SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Global Autism Assistance Act of
2008''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) In February 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and
        Prevention released data indicating that--
                    (A) the occurrence of autism spectrum disorders
                (ASD) increased between 1996 and 2006 from an estimated
                1 in 500 to an estimated 1 in 150; and
                    (B) the behaviors of children who were classified
                as suffering from ASD were consistent with the DSM-IV-
                TR criteria for Autistic Disorder, Asperger's Disorder,
                and Pervasive Developmental Disorder--Not Otherwise
                Specified.
            (2) Autism is a complex neurological disorder that affects
        individuals in the areas of social interaction and
        communication. Because autism is a spectrum disorder, it
        affects each individual differently and to varying degrees of
        severity.
            (3) People afflicted with autism process and respond to
        information in unique ways. In some cases, coexisting medical
        issues may be present and aggressive or self-injurious behavior
        may occur.
            (4) The increased number of children diagnosed with autism
        is a growing and urgent concern for families, healthcare
        professionals, and educators. Health and education systems
        struggle to respond to the needs of the autistic population in
        a comprehensive manner.
            (5) The prevalence of autism in developing countries is
        growing rapidly. Health and education systems in these
        countries are particularly ill-equipped to deal with the issues
        surrounding this growth. According to expert estimates, there
        are approximately 2,500,000 people with an autism spectrum
        disorder in China and approximately 2,000,000 with such
        disorder in India. Although reliable statistics are difficult
        to come by, a large number of these people are believed to be
        children.
            (6) Children with autism who receive intensive and
        appropriate educational services before 5 years of age often
        make significant functional improvements. In the United States,
        significant efforts are being pursued to expand early diagnosis
        and the provision of these services.
            (7) In a November 2007 report on the identification,
        evaluation, and management of children with autism, the
        American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that all children
        should be screened twice for autism before 2 years of age, even
        if the children have no recognizable symptoms.
            (8) Early screening and services for autism are sorely
        lacking in most of the developing world. United States
        expertise could be used to significantly aid children and
        families in developing countries for relatively small costs.

SEC. 3. AUTISM DEFINED.

    In this Act, the term ``autism'' means all conditions consistent
with the autism spectrum disorders described in section 2(1).

                contraindications, and any advisements to consult
                promptly with a licensed physician; and

                consumers through in-person transactions, by mail, or

        findings under section 510(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and

        counter hearing aids (as defined in section 520(p) of the
        Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360j), as
        amended by subsection (a)) require a report under section
        510(k) to provide reasonable assurance of safety and
        effectiveness.
            (4) Effect on state law.--No State or local government
        shall establish or continue in effect any law, regulation,

        distribution of over-the-counter hearing aids (as defined in
        section 520(p) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21
        U.S.C. 360j), as amended by subsection (a)) through in-person

        addition to, or otherwise not identical to, the regulations
        promulgated under this subsection, including any State or local
        requirement for the supervision, prescription, or other order,
        involvement, or intervention of a licensed person for consumers
        to access over-the-counter hearing aids.

regulations are issued under subsection (b), the Secretary shall update
and finalize the draft guidance of the Department of Health and Human
Services entitled, ``Regulatory Requirements for Hearing Aid Devices

on the basis of claims or other marketing, advertising, or labeling
material, meet the definition of a device in section 201 of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321) and which products meet
the definition of a personal sound amplification product, as set forth
in such guidance.

