    ``(b) Exceptions.--
            ``(1) The prohibition of subsection (a) does not apply if 
        the abortion was necessary to save the life of the minor

        violation of this section.
    ``(c) Affirmative Defense.--It is an affirmative defense to a 
prosecution for an offense, or to a civil action, based on a violation 
of this section that the defendant reasonably believed, based on 
information the defendant obtained directly from a parent of the minor 
or other compelling facts, that before the minor obtained the abortion,

place that would have been required by the law requiring parental 
involvement in a minor's abortion decision, had the abortion been 
performed in the State where the minor resides.
    ``(d) Civil Action.--Any parent who suffers harm from a violation

certain laws relating to abortion.

Output: Child Custody Protection Act - Amends the federal criminal code to prohibit transporting a minor across a state line to obtain an abortion (deems such transporting to be a de facto abridgment of the right of a parent under any law in the minors state of residence that requires parental involvement in the minors abortion decision). Makes an exception for an abortion necessary to save the life of the minor.

Protects from prosecution or civil liability the minor or the minors parents for violations of this Act.

Makes it an affirmative defense to a prosecution or civil action under this Act that a defendant reasonably believed that before the minor obtained the abortion, the required parental consent or notification or judicial authorization took place.

Authorizes any parent who suffers harm from a violation of this Act to seek relief in a civil action. Defines "parent" to include a guardian, legal custodian, or person standing in loco parentis.


Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) It is in the national interest that all citizens, 
        including active-duty service members, be allowed to vote in 
        Federal elections.
            (2) Since 1977, active-duty service members serving 
        overseas or on the United States mainland have been excluded 
        from fully participating and voting in both general and runoff 
        Federal elections in American Samoa due to several factors, 
        including local law that requires active duty military members 
        to register in person, limited air and mail service between the 
        U.S. mainland and American Samoa, and delays in the preparation 
        of new ballots in the case of runoff elections.
            (3) American Samoa law requiring uniformed service voters 
        to register to vote in person is contrary to the Uniformed and 
        Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (42 U.S.C. 1973ff et 
        seq.).
            (4) The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act 
        has been in effect for over 15 years, and American Samoa has 
        not addressed this discrepancy between Federal and territorial 
        law, despite notice that the discrepancy exists.
            (5) It is necessary to take additional action to ensure 
        that the votes of uniformed voters are counted in Federal 
        elections conducted in American Samoa and that active duty 
        service members (including reservists called to active duty) do 
        not need to appear in person to register to vote.
            (6) It is necessary to state that the Uniformed and 
        Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act supersedes American Samoa 
        law and American Samoa must comply with this Federal law.
            (7) It is also in the national interest that, to the extent 
        possible, Members of the United States House of Representatives 
        and non-voting Delegates be elected in the first week of 
        November in even-numbered years.
            (8) Since 1980, when the first election for the 
        Congressional Delegate from American Samoa was held, there have 
        been several general elections at which there was no final 
        resolution of who was elected as the Delegate for the next 
        Congress, and run-off elections were required.
            (9) When the outcome of the Delegate election is not 
        resolved until a runoff election is held, a final determination 
        of who the Delegate will be is not made known until late 
        November.
            (10) A delayed outcome may place a newly elected Delegate 
        in a more junior position to other Members of Congress elected 
        on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November in an 
        election year.
            (11) When more than 2 candidates file to run for election 
        for the office of Delegate, holding a primary election to 
        reduce the number of candidates to 2 will greatly increase the 
        likelihood that the general election will produce a candidate 
        who receives a majority of the votes cast.

SEC. 2. PRIMARY ELECTION REQUIRED.

    Section 2(a) of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide that the 
Territory of American Samoa be represented by a nonvoting Delegate to 
the United States House of Representatives, and for other purposes'', 
approved October 31, 1978 (48 U.S.C. 1732(a)) is amended--
            (1) by inserting ``(1)'' after ``(a)''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new paragraphs:
    ``(2) In any general election year when 3 or more eligible 
individuals file by the first Tuesday of July as candidates for the 
office of Delegate, a primary election shall be held on the first 
Tuesday of August of that general election year. If the primary 
election results in 1 candidate receiving more than 50 percent of the 
votes cast, then that candidate shall be the only candidate on the 
ballot for the general election for Delegate that year. If the primary 
election results in no candidate receiving more than 50 percent of the 
votes cast, then the 2 candidates receiving the most votes cast shall 
be on the ballot for the general election year. If there is a tie for 
the 2 candidates receiving the most votes, the names of the 2 
candidates shall be listed on the ballot for that general election 
year.
    ``(3) Candidates for the office of Delegate to the United States 
House of Representatives must file their candidacy not later than the 
first Tuesday of July each year that a general election referred to in 
paragraph (1) is scheduled to be held.''.

