                      TITLE V--GENERAL PROVISIONS

SEC. 501. STUDIES BY INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE.

    (a) State Surveillance Systems on Prevalence of HIV.--The Secretary 
of Health and Human Services (referred to in this section as the 
``Secretary'') shall request the Institute of Medicine to enter into an 
agreement with the Secretary under which such Institute conducts a 
study to provide the following:
            (1) A determination of whether the surveillance system of 
        each of the States regarding the human immunodeficiency virus 
        provides for the reporting of cases of infection with the virus 
        in a manner that is sufficient to provide adequate and reliable 
        information on the number of such cases and the demographic 
        characteristics of such cases, both for the State in general 
        and for specific geographic areas in the State.
            (2) A determination of whether such information is 
        sufficiently accurate for purposes of formula grants under 
        parts A and B of title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act.
            (3) With respect to any State whose surveillance system 
        does not provide adequate and reliable information on cases of 
        infection with the virus, recommendations regarding the manner 
        in which the State can improve the system.
    (b) Relationship Between Epidemiological Measures and Health Care 
for Certain Individuals With HIV Disease.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary shall request the Institute 
        of Medicine to enter into an agreement with the Secretary under 
        which such Institute conducts a study concerning the 
        appropriate epidemiological measures and their relationship to 
        the financing and delivery of primary care and health-related 
        support services for low-income, uninsured, and under-insured 
        individuals with HIV disease.
            (2) Issues to be considered.--The Secretary shall ensure 
        that the study under paragraph (1) considers the following:
                    (A) The availability and utility of health outcomes 
                measures and data for HIV primary care and support 
                services and the extent to which those measures and 
                data could be used to measure the quality of such 
                funded services.
                    (B) The effectiveness and efficiency of service 
                delivery (including the quality of services, health 
                outcomes, and resource use) within the context of a 
                changing health care and therapeutic environment, as 
                well as the changing epidemiology of the epidemic, 
                including determining the actual costs, potential 
                savings, and overall financial impact of modifying the 
                program under title XIX of the Social Security Act to 
                establish eligibility for medical assistance under such 
                title on the basis of infection with the human 
                immunodeficiency virus rather than providing such 
                assistance only if the infection has progressed to 
                acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
                    (C) Existing and needed epidemiological data and 
                other analytic tools for resource planning and 
                allocation decisions, specifically for estimating 
                severity of need of a community and the relationship to 
                the allocations process.
                    (D) Other factors determined to be relevant to 
                assessing an individual's or community's ability to 
                gain and sustain access to quality HIV services.
    (c) Other Entities.--If the Institute of Medicine declines to 
conduct a study under this section, the Secretary shall enter into an 
agreement with another appropriate public or nonprofit private entity 
to conduct the study.
    (d) Report.--The Secretary shall ensure that--
            (1) not later than 3 years after the date of the enactment 
        of this Act, the study required in subsection (a) is completed 
        and a report describing the findings made in the study is 
        submitted to the appropriate committees of the Congress; and
            (2) not later than 2 years after the date of the enactment 
        of this Act, the study required in subsection (b) is completed 
        and a report describing the findings made in the study is 
        submitted to such committees.

SEC. 502. DEVELOPMENT OF RAPID HIV TEST.

    (a) Expansion, Intensification, and Coordination of Research and 
Other Activities.--
            (1) In general.--The Director of NIH shall expand, 
        intensify, and coordinate research and other activities of the 
        National Institutes of Health with respect to the development 
        of reliable and affordable tests for HIV disease that can 
        rapidly be administered and whose results can rapidly be 
        obtained (in this section referred to a ``rapid HIV test'').
            (2) Report to congress.--The Director of NIH shall 
        periodically submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a 
        report describing the research and other activities conducted 
        or supported under paragraph (1).
            (3) Authorization of appropriations.--For the purpose of 
        carrying out this subsection, there are authorized to be 
        appropriated such sums as may be necessary for each of the 
        fiscal years 2001 through 2005.
    (b) Premarket Review of Rapid HIV Tests.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 90 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary, in consultation with 
        the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
        and the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, shall submit to the 
        appropriate committees of the Congress a report describing the 
        progress made towards, and barriers to, the premarket review 
        and commercial distribution of rapid HIV tests. The report 
        shall--
                    (A) assess the public health need for and public 
                health benefits of rapid HIV tests, including the 
                minimization of false positive results through the 
                availability of multiple rapid HIV tests;
                    (B) make recommendations regarding the need for the 
                expedited review of rapid HIV test applications 
                submitted to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and 
                Research and, if such recommendations are favorable, 
                specify criteria and procedures for such expedited 
                review; and
                    (C) specify whether the barriers to the premarket 
                review of rapid HIV tests include the unnecessary 
                application of requirements--
                            (i) necessary to ensure the efficacy of 
                        devices for donor screening to rapid HIV tests 
                        intended for use in other screening situations; 
                        or
                            (ii) for identifying antibodies to HIV 
                        subtypes of rare incidence in the United States 
                        to rapid HIV tests intended for use in 
                        screening situations other than donor 
                        screening.
    (c) Guidelines of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.--
Promptly after commercial distribution of a rapid HIV test begins, the 
Secretary, acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention, shall establish or update guidelines that 
include recommendations for States, hospitals, and other appropriate 
entities regarding the ready availability of such tests for 
administration to pregnant women who are in labor or in the late stage 
of pregnancy and whose HIV status is not known to the attending 
obstetrician.
