        during the 1-year period beginning on October 9, 1993, each
        municipal solid waste landfill that--
                    (A) is in existence on October 8, 1993; and
                    (B) meets the requirements of the criteria
                contained in regulations issued pursuant to sections
                4004(a) and 4010(c) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42

        shall not be required to meet any revised criteria that take
        effect after the date specified in subparagraph (B).
            (2) Exceptions.--
                    (A) In general.--If the Administrator of the
                Environmental Protection Agency (referred to in this
                section as the `Administrator'), or the appropriate
                official of a State with a plan approved by the
                Administrator pursuant to title IV of the Solid Waste
                Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 6941 et seq.) (referred to in
                this section as an ``appropriate State official''),
                determines that the owner or operator of a municipal
                solid waste landfill did not make a good faith effort
                before October 9, 1993, to comply with any revised
                criteria that took effect after the date specified in
                paragraph (1)(B), the exemption described in paragraph

                operator of a municipal solid waste landfill that is
                the subject of an exemption under paragraph (1) may

                appropriate State official (in the case of a State
                referred to in subparagraph (A)) for a 180-day
                extension of the exemption. The Administrator (or the
                appropriate State official) shall grant the extension
                if the Administrator (or the appropriate State
                official) determines that the owner or operator cannot
                achieve compliance with the revised criteria referred
                to in such paragraph by the end of the 1-year period
                specified in such paragraph because of 1 or more
                factors beyond the control of the owner or operator,
                including--
                            (i) litigation;
                            (ii) adverse weather conditions that slow
                        or bring to a temporary halt the construction
                        of a landfill;
                            (iii) a breakdown in negotiations for the
                        construction or use of a regional landfill that
                        requires any local government participating in
                        the negotiations to pursue other arrangements
                        for waste disposal; or
                            (iv) any delay in siting, permitting, or
                        patenting a landfill or transfer station,
                        including any delay attributable to--
                                    (I) the unavailability of, or
                                inaccessibility to, technical
                                assistance; or
                                    (II) procedures for purchasing,
                                leasing, permitting, or patenting a
                                site on Federal land, including
                                carrying out any necessary
                                environmental assessments or preparing
                                environmental impact statements
                                pursuant to the National Environmental
                                Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
                                seq.).
                    (C) Mandatory extension.--The Administrator (or the
                appropriate State official) may not disapprove any
                application referred to in subparagraph (B) in any case
                in which the Administrator (or appropriate State
                official) determines that the failure of a Federal
                agency or a department or agency of a State to issue a
                permit, patent, or other necessary approval for a
                landfill that is the subject of the application, or a
                transfer station associated with the landfill, has been
                a factor in the inability of the owner or operator of
                the landfill to achieve compliance with the revised
                criteria referred to in paragraph (1).
    (b) Prior Criteria Applicable During Exemption Period.--During the
period specified in subsection (a)(1), and during any applicable
additional period specified in subsection (a)(2)(B), a landfill subject
to an exemption pursuant to this section shall be subject to the
criteria referred to in subsection (a)(1)(B).

specifically provided in this Act, beginning on October 9, 1994, each
municipal solid waste landfill shall be subject to the revised criteria
applicable to the landfill issued pursuant to sections 4004(a) and
4010(c) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 6944(a) and
6949a(c), respectively), and any subsequent revision to the criteria.
    (d) Citizen Suits.--No person may commence a civil action pursuant
to section 7002 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 6972) on the
basis of the failure of a municipal solid waste landfill subject to the
exemption described in subsection (a)(1) to meet any requirement with
respect to which the exemption applies.

SEC. 3. EXTENSION OF EFFECTIVE DATE OF FINANCIAL ASSURANCE
              REQUIREMENTS.

