<p><strong>Student Loan Accountability Act</strong></p> <p>This bill generally prohibits the Departments of Education, Justice, or the Treasury from taking any action to cancel or forgive the outstanding balances, or portion of balances, of covered loans. <em>Covered loans</em> refer to Federal Family Education Loans, Federal Direct Loans, Federal Perkins Loans, and loans under the Health Education Assistance Loan Program.</p> <p>The prohibition does not apply to targeted federal student loan forgiveness, cancellation, or repayment programs carried out under the Higher Education Act of 1965.</p> <p>Additionally, the bill repeals the temporary tax-free treatment of discharged student loan debt.

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H.R. 1622 Introduced in House (IH)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 1622 To prohibit the mass cancellation of student loans. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES March 17, 2023 Mr. Ferguson (for himself, Mr. Gallagher, Mrs. Miller of West Virginia, Mr. Wenstrup, Mr. Kustoff, Mr. LaHood, and Mr. Smith of Nebraska) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committees on Education and the Workforce, and Energy and Commerce, 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 prohibit the mass cancellation of student loans. 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 ``Student Loan Accountability Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) Statutory authority has not been provided to the executive branch of the Federal Government to cancel student loans on a mass scale. (2) It is unfair for taxpayers who paid student loans or did not attend college to pay for those who chose to take student loans. (3) Canceling student loan debt would disproportionately assist wealthy borrowers over underprivileged borrowers. SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON MASS CANCELLATION OF STUDENT LOANS. (a) Prohibition.-- (1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of Education, the Secretary of the Treasury, or the Attorney General shall not take any action to cancel or forgive the outstanding balances, or portion of balances, of covered loans, except as provided in paragraph (2). (2) Exemption.--The prohibition described in paragraph (1) shall not apply to targeted Federal student loan forgiveness, cancellation, or repayment programs carried out under the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.). (b) Definitions.--In this section, the term ``covered loan'' means-- (1) a loan made, insured, or guaranteed under part B, D, or E of title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1071 et seq.; 1087a et seq.; 1087aa et seq.) before, on, or after the date of enactment of this Act; or (2) a loan under the Health Education Assistance Loan Program under title VII of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 292 et seq.) made before, on, or after the date of enactment of this Act. (c) Limitation.--The Secretary of Education, the Secretary of the Treasury, or the Attorney General may not implement, or publish in any form, any regulation, or take any action, that modifies, alters, amends, cancels, discharges, forgives, or defers the repayment of any student debt not expressly permitted within statute or regulation, regarding covered loans, except to the extent that such regulation or action reflects the clear and unequivocal intent of Congress in legislation. SEC. 4. REPEAL OF CERTAIN STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS MODIFICATIONS. (a) In General.--Section 108(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by striking paragraph (5). (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by this section shall apply to discharges of loans after the date of the enactment of this Act. SEC. 5. PROHIBITION OF TAX DATA SHARING. (a) In General.--Section 6103(l)(13)(D)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding ``or the use of return information for the purpose of administering a student loan cancellation plan unrelated to reasons authorized under subparagraphs (A), (B), and (C)'' after ``investigations or prosecutions''. (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by this section shall apply to disclosures made after the date of the enactment of this Act. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

Sharing dependent care allowance information for Federal student aid. SEC. 3. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) A child's brain grows at a faster rate between birth and age 3 than at any later point in the child's lifetime. (2) Decades of research shows that children under age 3 that receive quality child care are more likely to have the behavioral, cognitive, and language skills development necessary for success in school, college, and life. (3) According to a 2018 survey, 83 percent of parents with a child under age 5 responded that finding quality, affordable child care was a serious problem in their area. (4) In 2017, on average, center-based child care for an infant cost 61 percent more than for a preschooler, over $11,000 annually per child, and in 28 States, more than the cost of public college tuition. (5) In the 2015-2016 academic year, approximately 4,300,000 postsecondary education students were raising children while in college, and over half of those students had children preschool-aged or younger. (6) According to a 2016 survey, 95 percent of child care centers at 2-year and 4-year colleges across the United States had a waiting list, with the average list containing 82 children. (7) Student parents were 20 percent more likely to leave college without a degree than students without children. (8) The Child Care Access Means Parents in School Federal Grant program under subpart 7 of part A of title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1070e et seq.) helps over 3,300 students at institutions of higher education afford child care each year, but this program impacts just 0.5 percent of the entire student parent population, and many institutions of higher education do not open their subsidized child care programs to children under age 3. (9) The share of community colleges and 4-year institutions of higher education with on-campus child care has been in decline. Community colleges saw a 10 percent decrease in the number of campuses with child care between 2002 and 2017. (10) Student parents are more likely to be enrolled at community colleges and minority-serving institutions than other institutions of higher education. Over a quarter of all community college students are parents, and in the 2015-2016 academic year, 40 percent of Black women attending college were parents, 3 times the rate for White male college students. (11) Community colleges and minority-serving institutions lead the higher education sector in educating infant and toddler child care providers, especially child care providers of color, so they are the optimal actors for driving quality infant and toddler child care access in their regions.

