        the Judiciary of the Senate and the House of Representatives an
        annual report regarding the use of this section by the United
        States Government during the preceding 1-year period.

                reasons therefore; and
                    ``(C) the average number of days that material
                witnesses arrested pursuant to a warrant issued under
                subsection (a) were detained.''.
    (b) Amendment to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.--Rule 46(h) of
the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure is amended to read as follows:
    ``(h) Supervising Detention Pending Trial.--To eliminate
unnecessary detention, the court must supervise the detention within
the district of any defendants awaiting trial and of any persons held
as material witnesses.''.

Output:
Rewrites provisions of the federal criminal code regarding material witnesses.

 Authorizes a judicial officer (officer) to: (1) order the arrest of a person as a material witness if it appears from an affidavit filed by a party in a federal criminal case, or by a government attorney in a matter before a federal grand jury, that there is probable cause to believe that the person's testimony is material and that the person has been served with a summons or subpoena (summons) and has failed or refused to appear; and (2) waive the summons requirement upon finding by clear and convincing evidence that service is likely to result in the person fleeing or that the person's appearance cannot adequately be secured.

Establishes warrant requirements, including that the witness be brought before a judicial officer without unnecessary delay and be informed of the right to counsel.

Requires an officer, at the initial appearance, to: (1) inform a witness of the warrant and right to counsel; (2) allow the witness a reasonable opportunity to consult with counsel; and (3) release or detain the witness (authorizes detention where release will not reasonably assure the witness's appearance, but only if the testimony cannot adequately be secured by deposition). Limits the detention period.

Requires: (1) a detention order to direct that a witness be held in a facility separate from persons charged with or convicted of a criminal offense, under the least restrictive conditions possible; and (2) the Attorney General to report annually to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