SEC. 3. CONFORMING AMENDMENTS.

    Section 4 of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide that the 
Territory of American Samoa be represented by a nonvoting Delegate to 
the United States House of Representatives, and for other purposes'', 
approved October 31, 1978 (48 U.S.C. 1734), is amended by inserting 
``in a general Federal election'' after ``ties between candidates''.

SEC. 4. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    The amendments made by this Act shall take effect on January 1, 
2003.

Output: Declares that it is necessary to state that the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act supersedes American Samoa law and American Samoa must comply with it.Requires a primary election to be held in American Samoa on the first Tuesday of August of any general election year when three or more eligible individuals have filed by the first Tuesday of July as candidates for the office of Delegate representing American Samoa in the U.S. House of Representatives.

   TITLE I--CAPACITY BUILDING FOR URBAN SEARCH AND RESCUE TASK FORCES

SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``National Urban Search and Rescue 
Task Force Assistance Act of 2002''.

SEC. 102. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 
        established the National Urban Search and Rescue Response 
        System in 1989 pursuant to requirement in the Earthquakes 
        Hazards Reduction Act of 1977 which directed FEMA to provide 
        adequate search and rescue capacity in the event of an 
        earthquake;
            (2) once the President has issued a major disaster 
        declaration following a request by a governor, FEMA may 
        activate up to three task forces that are closest to the 
        disaster and additional task forces may be activated as 
        necessary;
            (3) each task force must be able to deploy all personnel 
        and equipment within six hours of activation and are expected 
        to be able to sustain themselves for the first 72 hours of 
        operations;
            (4) each task force must be capable of deploying at least 
        62 fully trained individuals, with each position staffed three 
        deep to ensure the availability of at least two alternatives 
        available in reserve for each position for a total of 186 
        members in each task force;
            (5) task forces are supported by Incident Support Teams 
        which provide technical assistance to state and local emergency 
        managers, coordinate the activities of multiple task forces, 
        and provide logistical support;
            (6) in fiscal year 2001, FEMA provided $7,200,000 to the 
        task forces for training and equipment, allocated according to 
        need;
            (7) in fiscal year 2001, FEMA provided some $6,000,000 for 
        upgrading the capability of six task forces to respond to 
        disaster resulting from the use of weapons of mass destruction, 
        including the capacity to search and provide assistance in an 
        environment with chemical, biological, or radiological 
        contamination;
            (8) there currently are 28 task forces throughout the 
        United States;
            (9) since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the 
        need for fully equipped and trained task forces is obvious;
            (10) by noon of September 12, 2001, eight task forces were 
        working valiantly with the courageous New York firefighters to 
        address the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the World 
        Trade Center, four task forces responded to the attacks on the 
        Pentagon, and 25 of 28 task forces were deployed over a three-
        week period;
            (11) each task force is currently in need of additional 
        training and support equipment with each task force being 
        deployed with some 80,000 pounds of search, rescue, and support 
        equipment valued at some $1,800,000;
            (12) each task force is supported by some $150,000 per year 
        in operating costs with needs of approximately $1,500,000 to 
        maintain optimum operational efficiency;
            (13) many task forces have inadequate transportation to 
        ensure a timely response to disasters, including acts of 
        terrorism;
            (14) the cost of maintaining FEMA's Incident Support Teams 
        as part of the search and rescue task forces is $5,000,000 per 
        year;
            (15) the Federal Government needs to ensure that each task 
        force is adequately trained and equipped to perform urban 
        search and rescue functions in all environments, including the 
        aftermath from acts of terrorism involving weapons of mass 
        destruction;
            (16) the Federal Government needs to ensure that each task 
        force has adequate equipment to meet all operational needs and 
        staff support;
            (17) the Federal Government needs to ensure that each task 
        force has the capability to put two full teams in the field to 
        meet any disaster or act of terrorism;
            (18) the Federal Government needs to ensure that designated 
        task forces have the capability to deploy internationally to 
        provide search and rescue functions vital to our interests and 
        those of our allies; and
            (19) while these task forces were originally created for 
        earthquake response, these highly capable task forces have an 
        expanding and vital role in responding to acts of terrorism, 
        including those involving weapons of mass destruction.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this act is to provide the needed 
funds, equipment, and training to ensure that all urban search and 
rescue task forces have the full capability to respond to all emergency 
search and rescue needs arising from any disaster, including acts of 
terrorism involving a weapon of mass destruction.
