SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Great Lakes Pipeline Safety Act of
2016''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the Great Lakes are an invaluable national resource,
        containing one-fifth of the world's fresh surface water and 95
        percent of the United States freshwater supply;
            (2) over 40,000,000 people depend on the Great Lakes for
        fresh drinking water;
            (3) the Great Lakes provide 56,000,000,000 gallons of water
        per day for municipal, agricultural and industrial use;
            (4) there are more than 3,500 species of plants and animals
        within the Great Lakes ecosystem;
            (5) hundreds of thousands of jobs, tied to the
        $7,000,000,000 recreational fishing and $16,000,000,000
        recreational boating industries, directly depend on the Great
        Lakes;
            (6) currently, several million gallons per day of hazardous
        liquids are transported by pipeline across various points along
        the Great Lakes;
            (7) modeling studies by the University of Michigan in 2014
        and 2016 have concluded that an oil spill originating from a
        pipeline under the Straits of Mackinac would present
        particularly severe consequences, potentially impacting over
        700 miles of Great Lakes shoreline;
            (8) a joint NOAA-U.S. Coast Guard guidebook on oil spill
        response planning in marine environments states that, during
        the first 24 to 48 hours of open water exposure, most oil
        spills become difficult to recover, burn, or chemically
        disperse;
            (9) swift currents beneath the straits and waterways which
        connect the Great Lakes could rapidly disperse oil spill
        contaminants following a pipeline breach;
            (10) certain pipelines on the Great Lakes are located in
        close proximity to municipal drinking water collection intakes
        for millions of people; and
            (11) the United States should seek to protect the Great
        Lakes, as a unique national asset, from unreasonable risk of
        environmental and economic harm.

SEC. 3. STUDY ON ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS TO THE GREAT LAKES.

    (a) Study.--Notwithstanding a pipeline integrity management
program, integrity management assessment schedule, or considerations by
the Secretary of Transportation resulting in a corrective action order
pursuant to section 60112 of title 49, United States Code, not later
than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary
shall, in consultation with the United States Coast Guard, the
Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, and other agencies as appropriate, conduct a study to
determine the economic and environmental risks to the Great Lakes of
spills or leaks of oil or other hazardous liquids in the Straits of
Mackinac from a rupture, breakage, or other failure of onshore,
underwater pipeline facilities within the Straits.
    (b) Contents.--The study required under subsection (a) shall--
            (1) meet the content requirements of an environmental
        impact statement as described in part 1502 of title 40, Code of
        Federal Regulations;
            (2) describe the potential impacts of such spills or leaks
        to the public health or welfare, wildlife populations,
        ecosystems, shorelines, public and private property, economic
        activity, and water quality in the Great Lakes and connecting
        waterways;
            (3) include an assessment of spill responses in a variety
        of likely and worst-case spill scenarios in those waters; and
            (4) include the supplemental study conducted under
        subsection (c).
    (c) Supplemental Study.--The Secretary of Transportation shall
conduct, in collaboration with pipeline facility operators and any
necessary agencies, a supplemental study to evaluate the condition and
structural integrity of onshore, underwater pipeline facilities in the
Straits of Mackinac, taking into consideration the age, construction
materials, external and internal corrosion, weld integrity, pressure,
underwater currents, possible external damage caused by anchor strikes
or dragging by recreational or cargo vessels, and the presence of in-
line shutoff valves. Such supplemental study shall utilize both
internal inspection technology and pipeline route surveys, depth of
cover surveys, pressure tests, external corrosion direct assessment, or
other technology that the operator demonstrates can further the
understanding of the condition of the pipeline facility.
    (d) Termination of Operation.--Not later than 18 months after the
date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator of the Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration shall terminate the
operations of an onshore, underwater pipeline facility located in the
Straits of Mackinac if the Administrator determines that, based on the
studies conducted under subsections (a) and (c), such facility poses a
sufficient risk of hazard to life, property, or the environment to
necessitate the termination.

Output: Great Lakes Pipeline Safety Act of 2016 This bill directs the Department of Transportation (DOT) to conduct a study to determine the economic and environmental risks of oil or hazardous liquids spills or leaks in the Straits of Mackinac that a failure of onshore, underwater pipeline facilities within the straits would pose to the Great Lakes. In addition, DOT must evaluate the condition and structural integrity of the facilities. DOT shall terminate operations of a facility upon a determination, based on such studies, that risk of hazard to life, property, or the environment warrants termination.

