Output: Economic Mobility for Productive Livelihoods and Expanding Opportunity Act of 2016 or the EMPLEO Act This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to require every employer to pay to each of his or her eligible Puerto Rican employees who in any workweek are engaged in commerce and who receive qualified wage subsidy payments minimum wages of $5.00 an hour, determined without regard to those wage subsidy payments.  The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to treat certain employers who make qualified wage subsidy payments to eligible Puerto Rico employees as having paid payroll taxes in an amount equal to the wage subsidy payment.  An “eligible Puerto Rico employee” is any individual who: (1) is a U.S. citizen, (2) has a Social Security number, and (3) certifies to the employer that he or she is a resident of Puerto Rico and intends to remain a resident for at least the next six months.   A “qualified wage subsidy payment” is a payment equal to 50% of the excess (if any) of: (1) the median hourly wage for Puerto Rico ($10 for 2017 and 2018), over (2) the hourly wage paid to the eligible Puerto Rico employee.  The bill sets forth reporting requirements for participating employers and requirements for determining the median hourly wage for Puerto Rico after 2018.

2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The most fundamental right accorded to United States
        citizens by the Constitution is the right to vote, and
        unimpeded exercise of the right to vote is essential to the
        functioning of our democracy.
            (2) Historically, significant efforts have been undertaken
        to prevent qualified individuals from exercising this right.
            (3) Poll taxes, property requirements, and literacy tests
        were once used to restrict voters' access to the polls. Now,
        efforts like deceptive practices, intimidation, and dirty
        tricks are used to impede qualified voters' exercise of their
        right to vote, to prevent voters from making informed decisions
        as to how to cast that vote, and to prevent candidates,
        parties, and organizations from engaging in constitutionally
        protected political speech.
            (4) In recent elections, there have been allegations of
        political campaigns and committees using telephone jamming
        techniques to shut down the communication operations of groups
        supporting their political opponents.
            (5) In November 2002, according to the Department of
        Justice, groups working on behalf of the Republican candidates
        in New Hampshire conspired to shut down Democratic get-out-the-
        vote efforts by placing hang-up calls to the phones of the
        Manchester Democratic Party and the Manchester Professional
        Firefighters Association, which were providing qualified voters
        rides to the election polling places. Several people have pled
        guilty or been convicted in connection with the incident.
            (6) As a result of the hang-up call effort, the phone lines
        of the Manchester Democratic Party and the Manchester
        Professional Firefighters Association were jammed on election
        day 2002 and qualified voters were unable to access information
        that would have facilitated their access to polling places.
            (7) The use of telephones or other communication devices to
        jam election-related communications should be prohibited in
        order to protect qualified voters' right to vote.

                    ``(C) the facilitation of transport to or from
                polling places for any such election.''.
    (b) Private Right of Action.--Section 223 of the Communications Act
of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 223) is amended by adding at the end the following
new subsection:
    ``(i) Private Right of Action for Injunctive or Declarative Relief
Against Certain Actions.--Any person aggrieved by a violation of

offer the applicant serves written notice that the offer is accepted,
either party may then file the offer and notice of acceptance together
with proof of service thereof.
    ``(2) An offer not accepted shall be deemed withdrawn. The fact
that an offer is made but not accepted shall not preclude a subsequent
offer. If any award of fees and expenses for the merits of the
proceeding finally obtained by the applicant is not more favorable than
the offer, the applicant shall not be entitled to receive an award for
attorneys' fees or other expenses incurred in relation to the
application for fees and expenses after the date of the offer.''.
            (2) Judicial proceedings.--Section 2412 of title 28, United

                justified shall be determined on the basis of the
                record (including the record with respect to the action
                or failure to act by the agency upon which the civil