    (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
Administrator shall issue regulations that revise the financial
assurance requirements under subpart G of title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, to broaden the mechanisms available to an owner or
operator of a municipal solid waste landfill for demonstrating
financial responsibility. The revised regulations shall include revised
criteria for determining whether mechanisms in addition to the
mechanisms specified in the regulations may be approved by the
Administrator. The revised criteria shall take into account the
financial circumstances of small municipalities and counties (as
defined and determined by the Administrator).
    (b) Effective Date.--The revised regulations promulgated pursuant
to subsection (a) shall take effect on the date that is 2 years after
the promulgation of the regulations.
    (c) Applicability.--During the period beginning on the effective
date specified in section 258.70 of title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, and ending on the date specified in subsection (b), the
financial assurance requirements under subpart G of part 258 of title
40, Code of Federal Regulations, shall not apply.

the ground water monitoring requirements under sections 258.51 through
258.55 of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, any municipal solid
waste landfill unit described in the matter preceding clause (i) in
section 258.1(f)(1), as added by the final rule published at 56 Fed.
Reg. 50798 on October 9, 1991, (referred to in this section as a
``small landfill'')--
            (1) in a community that experiences an annual interruption
        of at least 3 consecutive months of surface transportation that
        prevents access to a regional waste management facility; or
            (2) in a community that has no practicable waste management
        alternative and that has a small landfill unit located in an
        area that annually receives less than or equal to 25 inches of
        precipitation.
    (b) Effective Date.--The regulations promulgated pursuant to
subsection (a) shall take effect on the date that is 2 years after the
date of enactment of this Act.
    (c) Exemption.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, before
the effective date of the regulations referred to in subsection (b), a
landfill referred to in subsection (a) shall not be required to carry

Output:
Local Government Landfill Compliance Deadline Act - Exempts municipal solid waste landfills existing as of October 8, 1993, which meet criteria under the Solid Waste Disposal Act as in effect on January 1, 1993, from meeting any revised criteria (established for facilities which may receive hazardous wastes) for a period of one year.
Makes such exemption inapplicable to landfill owners or operators who did not make a good faith effort before October 9, 1993, to comply with criteria.
Provides for a 180-day extension of the exemption subject to specified factors beyond the control of the owner or operator.
Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to issue regulations to revise specified financial assurance requirements under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to broaden the mechanisms available to municipal landfill owners or operators for demonstrating financial responsibility.  Makes current requirements inapplicable until the effective date of such regulations.
Requires the Administrator to issue regulations that exempt certain small landfills from CFR groundwater monitoring requirements.

Protection Act of 2014''.

SEC. 2. REQUIREMENTS FOR DEPOSIT ACCOUNT TERMINATION REQUESTS AND
              ORDERS.

    (a) Termination Requests or Orders Must Be Material.--
            (1) In general.--An appropriate Federal banking agency may
        not suggest, request, or order a depository institution to
        terminate a specific customer account or to otherwise restrict
        or discourage a depository institution from entering into or
        maintaining a banking relationship with a specific customer
        unless--
                    (A) the agency has a material reason for such
                suggestion, request, or order; and
                    (B) such reason is not based solely on reputation
                risk.
            (2) Treatment of national security threats.--If an
        appropriate Federal banking agency believes a specific customer
        poses a threat to national security, including any belief that
        such customer is involved in terrorist financing, such belief
        shall satisfy the materiality requirement under paragraph
        (1)(A).
            (3) Rulemaking.--Not later than the end of the 60-day
        period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, the
        appropriate Federal banking agencies shall, jointly, issue
        regulations defining the term ``reputation risk'' for purposes
        of this section.
    (b) Notice Requirement.--
            (1) In general.--If an appropriate Federal banking agency
        suggests, requests, or orders a depository institution to
        terminate a specific customer account, the agency shall--
                    (A) provide such suggestion, request, or order to
                the institution in writing; and
                    (B) accompany such suggestion, request, or order
                with a justification for why such termination is
                needed, including any specific laws or regulations the
                agency believes are being violated by the customer, if
                any.
            (2) Justification requirement.--A justification described
        under paragraph (1)(B) may not be based solely on the
        reputation risk to the depository institution.
    (c) Customer Notice.--
            (1) Notice not required.--Nothing in this section shall be
        construed as requiring a depository institution or an
        appropriate Federal banking agency to inform a customer of the
        justification for the customer's account termination described
        under subsection (b).
            (2) Notice prohibited in cases of national security.--If an
        appropriate Federal banking agency suggests, requests, or
        orders a depository institution to terminate a specific
        customer account based on a belief that the customer poses a
        threat to national security, neither the depository institution
        nor the appropriate Federal banking agency may inform the
        customer of the justification for the customer's account
        termination.
    (d) Reporting Requirement.--Each appropriate Federal banking agency
shall issue an annual report to the Congress stating--
            (1) the aggregate number of specific customer accounts that
        the agency suggested, requested, or ordered a depository
        institution to terminate during the previous year; and
            (2) the legal authority under which the agency made such
        suggestions, requests, and orders.
    (e) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
            (1) Appropriate federal banking agency.--The term
        ``appropriate Federal banking agency'' means--
                    (A) the appropriate Federal banking agency, as
                defined under section 3 of the Federal Deposit