SEC. 2. GRANTS TO STATES FOR LOW-INCOME HOUSING PROJECTS IN LIEU OF
              LOW-INCOME HOUSING CREDITS FOR BOND-SUBSIDIZED HOUSING
              PROJECTS.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall make a grant
to each State in an amount equal to such State's low-income bond-
subsidized housing election amount.
    (b) Low-Income Bond-Subsidized Housing Election Amount.--For
purposes of this section--
            (1) In general.--The term ``low-income bond-subsidized
        housing election amount'' means, with respect to any State,
        such amount as the State may elect which does not exceed 85
        percent of the State's bond-subsidized credit amount.
            (2) Bond-subsidized credit amount.--The term ``bond-
        subsidized credit amount'' means, with respect to any State,
        the aggregate amount of low-income housing credits which the
        State determines would, but for section 42(i)(9) of the
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986, be awarded under section
        42(h)(4)(B) of such Code times 10 with respect to qualified
        low-income buildings receiving an allocation of qualified
        residential rental project bonds of such State during 2010.
            (3) Qualified residential rental project bonds.--The term
        ``qualified residential rental project bond'' means, with
        respect to any State, any qualified bond (as defined in section
        141(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) if such bond--
                    (A) is issued as part of an issue 95 percent or
                more of the net proceeds of which are to be used to
                provide qualified residential rental projects (within
                the meaning of section 142 of such Code), and
                    (B) is taken into account under section 146 of such
                Code with respect to the State ceiling applicable to
                such State.
    (c) Subawards for Low-Income Buildings.--
            (1) In general.--A State receiving a grant under this
        section shall use such grant to make subawards to finance the
        construction or acquisition and rehabilitation of qualified
        low-income buildings which have received the corresponding
        allocation of qualified residential rental project bonds
        referred to in subsection (b)(2).
            (2) Subawards subject to same requirements as low-income
        housing credit allocations.--Any such subaward with respect to
        any qualified low-income building may be in the form of a grant
        or a loan of any duration and shall be made in the same manner
        and shall be subject to the same limitations (including rent,
        income, and use restrictions on such building) as an allocation
        of housing credit dollar amount allocated by the State housing
        credit agency of such State under section 42 of the Internal
        Revenue Code of 1986, except that such subawards shall not be
        limited by, or otherwise affect, the State housing credit
        ceiling applicable to such agency.
            (3) Compliance and asset management.--A State receiving a
        grant under this section shall perform asset management
        functions to ensure compliance with section 42 of the Internal
        Revenue Code of 1986 and the long-term viability of buildings
        funded by any subaward under this section. A State may collect
        reasonable fees from a subaward recipient to cover expenses
        associated with the performance of its duties under this
        paragraph, including the reasonable costs of administering such
        subawards. A State may retain an agent or other private
        contractor to satisfy the requirements of this paragraph.
            (4) Recapture.--A State receiving a grant under this
        section shall impose conditions or restrictions, including a
        requirement providing for recapture, on any subaward under this
        section so as to assure that the building with respect to which
        such subaward is made remains a qualified low-income building
        during the compliance period. Any amounts of recapture shall be
        proportional to the length of time of the noncompliance
        compared to the 15-year compliance period and the percentage of
        qualified basis out of compliance compared to the total
        qualified basis. Any such recapture shall be payable to the
        Secretary of the Treasury for deposit in the general fund of
        the Treasury and may be enforced by means of liens or such
        other methods as the Secretary of the Treasury determines
        appropriate. A State housing credit agency may subordinate any
        such lien (or other security interest) to other loans made by
        third parties.
    (d) Reallocation of Bond Authority.--A State housing credit agency
shall establish a process in which applicants that are allocated bonds
and receive a subaward pursuant to subsection (c) are required to
demonstrate good faith efforts to obtain purchasers for such bonds. If
a subawardee is unable to obtain purchasers or if the State makes a
determination that reallocation of bond authority will increase the
total funds available to the State to build and rehabilitate affordable
housing, a subawardee may return its bond allocation to the State
without affecting its subaward under subsection (c) and the State may
reallocate such bond authority only for qualified residential rental
projects. Reallocated bonds shall not be taken into account for
purposes of determining eligibility for low-income housing credits
under section 42(h)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or for
purposes of determining eligibility for grants under subsection (c).
    (e) Return of Unused Grant Funds.--Any grant funds not used to make
subawards under this section before January 1, 2012, shall be returned
to the Secretary of the Treasury on such date. The portion of any
subaward which is not disbursed before such date shall be returned to
the Secretary of the Treasury on such date unless the subawardee has
paid or incurred before January 1, 2012, at least 30 percent of the
subawardee's total adjusted basis in land and depreciable property that
is reasonably expected to be part of the low-income housing building
with respect to which such subaward is made. The portion of any
subaward which is not disbursed before January 1, 2013, shall be
returned to the Secretary of the Treasury on such date. Any subawards
returned to the State housing credit agency on or after January 1,
2012, shall be promptly returned to the Secretary of the Treasury. Any
amounts returned to the Secretary of the Treasury under this subsection
shall be deposited in the general fund of the Treasury.
    (f) Definitions.--Any term used in this section which is also used
in section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall have the same
meaning for purposes of this section as when used in such section 42.
Any reference in this section to the Secretary of the Treasury shall be
treated as including the Secretary's delegate.
    (g) Appropriations.--There is hereby appropriated to the Secretary
of the Treasury such sums as may be necessary to carry out this
section.

                extent of the bond-subsidized credit amount determined
                with respect to such building under section 2 of the
                Job Creation and Affordable Housing Act of 2010 if any

Output:
Job Creation and Affordable Housing Act of 2010 - Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to make a grant to each state equal to such state's low-income bond-subsidized housing election amount. Defines "low-income bond-subsidized housing election amount" as an amount a state may elect which does not exceed 85% of the state's bond-subsidized credit amount for low-income buildings.

 Requires states to use grants to make subawards to finance the construction or acquisition and rehabilitation of qualified low-income buildings. Requires the return of grant funds not used to make such subawards before January 1, 2012.