SEC. 4. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On May 30, 2007, President George W. Bush announced his
        intent to double the commitment of the United States to fight
        global HIV/AIDS with a new $30,000,000,000, 5-year proposal to
        reauthorize the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS,
        Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003.
            (2) With the enactment of the President's fiscal year 2008
        budget, the United States Government will have committed
        $18,000,000,000 to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS
        Relief (PEPFAR), which exceeds the original 5-year,
        $15,000,000,000 commitment.
            (3) After 3 years of PEPFAR implementation, the American
        people have supported treatment of 1,100,000 people in the 15
        focus countries, including more than 1,000,000 people in
        Africa.
            (4) PEPFAR is on track to meet its 5-year goals to support
        treatment for 2,000,000 people, prevention of 7,000,000 new
        infections, and care for 10,000,000 people, including orphans
        and vulnerable children.
            (5) The success of PEPFAR is rooted in support for country-
        owned strategies and programs with commitment of resources and
        dedication to results, achieved through the power of
        partnerships with governments, with nongovernmental, faith-
        based, and community-based organizations, and with the private
        sector.
            (6) United States efforts to address global HIV/AIDS will
        be multiplied by engaging in partnerships with countries
        dedicating to fighting their HIV epidemics and with
        multilateral partners, such as the Global Fund, which can help
        leverage international resources and build upon the efforts of
        the United States to combat global HIV/AIDS. In his
        announcement of his intent to double the commitment of the
        United States to fight global HIV/AIDS, President Bush
        reiterated his call for developed and developing countries, in
        particular middle-income countries where projections suggest
        many new infections will occur, to increase their contributions
        to fighting AIDS. HIV/AIDS is a global crisis that requires a
        global response. The United States currently provides as many
        resources for global HIV/AIDS as all other developed country
        governments combined. But only together can we turn the tide
        against the global epidemic.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to expand PEPFAR,
including the expansion of life-saving treatment, comprehensive
prevention programs, and care for those in need, including orphans and
vulnerable children, in the next 5-year period as a signal of the
commitment of the United States to support, strengthen, and expand
United States and global efforts to address these health crises in
partnership with others.

SEC. 5. UNITED STATES FINANCIAL PARTICIPATION IN THE GLOBAL FUND.

    (a) Authority To Increase Proportional Support.--Section 202(d) of
the Act (22 U.S.C. 7622(d)) is amended by adding at the end the
following new paragraph:
            ``(5) Authority to increase proportional support.--
                    ``(A) Findings.--Congress makes the following
                findings:
                            ``(i) The Global Fund to Fight AIDS,
                        Tuberculosis and Malaria is an innovative
                        financing mechanism to combat the three
                        diseases, and it has made progress in many
                        areas.
                            ``(ii) The United States Government is the
                        largest supporter of the Fund, both in terms of
                        resources and technical support.
                            ``(iii) The United States made the founding
                        contribution to the Funds, remains committed to
                        the original vision for the Fund, and is fully
                        committed to its success.
                    ``(B) Authority.--The President may increase
                proportional support for the Fund, within the amount
                authorized to be appropriated by this Act, if
                benchmarks for performance, accountability, and
                transparency are satisfactorily met, and if the Fund
                remains committed to its founding principles. The
                United States Global AIDS Coordinator should consider
                the benchmarks set forth in subparagraphs (C) and (D)
                in assessing whether to make the annual contribution of
                the United States Government to the Fund.
                    ``(C) Benchmarks related to transparency and
                accountability.--Increased proportional support for the
                Fund should be based upon achievement of the following

                        performance of Local Fund Agents (LFAs), is
                        undertaking a systematic assessment of the
                        performance of LFAs, and is making available
                        for public review, according to the Fund

                Increased proportional support for the Fund should be
                based upon achievement of the following benchmarks

                        a financing institution.

                        confirmed pledges to cover the full amount of
                        new grants before the Board approves them.

                        progress on sustaining its multi-sectoral
                        approach, through Country Coordinating
                        Mechanisms (CCMs) and in the implementation of
                        grants, as reflected in percent and resources
                        allocated to different sectors, including
                        governments, civil society, and faith- and
                        community-based organizations.''.
    (b) Extension of Authorization.--Section 202(d) of such Act is
further amended by striking ``2008'' each place it appears and