                inserting ``Investigations''; and
                    (B) by amending paragraph (1)(C) to read as
                follows:
                    ``(C) summon witnesses and require the production
                of any books, papers, correspondence, memoranda, or
                other records which the Attorney General deems relevant

                            ``(i) requests a court order from a court

                        offers specific and articulable facts showing
                        that there are reasonable grounds to believe
                        that the information or testimony sought is
                        relevant and material for conducting an
                        investigation under this section; or
                            ``(ii) either personally or through
                        delegation no lower than the Deputy Attorney
                        General, issues and signs a subpoena for such
                        actions and has reasonable grounds to believe
                        that the information or testimony sought is
                        relevant for conducting an investigation under
                        this section.''.

Output: Financial Institution Customer Protection Act of 2014 - Prohibits a federal banking agency from suggesting, requesting, or ordering a depository institution to terminate a specific customer account, or otherwise restrict or discourage it from entering into or maintaining a banking relationship with a specific customer, unless: (1) the agency has a material reason to do so, and (2) the reason is not based solely on reputation risk. Prescribes requirements for notice from the federal banking agency to the depository institution about such a customer account restriction or termination; but states that notice to the customer is not required.   Amends the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 to revise requirements for summoning witnesses and requiring production of books or other records the Attorney General deems relevant or material to a civil investigation in contemplation of a civil proceeding which may result in civil penalties for specified violations.

        Attorney General, an alien shall be arrested and detained

        Attorney General to arrest or detain an alien who is sentenced
        to a term of imprisonment until the alien is released from
        imprisonment, but parole, supervised release, probation, or
        possibility of arrest or further imprisonment is not a reason
        for the Attorney General to defer arrest and detention under
        this paragraph.''.
            (2) Effective date.--The amendments made by paragraph (1)
        shall apply to aliens who are in proceedings under the

        Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1226(c)(2)) is amended by adding at
        the end the following:
        ``The Attorney General may release an alien under this
        paragraph only on bond of at least $2,000 with security
        approved by, and containing conditions prescribed by, the
        Attorney General.''.
            (2) Effective date.--The amendment made by paragraph (1)
        shall apply to releases occurring on or after the date of the
        enactment of this Act.

Output:
Limits the waiver of inadmissibility for certain criminal aliens unlawfully present in the United States.
Makes an alien who has fraudulently misrepresented a material fact or obtained or sought to obtain immigration-related documents ineligible for a finding of good moral character under such Act.
Revises provisions respecting: (1) termination of continuous presence for purposes of cancellation of removal for certain offenses; and (2) detention and release of criminal aliens pending removal decision.

amended--

        the end of the 1-year period beginning on the date of the

        the appropriate Federal reserve bank to return to the member
        bank an amount equal to 2.5 percent of the paid-up capital
        stock and surplus of the member bank if, on the date of the
        enactment of this Act--

                of more than $10,000,000,000; or

                Reserve Act instead of one-half.
            (3) Member bank defined.--For purposes of this subsection,
        the term ``member bank'' has the meaning given that term under
        section 1 of the Federal Reserve Act.

