1st Session
H. R. 1438
To require certain nonprofit and not-for-profit social welfare
organizations to submit disclosure reports on foreign funding to the
Attorney General; and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 8, 2023
Mr. Bergman introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require certain nonprofit and not-for-profit social welfare
organizations to submit disclosure reports on foreign funding to the
Attorney General; and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Think Tank Transparency Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Think tanks have provided Congress and the
Administration with a wealth of research and scholarship that
largely has benefitted the American public by improving the
drafting, enactment, and enforcement of U.S. policy.
(2) There is broad bipartisan agreement that think tanks
possess enormous influence on the passage and enforcement of
policies, particularly those that relate to foreign policy.
(3) In recent years, foreign funding of think tanks has
increased substantially.
(4) Congress, the Administration, and especially the
American people have a right to know which think tanks receive
foreign funds and to assess for themselves the extent that
foreign influence should be considered when analyzing the
credibility and value of research and scholarship produced by
such organizations that receive foreign funds.
(5) The House has already recognized the national security
issues inherent in undue foreign influence of entities with
covert sources of foreign funding who testify before Congress.
Since 2015, individuals who testify before the U.S. House of
Representatives have been required to disclose relevant foreign
funding sources directed to them or their employers in Truth in
Testimony disclosure forms. (The original looser requirement
was enacted in 1997).
(6) Over 30 years ago, Congress enacted section 117 of the
Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) in light of concerns about
the growing financial relationship between U.S. universities
and foreign sources. Congress balanced academic freedom and
national security by mandating financial transparency through
required reporting of contracts with and gifts from a foreign
source.
(7) Section 117 does not prohibit institutions from taking
foreign money; it mandates accurate and transparent disclosures
of sources and amounts to the Department of Education. In 2019,
the Department took concrete steps to enforce section 117 by
ensuring the integrity of reporting requirements, confirming
the correct reporting and categorization of donations, and
prohibiting the use of domestic conduits and intermediaries to
avoid the disclosures of foreign gifts.
(8) Between 2011 and 2021, Russia has given at least $160
million to U.S. universities. China alone has given at least
$2.7 billion during the same time frame. And during that span,
the State of Qatar has given at least $5 billion to U.S.
universities.
(9) Each of these nations has a repressive and deeply
troubling record on human rights, and all three have engaged in
cyber espionage targeting Americans.
(10) Russia, China, and Qatar all pose grave threats to
U.S. national security interests, yet they have successfully
lavished billions of dollars to cultivate strong ties with
institutions of higher education and research across the United
States.
(11) There is also evidence suggesting that Qatar
encouraged and potentially facilitated U.S. universities
receiving its largess to flout U.S. disclosure requirements
under section 117 of the Higher Education Act.
(12) Although the Center for International Policy conducted
a study in 2020 that concluded that think tanks focused on
Federal policy received at least $174 million in funding from
foreign governmental entities between 2014 and 2018, there is
currently no means to determine the actual level or extent of
foreign influence on such think tanks.
(13) While the exact amount of foreign funding that U.S.
based think tanks receive is unknown, it is clear that the
foreign sources would not provide that level of funding unless
it impacted think tanks' policy recommendations.
(14) One prominent think tank, the East West Institute,
received substantial funding from China's People's Liberation
Army, which conducts cyber espionage attacks, including against
Americans. After the East West Institute was dissolved in 2021,
the Stimson Center took over several of the think tank's key
programs involving China.
(15) The Stimson Center worked to significantly alter the
Homeland and Cyber Threat Act (H.R. 1607, introduced into the
117th Congress on March 8, 2021). The HACT Act, which would
provide an exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of
1976 (FSIA) to allow U.S. persons harmed by foreign-government
sponsored cyberattacks to bring civil claims for damages,
passed in the last Congress with broad bipartisan support. The
changes advocated by the Stimson Center would gut the bill and
render it completely ineffective in holding foreign nations and
their agents responsible for cyberattacks on and in the United
States.
(16) One of the main sources of the Stimson Center's
funding is the State of Qatar, a major sponsor of terrorism
worldwide and one of the most notorious sponsors of
cyberattacks against U.S. entities. In 2019 alone, the Stimson
Center took over $600,000 in contributions from the Government
of Qatar.
(17) The Brookings Institution has received at least $22
million from the State of Qatar from 2013 through 2021, but the
exact amount has not been disclosed publicly.
(18) There is also significant concern in Congress about
potential contractual stipulations tied to foreign funding that
could be leveraged by foreign powers to exert even greater
influence over the research and policy recommendations of think
tanks that the Federal Government and the American public would
otherwise believe to be independent.
(19) In a 2007 ``Establishment Agreement'' between the
Brookings Institution and Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs--
which appears to have been in place in its original form
through the end of 2021--the Doha ``branch'' of the Brookings
Institution, called Brookings Doha Center, was effectively
owned and controlled by the Emir of Qatar. Under the terms of
the contract, the Brookings Institution's role in the Doha
Center was limited to that of a ``Promoter''.
(20) As only revealed publicly in June 2022, the Brookings
Doha Center was a separate and distinct legal entity,
specifically a Private Foundation for the Public Benefit, the
same incorporation status as the State of Qatar's propaganda
arm, Al Jazeera.
(21) Pursuant to the 2007 Establishment Agreement, the
Director of the Brookings Doha Center was required to report
directly to Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including to
``engage in regular consultation . . . regarding the
development and ongoing operations'' and for prior approval of
``programs that will be developed by the [Brookings Doha]
Center''.
(22) The Brookings Doha Center was renamed the Middle East
Council on Global Affairs, and evidence indicates that it is
now entirely under the control of the Qatari Government.
According to a January 2022 ``Amendment'' to the 2007 Articles
of Incorporation, the Brookings Institution ceded the
``Promoter'' role for Brookings Doha Center to a senior
employee of Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Majed Al-
Ansari. This Amendment also called on the Middle East Council
to assume control of intellectual property rights that had been
under the ``Brookings'' brand, including the content from and
followers of the ``@BrookingsDoha'' Twitter account.
(23) Congress currently is unable to determine what other
agreements that the Brookings Institution or other influential
think tanks have with foreign governmental entities, a void
which has already been exploited by at least the State of Qatar
in obtaining prior approval of budgets and research projects
conducted under the branding of the Brookings Institution and
the Brookings Doha Center in the aforementioned 2007 contract,
or the transference of valuable intellectual property to the
Qatari Government pursuant to the 2022 amendment.
(24) There is broad bipartisan agreement that undue foreign
influence obscured through the use of proxies--or hidden by the
powerful brand of a highly respected think tank--threatens the
national security interests of the United States. There is also
broad agreement that transparency is the most important and
effective tool for reducing the harm of foreign influence
targeting U.S. public policy or public opinion.
(25) As such, this bill aims to provide critical
transparency regarding the foreign funding provided to and the
related contractual agreements with think tanks whose work
includes influencing U.S. policies or public opinion.

A BILL
To amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to allow all eligible voters
to vote by mail in Federal elections, to amend the National Voter
Registration Act of 1993 to provide for automatic voter registration,
and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Vote at Home Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) An inequity of voting rights exists in the United
States because voters in some States have the universal right
to vote by mail while voters in other States do not.
(2) Many voters often have work, family, or other
commitments that make getting to polls and waiting in line on
the date of an election difficult or impossible. Many citizens
with disabilities are physically unable to vote due to long
lines, inadequate parking, no curb cuts, steep ramps, and large
crowds. In 2012, 30 percent of voters with disabilities had
difficulty voting, and in 2016, nearly two-thirds of the 137
polling places inspected on Election Day had at least one
impediment to people with disabilities. However, with expanded
access to mail-in ballots, people with disabilities made large
gains in 2020 with a historic voter turnout surge.
(3) In 2020, despite a global pandemic, the general
election saw record high turnout as a result of increased vote
by mail options, which allowed voters to cast a ballot and stay
safe at the same time.
(4) 34 States and the District of Columbia currently allow
universal absentee voting (also known as ``no-excuse'' absentee
voting), which permits any voter to request a mail-in ballot
without providing a reason for the request. No State which has
implemented no-excuse absentee voting has repealed it.
(5) 5 States currently hold elections entirely by mail. 8
States proactively send all registered voters a ballot to be
submitted by mail or dropped off at a designated location. At
least 22 States currently allow some elections to be conducted
by mail, especially in large and rural jurisdictions where
voting by mail is especially convenient. Polling stations in
rural jurisdictions tend to have higher costs per voter,
smaller staffs, and limited resources. Transportation is often
a crucial barrier for rural voters.
(6) In 2020, in order to provide greater accessibility and
to protect the public health, 30 States adopted or changed
their laws for the general election to allow voters to cast
their ballots from home. These changes included removing strict
excuse requirements or allowing COVID-19 concerns to be a valid
excuse to vote absentee, allowing ballot drop boxes, offering
prepaid postage on election mail and proactively sending all
active registered voters applications to request an absentee
ballot, with some even skipping that step and sending the
actual ballots.
(7) Voting by mail gives voters more time to consider their
choices, which is especially important as many ballots contain
greater numbers of questions about complex issues than in the
past due to the expanded use of the initiative and referendum
process in many States.
(8) Voting by mail is cost effective. After the State of
Oregon adopted vote by mail for all voters in 1996, the cost to
administer an election in the State dropped by nearly 30
percent over the next few elections, from $3.07 per voter to
$2.21 per voter. After Colorado implemented all-mail balloting
in 2013, voting administration costs decreased by an average of
40 percent. The cost of conducting vote-by-mail elections is
generally one-third to one-half less than conducting polling
place elections. Voting by mail also saves a substantial amount
by getting rid of the temporary labor costs of hiring poll
workers. In addition to that cost, many jurisdictions have been
facing difficulty in obtaining sufficient numbers of poll
workers.
(9) Allowing all voters the option to vote by mail can
reduce waiting times for those voters who choose to vote at the
polls. In 2016, voters in Arizona reported waiting in line from
1 to 5 hours to vote; in New York, voters reported that
stations ran out of ballots and did not have staff during all
of the hours scheduled for voting.
(10) Voting by mail is preferable to many voters as an
alternative to going to the polls. In 2020, 43.2 percent of
ballots in the United States were cast by mail, up from 10
percent in 2000. Voting by mail has become increasingly popular
with voters who want to be certain that they are able to vote
no matter what comes up on Election Day, as it reduces the
physical obstacles and eases the time constraints connected
with the act of voting.
(11) Despite attempts to claim that voting by mail is
susceptible to fraud, it is not. Strategies such as the
tracking systems for ballots and Postal Service cooperation in
preventing ballots from being delivered to names not recognized
as receiving mail at an address nearly eliminate the potential
for fraud in vote by mail elections. Evidence of undue
influence or voter coercion after vote-by-mail implementation
in Oregon has been nonexistent to minimal.
(12) Many of the reasons which voters in many States are
required to provide in order to vote by mail require the
revelation of personal information about health, travel plans,
or religious activities, which violate voters' privacy while
doing nothing to prevent voter fraud.
(13) State laws which require voters to obtain a notary
signature to vote by mail only add cost and inconvenience to
voters without increasing security.
(14) Many voters choose to cast ballots early when they
have the option (over 50 percent in Arizona, Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Montana,
Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas,
Utah, and Washington). Approximately 70 percent of voters in
the 2020 election cast their ballot before Election Day. In
Oregon, 7 years after vote-by-mail election implementation,
over 80 percent of voters favored the vote-by-mail system.
(15) Vote-by-mail typically increases turnout in all
elections, but can be particularly effective in increasing
voter participation in special elections and primary elections.
Oregon, Washington, and Colorado, 3 of the 5 States with
entirely vote by mail systems, continue to have consistently
high voter turnout rates. In 2020, the Presidential election
turnout was about 7 percentage points higher than in 2016, and
turnout rates increased in every State compared with 2016. In
the 10 States where it rose the most, 7 conducted their vote
entirely or mostly by mail, with 6 of those States having
recently adopted all-mail voting, either permanently (Utah and
Hawaii) or for the 2020 elections only.
(16) A crucial component of a modern voting system is
making it easy, affordable, and accessible to register to vote.
Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia have enacted
automatic voter registration policies, with Oregon and
California becoming the first to automatically register their
citizens to vote when they apply for a driver's license.
Automatic, permanent voter registration has the potential to
increase participation, protect election integrity, and reduce
registration costs.