R. 1631 To amend title 17, United States Code, to reaffirm the importance of, and include requirements for, works incorporated by reference into law, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES March 17, 2023 Mr. Issa (for himself and Ms. Ross) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To amend title 17, United States Code, to reaffirm the importance of, and include requirements for, works incorporated by reference into law, 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 ``Protecting and Enhancing Public Access to Codes Act'' or the ``Pro Codes Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) Congress, the executive branch, and State and local governments have long recognized that the people of the United States benefit greatly from the work of private standards development organizations with expertise in highly specialized areas. (2) The organizations described in paragraph (1) create technical standards and voluntary consensus standards through a process requiring openness, balance, consensus, and due process to ensure all interested parties have an opportunity to participate in standards development. (3) The standards that result from the process described in paragraph (2) are used by private industry, academia, the Federal Government, and State and local governments that incorporate those standards by reference into laws and regulations. (4) The standards described in paragraph (3) further innovation, commerce, and public safety, all without cost to governments or taxpayers because standards development organizations fund the process described in paragraph (2) through the sale and licensing of their standards. (5) Congress and the executive branch have repeatedly declared that, wherever possible, governments should rely on voluntary consensus standards and have set forth policies and procedures by which those standards are incorporated by reference into laws and regulations and that balance the interests of access with protection for copyright. (6) Circular A-119 of the Office of Management and Budget entitled ``Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment Activities'', issued in revised form on January 27, 2016, recognizes the benefits of voluntary consensus standards and incorporation by reference, stating that ``[i]f a standard is used and published in an agency document, your agency must observe and protect the rights of the copyright holder and meet any other similar obligations.''. (7) Federal agencies have relied extensively on the incorporation by reference system to leverage the value of technical standards and voluntary consensus standards for the benefit of the public, resulting in more than 23,000 sections in the Code of Federal Regulations that incorporate by reference technical and voluntary consensus standards. (8) State and local governments have also recognized that technical standards and voluntary consensus standards are critical to protecting public health and safety, which has resulted in many such governments-- (A) incorporating those standards by reference into their laws and regulations; or (B) entering into license agreements with standards development organizations to use the standards created by those organizations. (9) Standards development organizations rely on copyright protection to generate the revenues necessary to fund the voluntary consensus process and to continue creating and updating these important standards. (10) The people of the United States have a strong interest in-- (A) ensuring that standards development organizations continue to utilize a voluntary consensus process-- (i) in which all interested parties can participate; and (ii) that continues to create and update standards in a timely manner to-- (I) account for technological advances; (II) address new threats to public health and safety; and (III) improve the usefulness of those standards; and (B) the provision of access that allows people to read technical and voluntary consensus standards that are incorporated by reference into laws and regulations. (11) As of the date of enactment of this Act, many standards development organizations make their standards available to the public free of charge online in a manner that does not substantially disrupt the ability of those organizations to earn revenue from the industries and professionals that purchase copies and subscription-access to those standards (such as through read-only access), which ensures that the public may read the current, accurate version of such a standard without significantly interfering with the revenue model that has long supported those organizations and their creation of, and investment in, new standards. (12) Through this Act, and the amendments made by this Act, Congress intends to balance the goals of furthering the creation of standards and ensuring public access to standards that are incorporated by reference into law or regulation. SEC. 3. WORKS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO LAW. (a) In General.--Chapter 1 of title 17, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following: ``Sec. 123.

(b) Technical and Conforming Amendment.--The table of sections for chapter 1 of title 17, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following: ``123. Works incorporated by reference into law.''. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

<p><b>Improving Access to Mental Health Act of </b><b>2023</b></p> <p>This bill increases the Medicare reimbursement rate for clinical social worker services. The bill excludes clinical social worker services from the prospective payment system in which predetermined amounts form the basis for payment under Medicare.</p> <p>Additionally, the bill&nbsp;alters the definition of <em>clinical social worker services</em> as it relates to Medicare. Under current law, such services (1) include services performed for the diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses, and (2) exclude services furnished to an inpatient of a skilled nursing facility as a condition of the facility's participation in the Medicare program. The bill repeals these provisions and instead specifies that such services include certain types of health behavior assessment and intervention.</p>

R. 1645 To amend the Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act of 1998 to direct the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a national biochar research network, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES March 17, 2023 Mrs. Miller-Meeks (for herself, Ms. Pingree, Ms. Schrier, Mr. Newhouse, Mr. Panetta, and Mr. Casten) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Agriculture _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To amend the Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act of 1998 to direct the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a national biochar research network, 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 ``Biochar Research Network Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. NATIONAL BIOCHAR RESEARCH NETWORK. Title IV of the Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act of 1998 is amended by inserting before section 404 (7 U.S.C. 7624) the following: ``SEC. 403. NATIONAL BIOCHAR RESEARCH NETWORK. ``(a) Establishment.--The Secretary shall establish a national biochar research network (referred to in this section as the `research network') of not more than 20 research sites or facilities described in subsection (c) to test the full range of biochar types across soil types, soil health and soil management conditions, application methods, and climatic and agronomic regions-- ``(1) to assess the soil carbon sequestration potential of various biochars and management systems integrating biochar use; ``(2) to understand how to use biochar productively to contribute to climate mitigation, crop production, resilience to extreme weather events, ecosystem and soil health, natural resource conservation, and farm profitability; and ``(3) to deliver science-based, region-specific, cost- effective, and practical information to farmers, ranchers, foresters, land reclamation managers, urban land managers, and other land and natural resource managers and businesses on sustainable biochar production and application. ``(b) Scope.-- ``(1) In general.--The research network shall encompass-- ``(A) agriculture, horticulture, rangeland, forestry, and other biochar uses; and ``(B) a broad range of feedstocks, production processes, and application treatments. ``(2) Research.--The research conducted by the research network shall include-- ``(A) cross-site and mechanistic experiments-- ``(i) to fill critical knowledge gaps and gain a more complete understanding of the impact of various types of biochar in varying site conditions on soil properties, plant growth, greenhouse gas emissions, and carbon sequestration in different soils, climates, and other natural and agronomic conditions; ``(ii) to provide mechanistic and technoeconomic insights on thermochemical conversion processes in biochar production and the coproduction of biochar and bioenergy, including interactions of feedstock properties with reactor conditions and processes on the relative proportions and properties of biochar, biofuels, and value-added coproducts, as well as process efficiency; ``(iii) to generate data to develop, calibrate, and validate robust mechanistic models to predict the full life cycle of greenhouse gas, crop response, and related agronomic and environmental implications of particular applications of biochar; ``(iv) to generate data to help guide the design of new, more efficient biochar and bioenergy production reactors and biorefineries; and ``(v) to generate data to develop, calibrate, and validate testing methodologies for biochar to identify potential contaminants or other factors that may cause unintended consequences; and ``(B) site-specific farm and forestry systems assessments and pilot-scale biochar production and application systems-- ``(i) to refine the most promising soil- based uses, sources, and methods of producing and applying biochar in particular regions-- ``(I) to enhance productivity; ``(II) to increase profitability, scalability, and portability; ``(III) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; ``(IV) to improve ecosystem and soil health; ``(V) to strengthen resilience to extreme weather events; and ``(VI) to explore soil, crop, climate, management, and biochar interactions; ``(ii) to develop new knowledge to support decisions on sustainable production and use of biochar; ``(iii) to collect relevant data needed for full life cycle greenhouse gas and economic analyses and complete those analysis; ``(iv) to predict plant response, soil health, soil carbon sequestration, ecosystem health, water quality, greenhouse gas, and economic outcomes for specific implementations of biochar technology; ``(v) to provide data to evaluate local biomass feedstocks, support selection of sustainable biochar production methods, and address biochar production issues; and ``(vi) to share research results to inform farmers, horticulturalists, ranchers, foresters, urban biochar users, extension agents and specialists, and technical assistance providers on the most advantageous ways to use biochar to increase profitability, raise productivity, lower costs, improve soil and plant health, and enhance resilience to extreme weather events while contributing to carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas reductions. ``(c) Eligibility.--An entity shall be eligible to be selected to conduct research as part of the research network if the entity is-- ``(1) a State agricultural experiment station or a State forestry experiment station; ``(2) a research facility of the Agricultural Research Service, the Forest Service, or any other agency of the Department of Agriculture that the Secretary determines to be appropriate; or ``(3) a research facility of the Department of Energy, the Department of Commerce, or the Department of the Interior. ``(d) Administration.-- ``(1) In general.--The research network shall be administered by the Administrator of the Agricultural Research Service, in partnership with-- ``(A) the Chief of the Forest Service; ``(B) the Director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture; ``(C) the Secretary of Energy; ``(D) the Secretary of Commerce; ``(E) the Secretary of the Interior; and ``(F) such other agencies of the Department of Agriculture as the Secretary determines to be appropriate. ``(2) Conservation.--The Secretary, acting through the Chief of the Natural Resources Conservation Service-- ``(A) may develop or revise practice standards informed by the research conducted by the research network; and ``(B) shall coordinate the activities of the research network with-- ``(i) the development, expansion, and refinement of conservation practice standards for biochar production and use for soil and forest health, climate adaptation and mitigation, and other conservation purposes; and ``(ii) improvements and expansion of conservation program technical and financial support for biochar production, application, and integration into soil health management systems and other conservation approaches. ``(e) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section $50,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2023 through 2028.''. &lt;all&gt;

