SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Lamprey Wild and Scenic River Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the Lamprey River Study Act of 1991 (Public Law 102-
        214; 105 Stat. 1663) authorized the study of a segment of the
        Lamprey River in New Hampshire for potential inclusion in the
        National Wild and Scenic Rivers System;
            (2) the study determined that the segment of river from the
        Bunker Pond Dam in Epping, New Hampshire, to the confluence
        with the Piscassic River near the Durham-Newmarket town line is
        eligible for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers
        System based on the free-flowing condition and outstanding
        ecological, anadromous fish, and historical values of the
        segment;
            (3) during the study, the Lamprey River Advisory Committee,
        with assistance from the National Park Service and the New
        Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, prepared a
        comprehensive management plan for the studied river segment,
        dated January 10, 1995 (referred to in this Act as the
        ``Lamprey River Management Plan''), which establishes
        objectives, standards, and action programs that will ensure
        long-term protection of the outstanding values of the river and
        compatible management of the land and water resources of the
        river, without Federal management of affected lands not owned
        by the United States;
            (4) the Lamprey River Advisory Committee has unanimously
        voted in favor of wild and scenic river designation for the
        river, and has included this recommendation as an integral part
        of the Lamprey River Management Plan; and
            (5)(A) the governing bodies of the towns of Newmarket,
        Durham, and Lee have voted to endorse the Lamprey River
        Management Plan and to seek designation of the river as a
        component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System; and
            (B) the upstream town of Epping, which participated in the
        study on an informal basis, has chosen not to vote on the
        Lamprey River Management Plan or designation at this time.

SEC. 3. DESIGNATION.

    Section 3(a) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1274(a))

        Newmarket town line (referred to in this paragraph as the
        `segment') as a recreational river. The segment shall be
        administered by the Secretary of the Interior through
        cooperative agreements between the Secretary and the State of
        New Hampshire and the towns of Durham, Lee, and Newmarket, New
        Hampshire, under section 10(e). The segment shall be managed in
        accordance with the Lamprey River Management Plan dated January
        10, 1995, and such amendments to the plan as the Secretary of

              SECRETARY OF VETERANS AFFAIRS TO CERTAIN VETERANS.

    (a) In General.--Chapter 17 of title 38, United States Code, is
amended by inserting after section 1730A the following new section:
``Sec. 1730B. Examination and treatment for emergency medical
              conditions and women in labor
    ``(a) Medical Screening Examinations.--In carrying out this
chapter, if any enrolled veteran requests, or a request is made on
behalf of the veteran, for examination or treatment for a medical
condition, regardless of whether such condition is service-connected,
at a hospital emergency department of a medical facility of the
Department, the Secretary shall ensure that the veteran is provided an
appropriate medical screening examination within the capability of the
emergency department, including ancillary services routinely available
to the emergency department, to determine whether an emergency medical
condition exists.
    ``(b) Necessary Stabilizing Treatment for Emergency Medical
Conditions and Labor.--(1) If an enrolled veteran comes to a medical
facility of the Department and the Secretary determines that the
veteran has an emergency medical condition, the Secretary shall provide
either--
            ``(A) such further medical examination and such treatment
        as may be required to stabilize the medical condition; or
            ``(B) for the transfer of the veteran to another medical
        facility of the Department or a non-Department facility in
        accordance with subsection (c).
    ``(2) The Secretary is deemed to meet the requirement of paragraph
(1)(A) with respect to an enrolled veteran if the Secretary offers the
veteran the further medical examination and treatment described in such
paragraph and informs the veteran (or an individual acting on behalf of
the veteran) of the risks and benefits to the veteran of such
examination and treatment, but the veteran (or individual) refuses to
consent to the examination and treatment. The Secretary shall take all
reasonable steps to secure the written informed consent of such veteran
(or individual) to refuse such examination and treatment.
    ``(3) The Secretary is deemed to meet the requirement of paragraph
(1) with respect to an enrolled veteran if the Secretary offers to
transfer the individual to another medical facility in accordance with
subsection (c) of this section and informs the veteran (or an
individual acting on behalf of the veteran) of the risks and benefits
to the veteran of such transfer, but the veteran (or individual)
refuses to consent to the transfer. The hospital shall take all
reasonable steps to secure the written informed consent of such veteran
(or individual) to refuse such transfer.
    ``(c) Restriction of Transfers Until Veteran Stabilized.--(1) If an
enrolled veteran at a medical facility of the Department has an
emergency medical condition that has not been stabilized, the Secretary
may not transfer the veteran to another medical facility of the
Department or a non-Department facility unless--
            ``(A)(i) the veteran (or a legally responsible individual
        acting on behalf of the veteran), after being informed of the
        obligation of the Secretary under this section and of the risk
        of transfer, requests in writing a transfer to another medical
        facility;
            ``(ii) a physician has signed a certification (including a
        summary of the risks and benefits) that, based upon the
        information available at the time of transfer, the medical
        benefits reasonably expected from the provision of appropriate
        medical treatment at another medical facility outweigh the
        increased risks to the veteran and, in the case of labor, to
        the unborn child from effecting the transfer; or
            ``(iii) if a physician is not physically present in the
        emergency department at the time a veteran is transferred, a
        qualified medical person (as defined by the Secretary in
        regulations) has signed a certification described in clause
        (ii) after a physician, in consultation with the person, has
        made the determination described in such clause, and
        subsequently countersigns the certification; and
            ``(B) the transfer is an appropriate transfer as described
        in paragraph (2).
    ``(2) An appropriate transfer to a medical facility is a transfer--
            ``(A) in which the transferring medical facility provides
        the medical treatment within the capacity of the facility that
        minimizes the risks to the health of the enrolled veteran and,
        in the case of a woman in labor, the health of the unborn
        child;
            ``(B) in which the receiving facility--
                    ``(i) has available space and qualified personnel
                for the treatment of the veteran; and
                    ``(ii) has agreed to accept transfer of the veteran
                and to provide appropriate medical treatment;
            ``(C) in which the transferring facility sends to the
        receiving facility all medical records (or copies thereof),
        related to the emergency condition for which the veteran has
        presented, available at the time of the transfer, including
        records related to the emergency medical condition of the
        veteran, observations of signs or symptoms, preliminary
        diagnosis, treatment provided, results of any tests and the
        informed written consent or certification (or copy thereof)
        provided under paragraph (1)(A), and the name and address of
        any on-call physician (described in subsection (d)(1)(C) of
        this section) who has refused or failed to appear within a
        reasonable time to provide necessary stabilizing treatment;