of 2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) the 12-percent Federal retail excise tax on certain new
heavy trucks, tractors, and trailers, coupled with new
regulatory mandates, significantly increases the cost of new
heavy-duty trucks, tractors, and trailers and discourages the
replacement of older, less environmentally clean and less fuel
economical vehicles;
(2) this 12-percent Federal retail excise tax is the
highest percentage rate of any Federal ad valorem excise tax;
(3) the Federal excise tax was first levied by Congress in
1917 to help finance America's involvement in World War I;
(4) the 12-percent Federal retail excise tax routinely adds
between $12,000 and $22,000 to the cost of a new heavy truck,
tractor, or trailer;
(5) nearly half of the Class 8 trucks on the road are over
10 years old and lack a decade of environmental and safety
technological advancements;
(6) from 2007 to 2020, new trucks have reduced carbon
dioxide emissions by 202,000,000 tons, nitrogen oxide emissions
by 27,000,000 tons, and saved 20,000,000,000 gallons of diesel
and 472,000,000 barrels of crude oil;
(7) an owner of a single Class 8 truck powered by the
latest clean diesel engine can expect to save about 2,200
gallons of fuel each year compared to previous generations of
technology;
(8) since the late 1990s, cleaner fuel and advanced engines
have combined to reduce nitrogen oxide (NO<INF>x</INF>)
emissions and particulate matter (PM) emissions by 98 percent;
(9) the Federal excise tax disproportionately impacts
electric and alternative-fueled trucks, which currently have a
higher up front cost, at a time when adoption of these
technologies is needed to accelerate the transition to zero
emission vehicles and the reduction of carbon pollution from
transportation;
(10) in 2020, there were approximately 1,300,000 United
States manufacturing, supplier, dealership, and heavy-duty
trucking and trailer related jobs;
(11) since the Federal retail excise tax on certain new
heavy trucks, tractors, and trailers is based on annual sales,
receipts from the tax deposited in the Highway Trust Fund can
vary greatly;
(12) Congress should consider a more reliable and
consistent revenue mechanism to fund the Highway Trust Fund;
(13) Congress should advance the deployment of the most
modern, clean, and safe trucks through eliminating the Federal
excise tax on trucks; and
(14) repealing the Federal excise tax would result in the
replacement of older internal combustion engine trucks with new
heavy duty trucks that employ the latest safety and
environmental technologies.
SEC. 3. REPEAL OF EXCISE TAX ON HEAVY TRUCKS AND TRAILERS.
(a) In General.--Chapter 31 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is

1st Session
H. R. 1441
To require the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement to
further develop, finalize, and implement updated regulations for
offshore oil and gas pipelines to address long-standing limitations
regarding its ability to ensure active pipeline integrity and address
safety and environmental risks associated with decommissioning, and for
other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 8, 2023
Ms. Brownley introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Natural Resources
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement to
further develop, finalize, and implement updated regulations for
offshore oil and gas pipelines to address long-standing limitations
regarding its ability to ensure active pipeline integrity and address
safety and environmental risks associated with decommissioning, and for
other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Offshore Pipeline Safety Act''.
SEC. 2. FINALIZATION OF REGULATIONS RELATED TO OFFSHORE PIPELINES.
Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act,
the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of the
Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, shall issue final
regulations relating to Oil and Gas and Sulphur Operations in the Outer
Continental Shelf--Pipelines and Pipeline Rights-of-Way (72 Fed. Reg.
56,442 (Oct. 3, 2007)). Such regulations shall require owners of oil
and gas pipelines subject to such regulations--
(1) to provide for internal and external inspections of
pipelines by a third-party no less frequently than every two
years, unless the Director of the Bureau determines that any
such inspection is not required; and
(2) to equip such pipelines with a leak detection system or
device that provides continuous volumetric comparison between
the pipeline's product input and output and includes alarms and
adequate sensitivity to detect variations between input and
discharge volumes to enable any leaks from the pipeline to be
detected as quickly as possible.
SEC. 3. ADDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS OF DECOMMISSIONING PIPELINES.
(a) Study on Environmental Risks of Decommissioning Pipelines
Versus Removing Pipelines.--
(1) Study.--The Directors of the Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement and the Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management shall jointly conduct a study to evaluate the
environmental benefits and risks associated with
decommissioning oil and gas pipelines in place on the sea floor
compared to removing such pipelines. Such study shall include--
(A) an evaluation of pipelines that have been
decommissioned in place, identifying decommissioned
pipelines at high-risk of causing safety and
environmental harm, causing obstructions, or otherwise
unduly interfering with present or future uses of the
outer continental shelf; and
(B) recommendations on the best uses of the
revenues generated by the annual pipelines fees as
authorized by subsection (d).
(2) Report.--Not later than 18 months after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Directors shall transmit a report to
the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of
Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources of the Senate, detailing the findings and
determinations of the study, including any recommendations for
legislation.
(b) Required Considerations in Reviewing Decommissioning
Applications.--In determining whether to permit an owner to
decommission an oil or gas pipeline, the Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement, shall fully consider whether the offshore
oil and gas pipeline constitutes a hazard to navigation and commercial
and recreational fishing operations, unduly interferes with other uses
of the outer continental shelf, or has adverse environmental effects.
(c) Ongoing Monitoring of Decommissioned Pipelines.--The Bureau of
Safety and Environmental Enforcement shall continually monitor the
condition and location of all oil and gas pipelines that have been
decommissioned and remain in place, and shall maintain all relevant
records of such monitoring.
(d) Annual Pipeline Owners Fee.--Not later than 180 after the date
of enactment of this Act, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental
Enforcement shall issue regulations to assess an annual fee on owners
of offshore oil and gas pipelines for the purpose of providing the
Bureau with funds to decommission or remove such pipelines in the event
an owner files for bankruptcy. Such fee shall be no less than--
(1) $10,000 per mile for such pipelines in water with a
depth of 500 feet or greater; and
(2) $1,000 per mile for pipelines in water depth of under
500 feet.
SEC. 4. REQUIREMENT RELATING TO EXPOSED SEGMENTS OF OFFSHORE PIPELINES.
If the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement identifies
any exposed segment of any active or decommissioned pipeline, the
Bureau shall either remove the pipeline from the ocean or ensure it is
properly decommissioned and does not pose a threat. If a segment of any
active pipeline is exposed or shifts, the Bureau shall re-secure such
segment to the sea floor.
SEC. 5. COMPLETION OF STUDY RELATING TO ENVIRONMENT RISKS OF CHEMICAL
PRODUCTS USED IN OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS.
(a) Completion of Study.--The Bureau of Safety and Environmental
Enforcement shall complete a study addressing the risks to the
environment of chemical products used in oil and gas operations
including umbilical lines. In conducting the study, the Bureau shall
seek input from chemical suppliers and the oil and gas industry.
(b) Report.--Not later than two years after the date of enactment
of this Act, the Bureau shall transmit a report of the findings and
determinations in such study to Congress, including any recommendations
for legislation.
SEC. 6. EFFECTIVE DATE.
No provision of this Act shall take effect without considering
whether such action will result in a reduction of reef fish habitat.

