Act of 2015''.

SEC. 2. TABLE OF CONTENTS.

    The table of contents of this Act is as follows:

Sec. 1. Short title.
Sec. 2. Table of contents.
Sec. 3. Findings; purposes.
Sec. 4. Surveillance of sports-related concussions.
Sec. 5. Research.
Sec. 6. Dissemination of information.
Sec. 7. Concussion Research Commission.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) There is currently no comprehensive system for
        acquiring accurate data on the incidence of sports- and
        recreation-related concussions across youth age groups and
        sports.
            (2) Overall, according to a report entitled ``Sports-
        Related Concussions in Youth: Improving the Science, Changing
        the Culture'', issued by the National Academies in 2013, each
        year in the United States, there are approximately 1.6 to 3.8
        million sports- and recreation-related traumatic brain
        injuries, including concussions and other head injuries. These
        figures are based on conservative estimates.
            (3) Between 2001 and 2009, the reported number of our youth
        ages 21 and under treated in an emergency department for
        concussion and other non-fatal sports and recreation-related
        traumatic brain injuries increased from 150,000 to 250,000.
            (4) Over the same time period between 2001 and 2009, the
        rate of emergency room visits for concussive injuries increased
        by 57 percent.
            (5) Yet, according to the National Academies there
        currently is--
                    (A) a lack of data to accurately estimate the
                incidence of sports-related concussions across a
                variety of sports and for youth across the pediatric
                age spectrum; and
                    (B) no comprehensive system for acquiring accurate
                data on the incidence of sports- and recreation-related
                concussions across all youth age groups and sports.
            (6) Currently, there are significant information gaps in
        the proper protocol for diagnosis and treatment of sports-
        related concussions and more research desperately is needed.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to increase awareness and knowledge about concussions
        through development of, implementation of, and evaluation of
        the effectiveness of, large-scale collaborative efforts and
        research by entities including, but not limited to, national
        sports associations, State high school associations, trainers'
        associations, appropriate Federal entities, and other
        stakeholders such as parents, coaches, and students; and
            (2) to change the culture (including social norms,
        attitudes, and behaviors) surrounding concussions among
        elementary school youth and their parents, coaches, sports
        officials, educators, trainers, and health care professionals,
        taking into account demographic variations across population
        groups, where appropriate.

SEC. 4. SURVEILLANCE OF SPORTS-RELATED CONCUSSIONS.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Education and Training for Health
Act of 2017'' or the ``EAT for Health Act of 2017''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) According to 2013 national health expenditure data,
        United States health care spending increased 3.6 percent to
        reach $2.9 trillion, or $9,255 per person, and accounted for
        17.4 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
            (2) According to the Institute of Medicine, in 2012
        estimates of health care costs attributed over 75 percent of
        national health expenditures to treatment for chronic diseases.
            (3) A March 2003 report from the World Health Organization
        concluded diet was a major cause of chronic diseases.
            (4) Seven out of 10 deaths among people in the United
        States each year are from chronic diseases such as
        cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, and cancer.
            (5) According to the Centers for Disease Control and
        Prevention, in 2013 heart disease was the leading cause of
        death for American adults. Approximately 600,000 American
        adults die each year from cardiovascular disease. Coronary
        heart disease alone costs American taxpayers $108.9 billion
        each year.
            (6) Research has shown that following a healthful diet can
        not only reduce symptoms related to cardiovascular disease but
        can also actually reverse damage done to the arteries.
            (7) According to the Journal of the American Medical
        Association, two-thirds of adults in the United States are
        currently overweight, and half of those overweight individuals
        are obese. One in three children are overweight, and one-fifth
        of children are obese. The United States spends about $147 to
        $210 billion a year on obesity related diseases, including type
        2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and arthritis.
            (8) An estimated 29.1 million people in the United States
        have diabetes. Another 86 million American adults have
        prediabetes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
        predicts that one in three children born in 2000 will develop
        diabetes at some point in their lives. Total estimated costs of
        diagnosed diabetes have increased 41 percent, to $245 billion
        in 2012 from $174 billion in 2007.
            (9) According to the American Cancer Society, there will be
        an estimated 1,658,370 new cancer cases diagnosed and 589,430
        cancer deaths in the United States in 2015. That is equivalent
        to about 1,620 deaths per day and accounts for nearly 1 of
        every 4 deaths. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
        (AHRQ) estimates that the direct medical costs for cancer in
        the United States in 2011 were $88.7 billion.
            (10) According to the Journal of the American College of
        Nutrition, in 2008 physicians felt inadequately trained to
        provide proper nutrition advice. Ninety-four percent felt
        nutrition counseling should be included during primary care
        visits, but only 14 percent felt adequately trained to provide
        such counseling.
            (11) A 1985 National Academy of Sciences report recommended
        that all medical schools require at least 25 contact hours of
        nutrition education. According to a 2009 national survey of
        medical colleges published in Academic Medicine, only 38
        percent of medical schools met these minimum standards by
        requiring 25 hours of nutrition education as part of their
        general curricula in 2004. By 2010, that number had shrunk to
        27 percent. In addition, 30 percent of United States medical
        schools required a dedicated nutrition course in 2004. Most
        recently, only 25 percent of such schools required such a
        course in 2010.
            (12) According to the Journal of Nutrition in Clinical
        Practice in 2010, more than half of graduating medical students
        felt their nutrition education was insufficient.
            (13) Recognizing the importance of nutrition, Healthy
        People 2020--the Federal Government's framework for a healthier
        Nation--includes a goal (NWS-6) to increase the proportion of
        physician office visits that include counseling or education
        related to nutrition or weight. According to Healthy People
        2020, only 13.8 percent of physician office visits included
        counseling about nutrition or diet (2010 latest year
        available).
            (14) According to Mission: Readiness, one in four Americans
        cannot serve in the military due to weight. For those serving,
        the military discharged 4,300 active-duty personnel due to
        weight problems in 2012.
            (15) According to the Journal of American Health Promotion,
        the military spends well over $1 billion a year to treat
        weight-related health problems such as heart disease and
        diabetes through its TRICARE health insurance for active duty
        personnel, reservists, retirees and their families.
            (16) According to the Centers for Disease Control and
        Prevention, American Indian or Alaska Native adults are 60
        percent more likely to be obese and over twice as likely as to
        have diabetes compared to White adults.
            (17) According to the Centers for Disease Control and
        Prevention, American Indian or Alaska Native adults have the
        highest rate of diabetes among all minority groups at 15.9
        percent.

