Output:
Servicemembers' Health Insurance Protection Act of 2005 - Amends the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to entitle a servicemember ordered to active duty, upon release from active duty, to reinstatement of health insurance in effect on the day before service commenced without any premium increase for the balance of the period for which there would have been coverage had it not been terminated. Permits a health care insurance carrier to increase a servicemember's premium if there was general premium increase for similarly covered individuals during the period between the termination and the reinstatement.

Amends the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) to preserve employer-sponsored health plan reinstatement rights for certain Reserve-component members who prior to entering active duty acquire TRICARE (a Department of Defense managed health care program) eligibility.

Makes technical corrections to the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004.

Amends the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief Act, 2005 to repeal provisions revising codified law concerning elections of members to reduce or decline insurance, and the redesignation of beneficiaries, under the Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) program. Reinstates the codified provisions as if such amendments had not been enacted.

Requires that, whenever a member eligible for SGLI insurance executes a life insurance option (an option not to be insured, to be insured for less than the maximum coverage amount, or to designate a person other than a spouse or child as a beneficiary), the Secretary of the military department concerned shall notify the member's spouse or (if not married) next of kin of the execution of such option. Requires that, whenever an unmarried member who is eligible for such insurance marries, the Secretary concerned shall notify the member's spouse as to whether the member is insured under SGLI, what insurance coverage elections the member has made, and whether the member has designated a beneficiary other that the spouse or a child of such member.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Undetectable Firearms Modernization
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) according to data from the Federal Bureau of
        Investigation, 8,583 of the 12,664 murders in the United States
        in 2011 were committed using a firearm, and more than 57
        percent of the murders that occurred in New York State were
        perpetrated with a firearm;
            (2) the ability to produce a receiver for a firearm in the
        home would circumvent a number of laws, because the receiver is
        the component of the firearm that bears its serial number, as
        required by regulations;
            (3) digital manufacturing technologies, including but not
        limited to computer numerical control mills (``CNC mills''), 3-
        dimensional printers (``3D printers''), and laser cutting
        machines, are quickly advancing to a point where it will soon
        be possible to fabricate fully operational firearm components;
        and
            (4) some commercially available products that utilize
        digital manufacturing technologies to manufacture objects are
        able to manufacture these objects using materials that are
        unable to be detected by traditional metal detectors, and may
        not present an accurate image on an x-ray.

                accurately depicts the shape of the component, except
                that barium sulfate or other compounds may be used in
                the fabrication of the component; and

        ``firearm, receiver, or ammunition magazine''; and
            (5) in paragraph (6)(B), by inserting ``or ammunition
        magazine'' after ``receiver''.

Output: Undetectable Firearms Modernization Act - Amends the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 to: (1) delay the repeal date of such Act for 10 years, and (2) extend the prohibitions against undetectable firearms in such Act to specified firearm receivers and ammunition magazines. Prohibits the manufacture, importation, sale, shipment, delivery, possession, transfer, or receipt of any receiver for a rifle or handgun, or of any ammunition magazine, that: (1) is manufactured by a person who is not a licensed manufacturer, (2) is not as detectable as the Receiver Security Exemplar or the Magazine Security Exemplar by walk-through metal detectors, or (3) does not generate an image that accurately depicts the shape of a receiver or an ammunition magazine when subjected to inspection by airport x-ray machines.  Defines "Receiver Security Exemplar" and "Magazine Security Exemplar" as objects fabricated at the direction of the Attorney General that are: (1) constructed, respectively, of 3.7 ounces of material type 17-4 PH stainless steel in a shape resembling the lower receiver for a rifle or handgun, or of 1 ounce of material type 17-4 PH stainless steel in a shape resembling an ammunition magazine; and (2) suitable for testing and calibrating metal detectors. Directs the Attorney General to promulgate regulations to permit the manufacture, importation, sale, shipment, delivery, possession, transfer, or receipt of receivers or magazines that were previously prohibited but that become as detectable as their respective Exemplars in view of advances in weapons detection technology.

SEC. 2. STATE ``STAND YOUR GROUND'' LAWS AND NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
              REGISTRATION.