New Source Review Permitting Improvement Act
[ [ "G000568", "Rep. Griffith, H. Morgan [R-VA-9]", "sponsor" ] ]
<p><b>New Source Review Permitting Improvement Act</b> </p> <p>This bill modifies terminology for purposes of the New Source Review (NSR) permitting program of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).</p> <p>In order for a change to a stationary source to be a <i>modification</i> (a change to a stationary source that increases the air pollutant emissions or results in new pollutants) for purposes of the NSR permitting program, the maximum hourly emission rate achievable by such source must be higher than the maximum hourly rate achievable by such source during any hour in the 10-year period preceding the change.</p> <p>A change at a stationary source is not considered to be a <i>modification</i> under the bill if it is designed to (1) reduce the amount of any air pollutant emitted; or (2) restore, maintain, or improve the reliability of operations at, or safety of, the source. However, such changes are not excepted if the EPA determines the increase in the maximum achievable hourly emission rate from such change would cause an adverse effect on human health or the environment.</p> <p><i>Construction</i>, in connection with a major emitting facility (a type of stationary source), does not include a change at such a facility that does not result in a significant emissions increase or a significant net emissions increase.</p> <p>In relation to major emitting facilities in nonattainment areas, the terms <i>modifications </i>and <i>modified</i> do not include changes at such facilities that do not result in a significant emissions increase or a significant net emissions increase.</p>

