       TITLE II--PROMOTION OF MARRIAGE AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

                      Subtitle A--Welfare Benefits

SEC. 201. PROMOTION OF FAMILIES.

    (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) marriage is the foundation of a successful society;
            (2) marriage is an essential social institution which 
        promotes the interests of children and society at large;
            (3) the negative consequences of an out-of-wedlock birth on 
        the child, the mother, and society are well documented as 
        follows:
                    (A) the illegitimacy rate among black Americans was 
                26 percent in 1965, but today the rate is 68 percent 
                and climbing;
                    (B) the illegitimacy rate among white Americans has 
                risen tenfold, from 2.29 percent in 1960 to 22 percent 
                today;
                    (C) the total of all out-of-wedlock births between 
                1970 and 1991 has risen from 10 percent to 30 percent 
                and if the current trend continues, 50 percent of all 
                births by the year 2015 will be out-of-wedlock;
                    (D) 82 percent of illegitimate births among whites 
                are to women with a high school education or less;
                    (E) the one-parent family is six times more likely 
                to be poor than the two-parent family;
                    (F) children born into families receiving welfare 
                assistance are three times more likely to be on welfare 
                when they reach adulthood;
                    (G) teenage single parent mothering is the single 
                biggest contributor to low birth weight babies;
                    (H) children born out-of-wedlock are more likely to 
                experience low verbal cognitive attainment, child 
                abuse, and neglect;
                    (I) young people from single parent or stepparent 
                families are two to three times more likely to have 
                emotional or behavioral problems than those from intact 
                families;
                    (J) young white women who were raised in a single 
                parent family are 164 percent more likely to have 
                children out-of-wedlock, 111 percent more likely to 
                become parents as teenagers, and 92 percent more likely 
                to have their marriages end in divorce;
                    (K) the younger the single parent mother, the less 
                likely she is to finish high school;
                    (L) young women who have children before finishing 
                high school are more likely to receive welfare 
                assistance for a longer period of time;
                    (M) between 1985 and 1990, the public cost of 
                births to teenage mothers under the aid to families 
                with dependent children program, the food stamp 
                program, and the medicaid program has been estimated at 
                $120 billion;
                    (N) the absence of a father in the life of a child 
                has a negative effect on school performance and peer 
                adjustment;
                    (O) the likelihood that a young black man will 
                engage in criminal activities doubles if he is raised 
                without a father and triples if he lives in a 
                neighborhood with a high concentration of single parent 
                families; and
                    (P) the greater the incidence of single parent 
                families in a neighborhood, the higher the incidence of 
                violent crime and burglary; and
            (4) in light of this demonstration of the crisis in our 
        Nation, the reduction of out-of-wedlock births is an important 
        government interest and the policy contained in provisions of 
        this title address the crisis.

        Subtitle C--Removal of Barriers to Interethnic Adoption

SEC. 221. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) nearly 500,000 children are in foster care in the 
        United States;
            (2) tens of thousands of children in foster care are 
        waiting for adoption;
            (3) 2 years and 8 months is the median length of time that 
        children wait to be adopted;
            (4) child welfare agencies should work to eliminate racial, 
        ethnic, and national origin discrimination and bias in adoption 
        and foster care recruitment, selection, and placement 
        procedures; and
            (5) active, creative, and diligent efforts are needed to 
        recruit parents, from every race and culture, for children 
        needing foster care or adoptive parents.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this subtitle is to decrease the 
length of time that children wait to be adopted and to prevent 
discrimination in the placement of children on the basis of race, 
color, or national origin.

SEC. 222. MULTIETHNIC PLACEMENTS.

    (a) Activities.--
            (1) Prohibition.--An agency, or entity, that receives 
        Federal assistance and is involved in adoption or foster care 
        placements may not--
                    (A) categorically deny to any person the 
                opportunity to become an adoptive or a foster parent, 
                on the basis of the race, color, or national origin of 
                the adoptive or foster parent, or the child, involved; 
                or
                    (B) delay or deny the placement of a child for 
                adoption or into foster care, or otherwise discriminate 
                in making a placement decision, on the basis of the 
                race, color, or national origin of the adoptive or 
                foster parent, or the child, involved.
            (2) Permissible consideration.--An agency or entity to 
        which paragraph (1) applies may consider the race, color, or 
        national origin of a child as a factor in making a placement 
        decision if such factor is relevant to the best interests of 
        the child involved and is considered in conjunction with other 
        factors.
            (3) Definition.--As used in this subsection, the term 
        ``placement decision'' means the decision to place, or to delay 
        or deny the placement of, a child in a foster care or an 
        adoptive home, and includes the decision of the agency or 
        entity involved to seek the termination of birth parent rights 
        or otherwise make a child legally available for adoptive 
        placement.
    (b) Limitation.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall 
not provide placement and administrative funds under section 474(a)(3) 
of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 674(a)(3)) to an agency or entity 
described in subsection (a) that is not in compliance with subsection 
(a).
    (c) Equitable Relief.--Any individual who is aggrieved by an action 
in violation of subsection (a), taken by an agency or entity described 
in subsection (a), shall have the right to bring an action seeking 
relief in a United States district court of appropriate jurisdiction.
    (d) Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
affect the application of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (25 
U.S.C. 1901 et seq.).

                one with respect to which universal employment 
                reporting would improve child support enforcement in a 
                cost-effective manner, to annually file with the 
                employer a W-4 form indicating--
                            (i) whether the employee owes a qualified 
                        child support obligation; and

                    (C) One-time updating of w-4 information of all 
                employees.--The system shall require each employee to 
                file with the employer, during a period that the State 
                in which the employee is employed has prescribed 
                pursuant to section 466(a)(12)(B) of the Social

                issued by a court of any State or an order of an 
                administrative process established under the law of any 
                State.

                information in the State registry of child support 
                orders established pursuant to section 466(a)(13) of 
                the Social Security Act and with requests from other 
                States for information on the location of noncustodial

                    (C) maintains updated employment information on all 
                individuals employed in the State in a manner that 
                enables the State to effectively respond to such 
                requests; and
                    (D) requires all employers in the State, on receipt 
                of a notice from the State that an employee owes a 
                qualified child support obligation, to begin
