Output: Medicaid Physician Self-Referral Act of 2014 - Amends title XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act (SSA) with respect to physician self-referral limitations to repeal the prohibition against payment of federal funds to a state for medical assistance expenditures for a designated health service furnished to an individual on the basis of a referral (self-referral) that would result in denial of payment under SSA title XVIII (Medicare). Requires a state plan for medical assistance to prohibit payment for a Medicaid designated health service furnished to an individual on the basis of a physician's referral if the physician (or an immediate family member) has an ownership or investment interest or a compensation arrangement with the entity furnishing the service that would not comply with Medicare requirements. Requires application of certain reporting requirements and sanctions to a provider of a Medicaid designated health service the same way they apply under Medicare. Amends SSA title XVIII to: (1) apply the False Claims Act to violations of the self-referral prohibition, and (2) declare the authority of the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to issue regulations under Medicaid limited to the application of self-referral limitations to state plan requirements.  Directs the Secretary to establish a protocol consistent with the Medicare self-referral disclosure protocol required under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that enables health care providers to disclose an actual or potential violation of Medicare self-referral limitations as applied to Medicaid.

        broodstock and produce seedstock which are essential to the
        production of domesticated salmonids in the United States and
        throughout the world;
            (2) the production and dissemination in interstate commerce
        of salmonid broodstock and seedstock provides employment and
        income in economically depressed rural areas and contributes to
        the expansion of United States exports;
            (3) various foreign nations, including the members of the
        European Union, have adopted requirements that salmonid
        seedstock imported from the United States and other nations be
        inspected and certified by a competent authority prior to
        export;
            (4) existing Federal and State programs for the inspection
        and certification of the health status of salmonid broodstock
        and seedstock are inadequate and inconsistent;
            (5) the efficient and effective inspection and
        certification of salmonid breeding facilities, broodstock, and
        seedstock is essential to the economic well-being of the
        domesticated salmonid broodstock and seedstock industry in the
        United States; and
            (6) the Secretary of Agriculture currently provides
        inspection and certification services to the livestock and live
        poultry industries and has the technical expertise and capacity
        necessary to administer a program to provide similar services
        to the United States domesticated salmonid broodstock and
        seedstock industry.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act--
            (1) to designate the Secretary of Agriculture as the single
        competent authority for the health inspection and certification
        of salmonid broodstock and seedstock used to produce
        domesticated salmonids;
            (2) to promote fair trade and interstate commerce in
        salmonid broodstock and seedstock produced in the United
        States, which is used to produce domesticated salmonids; and
            (3) to reduce the risk of transmission in interstate
        commerce of diseases, pathogens and pests in domesticated
        salmonid broodstock and seedstock to the extent practicable.

        participation of State and private laboratories;
            (2) establish health criteria for domesticated salmonid
        broodstock and seedstock; and
            (3) monitor, evaluate, and facilitate the elimination of,
        unreasonable impediments to the interstate commerce of
        broodstock and seedstock that is certified under the program.
    (b) Use of Existing Authorities.--To prevent the introduction or
dissemination in interstate commerce and international trade of any
contagious, infectious, or communicable disease associated with
domesticated salmonid broodstock and seedstock and to promote the
exportation of domesticated salmonid broodstock and seedstock, the
Secretary may use the authorities provided in the following provisions

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following--
            (1) The Commonwealth Government is confronted with a dire
        fiscal emergency and liquidity crisis that imminently threatens
        the welfare of the people of the Commonwealth, affecting the
        provision of essential public services including public safety,
        health care, and education that are needed both to sustain the
        welfare of the people and the economic ability of the
        Commonwealth to address any future resolution of debts and
        legal obligations.
            (2) A temporary stay on litigation with respect to debt
        holders for the Commonwealth is essential to provide breathing
        space to the Commonwealth, creditors, and the Congress to
        determine an orderly process for the Commonwealth to address
        any future resolution of legal obligations and to provide the
        Commonwealth a path to sustainable growth; and thereby, protect
        the lives of more than 3.5 million American citizens living in
        the Commonwealth.
            (3) The Commonwealth is in a state of fiscal emergency
        brought on by, among other things, a combination of accumulated
        operating deficits, cash shortages, management inefficiencies,
        and excessive borrowing.
            (4) The Commonwealth Government's debt is unusually
        complex, with eighteen different but inter-related issuers.
                    (A) There is an even larger number of creditor
                groups, each of which may have divergent interests.
                    (B) The debt's unusual complexity will
                substantially complicate any potential consensual
                restructuring in the absence of Federal legislation to
                facilitate the negotiations.
            (5) This legislation, which includes a stay on litigation
        by debt holders, can protect essential government services and
        help the Commonwealth address its liabilities in an orderly
        fashion, benefitting all stakeholders.
                    (A) A temporary stay on litigation is essential to
                facilitate an orderly process for stabilizing,
                evaluating, and comprehensively resolving the
                Commonwealth's fiscal crisis.
                    (B) Avoiding a disorderly race to the courthouse
                will benefit creditors as well as other stakeholders.
                    (C) Furthermore, the stay is only temporary.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are to--
            (1) provide a limited period of time to permit Congress to
        enact comprehensive relief for the Commonwealth, providing it
        the necessary tools to address its economic and fiscal crisis;
        and
            (2) provide the Commonwealth Government with a tool it
        needs to address an immediate and imminent crisis that is
        unprecedented in the history of the United States.

