Output: Small Cap Liquidity Reform Act of 2014 - Amends the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to establish a pilot liquidity program for equity securities of emerging growth companies (EGCs) with total annual gross revenues of less than $750 million, under which those securities shall be quoted using either: (1) a minimum increment of $0.05 or $0.10, or (2) the increment at which the securities would be quoted without regard to such minimum increments.  Repeals the requirement for an SEC study examining the transition to trading and quoting securities in one penny increments, known as decimalization. Directs the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to determine, in the case of an EGC whose securities are quoted at a minimum increment of either $0.05 or $0.10, the increment at which such securities are traded. Requires EGC securities quoted at a minimum increment of $0.05 or $0.10 to be traded at either such minimum increment or at one permitted by SEC regulations. Permits an EGC to opt out or change such minimum increment upon notifying the SEC 90 days after enactment of this Act. Limits any EGC to a single change of minimum increment (thus prohibiting any increases in the minimum). Requires the SEC, upon notification of an EGC election, to inform each trading venue where the EGC securities are quoted or traded. Requires that securities of issuers that cease to be EGCs be quoted at the increment at which such securities would be quoted without regard to the minimum increments established under this Act.  Prescribes pricing and trading procedures governing securities trading below $1.00. Directs the SEC to require an EGC under this Act to submit additional reports and disclosures. Shields an issuer from liability for losses caused solely by the quoting or trading of its securities at a minimum increment of $0.05 or $0.10, another SEC-authorized increment, or by both such quoting and trading. Directs the SEC to report biannually to Congress on: (1) the quoting and trading of securities in increments permitted by this Act, and (2) the extent to which such quoting and trading increases liquidity and active trading by incentivizing capital commitment, research coverage, and brokerage support.  Authorizes the SEC to: (1) make adjustments to the pilot program to ensure that it can provide statistically meaningful or reliable results, and (2) conduct any other study or pilot program to evaluate quoting or trading in various minimum increments. Sunsets the pilot program five years after enactment of this Act.

Output:
Public Safety Officers' Defense Act - Amends the Federal judicial code to deny a court, justice, or judge jurisdiction to consider any claim relating to the judgment or sentence in an application for a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of a person in custody pursuant to the judgment of a State court for killing a public safety officer, unless the applicant shows constitutional error or that the claim qualifies for consideration based on a new rule of constitutional law or a factual predicate that could not have been previously discovered. Directs that any such application presented to a court, justice, or judge other than a district court be transferred to the appropriate district court for consideration or dismissal, with an exception.

Sets forth requirements regarding time limits in: (1) district court (e.g., any motion by either party for an evidentiary hearing shall be filed and served not later than 90 days after the State files its answer); and (2) the court of appeals (e.g., the court shall decide the appeal from an order granting or denying a writ of habeas corpus not later than 120 days after the date on which the brief of the appellee is filed). Makes time limitations under this Act applicable to an initial application, a second or successive application, and any re-determination of an application or related appeal following a remand by the court of appeals or the Supreme Court for further proceedings.

                reasonable per-transaction charge for any withdrawal
                transaction described in subsection (a)(3) other than a
                transaction required under such subsection to be
                provided free; or
                    (B) the depository institution may impose the fees
                and charges normally applied to other consumer
                transaction accounts available at that depository

                accounts available at the depository institution.
    (c) Conditions for Opening Any Affordable Transaction Account.--An
insured depository institution may require as a condition for opening
or maintaining any affordable transaction account that--

        amount of any fee or charge imposed on a holder of any
        affordable transaction account by an insured depository
        institution for specific services provided to such account