Paragraph (4) of section 111(a) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7411(a)) is amended-- (1) by inserting ``(A)'' before ``The term''; (2) by inserting before the period at the end the following: ``. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a change increases the amount of any air pollutant emitted by such source only if the maximum hourly emission rate of an air pollutant that is achievable by such source after the change is higher than the maximum hourly emission rate of such air pollutant that was achievable by such source during any hour in the 10-year period immediately preceding the change''; and (3) by adding at the end the following: ``(B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the term `modification' does not include a change at a stationary source that is designed-- ``(i) to reduce the amount of any air pollutant emitted by the source per unit of production; or ``(ii) to restore, maintain, or improve the reliability of operations at, or the safety of, the source, except, with respect to either clause (i) or (ii), when the change would be a modification as defined in subparagraph (A) and the Administrator determines that the increase in the maximum achievable hourly emission rate of a pollutant from such change would cause an adverse effect on human health or the environment.''. SEC. 3. CLARIFICATION OF DEFINITION OF CONSTRUCTION FOR PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION. Subparagraph (C) of section 169(2) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7479(2)) is amended to read as follows: ``(C) The term `construction', when used in connection with a major emitting facility, includes a modification (as defined in section 111(a)) at such facility, except that for purposes of this subparagraph a modification does not include a change at a major emitting facility that does not result in a significant emissions increase, or a significant net emissions increase, in annual actual emissions at such facility.''. SEC. 4. CLARIFICATION OF DEFINITION OF MODIFICATIONS AND MODIFIED FOR NONATTAINMENT AREAS. Paragraph (4) of section 171 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7501) is amended to read as follows: ``(4) The terms `modifications' and `modified' mean a modification as defined in section 111(a)(4), except that such terms do not include a change at a major emitting facility that does not result in a significant emissions increase, or a significant net emissions increase, in annual actual emissions at such facility.''. SEC. 5. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION. Nothing in this Act or the amendments made by this Act shall be construed to treat any change as a modification for purposes of any provision of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) if such change would not have been so treated as of the day before the date of enactment of this Act. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H.R. 1653 Introduced in House (IH)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 1653 To amend chapter 22 of title 44, United States Code, to ensure Presidential records are preserved, duly created when non-official electronic messaging accounts are used, and made available to the public and the next administration in a timely fashion to advance national security and accountability, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES March 17, 2023 Mr. Quigley introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Accountability _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To amend chapter 22 of title 44, United States Code, to ensure Presidential records are preserved, duly created when non-official electronic messaging accounts are used, and made available to the public and the next administration in a timely fashion to advance national security and accountability, 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 ``Promoting Accountability and Security in Transitions Act of 2023'' or the ``PAST Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS. The sense of Congress is the following: (1) The preservation of Presidential records (as defined in section 2201 of title 44, United States Code) is a legal obligation for every Presidential administration, as Presidential records are the most important and widely used source for studying how the executive branch of the Federal Government works, how it has changed over time, and how it might evolve to serve the needs of a new era. (2) The preservation of Presidential records is therefore vital for-- (A) the public to be able to understand and learn from the past; (B) future policymaking to build on the past administration's successes and experience; (C) ensuring accountability for results, performance, and conduct; and (D) other purposes that serve to strengthen American democracy. (3) Any effort to destroy, alter, or remove Presidential records in violation of chapter 22 of title 44, United States Code-- (A) threatens the values described in paragraph (2); and (B) may subject a person engaging in such efforts to other criminal penalties under section 641 or 2071 of title 18, United States Code. (4) The lawful disposal of Presidential records that no longer have administrative, historical, informational, or evidentiary value must follow a process as described in section 2203 of title 44, United States Code. (5) What constitutes a Presidential record is determined solely by whether the record relates to the ``carrying out of constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties of the President'', as indicated in the definition of the term ``Presidential records'' in section 2201 of title 44, United States Code, and by the content of the information contained in the record. (6) For communication between agencies and the Executive Office of the President, the copy of the record belonging to the agency is retained as an agency record pursuant to section 3301 of title 44, United States Code. (7) Consistent with section 2203 of title 44, United States Code, any Presidential records created with non-official electronic media shall be ``preserved'', which includes a comprehensive documentation of all records and associated metadata and attachments. (8) Applications or software with an automatic deleting functionality are antithetical to the legal and historical obligations described under chapter 22 of title 44, United States Code. (9) Periods of Presidential transition are moments where the national security of the United States is most vulnerable, necessitating an early, good faith, and consistent commitment by the outgoing administration to ensure continuity of operations as it relates to national security and protecting critical infrastructure, among other reasons. (10) Agencies and the Executive Office of the President are required by law to cooperate with the Archivist of the United States and the Federal Transition Coordinator of the General Service Administration, who is tasked with ensuring agencies comply with all statutory requirements relating to transition planning under section 4(c) of the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 (3 U.S.C. 102 note). (11) During a Presidential transition, Presidential records, which contain valuable information regarding agreements or negotiations with foreign governments and international organizations and the actions and beliefs of foreign nations or actors are of enormous value to the national security. (12) Any effort to delay briefings, coordination, and sharing information regarding key national security relationships, threats, and operations with an incoming administration or the destruction, removal, or alteration of Presidential records that attest to the information described in this section could pose a grave danger to the national security. (13) An expeditious ascertainment of the plausible President-elect and Vice-President-elect by the Administrator of General Services plays a vital role in ensuring continuity of Government and protecting national security such that the risk of redundant expenditure is overwhelmed by the advantages of an early access to transition resources to allow for transition planning. (14) The National Archives and Records Administration plays an essential role in ensuring the official proceedings of Government are documented to improve democracy in the United States, protect national security, provide continuity of Government during a transition, and promote accountability for actions taking during a Presidency. (15) The robust funding of the National Archives and Records Administration and protection of its officers and employees from political interference is a national imperative and must be a priority for Congress. SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS. Section 2201 of title 44, United States Code, is amended-- (1) in paragraph (1), by inserting ``, and includes the metadata associated with all such material'' before the period; and (2) by adding at the end the following: ``(6) The term `electronic messaging account' includes electronic mail, chat or instant messaging, text messaging, voicemail messaging, and other messaging platforms or apps, such as social media or mobile applications, among other applications. ``(7) The term `official electronic messaging account' includes electronic messaging accounts provided by an executive agency or the Executive Office of the President. ``(8) The term `dispose', with respect to documentary material, means to remove, deface, alter, corrupt, delete, erase, or otherwise destroy the documentary material.''.

<html><body><pre>[Congressional Bills 118th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H.R. 1660 Introduced in House (IH)] &lt;DOC&gt; 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 1660 To establish the Avi Kwa Ame National Monument in the State of Nevada, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES March 17, 2023 Ms. Titus introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To establish the Avi Kwa Ame National Monument in the State of Nevada, 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 ``Avi Kwa Ame National Monument Establishment Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds as follows: (1) The Federal public lands in southernmost Nevada comprise a nationally significant cultural and natural landscape. (2) These lands are considered sacred by numerous Indian Tribes, and the lands are tied to the Indian Tribes' creation, cosmology, and well-being, containing numerous cultural sites and objects. (3) Avi Kwa Ame, or Spirit Mountain, located on the eastern edge of the proposed monument, is designated a Traditional Cultural Property on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its religious and cultural importance. (4) The lands showcase the progression of human history in the Eastern Mojave Desert, a literal crossroads of the American West. There are significant elements of Native American, Western-American, and Mining History, including the historic Mojave Trail/Road, originally used by Mojave and other Native Americans to transport goods from the southwest to trade with the Chumash and other coastal Tribes and later used in Western expansion, as well as the historic Walking Box Ranch which figures prominently in the history of movie making in America. (5) The lands contain several prominent geological features, such as the volcanic Highland Range within the northern section of the Avi Kwa Ame landscape, which is about 10 miles long and remarkably rugged and ragged. The multicolored volcanic peaks, several thousand feet in elevation, tower above the surrounding valley and are remarkably scenic and are a designated Crucial Bighorn Sheep Habitat area. (6) The lands are a rare biological hotspot that contain intact ecosystems, Joshua tree forests, outstanding wildlife habitat, and essential wildlife migration corridors. (7) The remote nature of the area protects the ability to enjoy increasingly rare natural quiet and dark night sky and solitude. (8) The lands provide important recreational opportunities. (9) Establishing the Federal public lands within the Avi Kwa Ame landscape as a national monument will permanently protect these natural and cultural resources for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.

(4) Map.--The term ``Map'' means the map entitled ``Avi Kwa Ame National Monument'' and dated February 1, 2022.