Amends the Internal Revenue Code to: (1) deny a low-income housing tax credit for bond-subsidized buildings that received a subaward under this Act; (2) allow a five-year carryback of unused low-income housing tax credit amounts and a carryback for new low-income housing investments in 2010 and 2011; and (3) allow a full offset of low-income housing tax credits against regular income tax liability.

                component in any list described in subparagraph (B) and
                through the verification required under paragraph
                (1)(B). The report shall assess the integrity of binary
                component suppliers for the incidence of security
                vulnerabilities, the severity, the mean time to
                remediate such vulnerabilities that can be applied to
                assess the security of binary projects and suppliers,
                for use by other agencies.
    (b) Report on Removal of Binary Component With Known Security
Vulnerability or Defect.--Not later than 30 months after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the head of each agency shall submit to each
relevant Committee of jurisdiction in the House of Representatives and
the Senate a report on the completion of the removal of each binary
component with known security vulnerabilities or defects in the agency
and shall include a classified version of this report for the Permanent
Select Committee on Intelligence and the Committees on Armed Services,
Foreign Affairs, and Homeland Security of the House of Representatives
and the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Committees on Armed
Services, Foreign Affairs, and Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs of the Senate. The report shall also detail the policies,
procedures, and processes by which a newly discovered vulnerable binary
component is replaced in software, firmware, and products in use by the
United States Government.
    (c) Other Entities of the United States Government.--Any other
entity of the United States Government--
            (1) shall replace any vulnerable binary component with
        another less vulnerable alternative in any software, firmware,
        or product in use by the entity; and
            (2) shall begin such replacement process with critical
        systems.
    (d) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Agency.--The term ``agency'' has the meaning given that
        term in section 551(1) of title 5, United States Code.
            (2) Binary component.--The term ``binary component'' means
        a third party or open source component.

Output: Cyber Supply Chain Management and Transparency Act of 2014 - Requires the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue guidelines for agencies that contract to acquire software, firmware, or products containing a third party or open source binary component. Requires binary component contracts to include clauses requiring:  a confidentially supplied list, or a bill of materials, of each binary component that is used in the software, firmware, or product; the contractor to verify that products do not contain known security vulnerabilities and to notify the purchasing agency of any known vulnerabilities or defects;  the contractor to obtain a waiver from the purchasing agency for components known to be vulnerable; an agency approving a vulnerability waiver to accept all risk associated with component use; product designs to allow fixes with patches, updates, or replacements; and  the contractor to provide timely repairs for discovered vulnerabilities.  Directs the OMB to issue guidance requiring agencies: (1) to replace components with currently known vulnerabilities and to remove or repair any new vulnerable components that become known; and (2) to migrate to patchable, repairable, and fixable products. Requires agencies to provide the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with a list of each known vulnerable component in any product in use by the agencies. Directs DHS to issue an annual confidential report describing the security vulnerabilities of projects that created any known vulnerable component. Requires the report to assess the integrity of component suppliers for the incidence of security vulnerabilities for use by other agencies. Requires agencies, within 30 months after enactment of this Act, to report to Congress regarding the completion of the removal of each known vulnerable or defective component. Directs other entities of the U.S. government to replace vulnerable components with less vulnerable alternatives.

provision, the reference shall be considered to be made in a section or
other provision of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29
U.S.C. 651 et seq.)

SEC. 2. EMPLOYEE ACTIONS.

    Section 11(c)(1) (29 U.S.C. 660(c)(1) is amended by adding at the
end the following: ``including reporting any injury, illness or unsafe
condition.''

SEC. 3. PROHIBITION OF DISCRIMINATION.

    Section 11(c) (29 U.S.C. 660(c)) is amended by striking out
paragraph (2) and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
            ``(2) No person shall discharge or in any manner
        discriminate against an employee for refusing to perform the
        employee's duties when the employee has a reasonable
        apprehension that performing such duties would result in
        serious injury or serious impairment of health to the employee
        or other employees. The circumstances causing the employee's
        apprehension of serious injury must be of such a nature that a
        reasonable person would conclude that there is a danger of
        serious injury or serious impairment of health. In order to
        qualify for protection, where possible, the employee must have
        communicated to his employer the danger perceived.''.

SEC. 4. PROCEDURE.