Output: This bill amends the Federal Reserve Act to revise the formula for subscription of national banking associations to the stock of their regional Federal Reserve Bank. Instead of one-sixth of an association's subscription to be payable on call by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, a member bank shall pay one-twelfth of its subscription when the Federal Reserve Board directs, and the remainder subject to the call of the Board. If a member bank has total consolidated assets of $10 billion or less, however, it may elect to pay one-half of its subscription instead of one-twelfth, but only once, and only within the first year after it becomes a member bank. The bill makes similar revisions to the formula for an increase in a member bank's capital stock or surplus. The Board may only call the subscription of a member bank if the aggregate amount of surplus funds of the Federal Reserve Banks is exhausted. A member bank may elect to have called amounts returned to it if the aggregate amount of surplus funds of the Federal Reserve Banks is $1 billion or more. The Board shall make annually inflation adjustments to the dollar amounts of total consolidated assets specified in the Act and in this bill to reflect the change in the Gross Domestic Product Price Index, published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the Department of Commerce.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Human Trafficking Prioritization
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The International Labor Organization estimates that
        nearly 21 million people are subjected to modern slavery around
        the world at any given time and that the majority of the
        enslaved are women and girls.
            (2) Congress authorized the creation of a Department of
        State Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons in
        the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (Division A of
        Public Law 106-386) in order to directly assist the Secretary
        of State in his or her effort to coordinate a United States
        Government interagency response to domestic and international
        trafficking in persons.
            (3) The Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons
        monitors trafficking worldwide and produces the online and
        printed versions of the annual Trafficking in Persons Report,
        which is Congress' primary resource for human trafficking
        reporting, analysis, and recommendations on the United States
        and 186 countries around the world.
            (4) The annual Trafficking in Persons Report contains tier
        rankings of each country on which it reports, and these tier
        rankings have become an essential diplomatic tool for promoting
        protection for victims, prevention of trafficking, and
        prosecution of perpetrators.
            (5) Some countries have openly stated, and many others have
        confided, that dramatic improvements in the country's human
        trafficking record were directly related to avoidance of a low
        tier ranking in the annual Trafficking in Persons Report.
            (6) Ambassador Mark Lagon, former Ambassador-at-Large to
        Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (2007-2009),
        testified before the Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health,
        Global Human Rights, and International Organizations of the
        Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives on
        April 18, 2013, that ``[T]he State Department does a tremendous
        job in producing a report which tells it like it is, offering
        objective rankings. Yet at times it pulls punches, typically
        due to the urging of regional specialists rather than the TIP
        Office's dedicated experts on trafficking.''.
            (7) Ambassador John Miller, former Ambassador-at-Large to
        Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (2002-2006), recently
        stated that, ``Upgrading the status of the Office to a Bureau
        will not create additional bureaucracy--it will simply give
        JTIP and the Ambassador-at-Large who heads it equal standing
        with regional and functional bureaus at the State Department.
        That standing is absolutely essential for the issue to remain a
        priority, especially when multiple U.S. interests are
        engaged.''.
            (8) The tier ranking process authorized by Congress in the
        Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 has been in some
        instances compromised by the Office to Monitor and Combat
        Trafficking subordinate stature within the Department of State.
            (9) It is essential for Congress and the Secretary of State
        to be accurately informed regarding United States and foreign
        country successes and failures in the fight against human
        trafficking.
            (10) The diplomatic power and credibility of the
        Trafficking in Persons Report is based on rigorous scholarship
        and scrupulous application of the minimum standards for the
        elimination of human trafficking and is undermined by
        political, rather than factual, tier rankings.
            (11) Strong and effective anti-slavery policy requires that
        officials from the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking
        have equal hierarchical standing with State Department regional
        bureaus and direct access to the Secretary of State.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking of the
        Department of State will be more effective in carrying out
        duties mandated by Congress in the Trafficking Victims
        Protection Act of 2000 if the Office status is changed to that
        of a Bureau within the Department hierarchy;
            (2) the change in status from Office to Monitor and Combat
        Trafficking to a Bureau can be accomplished without increasing
        the number of personnel or the budget of the current Office;
            (3) a Bureau to Monitor and Combat Trafficking would be
        more effective in carrying out duties mandated by Congress in
        the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 if the Bureau
        were headed by an Assistant Secretary with direct access to the
        Secretary of State, rather than an Ambassador-at-Large; and
            (4) the Secretary of State should review the current use of
        the 24 Assistant Secretary positions authorized by section
        1(c)(1) of the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956
        (22 U.S.C. 2651a(c)(1)) and make appropriate revisions,
        consolidations, and eliminations, to ensure that those
        positions reflect the highest Departmental needs and foreign
        policy priorities of the United States, including efforts to
        combat trafficking in persons.