<p><strong>Patient Access to Urgent-Use Pharmacy Compounding Act of 2023 </strong></p> <p>This bill relaxes certain requirements for compounding drugs that are facing shortages. </p> <p>Drug compounding is the process of mixing or otherwise altering drugs to create a medication. Currently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows for drug compounding subject to certain requirements. Generally, a licensed pharmacist or physician not registered with the FDA may only compound drugs in limited quantities for prescriptions for a specific individual patient. On the other hand, an FDA-registered outsourcing facility may compound drugs in bulk for use in medical facilities but is subject to additional requirements.</p> <p>This bill allows a compounder not registered with the FDA to compound drugs in limited quantities for an urgent medical need not involving a specific patient if, among other requirements (1) the prescriber certifies that the prescriber is unable, despite reasonable attempts, to obtain certain related drugs with the same active ingredient and route of administration; (2) the compounded drug meets certain labeling requirements, including an indication that the compounded drug is provided only for urgent administration to a patient; and (3) the compounder requests and maintains certain records about patients receiving the compounded drug.</p> <p>Furthermore, a restriction against an unregistered compounder regularly compounding (or compounding inordinate amounts of) what is essentially a copy of a commercially available drug shall not apply if the drug is on a shortage list maintained by the FDA or the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists.</p>

[ [ "D000197", "Rep. DeGette, Diana [D-CO-1]", "sponsor" ] ]
<p><b>Protection from Cumulative Emissions and Underenforcement of Environmental Law Act of 2023</b></p> <p>This bill directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to address the cumulative public health risks associated with multiple environmental stressors and recommend measures to reduce the number of violations of environmental law in certain environmental justice communities. <i>Environmental justice communities</i> are communities with significant representation of communities of color, low-income communities, or tribal and indigenous communities that experience, or are at risk of experiencing, higher or more adverse human health or environmental effects, as compared to other communities.</p> <p>In addition, the EPA must publish and implement a proposal for a protocol that assesses and addresses the cumulative public health risks associated with multiple environmental stressors, such as impacts associated with global climate change.</p> <p>Further, the EPA must identify at least 100 communities that (1) are environmental justice communities; and (2) have had more environmental law violations than the national average, as determined by the EPA. The EPA must then identify the causes of the violations, identify measures to reduce the number of violations, and implement such measures.</p>

R. 1680 To provide for security in the Black Sea region, and for other purposes. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES March 21, 2023 Mr. Keating (for himself and Mr. Turner) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To provide for security in the Black Sea region, 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 ``Black Sea Security Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON BLACK SEA SECURITY. (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) it is in the interest of the United States to support efforts to prevent the spread of further armed conflict in Europe by recognizing the Black Sea region as an arena of Russian aggression; (2) littoral states of the Black Sea are critical in countering aggression by the Government of the Russian Federation and contributing to the collective security of NATO; (3) the repeated, illegal, unprovoked, and violent attempts of the Russian Federation to expand its territory and control access to the Mediterranean Sea through the Black Sea constitutes a threat to the national security of the United States and NATO; (4) the United States condemns attempts by the Russian Federation to change or alter boundaries in the Black Sea region by force or any means contrary to international law and to impose a sphere of influence across the region; (5) the United States and its allies should robustly counter Russia's illegitimate territorial claims on the Crimean Peninsula, along Ukraine's territorial waters in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, in the Black Sea's international waters, and in the territories it is illegally occupying in Ukraine; (6) the United States should continue to work within NATO and with NATO Allies to develop a long-term strategy to enhance security, establish a permanent, sustainable presence along NATO's eastern flank, and bolster the democratic resilience of its allies and partners in the region; (7) the United States should work within NATO and with NATO Allies to develop a regular, rotational maritime presence in the Black Sea; (8) the United States should also work with the European Union on coordinating a strategy to support democratic initiatives and economic prosperity in the region, which includes two European Union members and four European Union aspirant nations; (9) Turkey's behavior towards some regional allies and democratic states has been counterproductive and has contributed to increased tensions in the region, and Turkey should avoid any actions to further escalate regional tensions; (10) the United States should work to foster dialogue among countries within the Black Sea region to improve communication and intelligence sharing and increase cyber defense capabilities; (11) countries with historic and economic ties to Russia are looking to the United States and Europe to provide a positive economic presence in the broader region as a counterbalance to the Russian Federation's malign influence in the region; (12) it is in the interest of the United States to support and bolster the economic ties between the United States and Black Sea states; (13) the United States should support the initiative undertaken by central and eastern European states to advance the Three Seas Initiative Fund to strengthen transport, energy, and digital infrastructure connectivity in the region between the Adriatic Sea, Baltic Sea, and Black Sea; (14) there are mutually beneficial opportunities for increased investment and economic expansion, particularly on energy, climate, and transport infrastructure initiatives, between the United States and Black Sea states and the broader region; (15) improved economic ties between the United States and the Black Sea states and the broader region can lead to a strengthened strategic partnership; (16) the United States must seek to address the food security challenges arising from disruption of Ukraine's Black Sea and Azov Sea ports, as this global challenge will have critical national security implications for the United States, our partners, and allies; (17) Turkey, in coordination with the United Nations, has played an important role in alleviating global food insecurity by negotiating two agreements to allow grain exports from Ukrainian ports through a safe corridor in the Black Sea; (18) Russia has a brutal history of using hunger as a weapon and must be stopped; (19) countering the PRC's coercive economic pursuits remains an important policy imperative in order to further integrate the Black Sea states into western economies and improve regional stability; and (20) Turkey's continued delay in ratifying Sweden and Finland's accession to NATO undermines the strength of the alliance and inhibits the united international response to Russia's unprovoked war in Ukraine. SEC. 3. UNITED STATES POLICY. It is the policy of the United States to-- (1) actively deter the threat of Russia's further escalation in the Black Sea region and defend freedom of navigation in the Black Sea to prevent the spread of further armed conflict in Europe; (2) advocate within NATO, among NATO Allies, and within the European Union to develop a long-term coordinated strategy to enhance security, establish a permanent, sustainable presence in the eastern flank, and bolster the democratic resilience of United States allies and partners in the region; (3) advocate within NATO and among NATO Allies to develop a regular, rotational maritime presence in the Black Sea; (4) support and bolster the economic ties between the United States and Black Sea partners and mobilize the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and other relevant Federal departments and agencies by enhancing the United States presence and investment in Black Sea states; (5) provide economic alternatives to the PRC's coercive economic options that destabilize and further erode economic integration of the Black Sea states; (6) ensure that the United States continues to support Black Sea states' efforts to strengthen their democratic institutions to prevent corruption and accelerate their advancement into the Euroatlantic community; and (7) encourage the initiative undertaken by central and eastern European states to advance the Three Seas Initiative to strengthen transport, energy, and digital infrastructure connectivity in the region between the Adriatic Sea, Baltic Sea, and Black Sea.

