SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Animal Disease Risk Assessment,
Prevention, and Control Act of 2001''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) it is in the interest of the United States to maintain
        healthy livestock herds;
            (2) managing the risks of foot and mouth disease, bovine
        spongiform encephalopathy, and related diseases in the United
        States may require billions of dollars for remedial activities
        by consumers, producers, and distributors of meat and blood
        products;
            (3) the potential introduction of those diseases into the
        United States would cause devastating financial losses to--
                    (A) the agriculture industry and other economic
                sectors; and
                    (B) United States trade in the affected animals and
                animal products;
            (4) foot and mouth disease is a severe and highly
        contagious viral infection affecting cattle, deer, goats,
        sheep, swine, and other animals;
            (5) the most effective means of eradicating foot and mouth
        disease is by the slaughter of affected animals;
            (6) while foot and mouth disease was eradicated in the
        United States in 1929, the virus could be reintroduced by--
                    (A) a single infected animal, an animal product, or
                a person carrying the virus;
                    (B) an act of terrorism; or
                    (C) other means;
            (7) once introduced, foot and mouth disease can spread
        quickly through--
                    (A) exposure to aerosols from infected animals;
                    (B) direct contact with infected animals; and
                    (C) contact with contaminated feed, equipment, or
                humans harboring the virus or carrying the virus on
                their clothing;
            (8) foot and mouth disease is endemic to more than \2/3\ of
        the world and is considered to be widespread in parts of
        Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America;
            (9) foot and mouth disease occurs in over 7 different
        serotypes and 60 subtypes;
            (10) as foot and mouth disease outbreaks have occurred, the
        United States has banned the importation of live ruminants and
        swine and many animal products from countries affected by foot
        and mouth disease;
            (11) recently, the United States has implemented bans in
        response to outbreaks in Argentina, the European Union, and
        Taiwan;
            (12) although United States exclusion programs have been
        successful at keeping foot and mouth disease out of the United
        States since 1929, recent outbreaks in Argentina, the European
        Union, and Taiwan are placing an unprecedented strain on our
        animal health system;
            (13) bovine spongiform encephalopathy is a transmissible,
        neuro-degenerative disease found in cattle;
            (14) in cattle with bovine spongiform encephalopathy, the
        active agent is found primarily in the brain and spinal cord
        and has not been found in commonly consumed beef products;
            (15) bovine spongiform encephalopathy is thought to have an
        incubation period of several years but is ultimately fatal to
        cattle within weeks of onset of the active disease;
            (16) bovine spongiform encephalopathy was first widely
        found in 1986 in cattle in the United Kingdom;
            (17) bovine spongiform encephalopathy-carrying cattle have
        been found in cattle in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany,
        Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Netherlands,
        Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland;
            (18) cattle infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy
        originating from the United Kingdom have been found and
        intercepted in Canada;
            (19) since 1989, the Secretary of Agriculture has
        prohibited the importation of live grazing animals from
        countries where bovine spongiform encephalopathy has been found
        in cattle;
            (20) other products derived from grazing animals, such as
        blood meal, bonemeal, fat, fetal bovine serum, glands, meat-
        and-bone meal, and offal, are prohibited from entry, except
        under special conditions or under permits issued by the
        Secretary of Agriculture for scientific or research purposes;
            (21) on December 12, 1997, the Secretary of Agriculture
        extended those restrictions to include all countries in Europe
        because of concerns about widespread risk factors and
        inadequate surveillance for bovine spongiform encephalopathy;
            (22) on December 7, 2000, the Secretary of Agriculture
        prohibited all imports of rendered animal protein products from
        Europe;
            (23) Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease is a human spongiform
        encephalopathy;
            (24) on March 20, 1996, the Spongiform Encephalopathy
        Advisory Committee of the United Kingdom announced the
        identification of 10 cases of a new variant of Creutzfeldt-
        Jacob disease;
            (25) all 10 patients developed onsets of the disease in
        1994 or 1995;
            (26) scientific experts (including scientists at the
        Department of Agriculture, the Department of Health and Human
        Services, and the World Health Organization) are studying the
        possible link (including potential routes of transmission)
        between bovine spongiform encephalopathy and variant
        Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease;
            (27) from October 1996 to December 2000, 87 cases of
        variant Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease have been reported in the
        United Kingdom, 3 cases in France, and 1 case in Ireland; and
            (28) to reduce the risk of human spongiform
        encephalopathies in the United States, the Commissioner of Food
        and Drugs has--
                    (A) banned individuals who lived in Great Britain
                for at least 180 days since 1980 from donating blood in
                the United States; and
                    (B) established regulations that prohibit the
                feeding of most animal-derived proteins to grazing
                animals.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to provide the people of
the United States and Congress with information concerning--
            (1) actions by Federal agencies to prevent foot and mouth
        disease, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, and related
        diseases;
            (2) the sufficiency of legislative authority to prevent or
        control foot and mouth disease, bovine spongiform
        encephalopathy, and related diseases in the United States;
            (3) the economic impacts associated with the potential
        introduction of foot and mouth disease, bovine spongiform
        encephalopathy, and related diseases into the United States;
        and
            (4) the risks to public health from possible links between
        bovine spongiform encephalopathy and other spongiform
        encephalopathies to human illnesses.

