SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Humanitarian Assistance Facilitation
Act of 2013''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The 2011-2012 drought in East Africa, part of a
        persistent weather trend in the region, was exacerbated by
        stagnating agricultural development and unsustainable forms of
        livelihood. Moreover, in Somalia, the hardest hit country in
        the region, the terrorist group al-Shabaab obstructed the
        delivery of humanitarian assistance and directly threatened aid
        agencies. Thus, the famine was a foreseeable and, with
        unimpeded delivery of aid, a preventable event.
            (2) It is estimated that 4 million Somalis were affected by
        the drought and famine in the region and several million remain
        vulnerable to this day. According to the May 2013 report issued
        by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and the
        Famine Early Warning System Network, the Somalia famine
        resulted in 258,000 deaths between October 2010 and April 2012.
        More than half of those deaths were children under the age of
        five.
            (3) Because of laws prohibiting activities that may
        directly or indirectly support terrorist organizations, a
        general or specific license issued by the Department of the
        Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is needed to
        enable United States humanitarian organizations to legally
        provide assistance in al-Shabaab-controlled areas of Somalia
        particularly with respect to activities that require
        interactions or dealings with al-Shabaab.
            (4) The United States Agency for International Development
        (USAID) has an OFAC-specific license to operate in these
        conditions in Somalia that covers the organizations that USAID
        funds, but not organizations that operate with their own
        funding or funding solely from non-United States Government
        sources, and also not the non-United States Government funding
        of organizations that operate with both United States
        Government and non-United States Government funding, unless
        USAID authorizes both types of funding to be covered under such
        OFAC-specific license. Organizations that operate in al-
        Shabaab-controlled areas without such a license can be subject
        to prosecution for violating United States law, at least with
        respect to activities or transactions that involve al-Shabaab,
        even incidentally.
            (5) Prior to OFAC issuing USAID its license, no licenses
        for humanitarian assistance to the people of Somalia were
        issued before the United Nations declared a famine in al-
        Shabaab-controlled areas of Somalia.
            (6) In pursuit of eliminating aid in any form to terrorist
        organizations, Executive orders have had the effect of undoing
        protections for humanitarian operations in areas controlled by
        such organizations previously contained in the International
        Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.1701 et seq.) and
        sections 2339A and 2339B of title 18, United States Code
        (commonly known as the ``Material Support Statutes'').
        Furthermore, the prohibitions contained in such Executive
        orders and the Material Support Statutes discouraged and, in
        some instances, prohibited donors from contributing to aid
        efforts for all of Somalia. In some cases, the unintended
        consequences included preventing humanitarian organizations
        from establishing access to civilians and providing them with
        life-saving aid, while empowering terrorist organizations that
        became the sole conduit of aid.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that humanitarian organizations, acting
in good faith and with the appropriate restrictions and controls in
place, should not be prevented, directly or indirectly by Executive
orders or counterterrorism laws, from accessing and providing aid to
civilian populations before or early on in humanitarian crises, such as
in the famine in al-Shabaab-controlled areas of Somalia.

SEC. 4. AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 203 OF THE INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY
              ECONOMIC POWERS ACT.

    (a) Additional Exception.--
            (1) In general.--Section 203 of the International Emergency

Output: Humanitarian Assistance Facilitation Act of 2013 - Expresses the sense of Congress that humanitarian organizations acting in good faith and with the appropriate restrictions and controls in place should not be prevented from providing aid to civilian populations before or early on in humanitarian crises, such as in the famine in al-Shabaab-controlled areas of Somalia. Amends the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to permit under specified conditions persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction to enter into transactions with certain sanctioned foreign persons that are customary, necessary, and incidental to the donation or provision of goods or services to prevent or alleviate the suffering of civilian populations. Directs the Secretary of State to establish an Advisory Council on United States Policy Related to Non-Governmental Activities to Prevent and Respond to Human Suffering in Areas Affected By Certain Sanctioned Foreign Persons. Amends the federal criminal code to exclude from the definition of "material support or resources" (regarding foreign terrorist organizations) engaging in speech or communication with a terrorist organization to prevent or alleviate the suffering of a civilian population, including speech or communication to reduce or eliminate the frequency and severity of violent conflict and reducing its impact on the civilian population.