        such account may not exceed the fee or charge imposed by the
        depository institution for providing the same services in
        connection with other consumer transaction accounts offered by
        the depository institution.
    (e) Affordable Transaction Accounts Not Required for Individuals
Who Maintain Other Transaction Accounts.--An insured depository
institution shall not be required to permit any person to open or
maintain an affordable transaction account pursuant to this section if
such person maintains another consumer transaction account either at
that depository institution or any other insured depository
institution.
    (f) Alternative Arrangements.--In lieu of the affordable
transaction account required by this section, an insured depository
institution may make available an alternative form of account or other
banking services if the appropriate Federal banking agency determines
that such alternative form of account or services are at least as
advantageous to consumers as the affordable transaction account.
    (g) Disclosure Requirements.--
            (1) Posted notices.--If an insured depository institution
        posts in the public area of any office of the institution a
        notice of the availability of other consumer transaction
        accounts, the depository institution shall also post equally
        conspicuous notice in such public area and in the same manner
        the availability of its affordable transaction accounts.
            (2) Printed material.--If an insured depository institution
        makes available in the public area of any office of the
        institution printed material describing the terms of its other

        also make comparable descriptive printed material concerning
        the affordable transaction accounts available in the same such
        area and in the same manner.
    (h) Definitions.--For purposes of this section, the following
definitions shall apply:
            (1) Consumer transaction account.--For purposes of this
        section, the term ``consumer transaction account'' means a
        demand deposit account, negotiable order of withdrawal account,
        share draft account, or any similar transaction account used
        primarily for personal, family or household purposes.
            (2) Depository institution.--The term ``depository
        institution'' has the same meaning as in section 19(b)(1)(A) of
        the Federal Reserve Act.
            (3) Federal banking agency.--The term ``Federal banking
        agency''--
                    (A) has the same meaning as in section 3(z) of the
                Federal Deposit Insurance Act; and
                    (B) includes the National Credit Union
                Administration Board.

                    (B) includes an insured credit union (as defined in
                section 101(7) of the Federal Credit Union Act).
    (i) Compliance With More Stringent State Law.--If a depository
institution operates in a State the laws of which, including
regulations, require a depository institution operating in such State
to meet requirements for affordable transaction accounts which are more
advantageous to the consumer than the requirements of this section or
the regulations prescribed under this section, such depository
institution may not be treated as a qualified depository institution
for purposes of section 19(b)(12) of the Federal Reserve Act, unless
such depository institution meets the requirements of this section and
the requirements of such State law.
    (j) Rule of Construction.--No provision of this section, title LXII
of the Revised Statutes of the United States, the Home Owners' Loan
Act, the Bank Enterprise Act of 1991, the Alternative Mortgage
Transaction Parity Act of 1982, or any other Federal law may be
construed as preempting, or providing any basis for the Comptroller of
the Currency or the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision to
conclude that Federal law in any way preempts, the law of any State
which requires depository institution operating in that State to
provide affordable transaction accounts, including the Omnibus Consumer
Protection and Banking Deregulation Act of 1994 of the State of New
York and the New Jersey Consumer Checking Account Act (as in effect on
the date of the enactment of this Act).
    (k) Coordination of Regulations.--Each Federal banking agency
shall--
            (1) consult and coordinate with other Federal banking
        agencies to ensure that regulations prescribed by each such
        agency are consistent with and comparable to the regulations
        prescribed by each other such agency; and
            (2) prescribe regulations in final form to implement this
        section before the end of the 6-month period beginning on the
        date of the enactment of this Act.

Authorizes alternative account arrangements.Requires notice of availability of affordable transaction accounts to be posted upon the premises in the same manner as the depository institution posts notice of its other account products.Mandates depository institution compliance with more stringent State law where applicable.