than a State is authorized to receive under such section.
``(4) Allotment.--From the total amount reserved for a
fiscal year under subsection (c)(4)(B), the Secretary shall
allot to the Indian tribes or tribal organizations with an

share of the total tribal child population among all such
tribes and tribal organizations with an application so
approved.
``(5) Data and evaluation.--The Secretary shall consult
with tribes and tribal organizations to determine the tribally

of tribal youth served.
``(6) Matching requirement.--In determining the amounts

of such foster youth who obtain a driver's license.''.

in the penalty, including the impact of such actions on the
charging party or on other persons seeking to exercise rights
guaranteed by this Act;
``(2) the size of the employer;
``(3) the history of previous unfair labor practices or
other actions by the employer resulting in a penalty; and

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

Management Form 3400-012.
(2) Qualified application.--The term ``qualified
application'' means any application pending under the lease by
application program administered by the Bureau of Land
Management pursuant to the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 181
et seq.) and subpart 3425 of title 43, Code of Federal
Regulations (as in effect on the date of the enactment of this
Act), for which the environmental review process under the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.) has commenced.
(b) Mandatory Leasing and Other Required Approvals.--As soon as
practicable after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary

``(A) In general.--If the Secretary determines that
a manufacturer has failed to report, or made a

each failure to report or each such misrepresentation
or omission.
``(B) Application.--The provisions of section 1128A
(other than subsections (a) and (b)) shall apply to a
civil money penalty under this paragraph in the same
manner as they apply to a civil money penalty or

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Crypto-Asset Environmental
Transparency Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.
In this Act:
(1) Administrator.--The term ``Administrator'' means the
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
(2) Air pollutant.--The term ``air pollutant'' has the
meaning given the term in section 302 of the Clean Air Act (42
U.S.C. 7602).
(3) Block.--The term ``block'' means a group of data stored
as a single record in a blockchain.
(4) Blockchain.--The term ``blockchain'' means a
distributed ledger technology in which--

means the process of performing computations to add a valid
block of data to the blockchain, typically in exchange for a
reward or fee.
(8) Power load.--The term ``power load'' means the amount
of electrical power, in megawatts, that can be consumed by a
qualifying crypto-asset mining operation.
(9) Qualifying crypto-asset mining operation.--The term
``qualifying crypto-asset mining operation'' means--
(A) an individual crypto-asset mining facility that
has a power load that is greater than or equal to 5
megawatts; or
(B) multiple crypto-asset mining facilities that--
(i) are owned by the same company; and
(ii)(I) each have a power load that is less
than 5 megawatts; but
(II) have a cumulative power load that is
greater than or equal to 5 megawatts.
(10) Scope 1 emissions.--The term ``scope 1 emissions''
means greenhouse gas emissions directly from sources that are
operated, controlled, or owned by an individual or entity
performing a qualifying crypto-asset mining operation.
(11) Scope 2 emissions.--The term ``scope 2 emissions''
means indirect greenhouse gas emissions associated with the
purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling by an
individual or entity performing a qualifying crypto-asset
mining operation.
(12) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary
of Energy.
SEC. 3. COMPLIANCE WITH THE CLEAN AIR ACT.
(a) Rulemaking Required.--
(1) Proposed regulation.--Not later than 1 year after the
date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall,
pursuant to section 114(a) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.
7414(a)), issue a notice of proposed rulemaking to revise part
98 of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on
the date of enactment of this Act)--
(A) to require qualifying crypto-asset mining
operations to report as covered facilities under
subpart A of that part;
(B) to add a new subpart to that part that includes
qualifying crypto-asset mining operations as a source
category;
(C) to include in the new subpart created under
subparagraph (B) appropriate calculation methodologies,
reporting guidelines, and monitoring operations of,
with respect to qualifying crypto-asset mining
operations, scope 1 emissions and scope 2 emissions;
and
(D) to designate the qualifying crypto-asset mining
operations source category established pursuant to
subparagraph (B) as a source category that is subject
to greenhouse gas reporting requirements and related
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements
under section 98.2 of that title, regardless of whether
a qualifying crypto-asset mining operation emits at
least 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent.
(2) Final rule.--Not later than 180 days after the date on
which the public comment period on the proposed rule under
paragraph (1) closes, the Administrator shall issue a final
rule revising part 98 of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations.
(b) Assessment.--Not later than 1 year after the date on which the
Administrator finalizes the rule required under subsection (a), the
Administrator shall, pursuant to section 114(a) of the Clean Air Act
(42 U.S.C. 7414(a)), issue requests for information for the purpose of
conducting an assessment of, with respect to qualifying crypto-asset
mining operations, the permit programs under the Clean Air Act (42
U.S.C. 7401 et seq.), which shall include identifying the extent to
which any qualifying crypto-asset mining operations are improperly
operating without a valid and current permit under that Act.
(c) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized to be
appropriated to the Administrator to carry out this section $5,000,000
for fiscal year 2023, to remain available until expended.
(d) Savings Provision.--Nothing in this section limits the ability
of the Administrator to require the reporting of emissions of any type
in another source category.
SEC. 4. IMPACT STUDY.
(a) In General.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment
of this Act, the Administrator, in consultation with the Secretary, the
Administrator of the Energy Information Administration, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, and the head of any other Federal agency
the Administrator or the Secretary determines appropriate, shall
conduct a study on the environmental impacts of crypto-asset mining in
the United States.
(b) Study Requirements.--The study required under subsection (a)
shall include--
(1) the number and location of any existing or planned
qualifying crypto-asset mining operation;
(2) the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and other air
pollutants that are--
(A) released by an onsite energy source; and

could be implemented by State and local regulators to reduce
the energy consumption and dependence on fossil fuel energy
sources of crypto-asset mining operations;
(15) a geospatial assessment of the extent to which crypto-
asset mining operations are located within environmental
justice communities, as defined by the Administrator or within
the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool of the Council
on Environmental Quality; and
(16) an identification of, and recommendations for, best
practices for data types, data sources, and methodologies for
accurately measuring, modeling, and tracking the environmental
impacts of crypto-asset mining operations in the United States

H. R. 1462
To require enforcement against misbranded milk alternatives.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 8, 2023
Mr. Joyce of Pennsylvania (for himself, Ms. Kuster, Mr. Simpson, Mr.
Courtney, Mr. Van Orden, Ms. Craig, Mr. Meuser, Mr. Kildee, Mr.
Newhouse, Mr. Cartwright, Mr. Steil, Ms. Stefanik, Mr. Grothman, Mr.
Gallagher, Mr. Fitzgerald, Mr. Valadao, Mr. Thompson of Pennsylvania,
Mr. Langworthy, Mr. Ryan, and Mrs. Fischbach) introduced the following
bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require enforcement against misbranded milk alternatives.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Defending Against Imitations and
Replacements of Yogurt, Milk, and Cheese To Promote Regular Intake of
Dairy Everyday Act'' or the ``DAIRY PRIDE Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds as follows:
(1) Dairy products are an important part of a healthy diet
for both children and adults, according to the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025 (referred to in this
section as the ``Dietary Guidelines'') published by the
Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and
Human Services. The Dietary Guidelines state that most
Americans are not meeting recommended intake for the dairy food
group.
(2) Consumption of dairy foods provides numerous health
benefits, including lowering the risk of diabetes, metabolic
syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.
(3) The Dietary Guidelines state that dairy foods are
sources of critical nutrients for human health, including
vitamin D, calcium, and potassium, all of which are under
consumed by people of the United States. Even though average
consumption falls short of amounts recommended by the Food
Patterns of the Department of Agriculture, on average across
the calorie levels dairy foods still contribute about 68
percent of calcium, 76 percent of vitamin D, and 31 percent of
magnesium.
(4) Beginning at age 9 and persisting throughout every
subsequent life-stage, individuals in the United States on
average fail to meet the recommended amount of dairy intake for
their age group, according to the Dietary Guidelines. The
Dietary Guidelines note the gap between recommended and current
intake of dairy widens throughout life stages and find the age-
related decreasing intake of dairy for youth ages 2 through 18
to be ``notable and concerning''. Overall, approximately 90
percent of the entire population of the United States does not
meet the daily dairy intake recommendation.
(5) The Dietary Guidelines state that the nutrient
composition of dairy foods highlights the importance of
adequate consumption, finding this to be especially relevant
for the intake of calcium and vitamin D throughout an
individual's life. The Dietary Guidelines note that calcium and
vitamin D are important at any age, that adolescents have an
increased need for these nutrients to support accrual of bone
mass, and that adults should give particular attention to
consuming adequate amounts of foods with these nutrients to
promote optimal bone health and prevent the onset of
osteoporosis. Yet, close to 30 percent of men and 60 percent of
women older than age 19 do not consume enough calcium, and more
than 90 percent do not consume enough vitamin D. According to
the Dietary Guidelines, dietary patterns that do not meet
recommended consumption amounts for food groups and subgroups
which include sources of calcium and vitamin D, such as dairy
foods, contribute to low intake of these nutrients.
(6) The Dietary Guidelines state that many products sold as
``milks'' but made from plants (e.g., almond, rice, coconut,
oat, and hemp ``milks'') do not have an overall nutritional
content similar to real milk and that most have significantly
less protein than real milk and are not always fortified with
calcium and vitamin D. The amount of calcium per calorie is
lower for most plant-based alternative milk products. To obtain
the amount of calcium contained in one cup of nonfat fluid milk
from a plant-based milk alternative, the portion size and
calorie intake must be greater.
(7) Similarly, imitation dairy products, such as plant-
based products derived from rice, nuts, hemp, coconut, algae,
and other foods that imitate milk, yogurt, and cheese, often do
not provide the same nutrition content as real cheese and
yogurt derived from dairy cows.
(8) Plant-based products labeled as milk are misleading to
consumers.
(9) The Food and Drug Administration has regulations that
define milk and cream as the ``lacteal secretion, practically
free from colostrum, obtained by the complete milking of one or
more healthy cows'' (section 131.110 of title 21, Code of
Federal Regulations). This definition further applies to milk
used to create other dairy products, including yogurt and
cheese, as specified in sections 131 and 133 of title 21, Code
of Federal Regulations.
(10) Given the proliferation of plant-based products in the
marketplace that are mislabeled as milk despite the standard of
identity defined for this substance, enforcement by the Food
and Drug Administration against these practices should be
improved to avoid misleading consumers.
SEC. 3. PURPOSE.
No food may be introduced or delivered for introduction into
interstate commerce using a market name for a dairy product if the food
does not meet the criterion set forth for dairy products under
paragraph (z)(2) of section 403 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (21 U.S.C. 343) (as added by section 4(a)).
SEC. 4. ENFORCEMENT OF DEFINITION.
(a) In General.--Section 403 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 343) is amended by adding at the end the
following:
``(z)(1) If it uses a market name for a dairy product described in
subparagraph (3) and the food does not meet the criterion for being a
dairy product, as described in subparagraph (2).
``(2) For purposes of this paragraph, a food is a dairy product
only if the food is, contains as a primary ingredient, or is derived
from, the lacteal secretion, practically free from colostrum, obtained
by the complete milking of one or more hooved mammals.
``(3) A market name for a dairy product described in this
subparagraph means the dairy product terms described in parts 131 and
133 of subchapter B of chapter I of title 21, Code of Federal
Regulations, and sections 135.110, 135.115, and 135.140 of title 21,
Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor regulations), or any
other term for which the Secretary has promulgated a standard of
identity with respect to a food that is formulated with a dairy product
(as described in subparagraph (2)) as the primary ingredient.''.
(b) Guidance.--
(1) New guidance.--The Secretary of Health and Human
Services, acting through the Commissioner of Food and Drugs,