and ``(B) obtain from the student a handwritten statement, in the student's own words and signed by the student, acknowledging that the student wishes to enroll in the gainful employment program despite knowing that the gainful employment program does not meet the licensure or certification requirements for the occupation in the State in which the student intends to reside, practice, or seek employment. ``(4) Requirements regarding reestablishment of eligibility.--The institution shall not seek to reestablish the eligibility of a gainful employment program that is ineligible for funding under this subsection until not less than 3 years following the date specified in the notice of determination informing the institution of the program's ineligibility.''. SEC. 5. STATE AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENTS FOR DISTANCE EDUCATION PROGRAMS.

R. 1684 To require the Secretary of State to submit an annual report to Congress regarding the ties between criminal gangs and political and economic elites in Haiti and impose sanctions on political and economic elites involved in such criminal activities. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES March 21, 2023 Mr. Meeks (for himself, Mr. McCaul, and Mrs. Cherfilus-McCormick) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, 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 require the Secretary of State to submit an annual report to Congress regarding the ties between criminal gangs and political and economic elites in Haiti and impose sanctions on political and economic elites involved in such criminal activities. 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 ``Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act of 2023''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) According to a United Nations estimate, approximately 167 criminal gangs operated in Haiti in October 2021, exerting territorial control over as much as two-thirds of the country. (2) Haitian armed criminal gangs, the most prominent of which are the G9 Family and Allies and 400 Mawozo gangs, conduct violent crimes, including murder, rape, arms and drug trafficking, racketeering, kidnapping, and blockades of fuel and aid deliveries. These crimes have perpetuated the ongoing security and humanitarian crises in Haiti, which have worsened since the assassination of President Jovenel Moise on July 7, 2021. (3) The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Human Rights Service jointly found a 333 percent increase in human rights violations and abuses against the rights to life and security in Haiti between July 2018 and December 2019. (4) At least 19,000 Haitians were forcibly displaced during 2021 due to rising criminal violence. (5) Armed gangs have used rape, and other forms of sexual violence to instill fear, punish, subjugate, and inflict pain on local populations with the goal of expanding their areas of influence in Port-au-Prince. (6) At least 803 kidnappings were reported in Haiti during the first 10 months of 2021, including the kidnapping of more than 16 United States citizens, giving Haiti having the highest per capita kidnapping rate of any country in the world. (7) There is significant evidence of collusion between criminal gangs and economic and political elites in Haiti, including members of the Haitian National Police, which has resulted in widespread impunity and directly contributed to Haiti's current security crisis. (8) On December 10, 2020, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the Treasury designated former Haitian National Police officer Jimmy Cherizier, former Director General of the Ministry of the Interior Fednel Monchery, and former Departmental Delegate Joseph Pierre Richard Duplan under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act (subtitle F of title XII of Public Law 114- 328; 22 U.S.C. 2656 note) for their connections to armed criminal gangs, including organizing the November 2018 La Saline massacre.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. ZIP CODE FOR FAIRLAWN, VIRGINIA. (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) the Commonwealth of Virginia is the only State in the United States where all cities are independent from their surrounding counties; (2) these independent cities are not politically a part of the surrounding counties, even if they are located within their borders; (3) in Virginia these independent cities are subject to separate revenue collection and distribution practices related to roads, resources, and sales tax than neighboring counties; (4) the sales tax collected from electronic commerce from the unincorporated community of Fairlawn, Virginia, located in Pulaski County, is often misallocated to the independent city of Radford, Virginia, because they share the same ZIP Codes; and (5) Fairlawn, Virginia, should be eligible to obtain a separate and unique ZIP Code from the neighboring independent city of Radford, Virginia, for tax purposes. (b) ZIP Code Designation.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the United States Postal Service shall designate a single, unique ZIP Code applicable to Fairlawn, Virginia. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

