Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Gun Crime Enforcement and Second
Amendment Restoration Act of 1996''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) One of the primary duties of government is to protect
its citizens from armed violent criminals. America's cherished
liberty and the social and economic prosperity of its
communities are dependent upon government's ability to maintain
public safety.
(2) Criminals, by definition, operate outside the law and
routinely acquire firearms when they so desire. Banning
specific types of firearms has no effect on the moral behavior
of those who choose to inflict harm on innocent citizens.
(3) The most effective way to protect the public from gun-
wielding violent criminals is to arrest, convict, and
incarcerate such predators, and to ensure that they serve
sentences of sufficient length to prevent them from returning
quickly to the streets.

SEC. 3. ARMED VIOLENT CRIMINAL APPREHENSION DIRECTIVE.

(a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the

assistant United States attorney to prosecute armed violent
criminals.
(2) Each United States attorney shall establish an armed
violent criminal apprehension task force comprised of
appropriate law enforcement representatives. The task force
shall develop strategies for removing armed violent criminals
from the streets, taking into consideration--
(A) the importance of severe punishment in
deterring armed violent crime;
(B) the effectiveness of Federal and State laws
pertaining to apprehension and prosecution of armed
violent criminals;
(C) the resources available to each law enforcement
agency participating in the task force;
(D) the nature and extent of the violent crime
occurring in the district for which the United States
attorney is appointed; and
(E) the principle of limited Federal involvement in
the prosecution of crimes traditionally prosecuted in
State and local jurisdictions.
(3) Not less frequently than monthly, the Attorney General
shall require each United States attorney to report to the
Department of Justice the number of defendants charged with, or
convicted of, violating section 922(g) or 924 of title 18,
United States Code, in the district for which the United States
attorney is appointed.
(4) Not less frequently than twice annually, the Attorney
General shall submit to the Congress a compilation of the
information received by the Department of Justice pursuant to
paragraph (3) and a report on all waivers granted under
subsection (b).
(b) Waiver Authority.--
(1) Request for waiver.--A United States attorney may
request the Attorney General to waive the requirements of
subsection (a) with respect to the United States attorney.
(2) Provision of waiver.--The Attorney General may waive
the requirements of subsection (a) pursuant to a request made
under paragraph (1), in accordance with guidelines which shall
be established by the Attorney General. In establishing the
guidelines, the Attorney General shall take into consideration
the number of assistant United States attorneys in the office
of the United States attorney making the request and the level
of violent crime committed in the district for which the United
States attorney is appointed.
(c) Armed Violent Criminal Defined.--As used in this section,
the term ''armed violent criminal'' means a person who is accused of
violating section 922(g)(1) of title 18, United States Code, having
been previously convicted of a violent crime, or who is accused of
violating section 924 of such title.

striking subsections (v) and (w) and by striking the appendix.
(b) Section 921(a) of such title is amended by striking paragraph
(30).
(c) Section 921(a)(31)(A) of such title is amended--

Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Foster Youth Mentoring Act of
2017''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Research shows that mentors make a difference in
children's lives. At-risk youth who have mentors are 55 percent
more likely to enroll in college. Students who meet regularly
with their mentors are 52 percent less likely than their peers
to skip a day of school. Youth who have mentors are also 130
percent more likely to hold a leadership position.
(2) Children that have mentors have improved relationships
with adults, fewer disciplinary referrals, and more confidence
to achieve their goals.
(3) In 2014, 415,129 children were in foster care. Of those
children 62,108 were between the ages of 10 and 13, and 120,567
were between the ages of 14 and 18.
(4) Mentoring programs that serve foster children are
unique and require additional considerations, including
specialized training and support necessary to provide for
consistent, long-term relationships for children in care.
(5) Mentoring programs can be used as an effective
preventative or intervention strategy to support positive
outcomes for foster youth.
