SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Police Gun Buyback Assistance Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Buford Furrow, a white supremacist, used a Glock pistol
        decommissioned and sold by a law enforcement agency in the
        State of Washington, to shoot children at a Jewish community
        center in Los Angeles and kill a postal worker.
            (2) Twelve firearms were recently stolen during shipment
        from the Miami-Dade Police Department to Chicago, Illinois.
        Four of these firearms have been traced to crimes in Chicago,
        Illinois, including a shooting near a playground.
            (3) In the past 9 years, decommissioned firearms once used
        by law enforcement agencies have been involved in more than
        3,000 crimes, including 293 homicides, 301 assaults, and 279
        drug-related crimes.
            (4) Many State and local law enforcement departments also
        engage in the practice of reselling firearms that were involved
        in the commission of a crime and confiscated. Often these
        firearms are assault weapons that were in circulation prior to
        the restrictions imposed by the Violent Crime Control and Law
        Enforcement Act of 1994.
            (5) Law enforcement departments in the States of New York
        and Georgia, the City of Chicago, and other localities have
        adopted the practice of destroying decommissioned firearms.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to reduce the number of
firearms on the streets by assisting State and local law enforcement
agencies in eliminating the practice of transferring decommissioned
firearms to any person.

                        seafood.
                    (B) Categories.--The categories of information
                described in this subparagraph are--
                            (i) the information required to be
                        submitted to the Secretary of Commerce under
                        section 303(a)(5) of the Magnuson-Stevens
                        Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16
                        U.S.C. 1853(a)(5));
                            (ii) if the seafood was farm-raised, the
                        location of the aquaculture production area,
                        and the method of cultivation;
                            (iii) the date of the catch; and
                            (iv) the weight or number, as appropriate,
                        of product for an individual fish or lot.
            (3) Domestic fishermen.--Disclosure of data pursuant to
        section 303(a)(5) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation
        and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1853(a)(5)) by a person engaging

        admission into the United States to an article of seafood
        originating from such exporter, that such seafood be
        accompanied by a certification or other assurance under section
        801(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
        381(q)).
            (3) Allowance of individual shipments.--Paragraph (1) does
        not apply with respect to an individual shipment of seafood
        originating from an exporter whose products must otherwise be
        refused admission under such paragraph if the exporter presents

        Secretary of Commerce from a laboratory accredited under
        section 422 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21

        (a) and other applicable Federal laws or regulations
        prohibiting seafood fraud.
            (4) Termination of individual shipment screening
        requirement.--Paragraph (1) shall cease to prohibit the
        admission of seafood originating from an exporter based on a
        prior shipment if the Secretary of Health and Human Services or
        the Secretary of Commerce determines that--
                    (A) each prior shipment whose appearance triggered
                the application of such paragraph was in fact in
                compliance with the provisions of subsection (a) and
                other applicable Federal laws or regulations, including
                those prohibiting seafood fraud; or
                    (B) during the preceding 12 months, no shipment of
                seafood originating from the exporter has triggered the
                application of paragraph (1).
    (c) Penalties.--The Secretary of Commerce shall prevent any person
from violating this Act, or any Act to which this section applies, in
the same manner, by the same means, and with the same jurisdiction,
powers, and duties as though sections 308 through 311 of the Magnuson-

        imported or offered for import into the United States; and
            (2) for each such exporter, tracks the timing, type, and
        frequency of violations of Federal law relating to seafood
        fraud.
    (e) Inspections.--The Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with
the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shall--
            (1) increase, as resources allow, the number of foreign and
        domestic seafood shipments that are inspected for seafood fraud
        by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration inspectors
        and authorized officers, including verification of compliance
        with the traceability requirements of subsection (a);
            (2) ensure that the percentage of seafood shipments
        inspected during a given year is not lower than the percentage
        inspected during the previous year; and
            (3) to the maximum extent practicable, ensure that
        inspections and tests for seafood fraud prevention also collect
        information to support the Secretary of Health and Human
        Services in implementing the seafood safety requirements of the
        FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (Public Law 111-353).
    (f) Impact on Existing Food Safety Authority.--Nothing in this

Health and Human Services to execute or enforce food safety laws or
regulations that may be adopted pursuant to the FDA Food Safety
Modernization Act (Public Law 111-353).

SEC. 4. AUTHORITY OF STATES.

    Whenever the attorney general of a State, or an official or agency
designated by a State, has reason to believe that any person has
engaged or is engaging in a pattern or practice of seafood fraud in
violation of subsection (a) or (b) of section 3, the State may bring a
civil action on behalf of its residents to enjoin fraud, an action to
recover for actual monetary loss or receive $10,000 in damages for each
violation, or both such actions. If the court finds the defendant
willfully or knowingly violated this Act, the court may, in its
discretion, increase the amount of the award to an amount equal to not
more than 3 times the amount available under the preceding sentence.
Nothing in this section shall preclude an individual from bringing a
civil action.