        personnel and transportation equipment, as required including
        the use of necessary and medically appropriate life support
        measures during the transfer; and
            ``(E) that meets such other requirements as the Secretary
        may find necessary in the interest of the health and safety of
        veterans transferred.

affect any charges that the Secretary may collect from a veteran or
third party.
    ``(2) The Secretary shall treat any care provided by a non-
Department facility pursuant to this section as care otherwise provided
by a non-Department facility pursuant to this chapter for purposes of
paying such non-Department facility for such care.
    ``(e) Nondiscrimination.--A medical facility of the Department or a
non-Department facility, as the case may be, that has specialized
capabilities or facilities (such as burn units, shock-trauma units,
neonatal intensive care units, or (with respect to rural areas)
regional referral centers as identified by the Secretary in regulation)
shall not refuse to accept an appropriate transfer of an enrolled
veteran who requires such specialized capabilities or facilities if the
facility has the capacity to treat the veteran.
    ``(f) No Delay in Examination or Treatment.--A medical facility of
the Department or a non-Department facility, as the case may be, may
not delay provision of an appropriate medical screening examination
required under subsection (a) or further medical examination and
treatment required under subsection (b) of this section in order to
inquire about the method of payment or insurance status of an enrolled
veteran.
    ``(g) Whistleblower Protections.--The Secretary may not take
adverse action against an employee of the Department because the
employee refuses to authorize the transfer of an enrolled veteran with
an emergency medical condition that has not been stabilized or because
the employee reports a violation of a requirement of this section.

            ``(1) The term `emergency medical condition' means--
                    ``(A) a medical condition manifesting itself by
                acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe
                pain) such that the absence of immediate medical
                attention could reasonably be expected to result in--
                            ``(i) placing the health of the enrolled
                        veteran (or, with respect to an enrolled
                        veteran who is a pregnant woman, the health of
                        the woman or her unborn child) in serious

                        effect a safe transfer to another hospital
                        before delivery; or

                        the health or safety of the woman or the unborn
                        child.

        enrolled in the health care system established under section
        1705(a) of this title.

        emergency medical condition described in paragraph (1)(A), to
        provide such medical treatment of the condition as may be
        necessary to assure, within reasonable medical probability,
        that no material deterioration of the condition is likely to
        result from or occur during the transfer of the enrolled
        veteran from a facility, or, with respect to an emergency
        medical condition described in paragraph (1)(B), to deliver
        (including the placenta).

        or indirectly, with) the Department, but does not include such
        a movement of an individual who--

                any such person.''.
    (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections of such chapter is
amended by inserting after the item relating to section 1730A the
following new item:

``1730B. Examination and treatment for emergency medical conditions and
                            women in labor.''.