delegate determines appropriate.
(4) On-line portal.--The Secretary of the Treasury (or the

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Plant Biostimulant Act''.
SEC. 2. EXCLUSION FROM REGULATION UNDER FIFRA.
(a) In General.--The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.) is amended by inserting after
section 3 (7 U.S.C. 136a) the following:
``SEC. 3A. EXCLUSION OF PLANT BIOSTIMULANTS.
``A plant biostimulant shall not be subject to regulation under
this Act.''.
(b) Definitions.--Section 2 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. 136) is amended--
(1) in subsection (v)--
(A) by striking ``vitamin-hormone horticultural
product'' and inserting ``vitamin hormone products'';
and
(B) by adding at the end the following: ``Such term
shall not include a plant biostimulant.''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following:
``(pp) Plant Biostimulant.--The term `plant biostimulant' means a
substance, microorganism, or mixture thereof, that, when applied to
seeds, plants, the rhizosphere, soil, or other growth media, act to
support a plant's natural processes independently of the biostimulant's
nutrient content, thereby improving nutrient availability, uptake or
use efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, and consequent growth,
development, quality, or yield.
``(qq) Nutritional Chemical.--The term `nutritional chemical'--
``(1) means a compound or mixture that interacts with plant
nutrients in a manner which improves nutrient availability or
aids the plant in acquiring or utilizing plant nutrients; and
``(2) includes some plant biostimulants.
``(rr) Vitamin Hormone Product.--The term `vitamin hormone product'
means a product consisting of a mixture of plant hormones, plant
nutrients, inoculants, or soil amendments.''.
(c) Regulations.--Not later than 120 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Administrator of Environmental Protection
Agency shall revise the regulations under subchapter E of chapter I of
title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on the date of the
enactment of this Act) to carry out the amendments made by subsections
(a) and (b).
SEC. 3. SOIL HEALTH STUDY.
(a) Study.--The Secretary of Agriculture shall conduct a study to
assess the types of, and practices using, plant biostimulants (as
defined in section 2 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. 136)) that best achieve the following:
(1) Increasing organic matter content.
(2) Reducing atmospheric volatilization.
(3) Promotion of nutrient management practices.
(4) Limiting or eliminating runoff or leaching of soil or
nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen into groundwater or
other water sources.
(5) Restoring beneficial bioactivity or healthy nutrients
to the soil.
(6) Aiding in carbon sequestration, nutrient use
efficiency, and other climate-related benefits.
(7) Supporting innovative approaches to improving
agricultural sustainability, including the adoption of
performance-based outcome standards and criteria.
(b) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date on which funds
are first made available for the study under subsection (a), the
Secretary shall make publicly available and submit to the Committee on
Agriculture of the House of Representatives and the Committee on
Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate a report that
describes the results of the study.

Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To modernize the business of selling firearms.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Federal Firearm Licensee Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) A growing body of evidence demonstrates that gun
dealers' sales practices affect the probability of guns getting
to criminals and that policies designed to hold gun sellers
accountable can curtail the diversion of guns to criminals.
(2) Federal laws governing firearm dealers have not been
updated in over 30 years, contain safeguards that protect
dealers who engage in illegal practices from adverse
enforcement action, frustrate law enforcement efforts to curb
gun trafficking and violence and are, thus, inadequate to meet
the realities of the twenty-first century.
(3) The Tiahrt Amendments, for one, severely limit the
authority of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives (ATF) to disclose crime gun trace data to the
public, prevent the collection of valuable information, and the
establishment of effective policies to prevent illegal guns
from being used in crimes and impede enforcement of the gun
laws by requiring most background check records to be destroyed
within 24 hours, and by barring the Government from requiring
annual inventory audits by owners of gun shops. Repealing the
Tiahrt Amendments would support law enforcement efforts and
give the public vital information needed to craft the most
effective policies against illegal guns.
(4) Additionally, Federal law imposes no requirements that
dealers physically secure their highly valuable and lethal
inventory. The number of gun thefts from licensed gun dealers
has increased more than the number from any other source.
Between 2013 and 2017, the number of firearms stolen in gun-
dealer burglaries more than doubled and the number of firearms
stolen in gun-dealer robberies tripled.
SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.
Section 921(a) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by
adding at the end the following:
``(38) The term `facilitator' means any person engaged in the
business of hosting a commercial marketplace in which offers for
firearm sales, purchases, or other transfers are allowed to be made,
except that such a person shall not be considered to be a facilitator
with respect to any transaction that is made through the use of a
website or mobile application owned or operated by the person if the
transaction violates the terms of service of the website or mobile
application and the person has made a good faith effort to enforce the
terms of service by, at a minimum, auditing firearms transactions on a
quarterly basis to ensure compliance with this chapter.
``(39) The term `occasional' means, with respect to transactions,
fewer than 5 transactions in a 12-month period.
``(40) The term `personal collection' includes any firearm obtained
only for the personal use of an individual and not for the purpose of
selling or trading, except that a firearm obtained through inheritance
shall not be considered part of a personal collection until the firearm
has been possessed for 1 year.
``(41) The term `business inventory firearm' means, with respect to
a person, a firearm required by law to be recorded in the acquisition
and disposition logs of any firearms business of the person.
``(42)(A) The term `frame' means the part of a handgun, or variants
thereof, that provides housing or a structure for the primary energized
component designed to hold back the hammer, striker, bolt, or similar
component prior to initiation of the firing sequence (such as a sear or
the equivalent), even if pins or other attachments are required to
connect such component to the housing or structure.
``(B) The term `receiver' means the part of a rifle, shotgun, or
projectile weapon other than a handgun, or variants thereof, that
provides housing or a structure for the primary component designed to
block or seal the breech prior to initiation of the firing sequence
(such as a bolt, breechblock, or the equivalent), even if pins or other
attachments are required to connect such component to the housing or
structure.
``(C) For purposes of this paragraph, the terms `variant' and
`variants thereof' mean a weapon utilizing a similar frame or receiver
design irrespective of new or different model designations or
configurations, characteristics, features, components, accessories, or
attachments. For example, an AK-type firearm with a short stock and a
pistol grip is a pistol variant of an AK-type rifle, an AR-type firearm
with a short stock and a pistol grip is a pistol variant of an AR-type
rifle, and a revolving cylinder shotgun is a shotgun variant of a
revolver.''.

1st Session
H. R. 148
To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit the importation or
transportation of child sex dolls, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 9, 2023
Mr. Duncan (for himself, Mr. Calvert, Mr. Carter of Georgia, Mr. Gosar,
Mr. Posey, and Mr. Rutherford) introduced the following bill; which was
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit the importation or
transportation of child sex dolls, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Jurists United to Stop Trafficking
Imitation Child Exploitation Act of 2023'' or the ``JUSTICE Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) There is a correlation between possession of the
obscene dolls, and robots, and possession of and participation
in child pornography.
(2) The physical features, and potentially the
``personalities'' of the robots are customizable or morphable
and can resemble actual children.
(3) Some owners and makers of the robots have made their
children interact with the robots as if the robots are members
of the family.
(4) The robots can have settings that simulate rape.
(5) The dolls and robots not only lead to rape, but they
make rape easier by teaching the rapist about how to overcome
resistance and subdue the victim.
(6) For users and children exposed to their use, the dolls
and robots normalize submissiveness and normalize sex between
adults and minors.
(7) As the Supreme Court has recognized, obscene material
is often used as part of a method of seducing child victims.
(8) The dolls and robots are intrinsically related to abuse
of minors, and they cause the exploitation, objectification,
abuse, and rape of minors.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION OF IMPORTATION OR TRANSPORTATION OF CHILD SEX
DOLLS.
Section 1462 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in paragraph (a), by striking ``or'' at the end;
(2) in paragraph (b), by striking ``or'' at the end;
(3) by inserting after paragraph (c) the following:
``(d) any child sex doll; or''; and
(4) by adding at the end the following:
``In this section, the term `child sex doll' means an anatomically
correct doll, mannequin, or robot, with the features of, or with
features that resemble those of, a minor, intended for use in sexual
acts.''.

transmitting tower.
(4) There are limited options to obtain NOAA Weather Radio
broadcasts via the Internet or mobile device application, which
are provided by volunteer mechanisms obtaining the audio feed
in an ad hoc manner.
(5) NOAA Weather Radio should provide equal access and
availability to unimpeded broadcasts of weather and non-weather
hazards to every person located within the United States, its
territories, and Tribal lands.