SEC. 5. PREEMPTION.

    Nothing in this Act preempts the authority of a State to establish
and enforce requirements for improving seafood safety and preventing
seafood fraud that are consistent with the requirements of this Act.

SEC. 6. DEFINITIONS.

    In this Act:
            (1) The term ``other applicable Federal laws and
        regulations'' means Federal statutes, regulations, and
        international agreements (other than this Act) pertaining to
        the importation, exportation, transportation, sale, harvest,
        processing, or trade of seafood, including the Magnuson-Stevens
        Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et
        seq.), the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 (16 U.S.C. 3371 et
        seq.), the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301
        et seq.), the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (Public Law
        111-353), the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (15 U.S.C. 1451
        et seq.), subtitle D of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946
        (7 U.S.C. 1638 et seq.), parts 60 and 65 of title 7, Code of
        Federal Regulations (or any successor regulations), and part
        123 of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor
        regulations).
            (2) The term ``seafood'' means finfish, mollusks,
        crustaceans, and all other forms of marine animal and plant
        life other than marine mammals and birds.
            (3) The term ``seafood fraud'' means the mislabeling or
        misrepresentation of the information required under this Act or
        other applicable Federal laws and regulations.

Output: Protecting Honest Fishermen Act of 2015 This bill requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to ensure that its seafood inspection activities are coordinated with the national sea grant college program to provide outreach on seafood safety to states, local health agencies, consumers, and the seafood industry. The Department of Commerce and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) must ensure that seafood inspections and tests collect information for seafood fraud detection and prevention. "Seafood fraud" is defined as the mislabeling or misrepresentation of seafood information. Seafood imported into the United States or distributed or offered for sale in interstate commerce must display (on its packaging or otherwise accompanying the seafood) through processing, distribution, and final sale: (1) the market and scientific species names, (2) whether the seafood was harvested wild or was farm-raised, (3) the harvest method and date of the catch, and (4) the weight or number of product for an individual fish or lot. Additional information is required for seafood that was: (1) previously frozen, treated with substances affecting weight, or processed in a country other than that in which it was landed or harvested; or (2) farm-raised. The bill exempts importers, processors, distributors, or retailers from violations for unknowingly selling a product that was already mislabeled upon receipt, provided that such entities can produce the appropriate product traceability documentation.  As an alternative to the disclosure requirements for certain categories of information, an importer, processor, distributor, or retailer (including a restaurant) may make the information available upon request to federal, state, or local officials authorized to conduct inspections of: (1) seafood, or (2) any facility that processes or sells seafood. Persons engaging in fishing on a U.S. vessel in the exclusive economic zone under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act are deemed to be in compliance with traceability requirements if they disclose data required for a fishery management plan.  Seafood imports from an exporter shall be refused admission if any shipment of such seafood appears to be in violation of such seafood traceability requirements or other applicable federal laws or regulations. An exception is provided for individual shipments if the exporter presents evidence of compliance from an accredited laboratory. HHS and Commerce must post on their public websites a list that: (1) includes, by country, each exporter whose seafood is imported or offered for import into the United States; and (2) tracks, for each exporter, the timing, type, and frequency of violations.  Commerce is required to: (1) increase the number of shipments inspected for seafood fraud by NOAA inspectors and authorized officers, (2) prevent the percentage of seafood shipments inspected from declining in a subsequent year, and (3) ensure that inspections for fraud prevention also collect seafood safety information.  The bill also authorizes states to bring civil actions for seafood fraud violations.

