        applicable dollar threshold (as defined in section 3121(y)(2) 
        of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) for such year. As used in

                    (C) the extent to which caseload size and resource 
                limitations contribute to the failures identified 
                pursuant to subparagraph (B);
            (3) determine the extent to which the rules and practices 
        identified under paragraph (1) or (2) are in accord with

                purposes of such parts B and E, including the goal of 
                appropriate permanent placement for each child; and
                    (B) are imposing significant administrative burdens 
                on the State court system; and

                protective services programs;
                    (C) additional education or training of State court 
                judges, or of personnel of the judicial system or of 
                the State agencies described in subparagraph (B);
                    (D) collection or dissemination of additional data 
                or information for purposes of increasing the

amended by section 13229 of this Act, is amended by inserting after 
section 1129 the following:

``SEC. 1130. EFFECT OF FAILURE TO CARRY OUT STATE PLAN.

    ``In an action brought to enforce a provision of the Social 
Security Act, such provision is not to be deemed unenforceable because 
of its inclusion in a section of the Act requiring a State plan or 
specifying the required contents of a State plan. This section is not 
intended to limit or expand the grounds for determining the 
availability of private actions to enforce State plan requirements 
other than by overturning any such grounds applied in Suter v. Artist 
M., 112 S. Ct. 1360 (1992), but not applied in prior Supreme Court 
decisions respecting such enforceability: Provided, however, That this 
section is not intended to alter the holding in Suter v. Artist M. that 
section 471(a)(15) of the Act is not enforceable in a private right of 
action.''.
    (b) Applicability.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall 
apply to actions pending on the date of the enactment of this Act and 
to actions brought on or after such date of enactment.

                acknowledging paternity, and afford due process 
                safeguards. Such procedures must include (i) a 
                hospital-based program for the voluntary acknowledgment 
                of paternity during the period immediately before or 
                after the birth of a child, and (ii) the inclusion of

                acknowledgment of paternity of a child by an individual 
                in the manner described in subparagraph (C)(ii) creates 
                a rebuttable or, at the option of the State, conclusive 
                presumption that the individual is the father of the 
                child, and under which such a voluntary acknowledgment 
                is admissible as evidence of paternity.
                    ``(E) Procedures under which a voluntary 
                acknowledgment of paternity in the manner described in 
                subparagraph (C)(ii) must be recognized as a basis for 
                seeking a support order without first requiring any 
                further proceedings to establish paternity.
                    ``(F) Procedures requiring that (i) any objection 
                to genetic testing results be made in writing within a

                foundation testimony or other proof of authenticity or 
                accuracy.
                    ``(G) Procedures which create a rebuttable or, at 
                the option of the State, conclusive presumption of 
                paternity of a child, upon genetic testing results 
                indicating a threshold probability of the alleged 
                father being the father of the child.
                    ``(H) Procedures requiring a default order to be 
                entered in a paternity case upon a showing that process

        thereof having administrative responsibility for the law 
        involved, the social security account number (or numbers, if 
        the parent has more than 1 such number) issued to the parent, 
        unless the State (in accordance with regulations prescribed by 
        the Secretary) finds good cause for not requiring the 
        furnishing of the number.
            ``(B) Procedures under which any number furnished under

                support purposes, unless section 7(a) of the Privacy 
                Act of 1974 does not prohibit the State from requiring 
                the disclosure of the number, by reason of the State 
                having adopted, before January 1, 1975, a statute or 
                regulation requiring such disclosure.''.
                    (B) Conforming amendments.--Section 
                205(c)(2)(C)(ii) (42 U.S.C. 405(c)(2)(C)(ii)) is 
                amended--

repealed.
    (d) Effective Date.--The amendments and repeal made by this section 
shall become effective with respect to a State--

        Government to reduce the rate at which, and the degree to 
        which, families depend on income from welfare programs, and the 
        duration of welfare participation, to assist families toward 
        self-sufficiency, and to increase the living standards of low-
        income families, consistent with other essential national 
        goals;
            (2) it is the policy of the United States to strengthen 
        families and improve the life prospects of their children, to 
        ensure that children grow up in families that are economically 
        self-sufficient, and to underscore the responsibility of 
        parents to support their children;
            (3) the Federal Government should help welfare recipients 
        as well as individuals at risk of welfare participation to 
        improve their education and job skills, to obtain access to 
        high quality child care and other necessary support services, 
        and to take such other steps as may assist them to meet their 
        responsibilities to become financially independent; and
            (4) it is the purpose of this section to provide the public 
        with generally accepted measures of welfare participation so 
        that the public can track such participation over time and 
        determine whether progress is being made in reducing the rate 
        at which, and the degree to which, families depend on income 
        from welfare programs, and the duration of welfare

                        unless the attending physician certifies that 
                        the risk associated with transferring the 
                        patient to a hospital for such services 
                        outweighs the benefits of transferring the

        the previous year in which the designation was in effect 
        exceeded 72 hours. In determining the compliance of a facility 
        with the requirement of the previous sentence, there shall not 
        be taken into account periods of stay of inpatients in excess 
        of 72 hours to the extent such periods exceed 72 hours because 
        transfer to a hospital is precluded because of inclement 
        weather or other emergency conditions.''.

            (3) Secretary standards.--If the NAIC does not make the 
        modifications described in paragraph (2) within the period 
        specified in such paragraph, the Secretary of Health and Human

                        program to the changes made by this section, or
                            (ii) 1 year after the date the NAIC or the 
                        Secretary first makes the modifications under

                        legislation appropriating funds) to conform its 
                        regulatory program to the changes made in this 
                        section, but

                        scheduled to meet in 1994 in a legislative 
                        session in which such legislation may be 
                        considered,
                the date specified in this paragraph is the first day 
                of the first calendar quarter beginning after the close

                For purposes of the previous sentence, in the case of a 
                State that has a 2-year legislative session, each year 
                of such session shall be deemed to be a separate 
                regular session of the State legislature.