    (a) In General.--For each fiscal year after the expiration of the
period of implementation specified in subsection (b), a State shall--
            (1) not have in effect throughout the State any law or
        policy that allows a person to use deadly force when such
        person is threatened that does not impose a duty to retreat
        before using such force in any place where such person is
        lawfully present (commonly known as ``stand your ground
        laws''), except that a State may have in place a law or policy
        that permits a victim of domestic violence to use deadly force
        when such victim is threatened and does not impose a duty on
        the victim to retreat before using such force in any place
        where such victim is lawfully present; and
            (2) have in effect throughout the State laws and policies
        that make it unlawful to establish, organize, operate, or
        participate in a neighborhood watch program unless such program
        is registered with--
                    (A) the local law enforcement agency that has
                jurisdiction over the neighborhood in which the program
                is located; and
                    (B) the Department of Justice, in accordance with
                regulations promulgated by the Attorney General.
    (b) Period for Implementation by States.--
            (1) Deadline.--Each State shall implement this section
        before 3 years after the date of the enactment of this Act.
            (2) Extensions.--The Attorney General may authorize up to
        two 1-year extensions of the deadline in paragraph (1).
    (c) Failure of State To Comply.--
            (1) In general.--For any fiscal year after the end of the
        period for implementation under subsection (b), a State that
        fails, as determined by the Attorney General, to substantially
        implement this section shall not receive 20 percent of the
        funds that would otherwise be allocated for that fiscal year to
        the State under subpart 1 of part E of title I of the Omnibus
        Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 3750 et
        seq.).
            (2) State constitutionality.--
                    (A) In general.--When evaluating whether a State
                has substantially implemented this section, the
                Attorney General shall consider whether the State is
                unable to substantially implement this section because
                of a demonstrated inability to implement certain
                provisions that would place the State in violation of
                its constitution, as determined by a ruling of the
                State's highest court.
                    (B) Efforts.--If the circumstances arise under
                subparagraph (A), then the Attorney General and the
                State shall make good faith efforts to accomplish
                substantial implementation of this section and to
                reconcile any conflicts between this section and the
                State's constitution. In considering whether compliance
                with the requirements of this section would likely
                violate the State's constitution or an interpretation
                thereof by the State's highest court, the Attorney
                General shall consult with the chief executive and
                chief legal officer of the State concerning the State's
                interpretation of the State's constitution and rulings
                thereon by the State's highest court.
                    (C) Alternative procedures.--If the State is unable
                to substantially implement this section because of a
                limitation imposed by the State's constitution, the
                Attorney General may determine that the State is in
                compliance with this Act if the State has implemented,
                or is in the process of implementing, reasonable
                alternative procedures or accommodations that are
                consistent with the purposes of this Act.
                    (D) Funding reduction.--If a State does not comply
                with subparagraph (C), then the State shall be subject
                to a funding reduction as specified in paragraph (1).
            (3) Reallocation.--Amounts not allocated under subpart 1 of
        part E of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets
        Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 3750 et seq.) to a State for failure to
        substantially implement this section shall be reallocated under
        such subpart to States that have not failed to substantially
        implement this section or may be reallocated to a State from
        which they were withheld to be used solely for the purpose of
        implementing this section.
    (d) Definition of State.--In this section the term ``State'' shall
have the meaning given such term in section 901(a) of Omnibus Crime
Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 3791(a) et seq.).

SEC. 3. STUDY ON ``STAND YOUR GROUND'' LAWS.

    (a) Authority.--Not later than one year after the date of enactment
of this Act, the Attorney General shall conduct a study of State laws
that allow a person to use deadly force when such person is threatened
and do not impose a duty to retreat before using such force in any
place where such person is lawfully present (commonly known as ``stand
your ground laws'').
    (b) Contents of Study.--In conducting the study under subsection
(a), the Attorney General shall examine each of the following:
            (1) The effect that stand your ground laws have on rates of
        violent deaths, including determining whether States that have
        stand your ground laws have higher rates of violent deaths than
        States that do not have such laws.
            (2) Whether women and minorities are targets of the force
        authorized by stand your ground laws at a higher rate than the
        general population.
    (c) Report.--Not later than 180 days after completing the study
conducted under subsection (a), the Attorney General shall report the
findings of such study to Congress.

