        with criteria specified in regulation, that a State or the city
        that is the most populous unit of general local government in a
        metropolitan statistical area that is eligible for an
        allocation under paragraph (1)(A) is unable to properly

                basis under the formula in paragraph (1)(A).''.
    (b) Amendment to Definitions.--Section 853 of the AIDS Housing
Opportunity Act (42 U.S.C. 12902) is amended--
            (1) in paragraph (1), by inserting ``or `AIDS''' before
        ``means''; and
            (2) by inserting at the end the following new paragraphs:

        immunodeficiency virus.
            ``(16) The term `individuals living with HIV or AIDS'
        means, with respect to the counting of cases in a geographic
        area during a period of time, the sum of--

                    ``(B) the number of living cases of AIDS in the
                area.''.

Output: This bill amends the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act to revise the formula and requirements for distributing funds under the Housing Opportunities for Persons With Aids (HOPWA) Program.  A grantee that received an allocation in FY2016 shall continue to be eligible for such allocations in subsequent fiscal years, subject to approval by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the amounts available from appropriations Acts. HUD shall:  redetermine a grantee's eligibility at least once every 10 years, and ensure that a grantee that received an allocation in the prior fiscal year does not receive an allocation 5% less than or 10% greater than the share of total available formula funds allocated to that grantee in the preceding fiscal year.   HUD may also award such funds to an alternative grantee if the original grantee agrees in a written document meeting HUD approval. References to "cases of AIDS" and "AIDS cases" shall be replaced by "individuals living with HIV or AIDS," which means, with respect to the counting of cases in a geographic area during a period of time, the sum of:  the number of living non-AIDS cases of HIV in the area, and the number of living cases of AIDS in the area.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Federal Reserve Board Civil Rights
Compliance Act of 1999''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a
        milestone embodying a national policy of equal protection under
        the law regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or national
        origin.
            (2) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects
        individuals against discrimination in the workplace.
            (3) Section 717 of title VII of such Act applies to all
        personnel actions affecting employees and applicants for
        employment in an ``executive agency''.
            (4) An ``executive agency'' is defined in section 105 of
        title 5, United States Code, to include an ``independent
        establishment'' in the executive branch.
            (5) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
        exercises extensive regulatory and enforcement authority as a
        Federal banking agency (as defined in section 3 of the Federal
        Deposit Insurance Act) with regard to State banks which are
        members of a Federal reserve bank, bank holding companies, and
        foreign bank operations in the United States under the Federal
        Reserve Act, the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, the Banking
        Act of 1933, the International Banking Act of 1978, the Federal
        Deposit Insurance Act, and other Federal laws, including the
        authority to remove directors, officers, and employees from
        their positions in banks and bank holding companies, the
        authority to impose large civil money penalties, and the
        authority to order the divestiture of banks by bank holding
        companies.
            (6) The Supreme Court of the United States has stated in
        the case of Bowsher, Comptroller General of the United States
        v. Synar, Member of Congress, et al., 478 U.S. 714, 733 (1986),
        that ``[i]nterpreting a law enacted by Congress to implement
        the legislative mandate is the very essence of `execution' of
        the law'' and noted that the exercise of judgment concerning
        facts that affect the application of an Act is typically made
        by officers charged with executing a statute, ibid.
            (7) The activities of the Board of Governors of the Federal
        Reserve System clearly constitute ``execution of the law'' and
        the Board is, therefore, clearly and unambiguously an
        independent establishment in the executive branch (as such term
        is used in section 104 of title 5, United States Code).
            (8) The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which is
        responsible for enforcing compliance with title VII of the
        Civil Rights Act of 1964, has consistently and properly
        interpreted title VII as applying to the Board of Governors of
        the Federal Reserve System.
            (9) The United States Court of Appeals for the District of
        Columbia Circuit established, in the case of Hilliard v.
        Volcker, 659 F.2d 1125 (D.C. Cir. 1981), that the Board of
        Governors of the Federal Reserve System is an executive agency
        within the meaning of section 105 of title 5, United States
        Code, and section 717 of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
        1964.
            (10) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
        did not argue to the contrary while the case of Hilliard v.
        Volcker was before the United States Court of Appeals for the
        District of Columbia Circuit.
            (11) On October 17, 1994, a jury in the case Bennett v.
        Greenspan, C.A. No. 98-0813-RMU, (Dt. D.C.) found the Board of
        Governors of the Federal Reserve liable for racial
        discrimination, and retaliation, in violation of title VII of
        the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
            (12) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
        has repeatedly suggested in correspondence with the Congress
        that such Board is not an executive agency under section 105 of
        title 5, United States Code, and is therefore not covered by
        title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
            (13) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
        has acted inconsistently with current law in suggesting,
        despite--
                    (A) the unambiguous meaning of section 105 of title
                5, United States Code,
                    (B) the unambiguous language title VII of the Civil
                Rights Act of 1964, and
                    (C) the clear applicability of title VII of the
                Civil Rights Act of 1964 to the Board of Governors of
                the Federal Reserve in several cases brought against
                the Board in the courts of the United States,
        that the Board is not covered by title VII of the Civil Rights
        Act of 1964.

SEC. 3. REQUIRED POSTING OF NOTICES.

    The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System shall post and
keep posted in conspicuous places upon its premises where such notices
to employees and applicants for employment are customarily posted, and
at such other places as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission may
determine, a notice to be prepared or approved by the Commission
setting forth--
            (1) excerpts from or summaries of the pertinent provisions
        of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e
        et seq.), and
            (2) information pertinent to the rights and procedures
        applicable under such Acts to employees of, and applicants for
        employment by, the Board.