SEC. 4. BUREAU TO COMBAT TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS.

    (a) In General.--Section 105(e) of the Trafficking Victims
Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7103(e)) is amended--

            (3) in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2), by striking
        ``Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking'' and inserting
        ``Bureau to Combat Trafficking in Persons''.
    (b) Reference.--Any reference in the Trafficking Victims Protection
Act of 2000 or in any other Act to the Office to Monitor and Combat
Trafficking shall be deemed to be a reference to the Bureau to Combat
Trafficking in Persons.

              COMBAT TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS.

    Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act,

            (1) for each current Assistant Secretary of State
        position--

                    (B) how long that particular Assistant Secretary
                designation has been in existence; and

                designation was legislatively mandated or authorized
                and, if so, the relevant statutory citation for such

        Assistant Secretary of State positions authorized by section
        1(c)(1) of the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956
        (22 U.S.C. 2651a(c)(1)) as the Assistant Secretary of State to

SEC. 6. COUNTRIES ON SPECIAL WATCH LIST FOR 4 CONSECUTIVE YEARS THAT
              ARE DOWNGRADED AND REINSTATED ON SPECIAL WATCH LIST.

    Section 110(b)(2) of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000
(22 U.S.C. 7107(b)(2)) is amended by adding at the end the following:
                    ``(F) Countries on special watch list for 4
                consecutive years that are downgraded and reinstated on
                special watch list.--Notwithstanding subparagraphs (D)
                and (E), a country that--
                            ``(i) was included on the special watch
                        list described in subparagraph (A) for 4
                        consecutive years after the date of the
                        enactment of the William Wilberforce
                        Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization

                list described in subparagraph (A) for more than 1
                consecutive year.''.

SEC. 7. COST LIMITATION.

    No additional funds are authorized to be appropriated for
``Diplomatic and Consular Programs'' to carry out the provisions of
this Act.

Output: Human Trafficking Prioritization Act This bill expresses the sense of Congress that the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking of the Department of State will be more effective in carrying out duties mandated by Congress in the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 and can do so without an increase in either personnel or budget, if: (1) the Office's status is changed to that of a Bureau within State; and (2) the Office is headed by an Assistant Secretary with direct access to the Secretary of State, rather than an Ambassador-at-Large. The bill amends the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 to change the status of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking to that of the Bureau to Combat Trafficking in Persons.  State must submit to Congress a report detailing:   for each current Assistant Secretary of State position, the exact title and length of designation as Assistant Secretary and whether that designation was legislatively mandated or authorized and, if so, the relevant statutory citation; and whether State intends to designate one of the Assistant Secretary of State positions as the Assistant Secretary of State to Combat Trafficking in Persons and the reasons for that decision.   The bill prohibits subsequent inclusion for more than one consecutive year on the special watch list of countries whose compliance with minimum standards for the elimination of human trafficking is full, partial, or insignificant of any country that:  was included on the list for four consecutive years after enactment of the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, and was subsequently included on the exclusive Tier 3 list of countries not making significant efforts to bring themselves into compliance with such standards.   No additional funds are authorized to be appropriated for diplomatic and consular programs to carry out this bill.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Child Support Assurance Act of
1994''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the number of single-parent households has increased
        significantly;
            (2) there is a high correlation between childhood poverty
        and growing up in a single-parent household;
            (3) family dissolution often brings the economic
        consequence of a lower standard of living for the custodian and
        children;
            (4) children are nearly twice as likely to be in poverty
        after a family dissolution as before a family dissolution;
            (5) one-fourth of the single mothers who are owed child
        support receive none and another one-fourth of such mothers
        receive only partial child support payments;
            (6) single mothers above and below the poverty line are
        equally likely to receive none of the child support they are
        owed; and
            (7) the failure of children to receive an adequate level of
        child support limits the ability of such children to thrive and
        to develop their potential and leads to long-term societal
        costs in terms of health care, welfare, and loss in labor force
        productivity.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to enable participating
States to establish child support assurance systems in order to improve
the economic circumstances of children who do not receive a minimum
level of child support from the noncustodial parents of such children
and to strengthen the establishment and enforcement of child support
awards. The child support assurance approach is structured on a
demonstration basis in order to implement and evaluate different
options with respect to the provision of intensive support services and
mechanisms for administering the program on a national basis.

SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT OF CHILD SUPPORT ASSURANCE DEMONSTRATION
              PROJECTS.

    (a) In General.--In order to encourage States to provide a
guaranteed minimum level of child support for every eligible child not
receiving such support, the Secretary of Health and Human Services
(hereafter in this section referred to as the ``Secretary'') shall make
grants to not more than 6 States to conduct demonstration projects for
the purpose of establishing or improving a system of assured minimum
child support payments in accordance with this section.
    (b) Contents of Application.--An application for grants under this
section shall be submitted by the Governor of a State and shall--
            (1) contain a description of the proposed child support
        assurance project to be established, implemented, or improved
        using amounts provided under this section, including the level
        of the assured benefit to be provided, the specific activities
        to be undertaken, and the agencies that will be involved;
            (2) specify whether the project will be carried out
        throughout the State or in limited areas of the State;
            (3) estimate the number of children who will be eligible
        for assured minimum child support payments under the project,
        and the amounts to which they will be entitled on average as
        individuals and in the aggregate;
            (4) describe the child support guidelines and review
        procedures which are in use in the State and any expected
        modifications;
            (5) contain a commitment by the State to carry out the
        project during a period of not less than 3 and not more than 5
        consecutive fiscal years beginning with fiscal year 1996;
            (6) contain assurances that the State--
                    (A) is currently at or above the national median
                paternity establishment rate (as defined in section
                452(g)(2) of the Social Security Act),
                    (B) will improve the performance of the agency
                designated by the State to carry out the requirements
                under part D of title IV of the Social Security Act by
                at least 4 percent each year in which the State
                operates a child support assurance project under this
                section in--
                            (i) the number of cases in which paternity
                        is established when required;
                            (ii) the number of cases in which child
                        support orders are obtained; and
                            (iii) the number of cases with child
                        support orders in which collections are made;
                        and
                    (C) to the maximum extent possible under current
                law, will use Federal, State, and local job training
                assistance to assist individuals who have been
                determined to be unable to meet such individuals' child
                support obligations;
            (7) describe the extent to which multiple agencies,
        including those responsible for administering the Aid to
        Families With Dependent Children Program under part A of title
        IV of the Social Security Act and child support collection,
        enforcement, and payment under part D of such title, will be
        involved in the design and operation of the child support
        assurance project; and
            (8) contain such other information as the Secretary may
        require by regulation.
    (c) Use of Funds.--A State shall use amounts provided under a grant
awarded under this section to carry out a child support assurance
project designed to provide a minimum monthly child support benefit for
each eligible child in the State to the extent that such minimum child
support is not paid in a month by the noncustodial parent.
    (d) Requirements.--(1) A child support assurance project funded
under this section shall provide that--
            (A) any child (as defined in paragraph (2)) with a living
        noncustodial parent for whom a child support order has been
        sought (as defined in paragraph (3)) or obtained and any child
        who meets ``good cause'' criteria for not seeking or enforcing
        a support order is eligible for the assured child support
        benefit;
            (B) the assured child support benefit shall be paid
        promptly to the custodial parent at least once a month and
        shall be--
                    (i) an amount determined by the State which is--
                            (I) not less than $1,500 per year for the
                        first child, $1,000 per year for the second
                        child, and $500 per year for the third and each
                        subsequent child, and
                            (II) not more than $3,000 per year for the
                        first child and $1,000 per year for the second