Economics Act of 2011'' or the ``College LIFE Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Student borrowing is widespread in higher education,
        and more than $100,000,000,000 in Federal education loans are
        originated each year. In 2008, 62 percent of recipients of a
        baccalaureate degree graduated with student debt.
            (2) Forty-eight percent of students at 4-year public
        institutions of higher education borrow money to pay for
        college, as do 57 percent of students at 4-year private
        institutions of higher education, and 96 percent of students at
        for-profit institutions of higher education.
            (3) In 2008, 92 percent of Black students, 85 percent of
        Hispanic students, 85 percent of American Indian/Alaska Native
        students, 82 percent of multi-racial students, 80 percent of
        Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander students, 77 percent of White
        students, and 68 percent of Asian students received financial
        aid.
            (4) Students depart from institutions of higher education
        with significant debt. In 2008, the average student loan debt
        among graduates of institutions of higher education was
        $23,186, and 1 in 10 recipients of a baccalaureate degree
        graduated with at least $40,000 in debt. In 2008, 57 percent of
        recipients of a baccalaureate degree from a for-profit
        institution of higher education owed more than $30,000, and the
        median amount of debt was $32,700. Since 2003, the average
        cumulative debt among students at institutions of higher
        education has increased by 5.6 percent each year.
            (5) Students enrolled in for-profit institutions of higher
        education account for 47 percent of all student loan defaults,
        despite representing approximately 10 percent of all students
        enrolled in institutions of higher education. Since 2003, the
        national cohort default rate has increased from 4.5 percent to
        7 percent.
            (6) Students rely on access to credit. Fifty-six percent of
        dependent students at institutions of higher education had a
        credit card in their own name in 2004. The average credit card
        balance among such students who were carrying a balance on
        their cards was $2,000.
            (7) According to the National Foundation for Credit
        Counseling, the majority of adults (56 percent of adults in the
        United States, or 127,000,000 people) do not have a budget or
        keep close track of expenses or spending.
            (8) According to a 2009 National Bankruptcy Research Center
        study, consumers who received financial education through pre-
        bankruptcy counseling had 27.5 percent fewer delinquent
        accounts and remained current on their accounts for 29 percent
        longer than consumers who did not receive such counseling.
            (9) According to the Financial Industry Regulatory
        Authority Investor Education Foundation, less than \1/3\ of
        young adults (ages 18 to 29) set aside emergency savings to
        weather unexpected financial challenges.
            (10) According to a Jump$tart Coalition for Personal
        Financial Literacy survey, 62 percent of high school students
        cannot pass a basic personal finance exam, and financial
        literacy scores among future higher education students are low.
            (11) According to research by the National Endowment for
        Financial Education and the University of Arizona, schools are
        the institutions that students trust most to help increase
        their knowledge of personal finance.

Output:
College Literacy in Finance and Economics Act of 2011 or College LIFE Act - Amends title IV (Student Assistance) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require institutions of higher education (IHEs) to provide student borrowers under the Federal Family Education Loan, Direct Loan, and Perkins Loan programs with financial literacy counseling within 45 days of their first receipt of such a loan and prior to the completion of their studies or when they leave school.

Requires student borrowers to receive at least four hours of counseling on each occasion.

Makes such counseling requirements inapplicable to borrowers of consolidation loans.

Requires financial literacy counseling to include information on student financial aid, banking, budgeting and saving, credit and debt management, credit cards and products, investing, credit scores, housing, taxes, and responsible financial decision making.

Directs the Secretary of Education to develop a curriculum that IHEs may use to fulfill this Act's requirements.