Output: Justice Exists for All of Us Act of 2013 - Prohibits a state, for each fiscal year beginning three years after enactment of this Act, from having in effect a law or policy that: (1) allows a person to use deadly force when such person is threatened and that does not impose a duty to retreat before using such force in any place where that person is lawfully present (commonly known as a "stand your ground law"), except where the person is a victim of domestic violence; or (2) allows the establishment, organization, or operation of, or participation in, a Neighborhood Watch program that is not registered with the local law enforcement agency and the Department of Justice (DOJ). Allows the Attorney General to authorize up to two one-year extensions of such deadline. Provides that a state that fails to substantially implement this Act for any fiscal year shall not receive 20% of the funds that would otherwise be allocated to it under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program. Provides for alternative procedures for compliance by a state that is unable to substantially implement this Act because of a conflict with the state's constitution.  Directs the Attorney General to conduct a study of state stand your ground laws, including by examining: (1) the effect that such laws have on rates of violent deaths, and (2) whether women and minorities are targets of the force authorized by such laws at a higher rate than the general population.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Compact-Impact Reimbursement Act of
2011''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) In approving the Compact of Free Association it was not
        the intent of Congress to cause adverse consequences for Guam,
        American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
        Islands, or the State of Hawaii.
            (2) Congress declared that if any adverse consequences to
        Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
        Islands, or the State of Hawaii resulted from implementation of
        the Compact of Free Association, Congress would act
        sympathetically and expeditiously to redress those adverse
        consequences.
            (3) The Government Accountability Office has reported that
        migration from the Freely Associated States has had a
        significant impact on Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern
        Mariana Islands, and the State of Hawaii.
            (4) By placing demands on local governments for health,
        educational, and other social services, migration under the
        Compact has adversely affected the budgetary resources of Guam,
        the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the State
        of Hawaii.
            (5) Insufficient sums have been appropriated to cover the
        costs incurred by Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern
        Mariana Islands, and the State of Hawaii, resulting from
        increased demands placed on health, educational, and other
        social services by individuals from the Federated States of
        Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the
        Republic of Palau.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to address the unfunded
mandate and adverse financial consequences resulting from the Compact
by meeting the obligations set forth in the Compact.

                        aid in defraying costs incurred by their
                        governments as a result of increased demands
                        placed on health, educational, social, or
                        public safety services, or infrastructure

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``National Diabetes Clinical Care
Commission Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report
        that nearly 29,000,000 Americans have diabetes in addition to
        an estimated 86,000,000 American adults that have pre-diabetes,
        an increase of 3,000,000 Americans with diabetes and 7,000,000
        American adults with pre-diabetes since 2011.
            (2) Diabetes affects 9.3 percent of Americans of all ages
        and 12.3 percent of adults age 20 and older. Adults age 20 and
        older of racial and ethnic minorities continue to have higher
        rates of diabetes than individuals not of such minorities, as
        demonstrated by the following: 15.9 percent of all adult
        American Indians and Alaskan Natives have diabetes; 13.2
        percent of all adult African-Americans have diabetes; 12.8
        percent of all adult Hispanics have diabetes; and 9.0 percent
        of all adult Asian-Americans have diabetes, while 7.6 percent
        of all non-Hispanic Whites have diabetes.
            (3) Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the
        United States.
            (4) People with diabetes are more likely than people
        without diabetes to also have chronic diseases and conditions
        that are complications of diabetes, including cardiovascular
        disease, strokes, high blood pressure, kidney disease,
        including dialysis, blindness, neuropathy, and leg and feet
        amputations.
            (5) Adults with diabetes have an elevated risk of heart
        disease and stroke. Adults with diabetes have death rates from
        heart disease that are nearly twice as high as adults without
        the disease.
            (6) Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure. Each
        year, nearly 100,000 individuals in the United States are
        diagnosed with kidney failure, and diabetes accounts for 44
        percent of these new cases.
            (7) Diabetic neuropathies are a family of nerve disorders
        caused by diabetes and are prevalent in nearly 60 to 70 percent
        of individuals with diabetes.
            (8) Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness
        among adults aged 20 to 74.
            (9) About 60 percent of all non-traumatic lower limb
        amputations in the United States occur in individuals with
        diabetes.
            (10) Total national costs associated with diabetes in 2012
        exceeded $245,000,000,000, according to the Centers for Disease
        Control and Prevention.
            (11) One in three Medicare dollars is currently spent on
        people with diabetes.
            (12) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
        projects that as many as 1 in 3 American adults could have
        diabetes by 2050 if current trends continue.
            (13) There are 35 Federal departments, agencies, and
        offices involved in the implementation of Federal diabetes
        activities.
