SEC. 111. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--

        and use of firearms currently exist at the Federal, State, and 
        local level;
            (2) there have been an extremely low number of prosecutions 
        for Federal firearms violations;
            (3) programs such a Project Exile have succeeded in 
        dramatically decreasing homicide and gun-related crimes; and
            (4) enhanced punishment and aggressive prosecution for 
        crimes committed with firearms, or possessing a firearm during 
        commission of a crime, are common sense solutions to deter gun 
        violence.

SEC. 112. CONSTITUTIONALITY OF MEMORIAL SERVICES AND MEMORIALS AT 
              PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress of the United States finds that the 
saying of a prayer, the reading of a scripture, or the performance of 
religious music, as part of a memorial service that is held on the 
campus of a public school in order to honor the memory of any person 
slain on that campus does not violate the First Amendment to the 
Constitution of the United States, and that the design and construction 
of any memorial which includes religious symbols, motifs, or sayings 
that is placed on the campus of a public school in order to honor the 
memory of any person slain on that campus does not violate the First 
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
    (b) Lawsuits.--In any lawsuit claiming that the type of memorial or 
memorial service described in subsection (a) violates the Constitution 
of the United States--
            (1) each party shall pay its own attorney's fee and costs, 
        notwithstanding any other provision of law; and
            (2) the Attorney General is authorized to provide legal 
        assistance to the school district or other government entity 
        that is defending the legality of such memorial service.

SEC. 113. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS WITH REGARD TO VIOLENCE AND THE 
              ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Incidents of tragic school violence have risen over the 
        past few years.
            (2) Our children are being desensitized by the increase of 
        gun violence shown on television, movies, and video games.
            (3) According to the American Medical Association, by the 
        time an average child reaches age 18, he or she has witnessed 
        more than 200,000 acts of violence on television, including 
        16,000 murders.
            (4) Children who listen to explicit music lyrics, play 
        video ``killing'' games, or go to violent action movies get 
        further brainwashed into thinking that violence is socially 
        acceptable and without consequence.
            (5) No industry does more to glorify gun violence than some 
        elements of the motion picture industry.
            (6) Children are particularly susceptible to the influence 
        of violent subject matter.
            (7) The entertainment industry uses wanton violence in its 
        advertising campaigns directed at young people.
            (8) Alternatives should be developed and considered to 
        discourage the exposure of children to violent subject matter.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
the entertainment industry--
            (1) has been irresponsible in the development of its 
        products and the marketing of those products to America's 
        youth;
            (2) must recognize the power and influence it has over the 
        behavior of our Nation's youth; and
            (3) must do everything in its power to stop these 
        portrayals of pointless acts of brutality by immediately 
        eliminating gratuitous violence in movies, television, music, 
        and video games.

SEC. 116. SURGEON GENERAL REVIEW OF EFFECT ON JUVENILES OF VIOLENCE IN 
              MEDIA.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) the tragic killings at a high school in Colorado remind 
        us that violence in America continues to occur at unacceptable 
        levels for a civilized society;
            (2) the relationship of violent messages delivered through 
        such popular media as television, radio, film, recordings, 
        video games, advertising, the Internet, and other outlets of 
        mass culture, to self-destructive or violent behavior by 
        children or young adults towards themselves, such as suicide, 
        or to violence directed at others, has been studied intensely 
        both by segments of the media industry itself and by academic 
        institutions;
            (3) the same media used to deliver messages which harm our 
        children can also be used to deliver messages which promote 
        positive behavior;
            (4) much of this research has occurred in the 17 years 
        since the last major review and report of the literature was 
        assembled by the National Institute on Mental Health published 
        in 1982;
            (5) the Surgeon General of the United States last issued a 
        comprehensive report on violence and the media in 1972; and
            (6) the number, pervasiveness, and sophistication of 
        technological avenues for delivering messages through the media 
        to young people has expanded rapidly since these two reports.
    (b) Comprehensive Review Required.--The Surgeon General, in 
cooperation with the National Institute of Mental Health, and such 
other sources of expertise as the Surgeon General deems appropriate, 
shall undertake a comprehensive review of published research, analysis, 
studies, and other sources of reliable information concerning the 
impact on the health and welfare of children and young adults of 
violent messages delivered through such popular media as television, 
radio, recordings, video games, advertising, the Internet, and other 
outlets of mass culture.
    (c) Report.--The Surgeon General shall issue a report based on the 
review required by subsection (b). Such report shall include, but not 
be limited to, findings and recommendations concerning what can be done 
to mitigate any harmful affects on children and young adults from the 
violent messages described in such subsection, and the identification 
of gaps in the research that should be filled.
    (d) Deadlines.--The review required by subsection (b) shall be 
completed in no more than 1 year, and the report required by subsection 
(c) shall be issued no later than 6 months following completion of the 
review.

