              REQUIREMENTS FOR SEX OFFENDERS.

    For the purposes of determining the feasibility of using driver's 
license registration processes as additional registration requirements 
for sex offenders to improve the level of compliance with sex offender 
registration requirements for change of address upon relocation and

the following studies:
            (1) Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment 
        of this Act, the Government Accountability Office shall 
        complete a study for the Committee on the Judiciary of the 
        House of Representatives to survey a majority of the States to 
        assess the relative systems capabilities to comply with a 
        Federal law that required all State driver's license systems to 
        automatically access State and national databases of registered 
        sex offenders in a form similar to the requirement of the 
        Nevada law described in paragraph (2). The Government 
        Accountability Office shall use the information drawn from this 
        survey, along with other expert sources, to determine what the 
        potential costs to the States would be if such a Federal law 
        came into effect, and what level of Federal grants would be 
        required to prevent an unfunded mandate. In addition, the 
        Government Accountability Office shall seek the views of 
        Federal and State law enforcement agencies, including in 
        particular the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with regard to 
        the anticipated effects of such a national requirement, 
        including potential for undesired side effects in terms of 
        actual compliance with this Act and related laws.
            (2) Not later than October 2006, the Government 
        Accountability Office shall complete a study to evaluate the 
        provisions of Chapter 507 of Statutes of Nevada 2005 to 
        determine--
                    (A) if those provisions are effective in increasing 
                the registration compliance rates of sex offenders;
                    (B) the aggregate direct and indirect costs for the 
                state of Nevada to bring those provisions into effect; 
                and
                    (C) whether those provisions should be modified to

SEC. 403. SENSE OF CONGRESS WITH RESPECT TO PROSECUTIONS UNDER SECTION 
              2422(B) OF TITLE 18, UNITED STATES CODE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) a jury convicted Jan P. Helder, Jr., of using a 
        computer to attempt to entice an individual who had not 
        attained the age of 18 years to engage in unlawful sexual 
        activity;
            (2) during the trial, evidence showed that Jan Helder had 
        engaged in an online chat with an individual posing as a minor, 
        who unbeknownst to him, was an undercover law enforcement 
        officer;
            (3) notwithstanding, Dean Whipple, District Judge for the 
        Western District of Missouri, acquitted Jan Helder, ruling that 
        because he did not, in fact, communicate with a minor, he did 
        not commit a crime;
            (4) the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, in United States v. 
        Jeffrey Meek, specifically addressed the question facing Judge 
        Whipple and concurred with the 5th and 11th Circuit Courts in 
        finding that ``an actual minor victim is not required for an 
        attempt conviction under 18 U.S.C. Sec.  2422(b).'';
            (5) the Department of Justice has successfully used 
        evidence obtained through undercover law enforcement to 
        prosecute and convict perpetrators who attempted to solicit 
        children on the Internet; and
            (6) the Department of Justice states, ``Online child 
        pornography/child sexual exploitation is the most significant 
        cyber crime problem confronting the FBI that involves crimes 
        against children''.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) it is a crime under section 2422(b) of title 18, United 
        States Code, to use a facility of interstate commerce to 
        attempt to entice an individual who has not attained the age of 
        18 years into unlawful sexual activity, even if the perpetrator 
        incorrectly believes that the individual has not attained the 
        age of 18 years;
            (2) well-established caselaw has established that section 
        2422(b) of title 18, United States Code, criminalizes any 
        attempt to entice a minor into unlawful sexual activity, even 
        if the perpetrator incorrectly believes that the individual has 
        not attained the age of 18 years;
            (3) the Department of Justice should appeal Judge Whipple's 
        decision in United States v. Helder, Jr. and aggressively 
        continue to track down and prosecute sex offenders on the 
        Internet; and
            (4) Judge Whipple's decision in United States v. Helder, 
        Jr. should be overturned in light of the law as it is written, 
        the intent of Congress, and well-established caselaw.