SECTION 1. PAYMENT OF COMPENSATION TO MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES AND
              CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES OF THE UNITED STATES CAPTURED BY JAPAN
              AND FORCED TO PERFORM SLAVE LABOR DURING WORLD WAR II.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) During World War II, members of the Armed Forces of the
        United States fought valiantly against the Armed Forces of
        Japan in the Pacific. In particular, from December 1941 until
        May 1942, members of the Armed Forces of the United States
        fought courageously against overwhelming Armed Forces of Japan
        on Wake Island, Guam, the Philippine Islands, including the
        Bataan Peninsula and Corregidor, and the Dutch East Indies,
        thereby preventing Japan from accomplishing strategic
        objectives necessary for achieving a preemptive military
        victory in the Pacific during World War II.
            (2) During initial military action in the Philippines,
        members of the Armed Forces of the United States were ordered
        to surrender on April 9, 1942, and were forced to march 65
        miles to prison camps at Camp O'Donnell, Cabanatuan, and
        Bilibid. More than 10,000 people of the United States died
        during the march (known as the ``Bataan Death March'') and
        during subsequent imprisonment as a result of starvation,
        disease, and executions.
            (3) Beginning in January 1942, the Armed Forces of Japan
        began transporting United States prisoners of war to Japan,
        Taiwan, Manchuria, and Korea to perform slave labor to support
        Japanese industries. Many of the unmarked merchant vessels in
        which the prisoners were transported (known as ``Hell Ships'')
        were attacked by the Armed Forces of the United States, which,
        according to some estimates, killed more than 3,600 people of
        the United States.
            (4) Following the conclusion of World War II, the
        Government of the United States agreed to pay compensation to
        former prisoners of war of the United States, amounting to
        $2.50 per day of imprisonment. This compensation, paid from
        assets of Japan frozen by the Government of the United States,
        is wholly insufficient to compensate fully such former
        prisoners of war for the conditions they endured. Neither the
        Government of Japan nor any corporations of Japan admit any
        liability requiring payment of compensation.
            (5) Other countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom,
        Isle of Man, Norway, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and
        Australia have previously awarded such a compensation to their
        surviving veterans who were captured by the Japanese during
        World War II and required to perform slave labor. Currently,
        the United States is the only Western Allied power that has not
        awarded similar compensation to these distinguished heroes of
        World War II who were prisoners of war of Japan.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to recognize, by the
provision of compensation, the heroic contributions of the members of
the Armed Forces and civilian employees of the United States who were
captured by the Japanese military during World War II and denied their
basic human rights by being forced to perform slave labor by the
Imperial Government of Japan or by corporations of Japan during World
War II.
    (c) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Covered veteran or civilian internee.--The term
        ``covered veteran or civilian internee'' means any individual
        who--
                    (A) is a citizen of the United States;
                    (B) was a member of the Armed Forces, a civilian
                employee of the United States, or an employee of a
                contractor of the United States during World War II;
                    (C) served in or with the Armed Forces during World
                War II;
                    (D) was captured and held as a prisoner of war or
                prisoner by Japan in the course of such service; and
                    (E) was required by the Imperial Government of
                Japan, or one or more corporations of Japan, to perform
                slave labor during World War II.
            (2) Slave labor.--The term ``slave labor'' means forced
        servitude under conditions of subjugation.
    (d) Payment of Compensation Required.--
            (1) In general.--Subject to the availability of
        appropriated funds, the Secretary of Defense shall pay
        compensation to each living covered veteran or civilian
        internee, or to the surviving spouse of a covered veteran or
        civilian internee, in the amount of $20,000.
            (2) Rebuttable presumption.--An application for
        compensation submitted under this section by or with respect to
        an individual seeking treatment as a covered veteran or
        civilian internee under this section is subject to a rebuttable
        presumption that such individual is a covered veteran or
        civilian internee if the application on its face provides
        information sufficient to establish such individual as a
        covered veteran or civilian internee.
    (e) Relationship to Other Payments.--Any amount paid to a person
under this section for activity described in subsection (c)(1)(D) is in
addition to any other amount paid to such person for such activity
under any other provision of law.
    (f) Inapplicability of Taxation or Attachment.--Any amount paid to
a person under this section shall not be subject to any taxation,
attachment, execution, levy, tax lien, or detention under any process
whatever.

Output: Directs the Secretary of Defense to pay (subject to the availability of appropriated funds) a specified amount of compensation to those members of the Armed Forces and U.S. civilian employees, or to the surviving spouses of such members and employees, who were captured by Japan and who were used as slave labor during World War II.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Freedom and Mobility in Consumer
Banking Act''.

SEC. 2. CONSUMER RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO CLOSED ACCOUNTS.