TITLE I--REQUIRING AND EXPANDING ACCESS TO HCBS COVERAGE UNDER MEDICAID
SEC. 101. PURPOSE.
It is the purpose of this title to require coverage of home and
community-based services (in this section referred to as ``HCBS'')
under a State plan (or waiver of such plan) under title XIX of the
Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.) for the following reasons:
(1) To eliminate waiting lists for HCBS, which delay access
to necessary services and civil rights for people with
disabilities and older adults.
(2) To build on decades of progress in serving people with
disabilities and older adults via HCBS.
(3) To fulfill the purposes of the Medicaid program to
provide medical assistance for those whose income and resources
are insufficient to meet the costs of necessary medical
services, and to provide rehabilitation, long-term services and
supports, and other services to help such families and
individuals attain or retain capability for independence or
self-care.
(4) To ensure that people with all kinds of disabilities
and with multiple disabilities, including intellectual
disability, cognitive disabilities, developmental disabilities,
behavioral health disabilities, physical disabilities, and
substance use disorders, and older adults, receive the services
they need to live in their communities.
(5) To streamline access to HCBS by eliminating the need
for States to repeatedly apply for waivers.
(6) To continue to increase the capacity of community
services to ensure people with disabilities and older adults
have safe and meaningful options in the community and are not
at risk of unnecessary institutionalization.
(7) To act on the decades of research and practice that
show everyone, including people with the most severe
disabilities, can live in the community with the right services
and supports.
(8) To support over 53,000,000 unpaid family caregivers who
are often providing complex services and supports to older
adults and people with disabilities because of a lack of
affordable services, workforce shortages, and other
inefficiencies.
(9) To improve direct care quality and address the decades
long workforce barriers, which have been exacerbated by the
COVID-19 pandemic, for nearly 2,600,000 direct care
professionals providing support to people with disabilities and
older adults in their homes and communities.
(10) To eliminate the race, gender, sexual orientation, and
gender identity disparities that exist in accessing information
and HCBS and to prevent the unnecessary impoverishment and
institutionalization of black and brown individuals with
disabilities and older adults.

TITLE II--RECOGNIZING THE ROLE OF DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS
SEC. 201. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Direct support professionals play a critical role in
the care provided to children and adults individuals with
intellectual and developmental disabilities.
(2) Providers of home and community-based services are
experiencing difficulty hiring and retaining direct support
professionals, with a national turnover rate of 45 percent as
identified in a 2016 study by the National Core Indicators.
(3) High turnover rates can lead to instability for
individuals receiving services, and this may result in
individuals not receiving enough personalized care to help them
reach their goals for independent living.
(4) A discrete occupational category for direct support
professionals will help States and the Federal Government--
(A) better interpret the shortage in the labor
market of direct support professionals; and
(B) collect data on the high turnover rate of
direct support professionals.
(5) The Standard Occupational Classification system is
designed and maintained solely for statistical purposes, and is
used by Federal statistical agencies to classify workers and
jobs into occupational categories for the purpose of
collecting, calculating, analyzing, or disseminating data.
(6) Occupations in the Standard Occupational Classification
system are classified based on work performed and, in some
cases, on the skills, education, or training needed to perform
the work.
(7) Establishing a discrete occupational category for
direct support professionals will--
(A) correct an inaccurate representation in the
Standard Occupational Classification system;
(B) recognize these professionals for the critical
and often times overlooked work that they perform for
the disabled community, which work is different than
the work of a home health aide or a personal care aide;
and
(C) better align the Standard Occupational
Classification system with related classification
systems.

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide special rules for
casualty losses incurred by reason of Hurricane Ian, Hurricane Nicole,
and Hurricane Fiona.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Hurricane Tax Relief Act''.
SEC. 2. TAX RELIEF RELATED TO HURRICANE IAN, HURRICANE NICOLE, AND
HURRICANE FIONA.
(a) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
(1) Hurricane ian disaster area.--The term ``Hurricane Ian
disaster area'' means an area with respect to which a major
disaster has been declared by the President before the date of
the enactment of this section under section 401 of the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act by
reason of Hurricane Ian.
(2) Hurricane nicole disaster area.--The term ``Hurricane
Nicole disaster area'' means an area with respect to which a
major disaster has been declared by the President before the
date of the enactment of this section under section 401 of the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
by reason of Hurricane Nicole.
(3) Hurricane fiona disaster area.--The term ``Hurricane
Fiona disaster area'' means an area with respect to which a
major disaster has been declared by the President before the
date of the enactment of this section under section 401 of the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
by reason of Hurricane Fiona.
(b) Special Rules for Qualified Disaster-Related Personal Casualty
Losses.--
(1) In general.--If an individual has a net disaster loss
for any taxable year--
(A) the amount determined under section
165(h)(2)(A)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
shall be equal to the sum of--
(i) such net disaster loss, and
(ii) so much of the excess referred to in
the matter preceding clause (i) of section
165(h)(2)(A) of such Code (reduced by the
amount in clause (i) of this subparagraph) as
exceeds 10 percent of the adjusted gross income
of the individual,
(B) in the case of qualified disaster-related
personal casualty losses, section 165(h)(1) of such
Code shall be applied to by substituting ``$500'' for
``$500 ($100 for taxable years beginning after December
31, 2009)'',
(C) the standard deduction determined under section
63(c) of such Code shall be increased by the net
disaster loss, and
(D) section 56(b)(1)(E) of such Code shall not
apply to so much of the standard deduction as is
attributable to the increase under subparagraph (C) of
this paragraph.
(2) Net disaster loss.--For purposes of this subsection,
the term ``net disaster loss'' means the excess of qualified
disaster-related personal casualty losses over personal
casualty gains (as defined in section 165(h)(3)(A) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986).
(3) Qualified disaster-related personal casualty losses.--
For purposes of this subsection, the term ``qualified disaster-
related personal casualty losses'' means losses described in
section 165(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986--
(A) which arise in the Hurricane Ian disaster area
on or after September 23, 2022, and which are
attributable to Hurricane Ian,
(B) which arise in the Hurricane Nicole disaster
area on or after November 7, 2022, and which are
attributable to Hurricane Nicole, or
(C) which arise in the Hurricane Fiona disaster
area on or after September 17, 2022, and which are
attributable to Hurricane Fiona.
(c) Application to Puerto Rico.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall pay to
Puerto Rico amounts estimated by the Secretary of the Treasury
as being equal to the aggregate benefits that would have been
provided to residents of Puerto Rico by reason of the
provisions of this section if a mirror code tax system had been
in effect in Puerto Rico. The preceding sentence shall not
apply with respect to Puerto Rico unless Puerto Rico has a
plan, which has been approved by the Secretary of the Treasury,
under which Puerto Rico will promptly distribute such payments
to its residents.
(2) Definition and special rules.--
(A) Mirror code tax system.--For purposes of this
subsection, the term ``mirror code tax system'' means,
with respect to any possession of the United States,
the income tax system of such possession if the income
tax liability of the residents of such possession under
such system is determined by reference to the income
tax laws of the United States as if such possession
were the United States.
(B) Treatment of payments.--For purposes of section
1324 of title 31, United States Code, the payments
under this subsection shall be treated in the same
manner as a refund due from a credit provision referred
to in subsection (b)(2) of such section.
(C) Coordination with united states income taxes.--
In the case of any person with respect to whom a tax
benefit is taken into account with respect to the taxes
imposed by any possession of the United States by
reason of this section, the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 shall be applied with respect to such person
without regard to the provisions of this section which
provide such benefit.

To require small, medium, and large hub airports to certify that

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 9, 2023
Mr. Garcia of Illinois (for himself, Ms. Norton, Ms. Barragan, Mr.
Bowman, Mr. Boyle of Pennsylvania, Mr. Casten, Ms. Dean of
Pennsylvania, Mr. Garamendi, Ms. Scanlon, Ms. Jayapal, Mr. Johnson of

Mr. Torres of New York, Ms. Velazquez, Mrs. Watson Coleman, Ms. Titus,
Mr. Nadler, Mr. DeSaulnier, Mr. Casar, Ms. Kaptur, Mr. Norcross, Ms.
Craig, and Mr. Gomez) introduced the following bill; which was referred
to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require small, medium, and large hub airports to certify that
airport service workers are paid the prevailing wage and provided
fringe benefits, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Good Jobs for Good Airports Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Safe and effective airport operations are essential to
national commerce and the general welfare.
(2) A well-trained, stable workforce at our Nation's
airports is critical to ensuring public safety and security, as
well as the health and safety of the public and protection from
infectious diseases.
(3) The Federal Government has invested billions of dollars
in creating and maintaining our Nation's aviation
infrastructure, reflecting the national interest in maintaining
airports across the country.
(4) Airport services are most effective when the workforce
providing those services is able to earn a living wage and able
to secure adequate health benefit coverage. In fact, meeting
the growing challenges of operating airports securely and
efficiently requires the recruitment and retention of excellent
staff in all of the classifications of employees who work in
airport services and operations.
(5) Effective management of airports and effective airport
security requires that workforce turnover be reduced and that
the workforce be highly trained and highly motivated.
(6) In connection with setting workplace standards for
those engaged in airport services, there is a need to establish
an orderly system that reconciles competing interests without
undue disruption.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to provide a mechanism for ensuring minimum workplace
standards for individuals who work in airports whose operators
are grantees of Federal assistance or derive revenue from fees
authorized by the Federal Government; and
(2) to serve the best interests of the people of the United
States by stabilizing the workplace conditions of the labor
pool that supports our Nation's airport operations.
SEC. 3. AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 49 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE TO ENSURE
MINIMUM WAGE AND BENEFITS FOR COVERED SERVICE WORKERS.