Output: Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017 This bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to categorize certain hearing aids as over-the-counter hearing aids and issue regulations regarding those hearing aids. The regulations for over-the-counter hearing aids must: (1) provide reasonable assurances of safety and efficacy; (2) establish output limits and labeling requirements; and (3) describe requirements for the sale of hearing aids in-person, by mail, or online, without a prescription. State and local governments may not establish or continue in effect requirements specifically applicable to hearing products that are not identical to FDA requirements and that restrict or interfere with the servicing or sale of over-the-counter hearing aids. The FDA must update and finalize its draft guidance on hearing products. The guidance must clarify which products are medical devices.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) in the early 1980s, James Doyle, doing business as
        Rocky Mountain Ventures and Environmental Land Technologies,
        Ltd., began assembling land for a massive real estate
        development in the rapidly growing St. George area of Utah;
            (2) the centerpieces of this development were 9 golf
        courses surrounded by luxury homes;
            (3) during the 1980s, James Doyle acquired 2,440 acres and
        held preferential rights to an additional 11,000 acres for this
        development;
            (4) throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s, James Doyle
        invested large amounts of money to acquire and develop this
        land, including--
                    (A) procuring the water rights and engineering
                studies;
                    (B) developing proposals and designs for
                transportation corridors;
                    (C) constructing 1 golf course and designing nine
                more;
                    (D) developing utility layouts and placements;
                    (E) installing necessary sewer, water, and power
                for the various properties; and
                    (F) securing all necessary zoning adjustments and
                development permissions;
            (5) with planning and preparation essentially complete by
        1989, James Doyle was prepared to break ground for the initial
        phase of his project;
            (6) on April 2, 1990, the United States Fish and Wildlife
        Service published a final rule listing the Mojave population of
        the desert tortoise as ``threatened'' under the Endangered
        Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.);
            (7) on February 8, 1994, the United States Fish and
        Wildlife Service published a final rule designating all of
        James Doyle's land as critical habitat for the Mojave
        population of the desert tortoise;
            (8) the listing of the desert tortoise and designation of
        James Doyle's land as critical habitat for the tortoise made
        James Doyle's planned land development, as well as that of
        other nearby lands, unlawful without the issuance of an
        incidental take permit by the United States Fish and Wildlife
        Service;
            (9) in response to the designation, James Doyle, as a
        member of the Habitat Conservation Plan Steering Committee,
        worked with other landowners, as well as Federal, State, and
        county officials, to create a Habitat Conservation Plan
        covering Washington County that would have allowed James Doyle
        to develop a portion of his land;
            (10) the United States Fish and Wildlife Service rejected
        the plan, stating that the plan set aside insufficient land to
        protect the tortoise;
            (11) James Doyle and the Steering Committee prepared a
        revised Habitat Conservation Plan, which the United States Fish
        and Wildlife Service approved on February 23, 1996;
            (12) the approved Habitat Conservation Plan allowed the
        development of 350,000 acres of tortoise habitat, and set aside
        61,022 acres, including all of James Doyle's land, as protected
        tortoise habitat reserve where no development was allowed;
            (13) to this end, the Habitat Conservation Plan expressly
        provided that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service would
        issue no incidental take permits for desert tortoises on
        reserve lands;
            (14) in return for placing the land in the tortoise
        reserve, the United States promised that it would acquire title
        to all of the private land, including James Doyle's, by
        exchange or purchase at fair market value;
            (15) despite extensive negotiations, the United States
        acquired only about 400 acres of James Doyle's land for the
        tortoise reserve, leaving the remainder of his acreage vacant
        and unproductive;
            (16) as the years passed, James Doyle's inability to
        develop or sell this remaining acreage resulted in severe
        financial limitations, leaving him unable to service the
        mortgages he had incurred on the land to finance acquisition
        and development costs;
            (17) on March 30, 2004, unable to develop, exchange, or
        sell the land, in which James Doyle had invested millions of
        dollars, James Doyle was forced to seek bankruptcy protection;
            (18) in 2010, James Doyle completed, and the bankruptcy
        court approved, a plan under which James Doyle was required to
        transfer to his creditors all but 274 acres of his land, which
        he still owns but cannot develop;
            (19) in 2015, James Doyle filed suit in the United States
        Court of Federal Claims, seeking just compensation for the land
        that has served as a tortoise reserve since 1996, and was taken
        without compensation;
            (20) the United States Court of Federal Claims dismissed
        James Doyle's claim, without prejudice, ruling that he must
        first seek and be denied a United States Fish and Wildlife
        Service permit to develop his land, even though it is within
        the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve where no development is allowed;
        and
            (21) the permit process would take several years and would
        be futile.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Teaching Children to Save Lives Act
of 2011''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the
        United States.
            (2) Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in
        young athletes.
            (3) Sudden cardiac arrest kills an estimated 5,000 to 7,000
        children and young people per year--nearly 20 per day.
            (4) The American Heart Association estimates that the lives
        of 40,000 cardiac arrest victims could be saved each year
        through initiating a course of action known as the chain of
        survival.
            (5) The chain of survival includes prompt notification of
        emergency services and early cardiopulmonary resuscitation
        (hereinafter referred to as ``CPR''), defibrillation, and
        advanced cardiac life support.
            (6) Only 36 States have a law or curriculum standard
        encouraging CPR or automated external defibrillator
        (hereinafter referred to as ``AED'') training in schools.
            (7) A person experiencing sudden cardiac arrest has a 90
        percent chance of survival if CPR and an AED is used within the
        first minute after collapse.
            (8) Over 64 percent of young athletes and others have
        survived sudden cardiac arrest that occurred in a high school
        with an AED program.
            (9) An important part of school children's education is
        learning healthy behaviors, including proper nutrition and
        physical activity. This health education should also include
        basic emergency life-saving skills.
            (10) Teaching school children to perform the life-saving
        skill of CPR, identify and respond to choking victims, and
        recognize the signs of stroke and heart attack can improve
        their confidence in responding to an emergency and encourage
        continued efforts to update these skills after graduation,
        thereby potentially reducing the rate of death from sudden
        cardiac arrest, choking, and stroke.
