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.
answer:
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.

question:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Community Integration Act of 2016''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Supreme Court's 1999 decision in Olmstead v. L.C., 
        527 U.S. 581 (1999), held that the unnecessary segregation of 
        individuals with disabilities is a violation of the Americans 
        with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.).
            (2) Under Olmstead, individuals generally have the right to 
        receive their supports and services in home and community-based 
        settings, rather than in institutional settings, if they so 
        choose.
            (3) Olmstead envisioned that States would provide 
        appropriate long-term services and supports to individuals with 
        disabilities through home and community-based services and end 
        forced segregation in nursing homes and other institutions.
            (4) While there has been progress in rebalancing State 
        spending on individuals with disabilities in institutions as 
        compared to home and community-based settings, more than 75 
        percent of States continue to spend the majority of their long-
        term care dollars on nursing homes and other institutional 
        settings, and the number of individuals with disabilities under 
        age 65 in nursing homes increased between 2008 and 2012.
            (5) As of June 2013, there were more than 200,000 
        individuals younger than age 65 in nursing homes--almost 16 
        percent of the total nursing home population.
            (6) Thirty-eight studies published from 2005 to 2012 
        concluded that providing services in home and community-based 
        settings is less costly than providing care in a nursing home 
        or other institutional setting.
            (7) No clear or centralized reporting system exists to 
        compare how effectively States are meeting the Olmstead 
        mandate.

SEC. 3. ENSURING MEDICAID BENEFICIARIES MAY ELECT TO RECEIVE CARE IN A 
              HOME AND COMMUNITY-BASED SETTING.

    (a) In General.--Section 1902(a) of the Social Security Act (42 
U.S.C. 1396a(a)) is amended--
            (1) in paragraph (81), by striking ``and'' at the end;
            (2) in paragraph (82), by striking the period and inserting 
        ``; and''; and
            (3) by inserting after paragraph (82) the following new 
        paragraph:
            ``(83) in the case of any individual with respect to whom 
        there has been a determination that the individual requires the 
        level of care provided in a nursing facility, intermediate care 
        facility for the mentally retarded, institution for mental 
        disease, or other similarly restrictive or institutional 
        setting--
                    ``(A) provide the individual with the choice and 
                opportunity to receive such care in a home and 
                community-based setting, including rehabilitative 
                services, assistance and support in accomplishing 
                activities of daily living, instrumental activities of 
                daily living, and health-related tasks, and assistance 
                in acquiring, maintaining, or enhancing skills 
                necessary to accomplish such activities, tasks, or 
                services;
                    ``(B) ensure that each such individual has an equal 
                opportunity (when compared to the receipt and 
                availability of nursing facility services) to receive 
                care in a home and community-based setting, if the 
                individual so chooses, by ensuring that the provision 
                of such care in a home and community-based setting is 
                widely available on a statewide basis for all such 
                individuals within the State; and
                    ``(C) meet the requirements of section 1904A 
                (relating to the provision of care in a home and 
                community-based setting).''.
    (b) Requirements for Community Care Options.--Title XIX of the 
Social Security Act is amended by inserting after section 1904 (42 
U.S.C. 1396c) the following new section:

         ``provisions related to home and community-based care

        otherwise available to the Secretary.

and for each fiscal year thereafter, each State shall submit to the

Department of Health and Human Services, not later than April 1 of the 
succeeding fiscal year, a report, in such form and manner as the 
Secretary shall require, that includes--
            ``(1) the total number of individuals enrolled in the State 
        plan or under a waiver of the plan during such fiscal year that 
        required the level of care provided in a nursing facility, 
        intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded, 
        institution for mental disease, or other similarly restrictive 
        or institutional setting, disaggregated by the type of facility 
        or setting;
            ``(2) with respect to the total number described in 
        paragraph (1), the total number of individuals described in 
        that paragraph who received care in a nursing facility, 
        intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded, 
        institution for mental disease, or other similarly restrictive 
        or institutional setting, disaggregated by the type of facility 
        or setting; and
            ``(3) with respect to the total number described in 
        paragraph (2), the total number of individuals described in 
        that paragraph who were transitioned from a nursing facility, 
        intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded, 
        institution for mental disease, or other similarly restrictive 
        or institutional setting to a home and community-based setting, 
        disaggregated by the type of home and community-based 
        setting.''.
    (c) Inclusion as a Mandatory Service.--Section 1905(a)(4)(A) of the 
Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396d(a)(4)(A)) is amended by striking 
``other than'' and inserting ``including similar services such as 
rehabilitative services and assistance and support in accomplishing 
activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, 
and health-related tasks, that are provided, at the individual's 
option, in a home and community-based setting (as defined in section 
1904A(a)(3)), but not including''.
    (d) Application to Waivers.--Notwithstanding section 1904A of the 
Social Security Act (as added by subsection (b)), such section and 
sections 1902(a)(83) and 1905(a)(4)(A) of the Social Security Act (42 
U.S.C. 1396 et seq.), as amended by subsections (a) and (c), 
respectively, shall not apply to any individuals who are eligible for 
medical assistance for home and community-based services under a waiver 
under section 1115 or 1915 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1315, 
1396n) and who are receiving such services, to the extent such sections

    (e) Effective Date.--
            (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the 
        amendments made by this section shall take effect on October 1,

            (2) Delay permitted if state legislation required.--In the 
        case of a State plan under section 1902 of the Social Security 
        Act (42 U.S.C. 1396a) which the Secretary of Health and Human 
        Services determines requires State legislation (other than 
        legislation appropriating funds) in order for the plan to meet 
        the additional requirements imposed by the amendments made by 
        this section, the State plan shall not be regarded as failing 
        to comply with the requirements of such section 1902 solely on 
        the basis of the failure of the plan to meet such additional 
        requirements before the first day of the first calendar quarter 
        beginning after the close of the first regular session of the 
        State legislature that begins after the date of enactment of 
        this Act. For purposes of the previous sentence, in the case of 
        a State that has a 2-year legislative session, each year of 
        such session shall be deemed to be a separate regular session 
        of the State legislature.
