SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Integrated Public Alert and Warning
System Modernization Act of 2015''.

SEC. 2. INTEGRATED PUBLIC ALERT AND WARNING SYSTEM MODERNIZATION.

    (a) Integrated Public Alert and Warning System Modernization.--
            (1) In general.--To provide timely and effective disaster
        warnings under this section, the President, acting through the
        Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
        shall, except as provided in paragraph (4)--
                    (A) modernize the integrated public alert and
                warning system of the United States (in this section
                referred to as the ``public alert and warning system'')
                to ensure that the President under all conditions is
                able to alert and warn governmental authorities and the
                civilian population in areas endangered by disasters;
                and
                    (B) implement the public alert and warning system.
            (2) Implementation requirements.--In carrying out paragraph
        (1), the Administrator shall, consistent with the
        recommendations in the final report of the Integrated Public
        Alert and Warning System Advisory Committee (established under
        subsection (b))--
                    (A) establish or adopt, as appropriate, common
                alerting and warning protocols, standards, terminology,
                and operating procedures for the public alert and
                warning system;
                    (B) include in the public alert and warning system
                the capability to adapt the distribution and content of
                communications on the basis of geographic location,
                risks, or personal user preferences, as appropriate;
                    (C) include in the public alert and warning system
                the capability to alert, warn, and provide the
                equivalent amount of information to individuals with
                disabilities and individuals with access and functional
                needs;
                    (D) ensure that training, tests, and exercises are
                conducted for the public alert and warning system and
                that the system is incorporated into other training and
                exercise programs of the Department of Homeland
                Security, as appropriate;
                    (E) establish and integrate into the National

                State, tribal, and local government officials in the
                use of the Common Alerting Protocol enabled Emergency
                Alert System; and
                    (F) ensure that the public alert and warning system
                is resilient, secure, and can withstand acts of
                terrorism and other external attacks.

SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Extension services such as the Manufacturing Extension
        Partnership and the Agricultural Extension Service have proven
        to be effective public-private partnerships to integrate new
        technologies and to improve utilization of existing
        technologies by small to medium sized manufacturers and the
        United States agricultural community.
            (2) Undergraduate institutions of higher education working
        with nonprofit organizations and State and Federal agencies can
        tailor educational technology extension programs to meet
        specific local and regional requirements.
            (3) Undergraduate institutions of higher education, often
        with the assistance of the National Science Foundation, have
        during the past 20 years been integrating educational
        technologies into their curriculums, and as such can draw upon
        their own experiences to advise elementary and secondary school
        educators on ways to integrate a variety of educational
        technologies into the educational process.
            (4) Many elementary and secondary school systems,
        particularly in rural and traditionally underserved areas, lack
        general information on the most effective methods to integrate
        their existing technology infrastructure, as well as new
        educational technology, into the educational process and
        curriculum.
            (5) Most Federal and State educational technology programs
        have focused on acquiring educational technologies with less
        emphasis on the utilization of those technologies in the
        classroom and the training and infrastructural requirements
        needed to efficiently support those types of technologies. As a
        result, in many instances, the full potential of educational
        technology has not been realized.
            (6) Our global economy is increasingly reliant on a
        workforce not only comfortable with technology, but also able
        to integrate rapid technological changes into the production
        process. As such, in order to remain competitive in a global
        economy, it is imperative that we maintain a work-ready labor
        force.
            (7) According to ``Teacher Quality: A Report on the
        Preparation and Qualifications of Public School Teachers'',
        prepared by the Department of Education, only 1 in 5 teachers
        felt well prepared to work in a modern classroom.
            (8) The most common form of professional development for
        teachers continues to be workshops that typically last no more
        than 1 day and have little relevance to teachers' work in the
        classroom.
            (9) A 1998 national survey completed by the Department of
        Education found that only 19 percent of teachers had been
        formally mentored by another teacher, and that 70 percent of
        these teachers felt that this collaboration was very helpful to
        their teaching.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to improve the utilization
of educational technologies in elementary and secondary education by
creating an educational technology extension service based at
intermediate school districts, regional education service agencies, or
undergraduate institutions of higher education.

SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Protect Children from Video Game Sex
and Violence Act of 2003''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The video game industry has grown into a $10 billion
        market for game software publishing, wholesaling, and
        retailing.
            (2) The use and observation of video games that contain
        sexual or violent content can be harmful to minors and
        reasonable restrictions will significantly decrease the number
        of minors using these games.
            (3) On July 26, 2000, six of the Nation's most respected
        public health groups, including the American Medical
        Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American
        Academy of Family Physicians, and the American Academy of Child
        and Adolescent Psychiatry, found that viewing entertainment
        violence can lead to increases in aggressive attitudes,
        behaviors, and values, particularly in children.
            (4) The ratings and content descriptors of video and
        computer games issued by the entertainment industry reflect the
        notion that certain video and computer games are suitable only
        for adults due to graphic depictions of sex or violence.
            (5) In December 2001, a study by the Federal Trade
        Commission showed that retailers allowed 78 percent of
        unaccompanied minors, ages 13 to 16, to purchase games rated as
        ``Mature'' by the Entertainment Software Rating Board.
            (6) The sale of video games and computer games
        substantially affects interstate commerce because they are sold
        in interstate commerce on a nationwide basis.
            (7) The Nation has a compelling interest in preventing
        minors from purchasing video and computer games that are only
        suitable for adults due to graphic depictions of sex or
        violence.
            (8) There is a need to enact narrowly tailored legislation
        to restrict the sale and use of video games that contain sexual
        or violent content that is intended for adults only, and that
        such legislation not restrict adults' access to these games.

SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON SALE OR RENTAL OF ADULT VIDEO GAMES TO MINORS.

    (a) In General.--Part 1 of title 18, United States Code, is amended
by adding at the end the following new chapter:

    ``(c) Subsequent Violations.--Whoever knowingly violates section
2732, having previously been fined under subsection (b), shall be fined
not less than $5,000.''.
    (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of chapters at the beginning of
part I of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end
the following new item:

``124. Prohibition on sale or rental of adult video games to    2731''.
                            minors.

Output: Protect Children from Video Game Sex and Violence Act of 2003 - Amends the Federal criminal code to prohibit the sale or rental to a minor of a video game that depicts nudity, sexual conduct, or other content harmful to minors.