This Act may be cited as the ``Regional Immigration Diplomacy and Enforcement Act'' or the ``RIDE Act''. SEC. 2. UNITED STATES POLICY REGARDING WESTERN HEMISPHERE COOPERATION ON IMMIGRATION AND ASYLUM. It is the policy of the United States to enter into agreements, accords, and memoranda of understanding with sovereign countries in the Western Hemisphere, the purposes of which are to advance the interests of the United States by reducing costs associated with illegal immigration and to protect the human capital, societal traditions, and economic growth of other sovereign nations in the Western Hemisphere. It is further the policy of the United States to ensure that humanitarian and development assistance funding aimed at reducing illegal immigration is not expended on programs that have not proven to reduce illegal immigrant flows in the aggregate. SEC. 3. NEGOTIATIONS BY SECRETARY OF STATE. (a) Authorization To Negotiate.--The Secretary of State shall seek to negotiate agreements, accords, and memoranda of understanding between the United States, Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, and other countries in the Western Hemisphere with respect to cooperation and burden sharing required for effective regional immigration enforcement, expediting legal claims by aliens for asylum, and the processing, detention, and repatriation of foreign nationals seeking to enter the United States unlawfully. Such agreements shall be designed to facilitate a regional approach to immigration enforcement and shall, at a minimum, provide that-- (1) the Government of Mexico authorize and accept the rapid entrance into Mexico of nationals of countries other than Mexico who seek asylum in Mexico, and process the asylum claims of such nationals inside Mexico, in accordance with both domestic law and international treaties and conventions governing the processing of asylum claims; (2) the Government of Mexico authorize and accept both the rapid entrance into Mexico of all nationals of countries other than Mexico who are ineligible for asylum in Mexico and wish to apply for asylum in the United States, whether or not at a port of entry, and the continued presence of such nationals in Mexico while they wait for the adjudication of their asylum claims to conclude in the United States; (3) the Government of Mexico commit to provide the individuals described in paragraphs (1) and (2) with appropriate humanitarian protections; (4) the Government of Honduras, the Government of El Salvador, and the Government of Guatemala each authorize and accept the entrance into the respective countries of nationals of other countries seeking asylum in the applicable such country and process such claims in accordance with applicable domestic law and international treaties and conventions governing the processing of asylum claims; (5) the Government of the United States commit to work to accelerate the adjudication of asylum claims and to conclude removal proceedings in the wake of asylum adjudications as expeditiously as possible; (6) the Government of the United States commit to continue to assist the governments of countries in the Western Hemisphere, such as the Government of Honduras, the Government of El Salvador, and the Government of Guatemala, by supporting the enhancement of asylum capacity in those countries; and (7) the Government of United States commit to monitoring developments in hemispheric immigration trends and regional asylum capabilities to determine whether additional asylum cooperation agreements are warranted. (b) Notification in Accordance With Case-Zablocki Act.--The Secretary of State shall, in accordance with section 112b of title 1, United States Code, promptly inform the relevant congressional committees of all agreements entered into pursuant to subsection (a). Such notifications shall be submitted not later than 48 hours after such agreements are signed. SEC. 4. MANDATORY BRIEFING ON UNITED STATES EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE BORDER CRISIS. The Secretary of State or the Secretary's designee shall, not less frequently than every 90 days, brief the relevant congressional committees in person on efforts undertaken pursuant to the negotiation authority provided by section 4 to monitor, deter, and prevent illegal immigration to the United States, including by entering into agreements, accords, and memoranda of understanding with foreign countries and by using United States foreign assistance to allegedly stem the root causes of migration in the Western Hemisphere. SEC. 5. FEASIBILITY STUDY AND STRATEGY FOR OPENING AN INTERNATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT CENTER IN SOUTHERN MEXICO. Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, acting through the Director of the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations in conjunction with the Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs and the Ambassador to Mexico, in consultation with interagency partners and appropriate counterparts of the Government of Mexico, shall-- (1) conduct a feasibility study of opening a multi-purpose United States International Law Enforcement Center in southern Mexico to assist in United States efforts to facilitate cooperation to combat transnational organized crime and drug trafficking organizations, as well as to reduce illegal immigration without processing any immigration related benefits to the United States; and (2) submit to the relevant congressional committees a strategy, including a timeline and expected costs, for opening such a Center, incorporating the results of the feasibility study. SEC. 6. DEFINITIONS. In this Act: (1) Alien.--The term ``alien'' has the meaning given such term in section 101 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101). (2) Relevant congressional committees.--The term ``relevant congressional committees'' means the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate. &lt;all&gt; </pre></body></html>

<p><b>Ensuring Patient Access to Critical Breakthrough Products Act of </b><b>2023</b></p> <p>This bill provides for Medicare coverage of medical devices that are approved under the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Breakthrough Devices Program. (Under the program, manufacturers work with the FDA to expedite the review and approval of certain medical devices that provide for more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating human diseases or conditions.)</p> <p>The bill allows designated medical breakthrough devices to be temporarily covered under Medicare during a four-year transitional period. The Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) must assign payment codes for such devices within three months of FDA approval. The CMS must also establish a process to allow for continued coverage after the transitional period has expired, taking into account any additional evidence or data the CMS deems necessary.</p> <p>The CMS must also provide for temporary and, where appropriate, permanent Medicare coverage of breakthrough devices for which there is no existing benefit category (i.e., classification).</p>

R. 1694 To amend titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act to provide for coverage of services furnished by freestanding emergency centers. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES March 22, 2023 Mr. Arrington (for himself, Mr. Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, Mr. Cloud, Mr. Burgess, and Mr. Sessions) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, 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 titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act to provide for coverage of services furnished by freestanding emergency centers. 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 ``Emergency Care Improvement Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) To expand provider capacity to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, in April of 2020 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued a waiver allowing freestanding emergency centers (FECs) to enroll as Medicare-certified hospitals and receive Medicare reimbursement for the duration of the COVID-19 public health emergency. (2) FECs are fully licensed emergency departments that are staffed by both Emergency Medicine trained physicians and registered nurses who are on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and possess licensed pharmacies, clinical laboratories, and advanced imaging services. FECs are State-licensed, and adhere to the same standards and provide the same level of care as Hospital Based Emergency Rooms, including State EMTALA regulations on treating all patients. (3) Over 110 FECs, mostly located in Texas, have enrolled and provided high-quality emergency services for all kinds of emergency conditions at significant savings to the Medicare program and to thousands of Medicare beneficiaries. (4) An actuarial study of Medicare claims data found that FECs did not increase overall utilization of emergency care services and saved the Medicare program 21.8 percent in lower emergency care payments for patients of similar acuity. SEC. 3. COVERAGE OF FREESTANDING EMERGENCY CENTERS UNDER MEDICARE AND MEDICAID. (a) Coverage Under Medicare Part B.--Section 1832(a)(2) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395k(a)) is amended-- (1) in subparagraph (I), by striking ``and'' at the end; (2) in subparagraph (J), by striking the period at the end and inserting ``; and''; and (3) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph: ``(K) emergency services (as defined in section 2799A-1(a)(3)(C) of the Public Health Service Act) provided by a freestanding emergency center (as defined in section 1861(nnn)).''. (b) Freestanding Emergency Center Defined.--Section 1861 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395x) is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: ``(nnn) Freestanding Emergency Center.--The term `freestanding emergency center' means a health care facility that-- ``(1) is an independent freestanding emergency department (as defined in section 2799A-1(a)(3)(D) of the Public Health Service Act); ``(2) is operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year with a physician (as defined in subsection (r)) onsite and available at all times; ``(3) has in place mechanisms to allow for appropriate transfers and referrals; ``(4) develops, implements, and maintains an ongoing, data- driven quality assessment and performance improvement (QAPI) program; ``(5) is located-- ``(A) in a metropolitan statistical area; or ``(B)(i) in the case of a facility established prior to 2020, in a rural county; or ``(ii) in the case of a facility established on or after January 1, 2020, in a rural county that does not have a Medicare-certified hospital or a rural emergency hospital (as defined in subsection (kkk)(2)); ``(6) has established a governing body to determine, implement, and monitor policies governing the total operation of the facility, and has oversight and accountability for the QAPI program, ensuring that facility policies and such QAPI program are administered so as to provide quality health care in a safe environment; and ``(7) meets all State requirements applicable to facilities which furnish emergency medical services to individuals but do not typically provide for stays in excess of 24 hours, and meets such other requirements as the Secretary may prescribe not in excess of the conditions of participation under this title that are specifically applicable to off campus dedicated emergency departments of hospitals (as described in section 482.55 of title 42, Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor regulation)), and not the conditions of participation under this title that are applicable to hospitals (as defined in subsection (e)), including rural emergency hospitals (as defined in subsection (kkk)(2)), other than with respect to compliance with the requirements described in section 1867;''. (c) Payment Under Medicare.--Section 1833(t)(21) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395l(t)(21)) is amended by adding at the end the following new subparagraph: ``(F) Treatment of freestanding emergency centers.--The facility payment rate for services of a freestanding emergency center (as defined in section 1861(nnn)) for higher acuity evaluation or management level services (as represented by HCPCS codes 99283- 99285, or any successor codes) shall be in an amount equal to the payment that would otherwise apply to a hospital outpatient department under this subsection, including the application of the geographic adjustment under paragraph (2)(D) and the OPD fee schedule increase factor under paragraph (3)(C)(iv).''. (d) Coverage Under Medicaid.--Section 1905(a)(2)(A) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396d(a)(2)(A)) is amended by inserting ``, including the services of freestanding emergency centers (as defined in section 1861(nnn))'' after ``outpatient hospital services''.