    Section 11(c) (29 U.S.C. 660(c)) is amended by striking out
paragraph (3) and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
            ``(3) Any employee who believes that he has been
        discharged, disciplined, or otherwise discriminate against in
        violation of paragraph (1) or (2) may, within 180 days after
        such alleged violation occurs, file (or have filed by any
        person on the employee's behalf) a complaint with the Secretary
        alleging such discharge, discipline, or discrimination. Upon
        receipt of such a complaint, the Secretary shall notify the
        person named in the complaint of the filing of the complaint.
            ``(4)(A) Within 90 days of receipt of a complaint filed
        under paragraph (3), the Secretary shall conduct an
        investigation and determine whether there is reasonable cause
        to believe that the complaint has merit and notify the
complainant and the person alleged to have committed the violation of
paragraph (1) or (2) of the Secretary's findings. Where the Secretary
has concluded that there is reasonable cause to believe that a
violation has occurred, the Secretary's findings shall be accompanied
by a preliminary order providing the relief prescribed by paragraph
(D).
        ``Thereafter,
                    ``(i) the person alleged to have committed the
                violation or the complainant may, within 30 days, file
                objections to the findings or preliminary order, or
                both, and request a hearing on the record, except that
                the filing of such objections shall not operate to stay
                any reinstatement remedy contained in the preliminary
                order.
                    ``(ii) Where a hearing is not timely requested, the
                preliminary order shall be deemed a final order which
                is not subject to judicial review.
            ``(B) If the Secretary has not issued findings under
        paragraph (4)(A) within 90 days, and the employee or
        representative of the employee files a request for a hearing
        with the Secretary, the Secretary shall afford an opportunity
        for a hearing on the record.
            ``(C) When requested, a hearing shall be conducted by an
        administrative law judge of the Department of Labor and a
        recommended decision and order issued expeditiously. The legal
        burdens of proof that prevail under section 1221 of title 5,
        United States Code, shall govern adjudication of violations
        under this subsection. The Secretary shall issue a final order
        within 120 days of the issuance of the recommended decision. In
        the interim, such proceedings may be terminated at any time on
        the basis of a settlement agreement entered into by the
        Secretary, the complainant, and the person alleged to have
        committed the violation.
            ``(D) If, in response to a complaint filed under paragraph
        (3), the Secretary determines that a violation of paragraphs
        (1) or (2) has occurred, the Secretary may order--
                    ``(i) the person who committed such violation to
                correct the violation,
                    ``(ii) such person to reinstate the complainant to
                the complainant's former position together with the
                compensation (including back pay), terms, conditions,
                and privileges of the position,
                    ``(iii) compensatory damages, and
                    ``(iv) exemplary damages.
        Upon issuance of such an order, the Secretary may assess
        against the person against whom the order is issued a sum equal
        to the aggregate amount of all costs and expenses (including
attorney's fees and expert witness fees) reasonably incurred, as
determined by the Secretary, by the complainant for, or in connection
with, the bringing of the complaint upon which the order was issued,
including costs and expenses incurred upon review before a court of
appeals.
            ``(E) In conducting an investigation or adjudication under
        this paragraph, the provisions of section 8(b) of this act
        shall apply.
            ``(5)(A) Any person adversely affected or aggrieved by a
        final order issued under paragraph (4)(C) may obtain review of
        the order before the United States court of appeals for the
        circuit in which the violation, with respect to which the order
        was issued, occurred, or the circuit in which such person
        resided on the date of such violation. The petition for review
        must be filed within 60 days from the issuance of the
        Secretary's order. Such review shall be in accordance with the
        provisions of chapter 7 of title 5, United States Code. An
        order of the Secretary subject to review under this subsection
        is not subject to judicial review in a criminal or other civil
        proceeding. The commencement proceedings under this subsection
        shall not, unless ordered by the court, operate as a stay of
        the order of the Secretary.
            ``(B) Whenever a person has failed to comply with a final
        order or an order of reinstatement issued under paragraph (4),
        the Secretary or the person on behalf of whom the order was
        issued may file a civil action in the United States district
        court for the district in which the violation was found to
        occur in order to enforce such order. In actions brought under
        this subparagraph, the district court shall have jurisdiction
        to grant additional appropriate relief in light of the
        noncompliance.''.

SEC. 5. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    This Act shall take effect ninety days after the date of enactment
of this Act.