Output: Veterans Emergency Treatment Act or the VET Act This bill requires that a veteran enrolled in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care program who requests a medical examination or treatment at an emergency department of a VA medical facility be provided with a medical screening examination to determine whether an emergency medical condition exists and, if so, stabilizing medical treatment or a transfer to another VA or non-VA medical facility. If a non-stabilized emergency medical condition exists, the VA hospital may not transfer the veteran unless: (1) the veteran, after being made aware of the risks, makes a written transfer request; or (2) a physician (or a qualified medical person if a physician is not present) certifies that the medical benefits of a transfer outweigh the risks. The VA may not take adverse action against a VA employee because the employee refuses to authorize the transfer of an enrolled veteran with a non-stabilized emergency medical condition or because the employee reports a violation of a requirement of this bill.  A VA or non-VA medical facility may not delay provision of an appropriate medical screening examination or further medical examination and treatment required in order to inquire about the payment method or insurance status of an enrolled veteran.

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr., on January 17, 1942,
        in Louisville, Kentucky, Muhammad Ali was the first child of
        Cassius, Sr., and Odessa Clay.
            (2) Muhammad Ali was one of the most celebrated athletes of
        the 20th century. He produced some of America's greatest sports
        memories, from winning a gold medal at the 1960 Summer Olympics
        to lighting the Olympic torch at the 1996 Summer Olympics.
            (3) After an impressive amateur career, during which he
        recorded 131 wins and only 7 losses and won 2 National AAU
        light heavyweight titles, Muhammad Ali became the first
        professional boxer in history to capture the heavyweight title
        3 separate times.
            (4) Muhammad Ali defeated every challenger he faced in the
        ring. But, on April 28, 1967, he was stripped of his boxing
        title and barred from competing for being a conscientious
        objector to the war in Vietnam on religious and moral grounds.
        However, following a unanimous United States Supreme Court
        decision in 1971, Muhammad Ali's conscientious objector status
        was confirmed, his boxing license was reinstated, and he was
        cleared of any wrongdoing.
            (5) As an African-American and a Muslim who lived in an era
        that continued to question his civil rights, Muhammad Ali
        battled issues of race and religion, and received recognition
        as one of the champions of the Civil Rights Movement in the
        United States.
            (6) Muhammad Ali was the recipient of many awards for his
        sporting prowess and his support of racial harmony, including
        the Dr. Martin Luther King Memorial Award, the Spirit of
        America Award, the Amnesty International Lifetime Achievement
        Award, the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage, the Essence Living
        Legend Award, the Rainbow Coalition Lifetime Achievement Award,
        the XNBA Human Spirit Award, the Presidential Citizens Medal,
        and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
            (7) Muhammad Ali was acknowledged by many organizations for
        his achievements both inside and outside the boxing ring,
        including being crowned ``Sportsman of the Century'' by Sports
        Illustrated, being named ``Athlete of the Century'' by GQ
        magazine, being named ``Sports Personality of the Century'' by
        the British Broadcasting Corporation, being named ``Kentucky
        Athlete of the Century'' by the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame,
        being named ``Kentuckian of the Century'' by the State of
        Kentucky, being named ``Louisvillian of the Century'' by the
        Advertising Club of Louisville, being named ``Boxer of the
        Century'' by the World Sports Awards of the Century, being
        recognized by the International Boxing Hall of Fame, and
        receiving honorary doctorate degrees from Muhlenberg College
        and Western Kentucky University, as well as an honorary
        doctorate of humanities at Princeton University's 260th
        graduation ceremony.
            (8) Muhammad Ali received the prestigious ``Otto Hahn Peace
        Medal in Gold'' from the United Nations Association of Germany
        for his work with the United Nations and the Civil Rights
        Movement in the United States.
            (9) Muhammad Ali was selected by the California
        Bicentennial Foundation for the U.S. Constitution for
        personifying the vitality of the Bill of Rights in various
        high-profile activities.
            (10) Despite having been diagnosed with Parkinson's
        Syndrome in the early 1980s, Muhammad Ali dedicated his life to
        the cause of universal human rights and freedom. His commitment
        to equal justice and peace touched the lives of hundreds of