the custody of the Attorney General pursuant to section 4241(d), or 
against whom all criminal charges have been dismissed solely for 
reasons relating to the mental condition of the person, the Attorney 
General or any individual authorized by the Attorney General or the 
Director of the Bureau of Prisons may certify that the person is a 
sexually dangerous person, and transmit the certificate to the clerk of 
the court for the district in which the person is confined. The clerk 
shall send a copy of the certificate to the person, and to the attorney 
for the Government, and, if the person was committed pursuant to 
section 4241(d), to the clerk of the court that ordered the commitment. 
The court shall order a hearing to determine whether the person is a 
sexually dangerous person. A certificate filed under this subsection 
shall stay the release of the person pending completion of procedures 
contained in this section.
    ``(b) Psychiatric or Psychological Examination and Report.--Prior 
to the date of the hearing, the court may order that a psychiatric or 
psychological examination of the defendant be conducted, and that a 
psychiatric or psychological report be filed with the court, pursuant 
to the provisions of section 4247(b) and (c).
    ``(c) Hearing.--The hearing shall be conducted pursuant to the 
provisions of section 4247(d).
    ``(d) Determination and Disposition.--If, after the hearing, the 
court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the person is a 
sexually dangerous person, the court shall commit the person to the 
custody of the Attorney General. The Attorney General shall release the 
person to the appropriate official of the State in which the person is 
domiciled or was tried if such State will assume responsibility for his 
custody, care, and treatment. The Attorney General shall make all 
reasonable efforts to cause such a State to assume such responsibility. 
If, notwithstanding such efforts, neither such State will assume such 
responsibility, the Attorney General shall place the person for 
treatment in a suitable facility, until--
            ``(1) such a State will assume such responsibility; or
            ``(2) the person's condition is such that he is no longer 
        sexually dangerous to others, or will not be sexually dangerous 
        to others if released under a prescribed regimen of medical, 
        psychiatric, or psychological care or treatment;
whichever is earlier. The Attorney General shall make all reasonable 
efforts to have a State to assume such responsibility for the person's 
custody, care, and treatment.
    ``(e) Discharge.--When the Director of the facility in which a 
person is placed pursuant to subsection (d) determines that the 
person's condition is such that he is no longer sexually dangerous to 
others, or will not be sexually dangerous to others if released under a 
prescribed regimen of medical, psychiatric, or psychological care or 
treatment, he shall promptly file a certificate to that effect with the 
clerk of the court that ordered the commitment. The clerk shall send a 
copy of the certificate to the person's counsel and to the attorney for 
the Government. The court shall order the discharge of the person or, 
on motion of the attorney for the Government or on its own motion, 
shall hold a hearing, conducted pursuant to the provisions of section 
4247(d), to determine whether he should be released. If, after the 
hearing, the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the 
person's condition is such that--
            ``(1) he will not be sexually dangerous to others if 
        released unconditionally, the court shall order that he be 
        immediately discharged; or
            ``(2) he will not be sexually dangerous to others if 
        released under a prescribed regimen of medical, psychiatric, or 
        psychological care or treatment, the court shall--
                    ``(A) order that he be conditionally discharged 
                under a prescribed regimen of medical, psychiatric, or 
                psychological care or treatment that has been prepared 
                for him, that has been certified to the court as 
                appropriate by the Director of the facility in which he 
                is committed, and that has been found by the court to 
                be appropriate; and
                    ``(B) order, as an explicit condition of release, 
                that he comply with the prescribed regimen of medical, 
                psychiatric, or psychological care or treatment.
        The court at any time may, after a hearing employing the same 
        criteria, modify or eliminate the regimen of medical, 
        psychiatric, or psychological care or treatment.
    ``(f) Revocation of Conditional Discharge.--The director of a 
facility responsible for administering a regimen imposed on a person 
conditionally discharged under subsection (e) shall notify the Attorney 
General and the court having jurisdiction over the person of any 
failure of the person to comply with the regimen. Upon such notice, or 
upon other probable cause to believe that the person has failed to 
comply with the prescribed regimen of medical, psychiatric, or 
psychological care or treatment, the person may be arrested, and, upon 
arrest, shall be taken without unnecessary delay before the court 
having jurisdiction over him. The court shall, after a hearing, 
determine whether the person should be remanded to a suitable facility 
on the ground that he is sexually dangerous to others in light of his 
failure to comply with the prescribed regimen of medical, psychiatric, 
or psychological care or treatment.
    ``(g) Release to State of Certain Other Persons.--If the director 
of the facility in which a person is hospitalized or placed pursuant to 
this chapter certifies to the Attorney General that a person, against 
him all charges have been dismissed for reasons not related to the 
mental condition of the person, is a sexually dangerous person, the 
Attorney General shall release the person to the appropriate official 
of the State in which the person is domiciled or was tried for the 
purpose of institution of State proceedings for civil commitment. If 
neither such State will assume such responsibility, the Attorney 
General shall release the person upon receipt of notice from the State 
that it will not assume such responsibility, but not later than 10 days 
after certification by the director of the facility.''.