    This Act may be cited as ``Child Protection Compact Act of 2011''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The use of children for commercial sexual exploitation
        is a global phenomenon. Human trafficking affects millions of
        children worldwide.
            (2) Many countries with a high prevalence of trafficking in
        children lack financial resources, legal expertise, technical
        capacity, and other resources to appropriately protect and
        rescue these children, despite a demonstrated political will to
        do so.
            (3) The Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat
        Trafficking in Persons placed 132 countries, out of 175
        countries ranked, on Tier 2 or Tier 2 Watch List in its 2010
        Trafficking in Persons report.
            (4) As a party to the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and
        Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children,
        Supplementing the United Nations Convention Against
        Transnational Organized Crime (the ``Palermo Protocol''), the
        United States has pledged to establish policies and programs to
        prevent and combat trafficking in persons and to protect
        victims of trafficking from revictimization and to share
        information, as appropriate, with law enforcement, immigration
        and other relevant authorities of other states parties with a
        view to combating trafficking in persons.
    (b) Declaration of Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to provide
incentives to Tier 2 countries and Tier 2 Watch List countries to
protect and rescue children subjected to severe forms of trafficking in
persons through the establishment of Child Protection Compacts between
the United States and select, eligible countries with a significant
prevalence of trafficking in children, in order to--
            (1) address institutional weaknesses within the government
        that result in the failure to protect vulnerable children and
        to rescue and properly rehabilitate victims;
            (2) increase local government capacity to apprehend
        perpetrators who engage in severe forms of trafficking in
        children and bring perpetrators to justice in national courts
        of law; and
            (3) ensure transparency and accountability in achieving the
        goals stipulated in the Compact over the course of its three-
        year implementation.

                year in which the funds are so apportioned; and
                    ``(B) if not apportioned at the end of that period,
                shall lapse.
            ``(4) Effect of noncompliance.--If, at the end of the

Output: Alisa's Law of 2014 - Directs the Secretary of Transportation (DOT) to withhold specified graduated percentages of a state's apportionment of certain federal-aid highway funds for FY2015-FY2017 if the state has not enacted and is not enforcing a law requiring the installation of an ignition interlock device for a minimum of 180 days on each motor vehicle operated by an individual convicted of driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence. Defines "driving while intoxicated" and "driving under the influence" as driving or being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while having a blood alcohol concentration greater than or equal to the lesser of: (1) the blood alcohol concentration limit of the state in which the individual is driving, or (2) 0.08%. Requires an ignition interlock device to: (1) require a driver to provide a breath sample before the motor vehicle starts, and (2) prevent a motor vehicle from starting if the alcohol concentration of the driver is above the legal limit.

