SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``America's Fund for Future 
Opportunities and Outcomes in the United States Act of 2013'' or 
``America's FOCUS Act of 2013''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States faces increasing competition from 
        countries with populations of a billion or more inhabitants, 
        who contribute to the human capital of these countries and 
        improve their performance in the global economy.
            (2) To ensure that the United States retains its leadership 
        position in the global economy, the United States should 
        maximize the opportunities and outcomes of its citizenry.
            (3) The United States can achieve this goal by investing in 
        STEM education and character development for youth, justice 
        reinvestment efforts, and innovations in medical research and 
        development.
            (4) To fund these investments in the public interest, the 
        United States should use revenue generated by acts perpetrated 
        against the public interest.
            (5) As corporate and financial wrongdoing touches the lives 
        of all Americans, revenue generated by such acts should serve 
        as the basis for these investments.
            (6) This revenue should be used to assist programs and 
        organizations seeking to better the Nation through their work 
        in the youth mentoring, justice reinvestment, and medical 
        research fields.
            (7) In 1998, Congress issued Federal charters to the Boys 
        and Girls Clubs of America and Big Brothers Big Sisters of 
        America in recognition of their work helping children reach 
        their full potential and succeed in American public life. Youth 
        mentoring organizations still carry out this work and are 
        putting children on the path to self-sufficiency. These 
        organizations include--
                    (A) the Boys and Girls Clubs of America;
                    (B) Big Brothers Big Sisters of America;
                    (C) National CARES Mentoring Movement;
                    (D) the First Tee;
                    (E) Amachi;
                    (F) FIRST Robotics;
                    (G) the U.S. DREAM Academy;
                    (H) GEAR UP;
                    (I) the YMCA;
                    (J) Civil Air Patrol;
                    (K) the National Council of Youth Sports;
                    (L) Girls Inc.; and
                    (M) National Urban League.
            (8) Innovations in medical research and development 
        significantly benefit the American people. For example, through 
        innovations in the diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening 
        diseases, Americans are now living longer and more productive 
        lives, contributing to the economic growth of the United 
        States. Additional investments in medical research and 
        development will contribute to overall public health and 
        productivity in America.
            (9) Through participation in the Justice Reinvestment 
        Initiative, State governments have implemented evidence-based 
        criminal justice reforms. These reforms are cost effective, 
        redirecting revenue to better serve the public safety needs of 
        local communities. In addition, these reforms have decreased 
        risks of recidivism and instituted alternatives to 
        incarceration for non-violent offenders. According to a July 
        2013 report from the Urban Institute, States participating in 
        the Justice Reinvestment Initiative may achieve $3.3 billion in 
        savings over the next 10 years. Additional funding to the 
        Initiative would better enable State and local governments to 
        carry out this work and achieve these savings.