        thousands of people worldwide.
            (11) President Jimmy Carter asked Muhammad Ali to meet with
        African leaders in Tanzania, Kenya, Nigeria, Liberia, and
        Senegal as part of President Carter's diplomatic efforts on
        behalf of human rights in the 1980s.
            (12) In 1990, Muhammad Ali traveled to the Middle East to
        seek the release of American and British hostages that were
        being held as human shields in the first Gulf War. As a result
        of his intervention, 15 United States hostages were freed on
        December 2nd of that year.
            (13) In 1998, Muhammad Ali was chosen as the ``U.N.
        Messenger of Peace''.
            (14) Several Presidents of the United States recognized
        Muhammad Ali, including President George W. Bush who, on
        November 17, 2002, called him ``a man of peace'' and stated
        that ``across the world, billions of people know Muhammad Ali
        as a brave, compassionate, and charming man, and the American
        people are proud to call Muhammad Ali one of our own'',
        President Bill Clinton who stated that Muhammad Ali ``captured
        the world's imagination and its heart. Outside the ring,
        Muhammad Ali has dedicated his life to working for children,
        feeding the hungry, supporting his faith, and standing up for
        racial equality. He always fought for a just and more humane
        world, breaking down barriers here in America and around the
        world. There is no telling how many tens of millions of people
        had their hearts swell with pride and their eyes swell with
        tears in 1996 when Muhammad Ali lit the Olympic torch, because
        we know, now and forever, he is the greatest'', President Jimmy
        Carter who cited Muhammad Ali as ``Mr. International
        Friendship'', and President Barack Obama who, as a Senator, had
        a framed picture of Muhammad Ali hanging in his office, and
        before announcing his intentions to run for President, Obama
        visited with Muhammad Ali at the Ali Center in Louisville,
        Kentucky.
            (15) Muhammad Ali encouraged humanity through his
        perseverance and the support of thousands of people. He helped
        such organizations as the Chicago-based adoption agency, The
        Cradle; the Make-A-Wish Foundation; the Special Olympics'
        organization, Best Buddies; and Herbert E. Birch Services, an
        organization that runs a school for handicapped children and
        young adults, in addition to a summer camp for children with
        AIDS.
            (16) Muhammad Ali and his wife Lonnie were the founding
        directors of the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center in Phoenix,
        Arizona, and helped raise over $50,000,000 for Parkinson's
        research. The Center's mission is to provide excellence in
        treatment, research, and education for patients and families
        affected by Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders,
        regardless of their ability to pay.
            (17) Muhammad Ali was an inspiration to countless
        individuals with Parkinson's disease, including members of the
        Rock Steady Boxing Foundation in Indianapolis, Indiana, which
        was founded to give people with Parkinson's disease hope by
        improving their quality of life using boxing for fitness.
            (18) Muhammad Ali was one of the founding members of
        Athletes for Hope, an organization created by a few very
        successful athletes of exemplary character who have a deep
        commitment to charitable and community causes.
            (19) Muhammad Ali also established the Muhammad Ali Center
        in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, which promotes
        respect, hope, and understanding, and inspires people
        everywhere to be as great as they can be. A visitor of the
        Muhammad Ali Center experiences the ``hows'' of Ali's life: How
        he found the courage, the dedication, and the discipline to
        become a world champion; how he found the conviction to stand
        up for what he believed; and how he turned his passion for
        excellence in the ring to a passion for peace on the world
        stage.
            (20) Like Muhammad Ali himself, the Muhammad Ali Center
        focuses on what brings individuals together, not what sets them
        apart, and is a ``global gathering place'' to which people can
        come, both online and in person, to learn, share, and celebrate
        our commonalities as human beings and to formulate ways of
        advancing humanity.
            (21) Muhammad Ali helped to provide more than 22,000,000
        aid packets to assist people in need, and until the last years
        of his life, he traveled, on average, more than 200 days per
        year for humanitarian causes.
            (22) Muhammad Ali, known simply as ``the greatest,''
        transcended the glamour and glory of being a sports champion to
        become not only one of the greatest sports figures, but one of
        the greatest role models of our time.
            (23) On June 3, 2016, Muhammad Ali died at the age of 74.