SEC. 3. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    This Act shall take effect on the date of the enactment of this

SEC. 6. AUTOMATIC STAY.

    (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the enactment of
this Act operates with respect to any claim, debt, or cause of action
related to a Bond as a stay, applicable to all entities (as such term
is defined in section 101 of title 11, United States Code), of--
            (1) the commencement or continuation, including the
        issuance or employment of process, of a judicial,
        administrative, or other action or proceeding against the
        Commonwealth Government or to recover a claim against the
        Commonwealth Government;
            (2) the enforcement, against the Commonwealth Government or
        against property of the Commonwealth Government, of a judgment;
            (3) any act to obtain possession of property of the
        Commonwealth Government or of property from the Commonwealth
        Government or to exercise control over property of the
        Commonwealth Government;
            (4) any act to create, perfect, or enforce any lien against
        property of the Commonwealth Government;
            (5) any act to create, perfect, or enforce against property
        of the Commonwealth Government any lien to the extent that such
        lien secures a claim;
            (6) any act to collect, assess, or recover a claim against
        the Commonwealth Government; and
            (7) the setoff of any debt owing to the Commonwealth
        Government against any claim against the Commonwealth
        Government.
    (b) The enactment of this Act does not operate as a stay under
subsection (a) of this section, of the continuation of, including the
issuance or employment of process, a judicial, administrative, or other
action or proceeding against the Commonwealth Government that was
commenced on or before the date of enactment of this Act.
    (c) Except as provided in subsection (d), (e), or (f), a stay of an
act under subsection (a) shall cease to have effect as of April 1,
2016.
    (d) On motion of a party in interest and after notice and a
hearing, the court may grant relief from a stay under subsection (a)--
            (1) for cause, including the lack of adequate protection of
        a security interest in property of such party in interest; or
            (2) with respect to a stay of an act against property under
        subsection (a), if--
                    (A) the debtor does not have an equity in such
                property; and
                    (B) such property is not necessary for the
                Commonwealth to provide essential services;
    (e) Thirty days after a request under subsection (d) of this
section for relief from the stay of any act against property of the
Commonwealth Government under subsection (a) of this section, such stay
is terminated with respect to the party in interest making such
request, unless the court, after notice and a hearing, orders such stay
continued in effect pending the conclusion of, or as a result of, a
final hearing and determination under subsection (d) of this section. A
hearing under this subsection may be a preliminary hearing, or may be
consolidated with the final hearing under subsection (d) of this
section. The court shall order such stay continued in effect pending
the conclusion of the final hearing under subsection (d) of this
section if there is a reasonable likelihood that the party opposing
relief from such stay will prevail at the conclusion of such final
hearing. If the hearing under this subsection is a preliminary hearing,
then such final hearing shall be concluded not later than 30 days after
the conclusion of such preliminary hearing, unless the 30-day period is
extended with the consent of the parties in interest or for a specific
time which the court finds is required by compelling circumstances.
    (f) Upon request of a party in interest, the court, with or without
a hearing, shall grant such relief from the stay provided under
subsection (a) of this section as is necessary to prevent irreparable
damage to the secured interest of an entity in property, if such
interest will suffer such damage before there is an opportunity for
notice and a hearing under subsection (d) or (e) of this section.
    (g) No order, judgment, or decree entered in violation of this
section will have any force or effect.
    (h) In any hearing under subsection (d) or (e) concerning relief
from a stay--
            (1) the party requesting such relief has the burden of
        proof on the issue of the debtor's equity in property; and
            (2) the party opposing such relief has the burden of proof
        on all other issues.