indictment is presented for a crime in which by force or threat of 
force the perpetrator compels the victim to engage in sexual activity

            (1) That the defendant be tested for HIV disease if--
                    (A) the nature of the alleged crime is such that 
                the sexual activity would have placed the victim at 
                risk of becoming infected with HIV; or

        undergo such follow-up tests for HIV as may be medically 
        appropriate, and that as soon as is practicable after each such 
        test the results of the test be made available in accordance 
        with paragraph (1) (except that this paragraph applies only to 
        the extent that the individual involved continues to be a 
        defendant in the judicial proceedings involved, or is convicted 
        in the proceedings).
            (4) That, if the results of a test conducted pursuant to

                section shall also relate to reports of suspected 
                instances of child abuse or neglect that were

          TITLE VIII--CHILD PORNOGRAPHY PREVENTION ACT OF 2005

SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Child Pornography Prevention Act 
of 2005''.

SEC. 802. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The effect of the intrastate production, 
        transportation, distribution, receipt, advertising, and 
        possession of child pornography on interstate market in child 
        pornography.
                    (A) The illegal production, transportation, 
                distribution, receipt, advertising and possession of 
                child pornography, as defined in section 2256(8) of 
                title 18, United States Code, as well as the transfer 
                of custody of children for the production of child 
                pornography, is harmful to the physiological, 
                emotional, and mental health of the children depicted 
                in child pornography and has a substantial and 
                detrimental effect on society as a whole.
                    (B) A substantial interstate market in child 
                pornography exists, including not only a multimillion 
                dollar industry, but also a nationwide network of 
                individuals openly advertising their desire to exploit 
                children and to traffic in child pornography. Many of 
                these individuals distribute child pornography with the 
                expectation of receiving other child pornography in 
                return.
                    (C) The interstate market in child pornography is 
                carried on to a substantial extent through the mails 
                and other instrumentalities of interstate and foreign 
                commerce, such as the Internet. The advent of the 
                Internet has greatly increased the ease of 
                transporting, distributing, receiving, and advertising 
                child pornography in interstate commerce. The advent of 
                digital cameras and digital video cameras, as well as 
                videotape cameras, has greatly increased the ease of 
                producing child pornography. The advent of inexpensive 
                computer equipment with the capacity to store large 
                numbers of digital images of child pornography has 
                greatly increased the ease of possessing child 
                pornography. Taken together, these technological 
                advances have had the unfortunate result of greatly 
                increasing the interstate market in child pornography.
                    (D) Intrastate incidents of production, 
                transportation, distribution, receipt, advertising, and 
                possession of child pornography, as well as the 
                transfer of custody of children for the production of 
                child pornography, have a substantial and direct effect 
                upon interstate commerce because:
                            (i) Some persons engaged in the production, 
                        transportation, distribution, receipt, 
                        advertising, and possession of child 
                        pornography conduct such activities entirely 
                        within the boundaries of one state. These 
                        persons are unlikely to be content with the 
