            ``(8) Additional requirement for certain states.--In the

        subdivisions pay for any fiscal year quarters occurring during 
        a national economic downturn assistance period a greater 
        percentage of the non-Federal share of such expenditures, or a 
        greater percentage of the non-Federal share of payments under

        been required by the State under State law in effect on the 
        first day of the fiscal year quarter occurring immediately 
        prior to the trigger quarter for the period.''.
            (2) Effective date; no retroactive application.--The 
        amendments made by paragraph (1) take effect on January 1, 
        2012. In no event may a State receive a payment on the basis of 
        the national economic downturn assistance Federal medical 
        assistance percentage determined for the State under section 
        1905(y)(3) of the Social Security Act for amounts expended by 
        the State prior to January 1, 2012.
    (b) GAO Study and Report.--
            (1) Study.--The Comptroller General of the United States 
        shall analyze the previous periods of national economic 
        downturn, including the most recent such period in effect as of 
        the date of enactment of this Act, and the past and projected 
        effects of temporary increases in the Federal medical 
        assistance percentage under the Medicaid program with respect 
        to such periods.
            (2) Report.--Not later than April 1, 2011, the Comptroller 
        General of the United States shall submit a report to Congress 
        on the results of the analysis conducted under paragraph (1). 
        Such report shall include such recommendations as the 
        Comptroller General determines appropriate for modifying the 
        national economic downturn assistance FMAP established under 
        section 1905(y) of the Social Security Act (as added by 
        subsection (a)) to improve the effectiveness of the application 
        of such percentage in addressing the needs of States during 
        periods of national economic downturn, including 
        recommendations for--
                    (A) improvements to the factors that begin and end 
                the application of such percentage;
                    (B) how the determination of such percentage could 
                be adjusted to address State and regional economic 
                variations during such periods; and
                    (C) how the determination of such percentage could 
                be adjusted to be more responsive to actual Medicaid 
                costs incurred by States during such periods, as well 
                as to the effects of any other specific economic 
                indicators that the Comptroller General determines 
                appropriate.
Example Output: Amends title XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act to authorize an automatic increase in the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) for any eligible state during periods of national economic downturn.

Directs the Comptroller General to analyze and report to Congress on previous periods of national economic downturn, including the most recent one, and the past and projected effects of temporary increases in the Medicaid FMAP with respect to them.

Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``International Child Marriage 
Prevention and Assistance Act of 2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Research shows that child marriage in developing 
        nations is often associated with adverse economic and social 
        consequences and is dangerous to the health, security, and 
        well-being of girls and detrimental to the economic development 
        of communities.
            (2) The issue of child marriage is interwoven with broader 
        social and cultural issues and is most effectively addressed as 
        a development challenge through integrated, community-based 
        approaches to promote and support girls' education and skill-
        building and healthcare, legal rights, and awareness for girls 
        and women.
            (3) As Charlotte Ponticelli, Senior Coordinator for 
        International Women's Issues for the Department of State, 
        stated on September 14, 2005: ``It is unconscionable that in 
        the 21st century girls as young as 7 or 8 can be sold as 
        brides. There is no denying that extreme poverty is the driving 
        factor that has enabled the practice to continue, even in 
        countries where it has been outlawed...We need to be shining 
        the spotlight on early marriage and its underlying causes...We 
        must continue to do everything we can to ensure that girls have 
        every opportunity to become agents of change and to expand the 
        `realm of what is possible' for their societies and the world 
        at large.''
            (4) The severity of the adverse impact of child marriage 
        increases as the age at marriage and first childbirth 
        decreases.
            (5) A Department of State survey in 2005 found that child 
        marriage was a concern in 64 out of 182 countries surveyed and 
        that the practice is especially acute in sub-Saharan Africa and 
        South Asia.
            (6) According to the United Nations Children's Fund, in 
        Ethiopia and in parts of West Africa marriage at the age of 7 
        or 8 is not uncommon.
            (7) In developing countries, girls aged 10 to 14 who become 
        pregnant are 5 times more likely to die in pregnancy or 
        childbirth than women aged 20 to 24.
            (8) Girls in sub-Saharan Africa are at much higher risk of 
        suffering obstetric fistula.
            (9) According to the Department of State: ``Pregnancy at an 
        early age often leads to obstetric fistulae and permanent 
        incontinence. In Ethiopia, treatment is available at only 1 
        hospital in Addis Ababa that performs over 1,000 fistula 
        operations a year. It estimates that for every successful 
        operation performed, 10 other young women need the treatment. 
        The maternal mortality rate is extremely high due, in part, to 
        food taboos for pregnant women, poverty, early marriage, and 
        birth complications related to FGM [Female Genital Mutilation], 
        especially infibulation.''.
            (10) Adolescents are at greater risk of complications 
        during childbirth that can lead to fistula because they have 
        less access to health care and are subject to other significant 
        risk factors related to the mother's physical immaturity.
            (11) In nearly every case of obstetric fistula, the baby 
        will be stillborn.
            (12) The physical symptoms of obstetric fistula include 
        incontinence or constant uncontrollable leaking of urine or 
        feces, frequent bladder infections, infertility, and foul odor. 
        The condition often leads to the desertion of fistula sufferers 
        by husbands and family members and extreme social stigma.
            (13) Although data on obstetric fistula are scarce, the 
        World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are more 
        than 2,000,000 women living with fistula and 50,000 to 100,000 
        new cases each year. These figures are based on the number of 
        women who seek medical care. Many more suffer from the 
        disabling condition.
            (14) Adolescent girls are more susceptible than mature 
        women to sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, due to 
        both biological and social factors.
            (15) Research in several countries with high rates of HIV 
        infection indicates that married girls are at greater risk for 
        HIV than their unmarried peers.
            (16) Child marriage can have additional long-term 
        consequences when combined with female genital cutting because 
        the girls who have undergone that procedure can experience 
        greater complications during pregnancy, leading to lasting 
        health problems for themselves and their children.
            (17) Child marriage is a leading barrier to girls' 
        education in certain developing countries.
            (18) A high incidence of child marriage undermines the 
        efforts of developing countries and donor countries, including 
        the United States, to promote economic and social development.
            (19) The causes of child marriage include poverty, custom, 
        and the desire to protect girls from violence or premarital 
        sexual relations.
            (20) Child marriage may also be a product of gender 
        violence in which a man abducts and rapes a girl and then, 
        sometimes through negotiations with traditional leaders, 
        negotiates a settlement with the girl's parents, including 
        marriage to the victim.
            (21) The practice of child marriage is considered a 
        ``harmful traditional practice'' by the United Nations 
        Children's Fund.
            (22) The Convention on Consent to Marriage, Minimum Age for 
        Marriage, and Registration of Marriages, adopted at the United 
        Nations, December 10, 1962, requires the parties to the 
        Convention to overcome all ``customs, ancient laws, and 
        practices by ensuring complete freedom in the choice of a 
        spouse, eliminating completely child marriages and the 
        betrothal of young girls before the age of puberty''.
            (23) The African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the 
        Child, which entered into force in 1990, provides that ``child 
        marriage and the betrothal of girls and boys shall be 
        prohibited and effective action, including legislation, shall 
        be taken to specify the minimum age of marriage to be eighteen 
        years''.
            (24) In Ethiopia, Girls' Activity Committees, community-
        based groups formed to support girls in school and advocate for 
        girls' education, have conducted community awareness and 
        informational campaigns, enlisted the assistance of traditional 
        clan and religious leaders, discouraged families from 
        practicing child marriage, encouraged girls' school attendance, 
        and taken steps to reduce gender-based violence and create 
        safer environments for girls en route to or from school and in 
        the classroom.
            (25) Recognizing the importance of the issue and the 
        effects of child marriage, the Senior Coordinator for 
        International Women's Issues of the Department of State 
        initiated an effort in 2005 to collect and assess information 
        on the incidence of child marriage and on the existence and 
        effectiveness of initiatives funded by the United States to 
        reduce the incidence of child marriage or the negative effects 
        of child marriage and to measure the need for additional 
        programs.

SEC. 4. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the untapped economic and educational potential of 
        girls and women in many developing nations represent an 
        enormous loss to those societies;
            (2) expanding educational opportunities for girls and 
        economic opportunities for women and reducing maternal and 
        child mortality are critical to the achievement of 
        internationally recognized health and development goals and of 
        many global health and development objectives of the United 
        States, including efforts to prevent HIV/AIDS;
            (3) since child marriage is a leading barrier to the 
        continuation of girl's education in many developing countries, 
        it is important to integrate this issue into new and existing 
        United States-funded efforts to promote education, strengthen