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) According to the Surgeon General of the United States,
        the epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune
        deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) will soon become the worst
        epidemic of infectious disease in recorded history, eclipsing
        the bubonic plague of the 1300's and the influenza epidemic of
        1918-1919, the latter killing more than 20,000,000 people
        worldwide.
            (2) The gap between rich and poor countries in terms of
        transmission of HIV from mother to child has been increasing,
        threatening to reverse years of steady progress of child
        survival in developing countries to the point that UNAIDS
        believes that by the year 2010 AIDS may have increased
        mortality of children under 5 years of age by more than 100
        percent in regions most affected by the virus.
            (3) At current infection and growth rates for HIV/AIDS, the
        National Intelligence Council estimates that the number of AIDS
        orphans worldwide will increase dramatically, potentially
        increasing threefold or more in the next 10 years, contributing
        to economic decay, social fragmentation, and political
        destabilization in already volatile societies as children
        without care or hope are drawn into prostitution, crime,
        substance abuse, or child soldiery.
            (4) A January 2000 United States National Intelligence
        Estimate (NIE) report on the global infectious disease threat
        concluded that the economic costs of infectious diseases--
        especially HIV/AIDS--are already significant and could reduce
        gross domestic product by 20 percent or more by 2010 in some
        sub-Saharan African nations.
            (5) Despite the discouraging statistics on the spread of
        HIV/AIDS, some developing nations, such as Uganda, Senegal, and
        Thailand, have implemented prevention programs that have
        substantially curbed the rate of HIV infection.
            (6) Accordingly, because infectious diseases do not respect
        international boundaries, United States financial support for
        medical research, education, and disease containment as a
        global strategy has enormous benefits for all Americans.
            (7) Given the cost of combating AIDS and other infectious
        diseases worldwide, a contribution to the Global Fund to Fight
        AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria of all Special Drawing Rights
        authorized to be allocated to the United States under a
        proposed Fourth Amendment to the Articles of Agreement of the
        International Monetary Fund would be a significant step in
        combating this epidemic.
            (8) In September 1997, the international community endorsed
        the proposed Fourth Amendment, but the amendment has not been
        implemented because the Executive Branch has not requested
        Congressional authorization for United States approval of the
        Fourth Amendment.
            (9) The proposed Fourth Amendment has been accepted by 109
        of the 110 members of the International Monetary Fund,
        representing 72.18 percent of the total voting power of the
        International Monetary Fund.
            (10) Whereas approval of the proposed Fourth Amendment by
        the United States, which holds 17.16 percent of the voting
        power at the International Monetary Fund, would enable the
        Special Drawing Rights to be allocated to the United States.
            (11) The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and
        Malaria is a method for leveraging resources from donor nations
        to meet the extraordinary need for resources by creating a much
        stronger multilateral ``burden-sharing'' approach to combating
        the HIV/AIDS crisis.

SEC. 2. ACCEPTANCE OF FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT OF
              THE FUND; CONTRIBUTION OF SPECIAL DRAWING RIGHTS TO THE
              GLOBAL FUND TO FIGHT AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS AND MALARIA.

    The Bretton Woods Agreements Act (22 U.S.C. 286-286nn) is amended
by adding at the end the following:

``SEC. 64. ACCEPTANCE OF FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT
              OF THE FUND; CONTRIBUTION OF SPECIAL DRAWING RIGHTS TO
              THE GLOBAL FUND TO FIGHT AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS AND MALARIA.

    ``(a) Acceptance of Fourth Amendment to the Articles of
Agreement.--The United States Governor of the Fund shall, on behalf of
the United States, accept the amendments to the Articles of Agreement
of the Fund approved in resolution numbered 52-4 of the Board of
Governors of the Fund.
    ``(b) Contribution of Special Drawing Rights to the Global Fund To
Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.--
            ``(1) Instruction to seek agreement to allow the global
        fund to hold special drawing rights.--The Secretary of the
        Treasury shall instruct the United States Executive Director at
        the Fund to seek an agreement to include the Bank, in its
        capacity as administrator of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS,
        Tuberculosis and Malaria, as a prescribed holder of Special
        Drawing Rights.
            ``(2) Contributions.--On achieving the agreement described
        in paragraph (1), the Secretary of the Treasury shall provide
        for the contribution to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS,
        Tuberculosis and Malaria, in each of fiscal years 2004 through
        2006, of \1/3\ of the Special Drawing Rights received by the
        United States pursuant to the amendments referred to in
        subsection (a).
    ``(c) Negotiations To Urge Other Fund Members To Make Similar
Contributions to the Global Fund.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall
seek to enter into negotiations for the purpose of inducing the member
countries of the Fund to contribute to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS,
Tuberculosis and Malaria the Special Drawing Rights allocated pursuant
to the amendments referred to in subsection (a).''.