                        amount of child pornography they produce, 
                        transport, distribute, receive, advertise, or 
                        possess. These persons are therefore likely to 
                        enter the interstate market in child 
                        pornography in search of additional child 
                        pornography, thereby stimulating demand in the 
                        interstate market in child pornography.
                            (ii) When the persons described in 
                        subparagraph (D)(i) enter the interstate market 
                        in search of additional child pornography, they 
                        are likely to distribute the child pornography 
                        they already produce, transport, distribute, 
                        receive, advertise, or possess to persons who 
                        will distribute additional child pornography to 
                        them, thereby stimulating supply in the 
                        interstate market in child pornography.
                            (iii) Much of the child pornography that 
                        supplies the interstate market in child 
                        pornography is produced entirely within the 
                        boundaries of one state, is not traceable, and 
                        enters the interstate market surreptitiously. 
                        This child pornography supports demand in the 
                        interstate market in child pornography and is 
                        essential to its existence.
                    (E) Prohibiting the intrastate production, 
                transportation, distribution, receipt, advertising, and 
                possession of child pornography, as well as the 
                intrastate transfer of custody of children for the 
                production of child pornography, will cause some 
                persons engaged in such intrastate activities to cease 
                all such activities, thereby reducing both supply and 
                demand in the interstate market for child pornography.
                    (F) Federal control of the intrastate incidents of 
                the production, transportation, distribution, receipt, 
                advertising, and possession of child pornography, as 
                well as the intrastate transfer of children for the 
                production of child pornography, is essential to the 
                effective control of the interstate market in child 
                pornography.
            (2) The importance of protecting children from repeat 
        exploitation in child pornography:
                    (A) The vast majority of child pornography 
                prosecutions today involve images contained on computer 
                hard drives, computer disks, and related media.
                    (B) Child pornography is not entitled to protection 
                under the First Amendment and thus may be prohibited.
                    (C) The government has a compelling state interest 
                in protecting children from those who sexually exploit 
                them, and this interest extends to stamping out the 
                vice of child pornography at all levels in the 
                distribution chain.
                    (D) Every instance of viewing images of child 
                pornography represents a renewed violation of the 
                privacy of the victims and a repetition of their abuse.
                    (E) Child pornography constitutes prima facie 
                contraband, and as such should not be distributed to, 
                or copied by, child pornography defendants or their 
                attorneys.
                    (F) It is imperative to prohibit the reproduction 
                of child pornography in criminal cases so as to avoid 
                repeated violation and abuse of victims, so long as the 
                government makes reasonable accommodations for the 
                inspection, viewing, and examination of such material 
                for the purposes of mounting a criminal defense.

         TITLE X--LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT HATE CRIMES PREVENTION

SEC. 1001. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes 
Prevention Act of 2005''.

