Health Insurance Coverage for Contraceptives Act of 2000 (D.C. Bill 13-
399) shall not take effect.
    (b) Nothing in this section may be construed to prevent the Council 
or Mayor of the District of Columbia from addressing the issue of the 
provision of contraceptive coverage by health insurance plans, but it 
is the intent of Congress that any legislation enacted on such issue 
should include a ``conscience clause'' which provides exceptions for 
religious beliefs and moral convictions.
    Sec. 169. (a) Chapter 23 of title 11, District of Columbia, is 
hereby repealed.
    (b) The table of chapters for title 11, District of Columbia, is 
amended by striking the item relating to chapter 23.
    (c) The amendments made by this section shall take effect on the 
date on which legislation enacted by the Council of the District of

                  prompt payment of appointed counsel

    Sec. 170. (a) Assessment of Interest for Delayed Payments.--If the 
Superior Court of the District of Columbia or the District of Columbia 
Court of Appeals does not make a payment described in subsection (b) 
prior to the expiration of the 45-day period which begins on the date 
the Court receives a completed voucher for a claim for the payment, 
interest shall be assessed against the amount of the payment which 
would otherwise be made to take into account the period which begins on 
the day after the expiration of such 45-day period and which ends on 
the day the Court makes the payment.
    (b) Payments Described.--A payment described in this subsection 
is--
            (1) a payment authorized under section 11-2604 and section 
        11-2605, DC Code (relating to representation provided under the 
        District of Columbia Criminal Justice Act);
            (2) a payment for counsel appointed in proceedings in the 
        Family Division of the Superior Court of the District of 
        Columbia under chapter 23 of title 16, DC Code; or
            (3) a payment for counsel authorized under section 21-2060, 
        DC Code (relating to representation provided under the District 
        of Columbia Guardianship, Protective Proceedings, and Durable 
        Power of Attorney Act of 1986).
    (c) Standards for Submission of Completed Vouchers.--The chief 
judges of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia and the 
District of Columbia Court of Appeals shall establish standards and 
criteria for determining whether vouchers submitted for claims for 
payments described in subsection (b) are complete, and shall publish 
and make such standards and criteria available to attorneys who 
practice before such Courts.
    (d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to require the assessment of interest against any claim (or 
portion of any claim) which is denied by the Court involved.
    (e) Effective Date.--This section shall apply with respect to 
claims received by the Superior Court of the District of Columbia or 
the District of Columbia Court of Appeals after the expiration of the 
90-day period which begins on the date of the enactment of this Act.