 Subtitle A--Amendments to Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention 
                              Act of 1974

SEC. 1302. FINDINGS.

    Section 101 of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act 
of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5601) is amended to read as follows:

                               ``findings

    ``Sec. 101. (a) The Congress finds the following:
            ``(1) There has been a dramatic increase in juvenile 
        delinquency, particularly violent crime committed by juveniles. 
        Weapons offenses and homicides are two of the fastest growing 
        crimes committed by juveniles. More than one-half of juvenile 
        victims are killed with a firearm. Approximately one-fifth of 
        the individuals arrested for committing violent crime are less 
        than 18 years of age. The increase in both the number of youth 
        below the age of 15 and females arrested for violent crime is 
        cause for concern.
            ``(2) This problem should be addressed through a 2-track 
        common sense approach that addresses the needs of individual 
        juveniles and society at large by promoting--
                    ``(A) quality prevention programs that--
                            ``(i) work with juveniles, their families, 
                        local public agencies, and community-based 
                        organizations, and take into consideration such 
                        factors as whether or not juveniles have been 
                        the victims of family violence (including child 
                        abuse and neglect); and
                            ``(ii) are designed to reduce risks and 
                        develop competencies in at-risk juveniles that 
                        will prevent, and reduce the rate of, violent 
                        delinquent behavior; and
                    ``(B) programs that assist in holding juveniles 
                accountable for their actions, including a system of 
                graduated sanctions to respond to each delinquent act, 
                requiring juveniles to make restitution, or perform 
                community service, for the damage caused by their 
                delinquent acts, and methods for increasing victim 
                satisfaction with respect to the penalties imposed on 
                juveniles for their acts.
    ``(b) Congress must act now to reform this program by focusing on 
juvenile delinquency prevention programs, as well as programs that hold 
juveniles accountable for their acts. Without true reform, the criminal 
justice system will not be able to overcome the challenges it will face 
in the coming years when the number of juveniles is expected to 
increase by 30 percent.''.

            ``(9) for 14 years, the National Center for Missing and 
        Exploited Children has--
                    ``(A) served as the national resource center and 
                clearinghouse congressionally mandated under the 
                provisions of the Missing Children's Assistance Act of 
                1984; and

                Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the 
                Department of the Treasury, the Department of State, 
                and many other agencies in the effort to find missing 
                children and prevent child victimization;
            ``(10) Congress has given the Center, which is a private 
        non-profit corporation, access to the National Crime 
        Information Center of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and 
        the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System;
            ``(11) since 1987, the Center has operated the National 
        Child Pornography Tipline, in conjunction with the United 
        States Customs Service and the United States Postal Inspection 
        Service and, beginning this year, the Center established a new 
        CyberTipline on child exploitation, thus becoming `the 911 for 
        the Internet';
            ``(12) in light of statistics that time is of the essence 
        in cases of child abduction, the Director of the Federal Bureau 
        of Investigation in February of 1997 created a new NCIC child 
        abduction (`CA') flag to provide the Center immediate 
        notification in the most serious cases, resulting in 642 `CA' 
        notifications to the Center and helping the Center to have its 
        highest recovery rate in history;
            ``(13) the Center has established a national and 
        increasingly worldwide network, linking the Center online with 
        each of the missing children clearinghouses operated by the 50 
        States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, as well as 
        with Scotland Yard in the United Kingdom, the Royal Canadian 
        Mounted Police, INTERPOL headquarters in Lyon, France, and 
        others, which has enabled the Center to transmit images and 
        information regarding missing children to law enforcement 
        across the United States and around the world instantly;
            ``(14) from its inception in 1984 through March 31, 1998, 
        the Center has--
                    ``(A) handled 1,203,974 calls through its 24-hour 
                toll-free hotline (1-800-THE-LOST) and currently 
                averages 700 calls per day;