<p><b>Paycheck Fairness Act</b></p> <p>This bill addresses wage discrimination on the basis of sex, which is defined to include pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics.</p> <p>Specifically, it limits an employer's defense that a pay differential is based on a factor other than sex to only bona fide job-related factors in wage discrimination claims, enhances nonretaliation prohibitions, and makes it unlawful to require an employee to sign a contract or waiver prohibiting the employee from disclosing information about the employee's wages. The bill also increases civil penalties for violations of equal pay provisions. </p> <p>Additionally, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs must train EEOC employees and other affected parties on wage discrimination. <p>The bill directs the Department of Labor to (1) establish and carry out a grant program to provide training in negotiation skills related to compensation and equitable working conditions, (2) conduct studies to eliminate pay disparities between men and women, and (3) make available information on wage discrimination to assist the public in understanding and addressing such discrimination. <p>The bill establishes the National Award for Pay Equity in the Workplace for an employer who has made a substantial effort to eliminate pay disparities between men and women. It also establishes the National Equal Pay Enforcement Task Force to address compliance, public education, and enforcement of equal pay laws. <p>Finally, the bill requires the EEOC to issue regulations for collecting from employers compensation and other employment data according to the sex, race, and national origin of employees for use in enforcing laws prohibiting pay discrimination. <p> <p> <p> <p>

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following: (1) Communities of color, low-income communities, Tribal and Indigenous communities, fossil fuel-dependent communities, and other vulnerable populations, such as persons with disabilities, children, and the elderly, are disproportionately burdened by environmental hazards that include exposure to polluted air, waterways, and landscapes. (2) Environmental justice disparities are also exhibited through a lack of equitable access to green spaces, public recreation opportunities, and information and data on potential exposure to environmental hazards. (3) Communities experiencing environmental injustice have been subjected to systemic racial, social, and economic injustices and face a disproportionate burden of adverse human health or environmental effects, a higher risk of intentional, unconscious, and structural discrimination, and disproportionate energy burdens. (4) Environmental justice communities have been made more vulnerable to the effects of climate change due to a combination of factors, particularly the legacy of segregation and historically racist zoning codes, and often have the least resources to respond, making it a necessity for environmental justice communities to be meaningfully engaged as partners and stakeholders in government decision making as the United States builds its climate resilience. (5) Potential environmental and climate threats to environmental justice communities merit a higher level of engagement, review, and consent to ensure that communities are not forced to bear disproportionate environmental and health impacts. (6) The burden of proof that a proposed action will not harm communities, including through cumulative exposure effects, should fall on polluting industries and on the Federal Government in its regulatory role, not the communities themselves. (7) Executive Order 12898 (42 U.S.C. 4321 note; relating to Federal actions to address environmental justice in minority populations and low-income populations) directs Federal agencies to address disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs, but Federal agencies have been inconsistent in updating their strategic plans for environmental justice and reporting on their progress in enacting those plans. (8) Government action to correct environmental injustices is a moral imperative. Federal policy can and should improve public health and improve the overall well-being of all communities. (9) All people have the right to breathe clean air, drink clean water, live free of dangerous levels of toxic pollution, and share the benefits of a prosperous and vibrant pollution- free economy. (10) A fair and just transition to a pollution-free economy is necessary to ensure that workers and communities in deindustrialized areas have access to the resources and benefits of a sustainable future. That transition must also address the economic disparities experienced by residents living in areas contaminated by pollution or environmental degradation, including access to jobs, and members of those communities must be fully and meaningfully involved in transition planning processes. (11) It is the responsibility of the Federal Government to seek to achieve environmental justice, health equity, and climate justice for all communities. (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of Congress that each Federal agency should-- (1) seek to achieve environmental justice as part of its mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs, policies, practices, and activities on communities of color, low-income communities, and Tribal and Indigenous communities in each State and territory of the United States; (2) promote meaningful involvement by communities and due process in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws; (3) provide direct guidance and technical assistance to communities experiencing environmental injustice focused on increasing shared understanding of the science, laws, regulations, and policy related to Federal agency action on environmental justice issues; (4) cooperate with State governments, Indian Tribes, and local governments to address pollution and public health burdens in communities experiencing environmental injustice, and build healthy, sustainable, and resilient communities; and (5) recognize the right of all people to clean air, safe and affordable drinking water, protection from climate hazards, and the sustainable preservation of the ecological integrity and aesthetic, scientific, cultural, and historical values of the natural environment.