SEC. 1002. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The incidence of violence motivated by the actual or 
        perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, 
        sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of the 
        victim poses a serious national problem.
            (2) Such violence disrupts the tranquility and safety of 
        communities and is deeply divisive.
            (3) State and local authorities are now and will continue 
        to be responsible for prosecuting the overwhelming majority of 
        violent crimes in the United States, including violent crimes 
        motivated by bias. These authorities can carry out their 
        responsibilities more effectively with greater Federal 
        assistance.
            (4) Existing Federal law is inadequate to address this 
        problem.
            (5) The prominent characteristic of a violent crime 
        motivated by bias is that it devastates not just the actual 
        victim and the family and friends of the victim, but frequently 
        savages the community sharing the traits that caused the victim 
        to be selected.
            (6) Such violence substantially affects interstate commerce 
        in many ways, including--
                    (A) by impeding the movement of members of targeted 
                groups and forcing such members to move across State 
                lines to escape the incidence or risk of such violence; 
                and
                    (B) by preventing members of targeted groups from 
                purchasing goods and services, obtaining or sustaining 
                employment, or participating in other commercial 
                activity.
            (7) Perpetrators cross State lines to commit such violence.
            (8) Channels, facilities, and instrumentalities of 
        interstate commerce are used to facilitate the commission of 
        such violence.
            (9) Such violence is committed using articles that have 
        traveled in interstate commerce.
            (10) For generations, the institutions of slavery and 
        involuntary servitude were defined by the race, color, and 
        ancestry of those held in bondage. Slavery and involuntary 
        servitude were enforced, both prior to and after the adoption 
        of the 13th amendment to the Constitution of the United States, 
        through widespread public and private violence directed at 
        persons because of their race, color, or ancestry, or perceived 
        race, color, or ancestry. Accordingly, eliminating racially 
        motivated violence is an important means of eliminating, to the 
        extent possible, the badges, incidents, and relics of slavery 
        and involuntary servitude.
            (11) Both at the time when the 13th, 14th, and 15th 
        amendments to the Constitution of the United States were 
        adopted, and continuing to date, members of certain religious 
        and national origin groups were and are perceived to be 
        distinct ``races''. Thus, in order to eliminate, to the extent 
        possible, the badges, incidents, and relics of slavery, it is 
        necessary to prohibit assaults on the basis of real or 
        perceived religions or national origins, at least to the extent 
        such religions or national origins were regarded as races at 
        the time of the adoption of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments 
        to the Constitution of the United States.
            (12) Federal jurisdiction over certain violent crimes 
        motivated by bias enables Federal, State, and local authorities 
        to work together as partners in the investigation and 
        prosecution of such crimes.
            (13) The problem of crimes motivated by bias is 
        sufficiently serious, widespread, and interstate in nature as 
        to warrant Federal assistance to States and local 
        jurisdictions.

SEC. 1003. DEFINITION OF HATE CRIME.

    In this title, the term ``hate crime'' has the same meaning as in 
section 280003(a) of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act 
of 1994 (28 U.S.C. 994 note).

              STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS.

    (a) Assistance Other Than Financial Assistance.--
            (1) In general.--At the request of a law enforcement 
        official of a State or Indian tribe, the Attorney General may 
        provide technical, forensic, prosecutorial, or any other form 
        of assistance in the criminal investigation or prosecution of 
        any crime that--
                    (A) constitutes a crime of violence (as defined in 
                section 16 of title 18, United States Code);
                    (B) constitutes a felony under the laws of the 
                State or Indian tribe; and
                    (C) is motivated by prejudice based on the actual 
                or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, 
                gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or 
                disability of the victim, or is a violation of the hate 
                crime laws of the State or Indian tribe.
            (2) Priority.--In providing assistance under paragraph (1), 
        the Attorney General shall give priority to crimes committed by 
        offenders who have committed crimes in more than 1 State and to 
        rural jurisdictions that have difficulty covering the 
        extraordinary expenses relating to the investigation or 
        prosecution of the crime.
    (b) Grants.--
            (1) In general.--The Attorney General may award grants to 
        assist State, local, and Indian law enforcement officials with 
        the extraordinary expenses associated with the investigation 
        and prosecution of hate crimes.
            (2) Office of justice programs.--In implementing the grant 
        program, the Office of Justice Programs shall work closely with 
        the funded jurisdictions to ensure that the concerns and needs 
        of all affected parties, including community groups and 
        schools, colleges, and universities, are addressed through the 
        local infrastructure developed under the grants.
            (3) Application.--
                    (A) In general.--Each State that desires a grant 
                under this subsection shall submit an application to 
                the Attorney General at such time, in such manner, and 
                accompanied by or containing such information as the

                        resources necessary to investigate or prosecute 
                        the hate crime;

                        plan to implement the grant, the State, 
                        political subdivision, or tribal official has 
                        consulted and coordinated with nonprofit, 
                        nongovernmental victim services programs that