                        and each subsequent child;
                    (ii) offset and reduced to the extent that the
                custodial parent receives child support in a month from
                the noncustodial parent;
                    (iii) indexed and adjusted for inflation; and
                    (iv) in the case of a family of children with
                multiple noncustodial parents, calculated in the same
                manner as if all such children were full siblings, but
                any child support payment from a particular
                noncustodial parent shall only be applied against the
                assured child support benefit for the child or children
                of that particular noncustodial parent;
            (C) for purposes of determining the need of a child or
        relative and the level of assistance, one-half of the amount
        received as a child support payment shall be disregarded from
        income until the total amount of child support and Aid to
        Families With Dependent Children benefit received under part A
        of title IV of the Social Security Act equals the Federal
        poverty level for a family of comparable size;
            (D) in the event that the family as a whole becomes
        ineligible for Aid to Families With Dependent Children under
        part A of the Social Security Act due to consideration of
        assured child support benefits, the continuing eligibility of
        the caretaker for Aid to Families With Dependent Children under
        such title shall be calculated without consideration of the
        assured child support benefit; and
            (E) in order to participate in the child support assurance
        project, the child's caretaker shall apply for services of the
        State's child support enforcement program under part D of title
        IV of the Social Security Act.
    (2) For purposes of this section, the term ``child'' means an
individual who is of such an age, disability, or educational status as
to be eligible for child support as provided for by the law of the
State in which such individual resides.
    (3) For purposes of this section, a child support order shall be
deemed to have been ``sought'' where an individual has applied for
services from the State agency designated by the State to carry out the
requirements of part D of title IV of the Social Security Act or has
sought a child support order through representation by private or
public counsel or pro se.
    (e) Consideration and Priority of Applications.--(1) The Secretary
shall consider all applications received from States desiring to
conduct demonstration projects under this section and shall approve not
more than 6 applications which appear likely to contribute
significantly to the achievement of the purpose of this section. In
selecting States to conduct demonstration projects under this section,
the Secretary shall--
            (A) ensure that the applications selected represent a
        diversity of minimum benefits distributed throughout the range
        specified in subsection (d)(1)(B)(i);
            (B) consider the geographic dispersion and variation in
        population of the applicants;
            (C) give priority to States the applications of which
        demonstrate--
                    (i) significant recent improvements in--
                            (I) establishing paternity and child
                        support awards,
                            (II) enforcement of child support awards,
                        and
                            (III) collection of child support payments;
                    (ii) a record of effective automation; and
                    (iii) that efforts will be made to link child
                support systems with other service delivery systems;
            (D) ensure that the proposed projects will be of a size
        sufficient to obtain a meaningful measure of the effects of
        child support assurance;
            (E) give priority, first, to States intending to operate a
        child support assurance project on a statewide basis, and,
        second, to States that are committed to phasing in an expansion
        of such project to the entire State, if interim evaluations
        suggest such expansion is warranted; and
            (F) ensure that, if feasible, the States selected use a
        variety of approaches for child support guidelines.
    (2) Of the States selected to participate in the demonstration
projects conducted under this section, the Secretary shall require, if
feasible--
            (A) that at least 2 provide intensive integrated social
        services for low-income participants in the child support
        assurance project, for the purpose of assisting such
        participants in improving their employment, housing, health,
        and educational status; and
            (B) that at least 2 have adopted the Uniform Interstate
        Family Support Act.