                59,481 missing children, resulting in the recovery of 
                40,180 children;
            ``(15) the demand for the services of the Center is growing 
        dramatically, as evidenced by the fact that in 1997, the Center 
        handled 129,100 calls, an all-time record, and by the fact that 
        its new Internet website (www.missingkids.com) receives 
        1,500,000 `hits' every day, and is linked with hundreds of 
        other websites to provide real-time images of breaking cases of 
        missing children;
            ``(16) in 1997, the Center provided policy training to 256 
        police chiefs and sheriffs from 50 States and Guam at its new 
        Jimmy Ryce Law Enforcement Training Center;
            ``(17) the programs of the Center have had a remarkable 
        impact, such as in the fight against infant abductions in 
        partnership with the healthcare industry, during which the 
        Center has performed 668 onsite hospital walk-throughs and 
        inspections, and trained 45,065 hospital administrators, 
        nurses, and security personnel, and thereby helped to reduce 
        infant abductions in the United States by 82 percent;
            ``(18) the Center is now playing a significant role in 
        international child abduction cases, serving as a 
        representative of the Department of State at cases under The 
        Hague Convention, and successfully resolving the cases of 343 
        international child abductions, and providing greater support 
        to parents in the United States;
            ``(19) the Center is a model of public/private partnership, 
        raising private sector funds to match congressional 
        appropriations and receiving extensive private in-kind support, 
        including advanced technology provided by the computer industry 
        such as imaging technology used to age the photographs of long-
        term missing children and to reconstruct facial images of 
        unidentified deceased children;
            ``(20) the Center was one of only 10 of 300 major national 
        charities given an A+ grade in 1997 by the American Institute 
        of Philanthropy; and
            ``(21) the Center has been redesignated as the Nation's 
        missing children clearinghouse and resource center once every 3 
        years through a competitive selection process conducted by the 
        Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention of the 
        Department of Justice, and has received grants from that Office 
        to conduct the crucial purposes of the Center.''.

Act (42 U.S.C. 5772) is amended--

                 TITLE XV--TEACHER LIABILITY PROTECTION

SEC. 1501. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Teacher Liability Protection Act 
of 1999''.

SEC. 1502. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The ability of teachers, principals and other school 
        professionals to teach, inspire and shape the intellect of our 
        Nation's elementary and secondary school students is deterred 
        and hindered by frivolous lawsuits and litigation.
            (2) Each year more and more teachers, principals and other 
        school professionals face lawsuits for actions undertaken as 
        part of their duties to provide millions of school children 
        quality educational opportunities.
            (3) Too many teachers, principals and other school 
        professionals face increasingly severe and random acts of 
        violence in the classroom and in schools.
            (4) Providing teachers, principals and other school 
        professionals a safe and secure environment is an important 
        part of the effort to improve and expand educational 
        opportunities.
            (5) Clarifying and limiting the liability of teachers, 
        principals and other school professionals who undertake 
        reasonable actions to maintain order, discipline and an 
        appropriate educational environment is an appropriate subject 
        of Federal legislation because--
                    (A) the scope of the problems created by the 
                legitimate fears of teachers, principals and other 
                school professionals about frivolous, arbitrary or 
                capricious lawsuits against teachers is of national 
                importance; and
                    (B) millions of children and their families across 
                the Nation depend on teachers, principals and other 
                school professionals for the intellectual development 
                of children.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to provide teachers, 
principals and other school professionals the tools they need to 
undertake reasonable actions to maintain order, discipline and an 
appropriate educational environment.

SEC. 1503. PREEMPTION AND ELECTION OF STATE NONAPPLICABILITY.

    (a) Preemption.--This title preempts the laws of any State to the 
extent that such laws are inconsistent with this title, except that 
this title shall not preempt any State law that provides additional 
protection from liability relating to teachers.
    (b) Election of State Regarding Nonapplicability.--This title shall 
not apply to any civil action in a State court against a teacher in 
which all parties are citizens of the State if such State enacts a 
statute in accordance with State requirements for enacting 
legislation--
            (1) citing the authority of this subsection;
            (2) declaring the election of such State that this title 
        shall not apply, as of a date certain, to such civil action in 
        the State; and
            (3) containing no other provisions.

SEC. 1504. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY FOR TEACHERS.

