    (a) Plan.--In order to address the recruitment and retention 
challenges faced by the United States Border Patrol, the Secretary of 
Homeland Security shall, not later than six months after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, submit to the Committee on Homeland Security 
and the Committee on Government Reform of the House of Representatives

retain Border Patrol agents with the appropriate skills and training to 
effectively carry out its mission and responsibilities.
    (b) Contents.--The plan shall include, at a minimum, the following 
components:
            (1) A strategy for the utilization of the recruitment 
        authority provided in subsection (a) of section 9702 of title 
        5, United States Code (as added by section 3), as well as any 
        other strategies the Secretary determines to be important in 
        recruiting well-qualified Border Patrol agents.

        authority provided in subsection (b) of section 9702 of title 
        5, United States Code (as added by section 3), as well as any 
        other strategies the Secretary determines to be important in

        Border Patrol agents has on the Department's ability to recruit 
        and retain Border Patrol agents, especially in high cost-of-
        living areas.
            (4) An assessment of whether increased opportunities for 
        Border Patrol agents to transfer between duty stations would 
        improve employee morale and enhance the Department's ability to 
        recruit and retain well-qualified Border Patrol agents.

    (b) Persons Eligible for Services Under Programs.--Persons eligible 
to receive services under a pilot program are any residents of the 
State in which the pilot program is being conducted who are--
            (1) veterans;
            (2) individuals eligible for benefits under section 1713 of

conducting pilot programs, the Secretary may comply with such 
requirements of State law applicable to the establishment and operation

determining, based on such factors as the Secretary considers relevant 
(including the factors referred to in subsection (b)), that, in the 
absence of an enrollment option through a Department plan in that 
State, the projected workload in one or more Department health care 
facilities in the State would decline to a level that--

        facilities to meet one or more assigned mission of such 
        facilities; or
            (2) would result in a deterioration in the quality of the 
        service delivered by such facilities to an extent that it would 
        not be reasonable to continue to provide needed services in 
        such facilities and satisfactory alternative arrangements could 
        not feasibly be provided.
    (b) Factors.--In making a determination under subsection (a), the 
Secretary shall consider the following:
            (1) The relative universality of coverage provided to State 
        residents under the State reform plan.
            (2) The scope of benefits offered under the plan.
            (3) The extent of financing supporting the plan.
            (4) The extent to which the State may serve as a model for 
        the Department in determining how to compete with other health 
        care providers in other States when Congress enacts National 
        health care reform.