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The volume of crude oil transported by rail has
        significantly increased from--
                    (A) 21,000 barrels a day in 2009 to 1.1 million
                barrels a day in 2014; and
                    (B) 9,500 rail-carloads in 2008 to 415,000 rail-
                carloads in 2013.
            (2) At any given time, more than 2.5 million gallons of
        crude oil is being transported across the country to refineries
        totaling a distance of more than 1,000 miles.
            (3) More oil was spilled in 2013 from freight traffic than
        in the previous 4 decades combined.
            (4) Increased spills result in catastrophes that have
        significantly and adversely impacted the following communities:
                    (A) Minnesota, in March 2013, when 30,000 gallons
                of crude oil spilled because of derailed cars.
                    (B) Lac-Meegantic, Canada, in July 2013, when 1.6
                million gallons of crude oil spilled, igniting a fire
                and exploding, killing 47 people and forcing 2,000
                people from their homes.
                    (C) North Dakota, in December 2013, when 400,000
                million gallons of crude oil spilled, igniting a fire
                and forcing 65 percent of residents from their homes.
                    (D) Virginia, in March 2014, when thousands of
                gallons of oil spilled, contaminating the James River
                and requiring the evacuation of 78,000 people in the
                downtown of the city.
                    (E) West Virginia, in February 2015, when 26 cars
                containing oil that exceeded volatility standards for
                transport derailed, igniting fires and explosions,
                threatening the water supply, and forcing hundreds of
                people from their homes.
            (5) Hazardous materials must be properly classified for
        transportation, according to requirements from the Pipeline and
        Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA).
            (6) Crude oil is categorized as a Class 3 flammable liquid
        in either Packing Group (PG) I or II.
            (7) Due to serious mislabeling practices, the Department of
        Transportation's Emergency Order (Docket No. DOT-OST-2014-0025)
        from February 2014 has forbidden the labeling of crude oil as
        PG III for transport and handling until further notice;
        shipments must be labeled as either PG I (most serious hazard)
        or PG II (moderate hazard) for proper handling and transport of
        crude oil.
            (8) PHMSA has found that crude oil from the Bakken region
        (in North Dakota, Montana, and Canada) is ``more volatile than
        most other types of crude,'' and subsequently, more flammable.
            (9) The samples that PHMSA tested from the Bakken region
        ``displayed characteristics consistent with those of a Class 3
        flammable liquid, PG I or II, with a predominance to PG I, the
        most dangerous class of Class 3 flammable liquids''.
            (10) The oil industry group North Dakota Petroleum Council
        has recommended that Bakken crude oil be labeled as PG I
        hazardous materials for transportation.
            (11) Oil from the Bakken region accounts for about 12
        percent of total domestic production.
            (12) The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has
        expressed concern ``that major loss of life, property damage
        and environmental consequences can occur when large volumes of
        crude oil or other flammable liquids are transported on a
        single train involved in an accident''.
            (13) The NTSB has recommended that routes transporting
        hazardous materials present the fewest overall safety and
        security risks by avoiding populated areas.

                    (C) Vote on final passage.--Immediately following
                the conclusion of the debate on a joint resolution, and
                a single quorum call at the conclusion of the debate if

        resolution of that House, that House receives from the other
        House a joint resolution, then the following procedures shall
        apply:
                    (A) Referral of joint resolutions of sending
                house.--The joint resolution of the sending House shall
                not be referred to a committee in the receiving House.
                    (B) Procedures in receiving house.--With respect to
                a joint resolution of the House receiving the joint
                resolution--
                            (i) the procedure in that House shall be
                        the same as if no joint resolution had been
                        received from the sending House; but
                            (ii) the vote on final passage shall be on
                        the joint resolution of the sending House.
                    (C) Disposition of joint resolutions of receiving
                house.--Upon disposition of the joint resolution
                received from the other House, it shall no longer be in
                order to consider the joint resolution originated in
                the receiving House.
            (7) Procedures after action by both the house and senate.--
        If the House receiving a joint resolution from the other House
        after the receiving House has disposed of a joint resolution
        originated in that House, the action of the receiving House
        with regard to the disposition of the joint resolution
        originated in that House shall be deemed to be the action of
        the receiving House with regard to the joint resolution
        originated in the other House.
            (8) Status of procedures.--This subsection is enacted by
        Congress--
                    (A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the
                Senate and House of Representatives, respectively, and
                as such it is deemed a part of the rules of each House,
                respectively, but applicable only with respect to the
                procedure to be followed in that House in the case of a
                joint resolution described in paragraph (1), and it
                supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is
                inconsistent with such rules; and
                    (B) with full recognition of the constitutional
                right of either House to change the rules (so far as
                relating to the procedure of that House) at any time,
                in the same manner and to the same extent as in the
                case of any other rule of that House.