    (a) Liability Protection for Teachers.--Except as provided in 
subsections (b) and (c), no teacher in a school shall be liable for 
harm caused by an act or omission of the teacher on behalf of the 
school if--
            (1) the teacher was acting within the scope of the 
        teacher's employment or responsibilities related to providing 
        educational services;
            (2) the actions of the teacher were carried out in 
        conformity with local, state, or federal laws, rules or 
        regulations in furtherance of efforts to control, discipline, 
        expel, or suspend a student or maintain order or control in the 
        classroom or school;
            (3) if appropriate or required, the teacher was properly 
        licensed, certified, or authorized by the appropriate 
        authorities for the activities or practice in the State in 
        which the harm occurred, where the activities were or practice 
        was undertaken within the scope of the teacher's 
        responsibilities;
            (4) the harm was not caused by willful or criminal 
        misconduct, gross negligence, reckless misconduct, or a 
        conscious, flagrant indifference to the rights or safety of the 
        individual harmed by the teacher; and
            (5) the harm was not caused by the teacher operating a 
        motor vehicle, vessel, aircraft, or other vehicle for which the 
        State requires the operator or the owner of the vehicle, craft, 
        or vessel to--
                    (A) possess an operator's license; or
                    (B) maintain insurance.
    (b) Concerning Responsibility of Teachers to Schools and 
Governmental Entities.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
affect any civil action brought by any school or any governmental 
entity against any teacher of such school.
    (c) Exceptions to Teacher Liability Protection.--If the laws of a 
State limit teacher liability subject to one or more of the following 
conditions, such conditions shall not be construed as inconsistent with 
this section:
            (1) A State law that requires a school or governmental 
        entity to adhere to risk management procedures, including 
        mandatory training of teachers.
            (2) A State law that makes the school or governmental 
        entity liable for the acts or omissions of its teachers to the 
        same extent as an employer is liable for the acts or omissions 
        of its employees.
            (3) A State law that makes a limitation of liability 
        inapplicable if the civil action was brought by an officer of a 
        State or local government pursuant to State or local law.
    (d) Limitation on Punitive Damages Based on the Actions of 
Teachers.--
            (1) General rule.--Punitive damages may not be awarded 
        against a teacher in an action brought for harm based on the 
        action of a teacher acting within the scope of the teacher's 
        responsibilities to a school or governmental entity unless the 
        claimant establishes by clear and convincing evidence that the 
        harm was proximately caused by an action of such teacher which 
        constitutes willful or criminal misconduct, or a conscious, 
        flagrant indifference to the rights or safety of the individual 
        harmed.
            (2) Construction.--Paragraph (1) does not create a cause of 
        action for punitive damages and does not preempt or supersede 
        any Federal or State law to the extent that such law would 
        further limit the award of punitive damages.
    (e) Exceptions to Limitations on Liability.--
            (1) In general.--The limitations on the liability of a 
        teacher under this title shall not apply to any misconduct 
        that--
                    (A) constitutes a crime of violence (as that term 
                is defined in section 16 of title 18, United States 
                Code) or act of international terrorism (as that term 
                is defined in section 2331 of title 18, United States 
                Code) for which the defendant has been convicted in any 
                court;
                    (B) involves a sexual offense, as defined by 
                applicable State law, for which the defendant has been 
                convicted in any court;
                    (C) involves misconduct for which the defendant has 
                been found to have violated a Federal or State civil 
                rights law; or
                    (D) where the defendant was under the influence (as 
                determined pursuant to applicable State law) of 
                intoxicating alcohol or any drug at the time of the 
                misconduct.
            (2) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this subsection shall 
        be construed to effect subsection (a)(3) or (d).

SEC. 1505. LIABILITY FOR NONECONOMIC LOSS.

an action of a teacher acting within the scope of the teacher's 
responsibilities to a school or governmental entity, the liability of

subsection (b).
    (b) Amount of Liability.--
            (1) In general.--Each defendant who is a teacher, shall be 
        liable only for the amount of noneconomic loss allocated to 
        that defendant in direct proportion to the percentage of 
        responsibility of that defendant (determined in accordance with 
        paragraph (2)) for the harm to the claimant with respect to 
        which that defendant is liable. The court shall render a 
        separate judgment against each defendant in an amount 
        determined pursuant to the preceding sentence.
            (2) Percentage of responsibility.--For purposes of 
        determining the amount of noneconomic loss allocated to a