United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:

1st Session
H. R. 1504
To amend the Apex Project, Nevada Land Transfer and Authorization Act
of 1989 to include the City of North Las Vegas and the Apex Industrial
Park Owners Association, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 9, 2023
Mr. Horsford (for himself, Mr. Amodei, Ms. Titus, and Mrs. Lee of
Nevada) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Natural Resources
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Apex Project, Nevada Land Transfer and Authorization Act
of 1989 to include the City of North Las Vegas and the Apex Industrial
Park Owners Association, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Apex Area Technical Corrections
Act''.
SEC. 2. APEX PROJECT, NEVADA LAND TRANSFER AND AUTHORIZATION ACT OF
1989.
The Apex Project, Nevada Land Transfer and Authorization Act of
1989 (Public Law 101-67; 103 Stat. 168) is amended--
(1) in section 2(a), by adding at the end the following:
``(9) Nevada's `boom and bust' economic timeline
demonstrates a need for economic diversity and stability in the
Las Vegas Valley. In the year 2000, Nevada was the fastest
growing State for 14 consecutive years and had increased its
population by 1,000,000 residents since 1980. During the
recession and mortgage crisis in 2009, Nevada was one of the
hardest hit States, with its population facing a 20 percent
increase in economic insecurity. Over the following decade, the
Las Vegas Valley rebuilt, and by 2020, Nevada led in growth
nationally. However, in 2021, the State experienced economic
hardship at higher rates due to the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on the travel and tourism industries.
``(10) The Apex Project has expanded to be one of the most
promising economic endeavors in Southern Nevada, with the
potential to create jobs, stimulate wages, and improve the
well-being of everyone in the region--especially the citizens
of North Las Vegas, the only predominantly minority population,
which has been hit particularly hard by recessions and the
COVID-19 pandemic.
``(11) The Apex Project has evolved since 1989, but the
partnership between Federal and private land owners remains
unwavering. The Bureau of Land Management and Apex stakeholders
have created important environmental protections and permitting
procedures that are appropriate to utilize in a streamlined
capacity as the Apex Project continues to take a new
direction.'';
(2) in section 2(b)--
(A) by redesignating paragraph (6) as paragraph
(8); and
(B) by inserting after paragraph (5) the following:
``(6) The term `Apex Industrial Park Owners Association'
has the meaning given such term by the charter document for the
entity entitled `Apex Industrial Park Owners Association',
formed on April 9, 2001, and any successor documents to such
charter document, on file with the Nevada Secretary of State.
``(7) The term `City of North Las Vegas' means North Las
Vegas, Nevada.'';
(3) in section 3(b)--
(A) by striking ``Clark County for the connection''
and inserting ``Clark County, the City of North Las
Vegas, and the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association,
individually or jointly as appropriate, for the
connection'';
(B) by striking ``Kerr-McGee Site'' and inserting
``Kerr-McGee Site and other lands conveyed in
accordance with this Act''; and
(C) by inserting ``(or any successor maps created
by the Secretary)'' after ``May 1989'';
(4) in section 4(c), by striking ``Pursuant'' and all that
follows through ``Clark County'' and inserting ``During such
time as the requirements of section 6 are met, and pursuant to
applicable law, the Secretary shall grant Clark County, the
City of North Las Vegas, and the Apex Industrial Owners
Association'';
(5) in section 4(e)(1), by striking the last sentence and
inserting ``The withdrawal made by this subsection shall
continue in perpetuity for all lands transferred in accordance
with this subsection.'';
(6) in section 4(e), by adding at the end the following:
``(3) In the case of the sale of mineral materials resulting from
grading, land balancing, or other activities on the surface of a parcel
within the Apex Site for which the United States retains and interest
in the minerals--
``(A) it shall be considered impracticable to obtain
competition for purposes of section 3602.31(a)(2) of title 43,
Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on the date of the
enactment of the Apex Area Technical Corrections Act); and
``(B) such sale shall be exempt from the quantity and term
limitations imposed on noncompetitive sales under subpart 3602
of such title (as in effect on the date of the enactment of the
Apex Area Technical Corrections Act.''; and
(7) in section 6, by adding at the end the following:
``(d) Compliance With Environmental Assessments.--Each transfer by
the United States of additional lands or interests in lands within the
Apex Site or rights-of-way issued pursuant to this Act shall be
conditioned upon compliance with applicable Federal land laws,
including the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal
Land Policy and Management Act of 1976.''.

To amend title 5, United States Code, to require disclosure of
conflicts of interest with respect to rulemaking, and for other
purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 9, 2023
Ms. Jayapal (for herself, Ms. Lee of California, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, Mr.
Takano, Mr. Cicilline, Mr. Garcia of Illinois, Mr. Johnson of Georgia,
Mr. Lieu, Ms. Norton, and Ms. Scanlon) introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition
to the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, for a period to be
subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration
of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee
concerned
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title 5, United States Code, to require disclosure of
conflicts of interest with respect to rulemaking, and for other
purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Stop Corporate Capture Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Congress is dependent on providing discretion to
executive officials and agencies (including independent
agencies) to implement its statutes. Congress provides
appropriate oversight of the use of this discretion.
(2) Regulatory legislation is often phrased in broad terms,
with an intelligible principle, to empower agencies to address
issues, such as those presented by technological, scientific,
or social developments that were not precisely foreseen when
the legislation was enacted; and to draw upon the agency's
specialized knowledge, experience, and responsibility for
implementing the statute.
(3) Such broad authorizing language is often necessary to
empower the administering agency to take effective action when
new or unforeseen issues arise, provided that the rule does not
exceed clear limits in statute nor implement it in an
impermissible manner.
(4) A rule that an agency has adopted to implement a
broadly worded regulatory statute should generally not be held
to be invalid on the basis that Congress has not addressed the
agency's proposed course of action in specific terms.
(5) A rule that an agency has adopted to implement a
regulatory statute should generally not be held to be invalid
on the basis that the agency has not previously adopted a
similar rule or scheme of regulation.
(6) The expectation that a rule will have broad economic,
political, or social signficance, should not, standing alone,
negate application of the principle stated in paragraph (1),
(2), or (3).
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) agency economic analyses of regulatory actions commonly
underestimate the benefits of regulatory actions that protect
public health and safety and overestimate the costs of
regulatory action to industry;
(2) agency regulatory actions often fail to adequately
consider the distributional effects and social equity impact of
regulatory action; and
(3) an agency shall prioritize the statutory direction of
Congress when taking regulatory action.
SEC. 4. DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.
Section 553 of title 5, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in subsection (c)--
(A) by striking ``After notice required'' and
inserting the following:
``(1) After notice required''; and
(B) by adding at the end the following:
``(2) In the case of any submission under paragraph (1) by
an interested person that includes a scientific, economic, or
technical study or research (or a citation thereto) that the
interested person funded directly or indirectly, or the
nonpublic results of any scientific, economic, or technical
study or research that the interested person funded directly or
indirectly, the interested person shall disclose to the agency,
the following:
``(A) The amount of any funds that were received by
the person who conducted the study or research.
``(B) The entity that provided the funds referred
to in subparagraph (A).
``(C) Any entity that was allowed to review or
revise the study or research, and the extent of that
review or revision.
``(D) Any financial relationship between the person
who conducted the study or research, and any person
that would be affected by the proposed rule.'';
(2) in subsection (c), in the first sentence, by inserting
``, subject to subsections (f) and (h),'' after ``the agency
shall''; and
(3) by adding at the end the following:
``(f) With respect to any submission by an interested person under
subsection (c) or any other submission by an interested person relating
to a proposed rule or final rule that includes a scientific, economic,
or technical study or research by the interested person not published
in a publicly available peer-reviewed publication, or any result of a
scientific, economic, or technical study or research by the interested
person not published in a publicly available peer-reviewed publication,
the interested person, in making that submission, shall disclose to the
agency--
``(1) the source of any funding for the study or research,
as applicable;
``(2) any entity that sponsored the study or research;
``(3) the extent to which the findings of the study or
research were reviewed by a person that may be affected by the
rulemaking to which the submission relates;
``(4) the identity of any person identified under paragraph
(3); and
``(5) the nature of any financial relationship, including a
consulting agreement, the support of any expert witness, and
the funding of research, between any person that conducted the
study or research and any interested person with respect to the
rulemaking to which the submission relates.''.
SEC. 5. INCREASING DISCLOSURES RELATING TO STUDIES AND RESEARCH.
Section 553 of title 5, United States Code, as amended by section 4
of this Act, is amended by adding at the end the following:
``(g) With respect to a study or research that is submitted by an
interested person to an agency under subsection (c), the agency shall
ensure that the study or research is available to the public (including
on the Internet website of the agency and on the public docket of the
agency for the rulemaking) unless disclosure is exempted or excluded
under section 552.
``(h)(1) If a study or research submitted by an interested person
to an agency under subsection (c) presents a conflict described in
paragraph (2), the agency shall disclose the conflict to the public on
the internet website of the agency and on the public docket of the
agency, and by publication in the Federal Register, unless disclosure
is exempted or excluded under section 552.
``(2) A conflict described in this subsection means a study or
research for which--
``(A) not less than 10 percent of the funding for the study
or research is from an entity subject to the jurisdiction of
the agency with respect to that rulemaking; or
``(B) an entity subject to the jurisdiction of the agency
with respect to that rulemaking that is regulated by the agency
exercises editorial control over the study or research.
``(i) In the case of a violation of the requirement to make a
disclosure--
``(1) under subsection (c)(2) or subsection (f) with
respect to a submission; or
``(2) under subsection (h) with respect to a conflict
related to a submission referred to under subsection (g),
the agency may exclude from consideration or otherwise disregard the
submission, and the agency has no obligation to respond to the
submission, except that the submission may be remade with required
disclosures during the opportunity for participation referred to in
subsection (c)(1). Nothing in this subsection may be construed to
affect the level of deference (in accordance with applicable law)
accorded to agency action by a court reviewing such action.''.
SEC. 6. DISCLOSURE OF INTER-GOVERNMENTAL RULE CHANGE.
With respect to any material provided to the Office with regard to
a regulatory action for purposes of centralized review of regulatory
actions, the agency shall--
(1) not later than the date on which the agency publishes a
general notice of proposed rulemaking required under section
553(b) of title 5, United States Code, with respect to the
action, place in the rulemaking docket--

