SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Inflammatory Bowel Disease Research
and Awareness Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are serious
        inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
            (2) Crohn's disease may occur in any section of the
        gastrointestinal tract but is predominately found in the lower
        part of the small intestine and the large intestine. Ulcerative
        colitis is characterized by inflammation and ulceration of the
        innermost lining of the colon. Complete removal of the colon in
        patients with ulcerative colitis can potentially alleviate and
        cure symptoms.
            (3) Because Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis behave
        similarly, they are collectively known as inflammatory bowel
        disease. Both diseases present a variety of symptoms, including
        severe diarrhea, abdominal pain with cramps, fever, arthritic
        joint pain, inflammation of the eye, and rectal bleeding. There
        is no known cause of inflammatory bowel disease, or medical
        cure.
            (4) It is estimated that up to 1,400,000 people in the
        United States suffer from inflammatory bowel disease, 30
        percent of whom are diagnosed during their childhood years.
            (5) Children with inflammatory bowel disease miss school
        activities because of bloody diarrhea and abdominal pain, and
        many adults who had onset of inflammatory bowel disease as
        children had delayed puberty and impaired growth and have never
        reached their full genetic growth potential.
            (6) Inflammatory bowel disease patients are at high risk
        for developing colorectal cancer.
            (7) The total annual medical costs for inflammatory bowel
        disease patients are estimated at more than $2,000,000,000.
            (8) The average time from presentation of symptoms to
        diagnosis in children is 3 years.
            (9) Delayed diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease
        frequently results in more-active disease associated with
        increased morbidity and complications.
            (10) Congress has appropriated $3,480,000 from fiscal year
        2005 to fiscal year 2009 for epidemiology research on
        inflammatory bowel disease through the Centers for Disease
        Control and Prevention.
            (11) The National Institutes of Health National Commission
        on Digestive Diseases issued comprehensive research goals
        related to inflammatory bowel disease in its April 2009 report
        to Congress and the American public entitled; ``Opportunities
        and Challenges in Digestive Diseases Research: Recommendations
        of the National Commission on Digestive Diseases''.

        effective treatment protocol.
            ``(7) Complications of inflammatory bowel disease and
        related secondary conditions, including colorectal cancer.
            ``(8) Federal and private information resources for
        patients and physicians.
            ``(9) Incidence and prevalence data on pediatric and adult
        inflammatory bowel disease.
    ``(c) Eligible Entity.--For purposes of this section, the term
`eligible entity' means a patient or medical organization with

        through the Director of the National Institutes of Health and
        the Director of the National Institute of Diabetes and
        Digestive and Kidney Diseases (in this section referred to as
        the Institute), should aggressively support basic,
        translational, and clinical research designed to meet the
        research goals for inflammatory bowel disease included in the
        National Institutes of Health National Commission on Digestive
        Diseases report entitled ``Opportunities and Challenges in
        Digestive Diseases Research: Recommendations of the National
        Commission on Digestive Diseases'', which shall include--
                    (A) establishing an objective basis for determining
                clinical diagnosis, detailed phenotype, and disease
                activity in inflammatory bowel disease;
                    (B) developing an individualized approach to
                inflammatory bowel disease risk evaluation and

Input:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Public School Redefinition Act of
1993''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the ability of the United States to deliver more
        effective educational services to citizens, especially
        disadvantaged citizens, is of primary importance to the
        national and economic security of the United States;
            (2) fundamental reform is needed in our Nation's
        educational system in order to release the creative energies of
        teachers, students, parents, and communities;
            (3) market forces of competition and choice can have a
        positive influence in promoting fundamental reform; however,
        choice is incomplete without the availability of more
        educational choices for all students, including disadvantaged
        students and historically underserved students;
            (4) the exclusive franchise that local educational agencies
        have traditionally had on the creation of new public schools
        has served to limit the number and variety of school choices
        available to parents and students; and
            (5) public education should be defined by outcomes and
        requirements that protect and promote the public interest, not
        solely by the ownership or control of facilities and programs
        by a local educational agency or other public agency.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

    It is the purpose of this Act to--
            (1) encourage States to offer teachers, parents, and local
        communities the opportunity to establish new and more effective
        public schools;
            (2) provide Federal assistance and flexibility to encourage
        States to assist teachers, parents, and communities to develop
        such schools; and
            (3) provide criteria for States, teachers, parents, and
        communities to use in establishing new and more effective
        public schools.

SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS.

Output:
Public School Redefinition Act of 1993 - Establishes a demonstration program to provide Federal assistance to encourage States to assist teachers, parents, and local communities to establish and develop outcome-based public schools.
Authorizes the Secretary of Education to award grants to State educational agencies (SEAs) to conduct such outcome-based public school programs (or, if a State elects not to participate, to award such a grant directly to an outcome-based public school).
Limits such grants to three years and requires the school to provide matching funds.  Prohibits grant funds from being used for construction or major renovation or repair of facilities, but allows their use for planning, equipment purchases and other start-up costs, including minor renovation of facilities to meet applicable health and safety requirements.
Provides that each such outcome-based public school shall be eligible to receive Federal, State, and local education revenue, grants, and other aid as though such school were a local educational agency.
Directs the Secretary or the SEA receiving such a grant to terminate grant payments to an outcome-based public school upon determination that it is not making acceptable progress.
Authorizes appropriations.
