SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Safe Teen and Novice Driver Uniform
Protection Act of 2011'' or the ''STANDUP Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has
reported that--
(A) motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of
death of Americans between 15 and 20 years of age;
(B) between 1999 and 2009, more than 90,000
Americans were killed in motor vehicle crashes
involving drivers between 15 and 20 years of age, an
average of 155 deaths per week;
(C) drivers between 16 and 20 years of age have a
fatality rate that is 4 times higher than the rate for
drivers between 25 and 70 years of age; and
(D) teenage drivers who are 16 years of age have a
motor vehicle crash rate that is almost 10 times higher
than the crash rate for drivers between 30 and 60 years
of age.
(2) The National Transportation Safety Board found that
during the most recent 10-year period--
(A) teen drivers comprised less than 7 percent of
the driving population and accounted for more than 13
percent of drivers involved in all deadly crashes; and
(B) more than 20 percent of all highway fatalities
occurred in crashes that involved teen drivers.
(3) Analysis by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Research Institute shows that--
(A) teenage drivers comprise approximately 40
percent of the fatalities in motor vehicle crashes in
which they are involved; and
(B) the other 60 percent of the fatalities in those
crashes are--
(i) passengers who were riding in the
vehicle with the teen driver;
(ii) drivers and passengers in other
vehicles involved in a crash with the teen
driver's vehicle; and
(iii) pedestrians.
(4) According to the Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety--
(A) the chance that a vehicle driven by a 16- or
17-year-old will be involved in an accident--
(i) doubles when there are 2 other teens in
the vehicle; and
(ii) quadruples when there are 4 teens in
the vehicle;
(B) States with strong nighttime driving
restrictions experience lower fatal crash rates among
drivers ages 15 to 17 years old; and
(C) a higher age requirement for licensing teen
drivers is correlated with a lower number of fatal
crashes per capita.
(5) The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has
found that distraction caused by cellular phones is significant
enough to degrade driver performance, and is particularly
dangerous for inexperienced drivers between 15 and 20 years of
age.
(6) That National Transportation Safety Board has found
that although only 20 percent of driving by teenage drivers
occurs at night, more than 50 percent of the motor vehicle
crash fatalities involving teenage drivers occur at night.
(7) According to a 2007 report from the Texas
Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University--
(A) teenage drivers in rural areas are less likely
to be aware of the risks and dangers associated with
driving, placing them at higher risk of involvement in
crashes;
(B) teen drivers are more likely than other
drivers--
(i) to drive with other teenage passengers;
(ii) to drive late at night;
(iii) to exceed the speed limit;
(iv) to use cell phones while driving; and
(v) to fail to use seat belts while
driving.
(8) The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
reports that although 23 percent of the population of the
United States lives in rural areas, 57 percent of all traffic
fatalities occur on rural roads, underscoring the elevated
crash risk for teen drivers in rural areas.
(9) The American Academy of Pediatrics has found evidence
that the area of the brain responsible for planning, impulse
control, and executive decisionmaking does not fully mature
until a person is between 20 and 25 years of age, placing teen
drivers at greater risk of being involved in an accident.
(10) The Journal of the American Medical Association
reports that after Michigan and North Carolina adopted
comprehensive graduated driver licensing systems in 1997,
crashes involving 16-year-old drivers decreased by 25 percent
in Michigan and by 27 percent in North Carolina.
(11) According to the Office of the Illinois Secretary of
State, teen driving deaths dropped by over 40 percent in
Illinois in the first full year following the 2007
implementation of a stronger graduated driver licensing law.
(12) The National Transportation Safety Board reports that
over 40 States and the District of Columbia have implemented
some type of 3-stage graduated driver licensing system.
However, most States have not yet enacted all of the lifesaving
safety features of graduated driver licensing laws recommended
by the National Transportation Safety Board and supported by
research to protect the lives of teenage and novice drivers.
(13) A 2010 national survey by the Insurance Institute of
Highway Safety indicates that--
(A) parents of teens favor graduated driver
licensing laws that are as strict or stricter than
those that currently exist in any State;
(B) /3\ of parents of teens believe that young
drivers should begin learning to drive at 16 years of
age or older;
(C) more than /2\ of parents of teens believe
that the minimum licensing age should be 17 years of
age or older;
(D) 90 percent of parents of teens support a
restriction on unsupervised nighttime driving;
(E) more than 75 percent of parents of teens
believe that the restriction on unsupervised nighttime
driving should begin at 10 p.m. or earlier;
(F) 89 percent of parents of teens support
restrictions on teen passengers; and
(G) more than 75 percent of parents of teens
believe that teen drivers should not be permitted to
more than 1 teen passenger in their vehicle.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Breast Cancer and Environmental
Research Act of 2005''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds as follows:
(1) Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer
deaths among American women.
(2) More women in the United States are living with breast
cancer than any other cancer (excluding skin cancer).
Approximately 3,000,000 women in the United States are living
with breast cancer, about 2,000,000 of which have been
diagnosed and an estimated 1,000,000 who do not yet know that
they have the disease.
(3) Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer
among women in the United States and worldwide (excluding skin
cancer). In 2005, it is estimated that 269,730 new cases of
breast cancer will be diagnosed among women in the United
States, 211,240 invasive breast cancers and 58,490 cases of
ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
(4) Approximately 40,410 women in the United States will
die from the disease in 2005. Breast cancer is the leading
cause of cancer death for women in the United States between
the ages of 20 and 59, and the leading cause of cancer death
for women worldwide.
(5) A woman who lives into her 80s in the United States has
a 1 in 7 chance of developing invasive breast cancer in her
lifetime. This risk was 1 in 11 in 1975. In 2005, a new case of
breast cancer will be diagnosed every 2 minutes and a woman
will die from breast cancer every 13 minutes.
(6) All women are at risk for breast cancer. About 90
percent of women who develop breast cancer do not have a family
history of the disease.
(7) The National Action Plan on Breast Cancer, a public
private partnership, has recognized the importance of expanding
the scope and breadth of biomedical, epidemiological, and
behavioral research activities related to the etiology of
breast cancer and the role of the environment.
(8) To date, there has been only a limited research
investment to expand the scope or coordinate efforts across
disciplines or work with the community to study the role of the
environment in the development of breast cancer.
(9) In 2003, the National Institute of Environmental Health
Sciences awarded grants to four research centers to begin to
study the prenatal-to-adult environmental exposures that may
predispose a woman to breast cancer. The currently funded
research is examining the mammary tissue in animals and young
girls and study the subjects' life exposures to environmental,
nutritional, and social factors that impact menarche. Early
menarche, beginning menstruation before the age of 12, has been
shown to increase breast cancer risk later in life.
(10) The National Cancer Institute and the National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences have paired together
to make those four centers possible. The two institutes work
well together, combining their respective areas of expertise to
the best advantage of the research.
(11) In order to take full advantage of the tremendous
potential for avenues of prevention, the Federal investment in
the role of the environment and the development of breast
cancer should be expanded. The research conducted at the four
centers, while critically important, is one small facet of the
many issues that must be addressed in order to gauge the link
between environmental factors and breast cancer.
(12) In order to understand the effect of chemicals and
radiation on the development of cancer, multi-generational,
prospective studies are probably required.

SEC. 3. NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SCIENCES; AWARDS FOR
DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF RESEARCH CENTERS REGARDING
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS RELATED TO BREAST CANCER.

Subpart 12 of part C of title IV of the Public Health Service Act