SEC. 3. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES GUIDELINES, AND FEDERAL
              AGENCIES ANNUAL REPORTS, RELATING TO CERTAIN PRIMARY CARE
              FEDERAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS COMPLETING CONTINUING
              MEDICAL EDUCATION ON NUTRITION.

    (a) Guidelines.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall

relating to nutrition (as described in subsection (c)).
    (b) Biannual Reports.--Not later than 18 months after the date of
the enactment of this Act and each subsequent year, the head of each
Federal agency that employs full-time primary care health professionals
shall submit to Congress a report attesting, in a form and manner
specified by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to the extent
to which the agency has adopted and encouraged the guidelines issued
under subsection (a) with respect to such professionals employed by
such agency during any portion of the previous year. If the agency,
with respect to such previous year, did not fully adopt and encourage
such guidelines with respect to such professionals, the head of the
agency shall include in the report for the year the percentage of such
professionals employed by such agency to furnish primary care services

Input:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Respirator Access Assurance Act of
2005''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Each year millions of workers, responders, and citizens
        in the United States and around the world depend on the
        availability of respirators made in the United States for
        protection against exposure to hazardous materials and in the
        event of terrorist incidents, airborne disease epidemics, and
        other disasters.
            (2) Respirators are tested, and the design and labeling of
        respirators is regulated by an independent Federal agency, the
        National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, which is
        part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. NIOSH
        establishes the performance standards for respirators,
        independently tests and certifies that respirators meet its
        standards, and performs follow-up field audits of respirators
        to ensure continued compliance with NIOSH performance
        standards. Prior to the establishment of NIOSH, respirators
        were approved by the United States Bureau of Mines.
            (3) Respirator manufacturers and sellers do not and cannot
        control or determine the manner in which their products are
        used.
            (4) Manufacturers and sellers of respirators designed and
        labeled in compliance with NIOSH requirements have been named
        as defendants in a substantial number of product liability
        claims alleging that these NIOSH-approved designs and warnings
        are defective.
            (5) Respirators are sold in and have an effect on
        interstate commerce.
            (6) Manufacturers of respirators may cease making such
        products, in principal part because of the costs of litigation.
            (7) A continued United States capacity to manufacture and
        distribute respirators is necessary to assure that these
        products remain available. Lack of availability of respirators
        will increase risks to the health of millions of American
        workers and emergency responders.
            (8) The protections set forth in this Act are needed to
        assure the continued commercial availability of lifesaving
        respirators.

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

    In this Act:
            (1) Manufacturer.--The term ``Manufacturer'' means any
        person who, in the course of a business conducted for that

        individual respirator or combination of respirators has met the
        minimum requirements of part 84 of title 42, Code of Federal
        Regulations, or part 11 of title 30, Code of Federal
        Regulations, and that the manufacturer is authorized to use and
        attach an approval label to any respirator manufactured in
        conformance with the plans and specifications upon which the
        approval was based. For purposes of this Act, NIOSH approval
        shall also mean certification or approval by any Federal
        Government agency with authority to approve respirators,
        including the United States Bureau of Mines and the Mine Safety
        and Health Administration.
            (4) Respirator.--The term ``Respirator'' means any device,
        including component or replacement parts for a device, designed
        to provide the wearer with respiratory protection against
        inhalation of a hazardous atmosphere.
            (5) Seller.--The term ``Seller'' means a person or entity,

SEC. 4. EFFECT OF NIOSH APPROVAL OF DESIGN AND LABELING.

    (a) In General.--A manufacturer or seller of a respirator shall not
be subject to any claim for defective design or warning relating to a
respirator or any claim which is based on such an allegation if such
respirator has received a NIOSH approval, and such respirator is
manufactured in compliance with the NIOSH-approved design and labeling
in effect on the date of manufacture. This provision shall not apply to
a respirator that fails to comply with the NIOSH-approved design and
labeling standards in effect on the date of manufacture.
    (b) Withdrawal of Approval.--Subsection (a) shall not apply to a
manufacturer or seller of a respirator if NIOSH withdraws its approval
for the respirator that is the subject of the claim involved based on a
finding by NIOSH that the manufacturer or seller--
            (1) withheld from or misrepresented to NIOSH material
        information about the respirator's design or labeling and the
        respirator otherwise would not have been approved; or
            (2) made an illegal payment to a NIOSH official or employee
        for the purpose of securing or maintaining approval of the
        respirator's design or labeling.
    (c) Statute of Limitations.--A statute of limitations that would
otherwise apply to claims to which subsection (b) applies shall not
begin to run until the date on which NIOSH withdraws its approval for
the respirator involved.

SEC. 5. PREEMPTION AND STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION.

    (a) Preemption.--The provisions of this Act shall supersede any and
all State or local laws insofar as they may now or hereafter relate to
any claim for defective design or warning relating to a respirator or
any claim which is based on such an allegation if such respirator
complied with the NIOSH-approved design and labeling in effect on the
date of manufacture.
    (b) Statutory Construction.--Nothing in this Act may be construed
