Drinking Water Right-to-Know Act of 1999 - Amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to require a national primary drinking water regulation for radionuclides to require the testing of drinking water for the presence of radium 224 no later than 48 hours after taking a sample.
Requires annual consumer confidence reports by community water systems to include a report on the level of each contaminant that may be difficult to detect in finished water and present at levels that present a public health concern in such water.  Requires regulations regarding such reports to direct public water systems to mail such reports to residential consumers and such reports suitable for posting to customers providing water to non-residential consumers.
Provides that certain procedures for systems serving smaller communities that are not required to mail such report to consumers shall require such systems to notify consumers of new contamination or a significant increase in contamination by a regulated contaminant that is above the maximum contaminant level goal for the contaminant or of such contamination or increase by an unregulated contaminant.
Requires State source water assessment programs to assess the susceptibility of each public water system in the delineated areas to any contaminant that is: (1) subject to a national primary drinking water regulation; (2) included on a specified list of unregulated contaminants; (3) the subject of a health advisory published by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency; (4) monitored under such programs; (5) known or suspected to be from a pollution source; or (6) monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey under the National Water Quality Assessment program.
Requires such programs to: (1) identify contaminants described in the preceding paragraph that the State determines present a public health threat; (2) require monitoring for such contaminants if a contaminant may have been released by a potentially significant source; (3) identify known or suspected sources of pollution that may threaten public health; (4) apply to wellheads, groundwater recharge areas, watersheds and other areas determined to be appropriate; and (5) be developed, updated, and implemented in cooperation with the public served by the source water assessment areas included in such programs.
Directs States to submit plans for such programs to the Administrator.  Provides for plan updates every five years.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Puppy Protection Act of 2001''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) puppies in the United States are mass-produced at
        breeding facilities known as ``puppy mills'';
            (2) those puppies are typically sold at 8 weeks of age to
        retail operations or to live animal brokers that subsequently
        sell the puppies to retail operations;
            (3) there are more than 3,000 commercial dog breeding
        operations in the United States;
            (4) problems documented at puppy mills include--
                    (A) overcrowding in cages;
                    (B) lack of protection from the elements;
                    (C) infestation of food by rodents or insects;
                    (D) overbreeding;
                    (E) inbreeding;
                    (F) lack of proper veterinary care;
                    (G) lack of socialization with humans; and
                    (H) the killing of unwanted animals;
            (5) lack of early socialization seriously affects a dog's
        ability to function as part of a human family and contributes
        to behavior problems such as aggression;
            (6) factors contributing to the declining health of female
        dogs and litters include--
                    (A) the breeding of female dogs during the first
                estrus cycle when the female dogs are not fully mature;
                and
                    (B) the breeding of female dogs each estrus cycle
                without sufficient rest between litters;
            (7) the Department of Agriculture is responsible for
        inspecting those facilities using a set of regulations for care
        and treatment of the puppies and dogs promulgated under the
        Animal Welfare Act (7 U.S.C. 2131 et seq.);
            (8) those facilities continue to operate despite repeated
        violations of the regulations cited by Department of
        Agriculture inspectors; and
            (9) consumers purchase from retail operations puppies that
        are believed to be healthy and genetically sound, but that--
                    (A) suffer from an array of physical and behavioral
                problems after purchase; or
                    (B) harbor genetic diseases and deficiencies that
                may not surface until several years later.

SEC. 3. SOCIALIZATION PLAN; BREEDING RESTRICTIONS.

    Section 13(a)(2) of the Animal Welfare Act (7 U.S.C. 2143(a)(2)) is

                on the recommendations of animal welfare and behavior
                experts, for the socialization of dogs to facilitate
                contact with other dogs and people; and
                    ``(D) for addressing the initiation and frequency
                of breeding female dogs so that a female dog is not

Input:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Health Promotion Funding Integrated
Research, Synthesis, and Training Act'' or the ``Health Promotion FIRST
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Lifestyle factors are responsible for almost half of
        the premature deaths in developed nations and a large portion
        of the deaths in developing nations.
            (2) Lifestyle factors are a primary cause of the 6 leading
        causes of death in the United States, including heart disease,
        cancer, stroke, respiratory diseases, accidents, and diabetes,
        which account for almost 75 percent of all deaths in the United
        States.
            (3) A significant portion of the health disparities in the
        United States are caused by lifestyle factors, which could be
        improved by health promotion programs.
            (4) The United States is experiencing epidemics in diabetes
        and obesity among adults and children, at the same time a
        majority of the population is sedentary and eats an unhealthy
        diet.
            (5) Per capita medical care costs in the United States are
        more than double those of all but 4 other countries in the
        world, yet the United States ranks 42nd in the world in life
        expectancy.
            (6) Medical care costs are second only to education in
        State government budgets.
            (7) Lifestyle factors are responsible for at least 25
        percent of employer's medical care costs in the United States.
            (8) National costs of obesity account for 9.1 percent of
        all medical costs, reaching $93,000,000 in 2002. Approximately
        \1/2\ of these costs were paid by the Medicare & Medicaid
        Programs.
            (9) More than 440,000 people die each year from tobacco use
        and more than 12,000,000 are living with chronic conditions
        caused by tobacco. Tobacco accounts for at least
        $96,000,000,000 in direct medical expenditures.
            (10) Significant gaps exist in the basic and applied
        research base of health promotion regarding how to best reach
        and serve people of color, low-income people, people with
        little formal education, children, and older adults, how to
        create long-term health improvements, how to create supportive
        environments, and how to address gender issues. More focused
        research can reduce these gaps.
            (11) Significant gaps exist between the best and the
        typical health promotion programs. Better synthesis and
        dissemination of results can reduce these gaps.
            (12) Health promotion is the art and science of motivating
        people to enhance their lifestyles to achieve complete health,
        not just the absence of disease. Complete health involves a
        balance of physical, mental, and social health.
            (13) Health promotion programs focus on practices such as
        exercising regularly, eating a nutritious diet, maintaining a
        healthy weight, managing stress, avoiding dangerous substances
        such as tobacco and illegal drugs, drinking alcohol in
        moderation or not at all, driving safely, being wise consumers
        of health care, and a number of other health related practices.
            (14) The most effective health promotion programs include a
        combination of strategies to increase awareness, enhance
        motivation, facilitate behavior change, and develop cultures
        and physical environments that encourage and support healthy
        lifestyle practices.
            (15) Health promotion programs can be provided in family,
        clinical, child care, school, workplace, Federal, State, and
        community settings.
            (16) People living in rural areas have additional unique
        challenges of high risk work environments, more limited access
        to major educational and medical complexes, as well as
        facilities for fitness and recreational facilities and in some
        cases to grocery stores.
            (17) Individuals with physical disabilities respond very
        well to exercise treatment. This is a core component of all
        high quality physical therapy programs. However, additional
        research and more intensive efforts to disseminate information
        in this area are necessary.