    The Truth in Savings Act (12 U.S.C. 4301 et seq.) is amended--
            (1) by striking section 262 and inserting the following:

``SEC. 262. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    ``(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            ``(1) economic stability would be enhanced, competition
        between depository institutions would be improved, and the
        ability of the consumer to make informed decisions regarding
        deposit accounts, and to verify accounts, would be strengthened
        if there were uniformity in the disclosure of terms and
        conditions on which interest is paid and fees are assessed in
        connection with such accounts; and
            ``(2) consumers lack meaningful choices for managing
        household funds because--
                    ``(A) despite dissatisfaction with rising account
                fees at some depository institutions, consumers often
                find it too difficult to move their funds to new
                deposit accounts;
                    ``(B) the process of moving funds to new deposit
                accounts often involves several steps and substantial
                time to complete, and it is not always clear what the
                proper procedures are for closing an account at a given
                depository institution;
                    ``(C) depository institutions have no obligation
                and may lack the technical capabilities to help
                consumers transfer automated deposits or debits from
                old accounts to new accounts, causing delays and
                confusion;
                    ``(D) depository institutions may charge fees to
                close an account and withdraw available funds, which
                can impede banking mobility for low-income consumers;
                and
                    ``(E) some depository institutions have engaged in
                the practice of reopening closed accounts without the
                consent of the consumer.
    ``(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            ``(1) to allow consumers to make a meaningful comparison
        between competing claims of depository institutions with regard
        to deposit accounts by requiring the clear and uniform
        disclosure of--
                    ``(A) the rates of interest that are payable on
                deposit accounts by depository institutions; and
                    ``(B) the fees that are assessable against deposit
                accounts; and
            ``(2) to protect rights of consumers by providing a
        framework establishing the rights, liabilities, and
        responsibilities of depository institutions and consumers in
        closing procedures for certain types of consumer deposit
        accounts.'';
            (2) by inserting after section 268 the following:

``SEC. 268A. CLOSURE OF COVERED ACCOUNTS.

    ``(a) In General.--A depository institution may not--
            ``(1) prohibit a consumer from closing a covered account at
        the depository institution, regardless of whether the balance
        in the covered account is positive, zero, or negative;
            ``(2) charge any fee to close a covered account; or
            ``(3) reopen a covered account that a consumer has
        requested to be closed in accordance with this section to apply
        subsequent debits, whether preauthorized or otherwise, or for
        any other reason, unless the consumer expressly requests that
        the covered account be reopened.
    ``(b) Disclosures Required.--A depository institution shall provide
to any consumer that opens a covered account at the depository
institution a description of the policies and procedures that the
depository institution has in place to close a covered account--
            ``(1) at the time the consumer opens the covered account;
            ``(2) at any time, upon request of a consumer; and
            ``(3) on the website of the depository institution.
    ``(c) Regulations Relating to Closure of Covered Accounts.--
            ``(1) In general.--Not later than 1 year after the date of
        enactment of this section, the Bureau, after consultation with
        each agency referred to in section 270(a), and public notice
        and opportunity for comment, shall prescribe final regulations
        to carry out this section.

                covered account not later than 5 business days after
                the date on which a consumer makes a request to close
                the covered account, except that the closure of the
                covered account may be delayed--
                            ``(i) if a Federal or State law enforcement
                        agency notifies the depository institution that
                        the closure will interfere with a criminal

                covered account, which, except as provided in
                subparagraph (C), shall include requests made in
                person, over the phone, or by other electronic or
                remote means;

                an amount on deposit exceeding a certain monetary
                threshold, as determined and established by the Bureau;

Output: Freedom and Mobility in Consumer Banking Act - Amends the Truth in Savings Act to prohibit depository institutions from: (1) prohibiting a consumer from closing a covered account (a checking, savings, or any other account that the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection [CFPB] may include), regardless of whether the balance is positive, zero, or negative; (2) charging any fee to close such account; or (3) reopening such an account to apply subsequent debits after a consumer has requested the account to be closed, unless the consumer requests that the account be reopened. Requires depository institutions to provide consumers with a description of the policies and procedures in place to close such accounts at the time the account is opened, upon request, and on the websites of such institutions. Directs the CFPB to prescribe regulations relating to the closure of such accounts, including: (1) allowing consumers to receive available funds from a closed account in the form of a cashier's check, electronic funds transfer, or any other means offered by the institution or determined appropriate by the CFPB; (2) requiring depository institutions to provide consumers with certain information regarding any preauthorized transactions or direct deposits associated with an account before it is closed; (3) prohibiting a depository institution from reporting adverse information regarding such account to any consumer reporting agency if, at the time the account is closed, the account has a negative balance resulting solely from any fee assessed by the depository institution; and (4) establishing the terms under which a depository institution may report to a consumer reporting agency that an account had a negative closing balance, provided that the institution notifies the consumer and provides a reasonable period for repayment of the balance.  Directs the Comptroller General (GAO) to report to Congress and the CFPB regarding additional barriers that could limit the ability of a consumer to close a covered account. Requires the CFPB, after receiving such report, to determine whether regulations should be issued to remove such barriers.

Authorizes such personnel to modify the disciplinary action on a case-by-case basis. Permits assertion of a defense that the offense was committed unintentionally or innocently.
Allows the local educational agency (LEA) responsible for providing educational services to a child with a disability who is expelled or suspended under this Act to choose to continue to provide educational services to such child, but specifies that an LEA that so chooses to continue to provide services: (1) is not required by IDEA to provide such child with a free appropriate public education, or any particular level of service; and (2) has discretion as to the location where it provides the services.
