate, an estimated 100 Gulf Coast broadcast stations were 
        unable to broadcast as a result of Hurricane Katrina, with 
        approximately 28 percent of television stations and 
        approximately 35 percent of radio stations unable to broadcast 
        in the area affected by Hurricane Katrina;
            (6) according to testimony provided on September 7, 2005, 
        to the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of 
        Representatives, following Hurricane Katrina only 4 of the 41 
        radio broadcast stations in the New Orleans metropolitan area 
        remained on the air in the immediate aftermath of that 
        hurricane;
            (7) the only television station in New Orleans to continue 
        transmitting its over-the-air signal uninterrupted during and 
        after Hurricane Katrina was able to do so only as a direct 
        result of steps taken to better protect its transmitter and 
        provide redundant production facilities in the region;
            (8) fuel and other supply shortages inhibit the ability of 
        a broadcaster to stay on the air and provide essential public 
        information following a major disaster;
            (9) according to the report by the Committee on Homeland 
        Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate, titled 
        ``Hurricane Katrina: A Nation Still Unprepared'', dated May 
        2006, there were instances of Federal authorities confiscating 
        privately-purchased fuel supplies in the area affected by 
        Hurricane Katrina;
            (10) the ability of several broadcasters in Mississippi to 
        remain on the air was unduly compromised by the confiscation of 
        their privately-purchased fuel supplies;
            (11) practices put in place following Hurricane Andrew to 
        involve broadcasters in disaster response and expedite access 
        by broadcast engineers to disaster areas for the purpose of 
        repairing critical-to-air facilities and infrastructure has 
        significantly increased the ability of broadcasters in Florida 
        to continue transmitting essential public information during 
        subsequent major disasters;
            (12) a June 12, 2006, report to the Federal Communications 
        Commission from the Independent Panel Reviewing the Impact of 
        Hurricane Katrina on Communications Networks recommends that 
        cable and broadcasting infrastructure providers, and their 
        contracted workers, be afforded emergency responder status 
        under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
        Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) and that this 
        designation would remedy many of the access and fuel sharing 
        issues that hampered industry efforts to quickly repair 
        infrastructure following Hurricane Katrina;
            (13) the partnership of competing radio broadcasters in the 
        wake of Hurricane Katrina, casting aside commercial interests 
        to provide uninterrupted, redundant public information 
        programming from multiple transmission facilities, served the 
        public well and for many hurricane victims was the only source 
        of disaster-related information for many days;
            (14) other similar models for regional broadcaster 
        cooperation nationwide, such as the initiative by 3 public and 
        private radio groups to cooperatively produce essential 
        disaster-related programming in eastern and central Maine, will 
        further prepare the industry to effectively respond to major 
        disasters;
            (15) following Hurricane Katrina, a Primary Entry Point 
        station in Louisiana, operating only on generator power until 
        commercial power was restored 2 weeks after the disaster, was 
        instrumental in providing life-saving information to the 
        general public throughout the area as battery-operated radios 
        were the only source of official news and information;
            (16) as of April 18, 2007, there were 24 States with 1 
        Primary Entry Point station, 4 States with 2 Primary Entry 
        point stations, 2 Primary Entry Point stations located in 
        territories of the United States, and 2 Primary Entry Point 
        stations under development in Alabama and Mississippi;
            (17) in the event of a man-made or natural disaster, it is 
        essential to provide for Primary Entry Point stations in any 
        State or territory where there is not a facility, meaning an 
        additional 23 stations are required, located in--
                    (A) Arkansas;
                    (B) Connecticut;
                    (C) Delaware;
                    (D) the District of Columbia;
                    (E) Indiana;
                    (F) Iowa;
                    (G) Kentucky;
                    (H) Maine;
                    (I) Michigan;
                    (J) Nebraska;
                    (K) New Hampshire;
                    (L) New Jersey;
                    (M) Oklahoma;
                    (N) Oregon;
                    (O) Pennsylvania;
                    (P) Rhode Island;
                    (Q) South Dakota;
                    (R) Vermont;
                    (S) West Virginia;
                    (T) Wisconsin;
                    (U) American Samoa;
                    (V) the Northern Mariana Islands; and
                    (W) Guam; and
            (18) in the event of a man-made or natural disaster, it is 
        essential to provide for the Primary Entry Point stations in 
        larger States where there is currently a facility, but an