                            ``(i) the name of the person or entity on
                        whose behalf such solicitation is being made,
                        or the name of the person or entity making the
                        solicitation; and
                            ``(ii) a valid and working telephone number
                        at which the person or entity making such
                        solicitation or the person or entity on whose
                        behalf such solicitation was made may be
                        reached during regular business hours for the
                        purpose of requesting that the recipient of
                        such solicitation be placed on the do-not-call
                        list required under section 64.1200 of the
                        Commission's regulations (47 C.F.R. 64.1200) to
                        be maintained by the person making such
                        solicitation; and
                    ``(B) provide that any person or entity who
                receives a request from a person to be placed on such

                telephone number for any other telemarketing purpose
                (including transfer or sale to any other entity for
                telemarketing use) other than enforcement of such list.
            ``(3) Private right of action.--A person or entity may, if
        otherwise permitted by the laws or rules of court of a State,
        bring in an appropriate court of that State--
                    ``(A) an action based on a violation of this
                subsection or the regulations prescribed under this
                subsection to enjoin such violation;
                    ``(B) an action to recover for actual monetary loss
                from such a violation, or to receive $500 in damages
                for each such violation, whichever is greater; or
                    ``(C) both such actions.
        If the court finds that the defendant willfully or knowingly
        violated this subsection or the regulations prescribed under
        this subsection, the court may, in its discretion, increase the
        amount of the award to an amount equal to not more than 3 times
        the amount available under subparagraph (B).
            ``(4) Definitions.--In this subsection:
                    ``(A) Caller identification service.--The term
                `caller identification service' means any service or
                device designed to provide the user of the service or
                device with the telephone number of an incoming
                telephone call.
                    ``(B) Telephone call.--The term `telephone call'
                means any telephone call or other transmission which is
                made to or received at a telephone number of any type
of telephone service. Such term includes calls made by an automatic
telephone dialing system, an integrated services digital network, and a
commercial mobile radio source.''.
    (b) Delayed Effective Date.--
            (1) In general.--The regulations prescribed by the Federal
        Communications Commission under subsection (e) of section 227
        of the Communications Act of 1934, as added by subsection (a),
        shall take effect on the date that is two years after the date
        of the enactment of this Act.
            (2) Additional delay for good cause shown.--The Commission
        may grant a wavier from compliance with the regulations
        referred to in paragraph (1) for a period of not more than 24
        months upon application (made at such time, in such form, and
        containing such information as the Commission may require), and
        after notice to the public and an opportunity for comment, to
        any person who demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
        Commission that--
                    (A) it will comply with the regulations before the
                expiration of the period of time for which the waiver
                is requested;
                    (B) without the requested waiver, timely compliance
                with the regulations would be technically infeasible
                because of technical problems associated with the
                telecommunications equipment used by the applicant; and
                    (C) replacement or upgrading of the
                telecommunications equipment used by the applicant in
                order to comply with the regulations in a timely manner
                without the waiver--
                            (i) would impose an unduly onerous
                        financial burden on the applicant;
                            (ii) is not feasible because the equipment,
                        software, or technical assistance necessary for
                        the replacement or upgrade is not available; or
                            (iii) cannot be completed before the
                        effective date of the regulations.

SEC. 3. EFFECT ON STATE LAW AND STATE ACTIONS.

    (a) Effect on State Law.--Subsection (f)(1) of section 227 of the
Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 227), as redesignated by section
2 of this Act, is further amended--
            (1) in subparagraph (C), by striking ``or'' at the end;
            (2) in subparagraph (D), by striking the period and
        inserting ``; or''; and
            (3) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
                    ``(E) interfering with or circumventing caller
                identification services.''.
    (b) Actions by States.--The first sentence of subsection (g)(1) of
such section 227, as so redesignated, is further amended by inserting
after ``this section,'' the following: ``or has engaged or is engaging
in a pattern or practice of interfering with or circumventing caller
identification services of residents of that State in violation of
subsection (e) or the regulations prescribed under such subsection,''.

Output: Telemarketer Identification Act of 2001 - Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to make it unlawful for any person or entity making a commercial telephone solicitation to interfere with or circumvent a caller identification service. Provides a cause of action for a person or entity, or a State attorney general on behalf of its residents, for violations of such prohibition. Authorizes the FCC to grant a temporary waiver from compliance for good cause shown (technical infeasibility).
