Q: 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.

A: 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.

Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Domestic Violence Enhanced Penalty
Act of 2014'' or as ''Candace's Law''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds as follows:
(1) Approximately 1 in 4 women will experience domestic
violence during her lifetime and every year, 1 in 3 women who
is a victim of homicide is murdered by her current or former
partner.
(2) Every year, more than 3 million children witness
domestic violence in their homes and children who live in homes
where there is domestic violence also suffer abuse or neglect
at high rates.
(3) Children are more likely to intervene when they witness
severe violence against a parent, which places them at great
risk for injury or even death.
(4) Girls who witness domestic violence are more vulnerable
to abuse as teens and adults and boys who witness domestic
violence are more likely to become adult abusers of their
partners, their children, or both, thus continuing the cycle of
violence in the next generation.
(5) Most domestic violence incidents are never reported.
(6) Family members, close friends, co-workers, and other
persons close to a victim of domestic violence frequently
observe things that lead to them to suspect that their loved
one or colleague is being abused but do not feel they possess
the knowledge and skills needed to provide constructive
assistance that can make a real difference in the life of the
victim.
(7) Domestic violence costs the national economy more than
$37 billion a year in law enforcement involvement, legal work,
medical and mental health treatment, and lost productivity.

FOR PERSONS CONVICTED OF COMMITTING ACT OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE IN THE PRESENCE OF A MINOR CHILD.

(a) In General.--For each fiscal year after the expiration of the

the State under the Violence Against Women Act of 2000.
(2) State constitutionality.--
(A) In general.--When evaluating whether a State
has substantially implemented this section, the
Attorney General shall consider whether the State is
unable to substantially implement this section because
of a demonstrated inability to implement certain
provisions that would place the State in violation of
its constitution, as determined by a ruling of the
State's highest court.
(B) Efforts.--If the circumstances arise under
subparagraph (A), then the Attorney General and the
State shall make good faith efforts to accomplish
substantial implementation of this section and to
reconcile any conflicts between this section and the
State's constitution. In considering whether compliance
with the requirements of this section would likely
violate the State's constitution or an interpretation

General shall consult with the chief executive and
chief legal officer of the State concerning the State's
interpretation of the State's constitution and rulings
thereon by the State's highest court.
(C) Alternative procedures.--If the State is unable
to substantially implement this section because of a
limitation imposed by the State's constitution, the

compliance with this Act if the State has implemented,
or is in the process of implementing, reasonable
alternative procedures or accommodations that are
consistent with the purposes of this Act.

implementing this section.

have the meaning given such term in section 901(a) of Omnibus Crime
Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 3791(a) et seq.).

A:
Domestic Violence Enhanced Penalty Act of 2014 or Candace's Law - Directs a state to provide by law enhanced sentencing requirements for persons convicted of committing, or attempting to commit, an act of domestic violence in the presence of minor children. Prohibits a state that fails within two years to implement this Act substantially from receiving 20% of the funds that would otherwise be allocated to it for the fiscal year under the Violence Against Women Act of 2000. Allows for reasonable alternative procedures or accommodations for compliance by a state that is unable to implement this Act substantially because of a conflict with the state constitution.