Output: Amends the Bretton Woods Agreements Act to direct the U.S. Governor of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to accept, on behalf of the United States, the fourth amendment to the Articles of Agreement of the IMF approved in resolution numbered 52- 4 of the IMF's Board of Governors.Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to: (1) instruct the U.S. Executive Director at the IMF to seek an agreement to include the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank), in its capacity as administrator of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, as a prescribed holder of Special Drawing Rights; (2) upon achieving an agreement, provide for the contribution of one-third of the Special Drawing Rights received by the United States to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; and (3) seek to enter into negotiations to induce IMF member countries to contribute their allocated Special Drawing Rights to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention Act
of 2007''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Shaken Baby Syndrome is a term used to describe the
        constellation of symptoms, trauma, and medical conditions
        resulting from the violent shaking, or abusive impact to the
        head, of an infant, toddler or other young child.
            (2) Shaken Baby Syndrome is a form of child abuse affecting
        between 1,200 and 1,600 children every year.
            (3) Children who are age 1 or younger accounted for 41.9
        percent of all child abuse and neglect fatalities in 2005, and
        children who are age 4 or younger accounted for 76.6 percent of
        all child abuse and neglect facilities in 2005.
            (4) The most recent National Child Abuse and Neglect Data
        System figures reveal that almost 900,000 children were victims
        of abuse and neglect in the United States in 2005. That abuse
        and neglect caused unspeakable pain and suffering to the
        Nation's most vulnerable citizens.
            (5) It is estimated that between one-quarter and one-third
        of Shaken Baby Syndrome victims die as a result of their
        injuries, while one-third suffer permanent, severe disabilities
        including paralysis, seizures, loss of hearing or vision,
        cognitive impairments, and other disabilities, often resulting
        in a lifetime of extraordinary medical, educational, and care
        expenses.
            (6) Shaken Baby Syndrome is preventable. Prevention
        programs have demonstrated that educating new parents and other
        caregivers about the danger of shaking young children, healthy
        strategies for coping with infant crying, infant soothing
        skills, and how to protect children from injury can bring about
        a significant reduction in the number of cases of Shaken Baby
        Syndrome.
            (7) Efforts to prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome are supported
        by child welfare and advocacy groups across the United States,
        including many groups formed by parents and relatives of
        children who have been killed or injured by the syndrome.
            (8) Education programs have been shown to raise awareness
        about Shaken Baby Syndrome and provide critically important
        information about the syndrome to caregivers, day care workers,
        child protection employees, law enforcement personnel, health
        care providers, and legal representatives.
            (9) Education programs can give parents healthy strategies
        for dealing with a crying infant and change the knowledge and
        behavior of parents of young children.

SEC. 3. PUBLIC HEALTH CAMPAIGN.

    (a) In General.--
            (1) Development.--The Secretary of Health and Human

                which have a role to play in prevention of the
                syndrome.
            (3) Communication, education, and training.--The Secretary
        shall carry out communication, education, and training about

                through the materials; and
                    (ii) coordinating activities carried out under
                clause (i) with national and Federal awareness
                activities, such as the activities accompanying Shaken

                        physicians, and other health care providers,
                        are aware of ways to prevent abusive head
                        trauma and other forms of child maltreatment,
                        and the need to secure immediate medical

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``National Police Athletic League
Youth Enrichment Act of 1999''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The goals of the Police Athletic League are to--
                    (A) increase the academic success of youth
                participants in PAL programs;
                    (B) promote a safe, healthy environment for youth
                under the supervision of law enforcement personnel
                where mutual trust and respect can be built;
                    (C) increase school attendance by providing
                alternatives to suspensions and expulsions;
                    (D) reduce the juvenile crime rate in participating
                designated communities and the number of police calls
                involving juveniles during nonschool hours;
                    (E) provide youths with alternatives to drugs,
                alcohol, tobacco, and gang activity;
                    (F) create positive communications and interaction
                between youth and law enforcement personnel; and
                    (G) prepare youth for the workplace.
            (2) The Police Athletic League, during its 55-year history
        as a national organization, has proven to be a positive force
        in the communities it serves.
            (3) The Police Athletic League is a network of 1,700
        facilities serving over 3,000 communities. There are 320 PAL
        chapters throughout the United States, the Virgin Islands, and
        the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, serving 1,500,000 youths, ages
        5 to 18, nationwide.
            (4) Based on PAL chapter demographics, approximately 82
        percent of the youths who benefit from PAL programs live in
        inner cities and urban areas.
            (5) PAL chapters are locally operated, volunteer-driven
        organizations. Although most PAL chapters are sponsored by a
        law enforcement agency, PAL chapters receive no direct funding
        from law enforcement agencies and are dependent in large part
        on support from the private sector, such as individuals,
        business leaders, corporations, and foundations. PAL chapters
        have been exceptionally successful in balancing public funds
        with private sector donations and maximizing community
        involvement.
            (6) Today's youth face far greater risks than did their
        parents and grandparents. Law enforcement statistics
        demonstrate that youth between the ages of 12 and 17 are at
        risk of committing violent acts and being victims of violent
        acts between the hours of 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.
            (7) Greater numbers of students are dropping out of school
        and failing in school, even though the consequences of academic
        failure are more dire in 1999 than ever before.
            (8) Many distressed areas in the United States are still
        underserved by PAL chapters.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

    The purpose of this Act is to provide adequate resources in the
form of--
            (1) assistance for the 320 established PAL chapters to
        increase of services to the communities they are serving; and
            (2) seed money for the establishment of 250 (50 per year
        over a 5-year period) additional local PAL chapters in public
        housing projects and other distressed areas, including
        distressed areas with a majority population of Native
        Americans, by not later than fiscal year 2005.