any draft regulatory action that the agency provided to

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to remove short-barreled
shotguns from the definition of firearms for purposes of the National
Firearms Act, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``No Frivolous Application for Short-
Barreled Shotguns Act'' or as the ``NFA SBS Act''.
SEC. 2. SHORT-BARRELED SHOTGUNS.
(a) In General.--Section 5845(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 is amended--
(1) by striking ``(1) a shotgun having a barrel or barrels
of less than 18 inches in length; (2) a weapon made from a
shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall length of
less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18
inches in length; (3)'' and inserting ``(1)'', and
(2) by redesignating paragraphs (4) through (8) as
paragraphs (2) through (6), respectively.
(b) Shotguns Not Treated as Destructive Devices.--Section 5485(f)
of such Code is amended by striking ``except a shotgun or shotgun shell
which the Secretary finds is generally recognized as particularly
suitable for sporting purposes'' and inserting ``except shotgun shells
and any weapon that is designed to shoot shotgun shells''.
(c) Effective Date.--The amendment made by this section shall apply
to calendar quarters beginning more than 90 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act.
SEC. 3. ELIMINATION OF DISPARATE TREATMENT OF SHORT-BARRELED SHOTGUNS
USED FOR LAWFUL PURPOSES.
Section 922 of title 18, United States Code, is amended in each of
subsections (a)(4) and (b)(4) by striking ``short-barreled shotgun,''.
SEC. 4. TREATMENT OF SHORT-BARRELED SHOTGUNS DETERMINED BY REFERENCE TO
NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT.
Section 5841 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by
adding at the end the following:
``(f) Short-Barreled Shotgun Requirements Determined by
Reference.--In the case of any short-barreled shotgun registration or
licensing requirement under State or local law which is determined by
reference to the National Firearms Act, any person who acquires or
possesses such a shotgun in accordance with chapter 44 of title 18,
United States Code, shall be treated as meeting any such registration
or licensing requirement with respect to such shotgun.''.
SEC. 5. PREEMPTION OF CERTAIN STATE LAWS IN RELATION TO SHORT-BARRELED
SHOTGUNS.
Section 927 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding
at the end the following: ``Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a
law of a State or a political subdivision of a State that imposes a
tax, other than a generally applicable sales or use tax, on making,
transferring, using, possessing, or transporting a short-barreled
shotgun in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, or imposes a
marking, recordkeeping or registration requirement with respect to such
a shotgun, shall have no force or effect.''.
SEC. 6. DESTRUCTION OF RECORDS.
(a) In General.--Not later than 365 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall destroy any
registration of an applicable shotgun maintained in the National
Firearms Registration and Transfer Record pursuant to section 5841 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, any application to transfer filed
under section 5812 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that identifies
the transferee of an applicable shotgun, and any application filed
under section 5822 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that identifies
the maker of an applicable shotgun.
(b) Applicable Shotgun.--For purposes of this section, the term
``applicable shotgun'' means any shotgun--
(1) described in paragraph (1) or (2) of section 5845(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as in effect on the day
before the enactment of this Act), or
(2) treated as destructive device under 5845(f) of such
Code (as in effect on the day before the enactment of this Act)
and not so treated under such section as in effect immediately
after such date.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Agriculture
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to repeal the particular
work requirement that disqualifies able-bodied adults for eligibility
to participate in the supplemental nutrition assistance program.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Improving Access to Nutrition Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) 35 million people, including over 10 million children,
suffered from hunger even before the COVID-19 pandemic.
(2) Analyses show that 50 million people, including 17
million children, could go hungry due to the effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
(3) As of December 2020, food insecurity among White
households with children was 24.2 percent, while 38.6 percent
of Latinx and 40.6 percent of African-American households with
children suffered from food insecurity.
(4) Black and Hispanic children were twice as likely to
live in households without enough to eat as White children,
entering this crisis at disproportionate risk of going hungry.
(5) Adults who identify as American Indian, Alaska Native,
Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, or as multiracial, were
twice as likely as White adults to report that their household
did not get enough to eat. While official national data for
Native American households is lacking, previous research in
Washington State showed food insecurity among Native households
was 2.5 times higher than in White households.
(6) The COVID-19 pandemic has deepened longstanding racial
disparities and food insecurity.
(7) SNAP is the Nation's first line of defense against
hunger and is especially vital for vulnerable populations. More
than 85 percent of all SNAP benefits go to households with
children, seniors, and persons with disabilities.
(8) SNAP helps restore access to healthy food, improves
overall health, and reduces poverty. SNAP participation is also
associated with educational advancement of children in poverty
and improvements in math and reading scores.
(9) SNAP has a proven record of effectiveness in promoting
food security and health as well as in providing economic
stimulus. Each $1 in SNAP benefits during a downturn generates
between $1.50 and $1.80 in economic activity.
(10) Studies have also demonstrated that work requirements
do not reduce poverty.
(11) About 6.1 million individuals are subject to SNAP work
requirements and are at risk of losing critical food assistance
if they cannot comply.
(12) Some live in households with school-aged children
where benefit reductions or terminations could jeopardize
children's health, development, and future success.
(13) Children in poverty also often depend on pooled
resources (including SNAP benefits) from extended family
members who do not claim them as dependents.
(14) Studies show that health impediments are a primary
cause of why many SNAP recipients are unable to meet a work
requirement.
(15) Work requirements also cause an increase in the
administrative bureaucracy, which some studies have shown,
cause a significant reduction in SNAP participation.
(16) Studies show that Black Americans are particularly
vulnerable and are most likely to face recent unemployment and
work requirements would disproportionately prevent Black people
from having access to this important benefit.
(17) Families experiencing homelessness are most likely to
leave programs like SNAP when there is a work requirement,
thereby increasing their vulnerability.
(18) COVID-19 has made people more vulnerable. A work
requirement would serve to only further burden those most at
risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.

bravery''.
(3) The actions of Medal of Honor recipients inspire
bravery, and the willingness to give all, in those who serve in
the Armed Forces and those who will serve in the future.
(4) Those listed on the Medal of Honor Roll exemplify the
best traits of members of the Armed Forces, a long and proud
lineage of those who went beyond the call of duty.
(5) Pursuant to section 1562 of title 38, United States
Code, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall pay monthly to
each living person whose name has been entered on the Army,
Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard Medal of Honor Roll a special
pension.
(6) Recipients of the Medal of Honor have earned a
substantial and historic increase to such special pension in
recognition of their conspicuous gallantry, unwavering
commitment, and heroic actions above and beyond the call of
duty.
SEC. 3. INCREASE IN DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS SPECIAL PENSION
PAYABLE TO MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTS.
(a) Increase in Special Pension Payable to Living Medal of Honor
Recipients.--Section 1562(a)(1) of title 38, United States Code, is
amended by striking ``$1,388.68'' and inserting ``$8,333.33''.
(b) Amount of Special Pension Payable to Surviving Spouses.--
Section 1562(a)(2)(A) of title 38, United States Code, is amended--

following: ``a special pension under this section at the rate
of $1,489.73, as adjusted from time to time under subsection
(e).''.