SEC. 4. REPORT ON COMPLIANCE.

    Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System shall submit
a report, to the Committee on Banking and Financial Services of the
House of Representatives and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and
Urban Affairs of the Senate, describing in detail the actions taken by
the Board to achieve compliance with section 717 of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e-16).

Output: Federal Reserve Board Civil Rights Compliance Act of 1999 - Directs the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to post at its premises a notice to be prepared or approved by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission setting forth excerpts from or summaries of the pertinent provisions of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and information pertinent to the rights and procedures applicable under such Act to Board employees and applicants.  Requires the Board to report to the congressional banking committees on actions it has taken to achieve compliance with such Act.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``National Women's
Rights History Project Act of 2005''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The women's rights movement is one of the three great
        protest traditions in United States history, sharing that
        status with the struggle for racial equality and the labor
        movement.
            (2) On July 19, 1848, a group of activists including
        Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and Mary Ann M'Clintock,
        convened the first Women's Rights Convention at Wesleyan Chapel
        in Seneca Falls, New York. During the Convention, 68 women and
        32 men signed the Declaration of Sentiments calling for a broad
        array of rights for women, including suffrage.
            (3) Under the leadership of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and
        Susan B. Anthony, the National American Women Suffrage
        Association (NAWSA) was formed. NAWSA was instrumental in
        securing passage of the 19th amendment, which amended the
        Constitution to give women the right to vote. The 19th
        amendment was passed by Congress on June 4, 1919, and was
        ratified on August 18, 1920.
            (4) Susan B. Anthony formed the Equal Rights Association,
        refuted ideas that women were inferior to men, and fought for
        women's right to vote. She also campaigned for the rights of
        women to own property, to keep their own earnings, and to have
        custody of their children. In 1900, she persuaded the
        University of Rochester to admit women.
            (5) In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the women's
        movement expanded to also play a critical role in shaping
        policies on economic and social welfare.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Restoring the Partnership for County
Health Care Costs Act of 2015''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States Supreme Court has interpreted the 8th
        Amendment to require governmental entities to provide medical
        care to persons involuntarily confined in jails, detention
        centers, and prisons.
            (2) The Federal Government does not provide health benefits
        under Medicare, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI),
        or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to inmates
        even if the person is awaiting trial in jail and has not been
        convicted. However, beneficiaries who are released after
        posting bond, or who are released under their own recognizance,
        or who are released under house arrest may continue to receive
        Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, and CHIP benefits.
            (3) The cost of providing health care in prisons and jails
        has increased exponentially due in part to high incarceration
        rates, infectious diseases, chronic conditions, substance abuse
        treatment, mental illness, aging prison populations, rising
        prescription drug costs, and mandatory sentencing laws.
            (4) Providing health care for inmates constitutes a major
        portion of local jail operating costs. Requiring county
        governments to cover health care costs for inmates who have not
        been convicted places an unnecessary burden on local
        governments who have been negatively impacted by recession,
        widespread budget deficits, and cuts to safety net programs and
        services.
            (5) Jails generally have a higher instance of mentally ill
        inmates because jails frequently serve as holding places for
        low-income persons who are waiting placement in a mental
        facility and for mentally ill persons who commit nuisance
        crimes because of inadequate access to treatment in their
        communities.
            (6) The rising cost of bail has also contributed to an
        overall increase in the jail population and health care costs
        for inmates. The high cost of bail has contributed to the
        disproportionate rate of incarceration among African-Americans
        and Latinos.
            (7) Terminating benefits to people in county jails who are
        awaiting trial violates the presumption of innocence, because
        it does not distinguish between persons awaiting disposition of
        charges and those who have been duly convicted and sentenced.
            (8) Otherwise eligible individuals who have been charged
        with a crime and incarcerated, but not convicted, should
        continue to be eligible for Federal health benefits, such as
        Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, or CHIP, until such time as they may
        be convicted and sentenced to an institution. SSI payments
        should be held until the inmate has been acquitted and
        released, or until the inmate has completed his or her sentence
        and been released.

SEC. 3. REMOVAL OF INMATE LIMITATION ON BENEFITS UNDER MEDICAID,
              MEDICARE, SSI, AND CHIP.

    (a) Medicaid.--The subdivision (A) of section 1905(a) of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396d(a)) that follows paragraph (29) is

after ``patient in a medical institution''.
    (b) Medicare.--Section 1862(a)(3) of the Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 1395y(a)(3)) is amended by inserting ``in the case of services

    (c) SSI.--Section 1611(e)(1) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
1382(e)(1)) is amended by adding at the end the following new
subparagraph:
    ``(K)(i) As used in subparagraph (A), the term `inmate of a public
institution' does not include an individual who is in custody pending
disposition of charges.
    ``(ii) In the case of an individual who is an eligible individual
or eligible spouse for purposes of this title only because of the
application of the definition in clause (i), any supplemental security
income benefits otherwise payable shall be withheld until such time as
the individual is no longer either in custody pending disposition of
charges or an inmate of a public institution or shall be paid to the
individual's estate if the individual dies before the pending charges
are disposed of or while the individual is an inmate of a public
institution.''.
    (d) CHIP.--Section 2110(b)(2)(A) of the Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 1397jj(b)(2)(A)) is amended by inserting ``(except as an
individual in custody pending disposition of charges)'' after ``inmate
of a public institution''.
    (e) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall take
effect on the first day of the first calendar quarter beginning more
than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act and shall
apply to items and services furnished, and supplemental security income
benefits paid, for periods beginning on or after such date.