Committee on Oversight and Accountability, and in addition to the

by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as
fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require each agency to repeal or amend 2 or more rules before
issuing or amending a rule.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Regulations Endanger Democracy Act
of 2023'' or the ``RED Tape Act of 2023''.
SEC. 2. REPEAL OF RULES REQUIRED BEFORE ISSUING OR AMENDING RULE.
(a) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Agency.--The term ``agency'' has the meaning given the
term in section 551 of title 5, United States Code.
(2) Covered rule.--The term ``covered rule'' means a rule
of an agency that causes a new financial or administrative
burden on businesses in the United States or on the people of
the United States, as determined by the head of the agency.
(3) Rule.--The term ``rule''--
(A) has the meaning given the term in section 551
of title 5, United States Code; and
(B) includes--
(i) any rule issued by an agency pursuant
to an Executive order or Presidential
memorandum; and
(ii) any rule issued by an agency due to
the issuance of a memorandum, guidance
document, bulletin, or press release issued by
an agency.
(4) Unified agency.--The term ``Unified Agenda'' means the
Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions.
(b) Prohibition on Issuance of Certain Rules.--
(1) In general.--An agency may not--
(A) issue a covered rule that does not amend or
modify an existing rule of the agency, unless--
(i) the agency has repealed 2 or more
existing covered rules of the agency; and
(ii) the cost of the covered rule to be
issued is less than or equal to the cost of the
covered rules repealed under clause (i), as
determined and certified by the head of the
agency; or
(B) issue a covered rule that amends or modifies an
existing rule of the agency, unless--
(i) the agency has repealed or amended 2 or
more existing covered rules of the agency; and
(ii) the cost of the covered rule to be
issued is less than or equal to the cost of the
covered rules repealed or amended under clause
(i), as determined and certified by the head of
the agency.
(2) Application.--Paragraph (1) shall not apply to the
issuance of a covered rule by an agency that--
(A) relates to the internal policy or practice of
the agency or procurement by the agency; or
(B) is being revised to be less burdensome to
decrease requirements imposed by the covered rule or
the cost of compliance with the covered rule.
(c) Considerations for Repealing Rules.--In determining whether to
repeal a covered rule under subparagraph (A)(i) or (B)(i) of subsection
(b)(1), the head of the agency that issued the covered rule shall
consider--
(1) whether the covered rule achieved, or has been
ineffective in achieving, the original purpose of the covered
rule;
(2) any adverse effects that could materialize if the
covered rule is repealed, in particular if those adverse
effects are the reason the covered rule was originally issued;
(3) whether the costs of the covered rule outweigh any
benefits of the covered rule to the United States;
(4) whether the covered rule has become obsolete due to
changes in technology, economic conditions, market practices,
or any other factors; and
(5) whether the covered rule overlaps with a covered rule
to be issued by the agency.
(d) Publication of Covered Rules in Unified Agenda.--
(1) Requirements.--Each agency shall, on a semiannual
basis, submit jointly and without delay to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs for publication in the
Unified Agenda a list containing--
(A) each covered rule that the agency intends to
issue during the 6-month period following the date of
submission;
(B) each covered rule that the agency intends to
repeal or amend in accordance with subsection (b)
during the 6-month period following the date of
submission; and
(C) the cost of each covered rule described in
subparagraphs (A) and (B).
(2) Prohibition.--An agency may not issue a covered rule
unless the agency complies with the requirements under
paragraph (1).

submitted under subsection (a).
(B) Referral.--Any committee of the House of
Representatives to which a bill introduced under

concurrent resolution providing for adjournment sine
die at the end of a Congress, such committee shall be
automatically discharged from further consideration of
the bill and it shall be placed without amendment on
the appropriate calendar.
(2) Expedited consideration in the house.--
(A) In general.--Not later than five legislative
days after the bill introduced under paragraph (1)(A)
is reported or the committees of referral have been
discharged from further consideration thereof, it shall
be in order to move to proceed to consider the bill in
the House. Such a motion shall be in order only at a
time designated by the Speaker in the legislative
schedule within two legislative days after the day on
which the proponent announces an intention to the House
to offer the motion. The previous question shall be
considered as ordered on the motion to its adoption
without intervening motion.
(B) Consideration.--If the motion to proceed is
agreed to, the House shall immediately proceed to
consider the bill introduced under paragraph (1)(A) in
the House without intervening motion. Such bill shall
be considered as read. All points of order against such
bill and against its consideration are waived. The
previous question shall be considered as ordered on
such bill to its passage without intervening motion
except 2 hours of debate equally divided and controlled
by the proponent and an opponent and one motion to
limit debate on the bill.

1st Session
H. R. 1519
To provide justice for victims of foreign state misrepresentation to
the World Health Organization, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 9, 2023
Mr. Smith of New Jersey (for himself and Mr. Burgess) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To provide justice for victims of foreign state misrepresentation to
the World Health Organization, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Compensation for the Victims of
State Misrepresentations to the World Health Organization Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) There is a role for an international organization to
help mitigate infectious diseases that respect no boundaries.
(2) The United States depends on an effective World Health
Organization (WHO) to make good, well informed, and transparent
public health decisions to contain infectious diseases.
(3) In the past, the WHO played a critical role in
addressing and mitigating infectious diseases, such as the 1979
eradication of smallpox, which eradication the WHO coordinated
through a sustained global effort.
(4) Without accurate information, the WHO cannot advise
Member States properly on the risks posed by infectious
diseases.
(5) There are credible reports that in 2006, 2009, and 2011
the Government of Ethiopia misrepresented the nature and
seriousness of cholera epidemics in that country to the WHO
with a view towards minimizing the potential damage to their
economy.
(A) Those misrepresentations diminished the WHO's
effectiveness and the WHO transmitted inaccurate and
misleading information regarding the presence of
cholera to participating states.
(B) Other Member States relied on the misleading
and inaccurate information that the WHO communicated to
them to formulate public health policy, resulting in
loss of life, injury, and damage to property and
commercial interests to citizens outside of Ethiopia as
a consequence of that country's misrepresentations to
the WHO.
(6) There are credible reports that WHO Member States
misrepresented facts concerning the Ebola outbreak to that
organization with a view towards minimizing the commercial
impact that a widely disseminated understanding of the risks
posed by the Ebola epidemic may have caused in their individual
economies.
(A) Those misrepresentations diminished the WHO's
effectiveness, and the WHO transmitted inaccurate and
misleading information regarding the communicability of
Ebola to participating States.
(B) Other Member States relied on the misleading
and inaccurate information that the WHO communicated to
them to formulate public health policy, resulting in
loss of life, injury, and damage to property and
commercial interests to citizens outside of the
misrepresenting States as a consequence of those
countries' misrepresentations to the WHO.
(7) During the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, China
misrepresented the seriousness and nature of the novel
coronavirus to the WHO, with a view towards minimizing the
potential damage to their economy and international reputation.
(A) Those misrepresentations diminished the WHO's
effectiveness and the WHO transmitted inaccurate and
misleading information regarding the communicability of
the novel coronavirus to participating States.
(B) Other Member States relied on the misleading
and inaccurate information that the WHO communicated to
them to formulate public health policy, resulting in
loss of life, injury, and damage to property and
commercial interests to citizens outside of China as a
consequence of that country's misrepresentations to the
WHO.
(8) In failing to relay accurate information to Member
States particularly at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic,
Director-General Tedros relied on false information provided by
the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party
that the virus either could not be transmitted human-to-human
or had a low rate of transmission, and based on such reliance,
failed to thoroughly investigate the origins of the COVID-19
virus as well as contrary evidence of whistleblowers such as Li
Wenliang regarding the virus's transmissibility and lethality,
thereby abetting the People's Republic of China's efforts to
suppress information regarding a global health emergency. To
date he has failed to hold the People's Republic of China
accountable to International Health Regulations, which apply to
all WHO members, and mandate accurate reporting of disease
outbreaks.
SEC. 3. RESPONSIBILITY OF FOREIGN STATES FOR LOSS OF LIFE, INJURY, OR
OTHER DAMAGES RESULTING FROM CERTAIN MISREPRESENTATIONS
TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.
(a) In General.--Section 1605(a)(5) of title 28, United States
Code, is amended by striking ``in which money damages are sought
against a foreign state for personal injury or death, or damage to or
loss of property, occurring in the United States and caused by the
tortious act or omission of that foreign state or of any official or
employee of that foreign state while acting within the scope of his
office or employment;'' and inserting ``in which money damages are
sought against a foreign state, for personal injury or death, or damage
to or loss of property, occurring in the United States as a result of a
willful or grossly negligent misrepresentation of information to the
World Health Organization of the nature, seriousness, or
communicability of an infections disease or other tortious act or
omission of that foreign state or of any official or employee of that
foreign state while acting within the scope of his office or
employment;''.
(b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 1605(a)(5)(B) of title 28,
United States Code, is amended by striking ``misrepresentation,
deceit,''.
(c) Effective Date.--The amendment made by this section shall take
effect 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.

silencer or firearm muffler does not have a clearly
identifiable keystone part or has multiple keystone parts,

_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to reduce Federal
financial participation for certain States that require political
subdivisions to contribute towards the non-Federal share of Medicaid.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Property Tax Reduction Act of
2023''.
SEC. 2. REDUCTION OF FEDERAL FINANCIAL PARTICIPATION (FFP) FOR CERTAIN
STATES THAT REQUIRE POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS TO CONTRIBUTE
TOWARD NON-FEDERAL SHARE OF MEDICAID.
Section 1903 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396b) is
amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(cc) Reduction in FFP for Contributions Required by Political
Subdivisions.--
``(1) In general.--Notwithstanding the previous provisions
of this section, in the case of a State that had a DSH
allotment under section 1923(f) for fiscal year 2023 that was
more than 6 times the national average of such allotments for
all the States for such fiscal year and that requires political
subdivisions within the State to contribute funds towards
medical assistance or other expenditures under the State plan
under this title (or under a waiver of such plan) for a quarter
in a fiscal year (beginning with fiscal year 2025), in
determining the amount that is payable to the State for
expenditures in such quarter under subsection (a)(1), other
than contributions described in paragraph (2), the amount of
such expenditures shall be reduced by the applicable percentage
described in paragraph (3), with respect to such fiscal year,
of the amount that political subdivisions in the State are
required to contribute under the plan.
``(2) Excepted contributions.--The contributions described
in this paragraph for a fiscal year are the following:
``(A) Contributions required by a State from a
political subdivision that, as of the first day of the
calendar year in which the fiscal year involved
begins--
``(i) has a population of more than
5,000,000, as estimated by the Bureau of the
Census; and
``(ii) imposes a local income tax upon its
residents.
``(B) Contributions required by a State from a
political subdivision for administrative expenses if
the State required such contributions from such
subdivision without reimbursement from the State as of
January 1, 2023.
``(3) Applicable percentage.--For purposes of paragraph
(1), the applicable percentage described in this paragraph is--
``(A) with respect to fiscal year 2025, 25 percent;
``(B) with respect to fiscal year 2026, 50 percent;
``(C) with respect to fiscal year 2027, 75 percent;
and
``(D) with respect to fiscal year 2028 and each
subsequent fiscal year, 100 percent.''.
