                      Subtitle B--FBI Act of 2007

SEC. 1201. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle be cited as the ``Full-strength Bureau Initiative Act 
of 2007'' or the ``FBI Act of 2007''.

SEC. 1202. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Throughout its history, the FBI has been an integral 
        part of anticrime investigatory efforts in the United States.
            (2) Since September 11, 2001, the FBI has lost substantial 
        capacity and willingness to fight violent crime.
            (3) The FBI has reduced the goal of combating crime to 
        number 8 of its top 10 priorities.
            (4) To meet its primary goal of combating terrorism, the 
        FBI has reprogrammed nearly 1,000 agents from crime to 
        counterterrorism cases since September 11, 2001.
            (5) While this reprogramming of agents to counterterrorism 
        is necessary and proper, it has had the unintended consequence 
        of precluding the FBI from adequately and satisfactorily 
        discharging its traditional anticrime efforts.
            (6) The FBI's shift to counterterrorism has reduced the 
        Bureau's involvement in traditional crime investigations, 
        including--
                    (A) fewer agents to the successful High Intensity 
                Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) task forces;
                    (B) fewer violent crime cases, as the Bureau has 
                reduced the number of agents committed to Federal-
                State-local task forces like ``Safe Streets'' and 
                Violent Crime Task Forces; and
                    (C) fewer agents handling bank robbery and white 
                collar crimes, which involve technical areas of 
                investigative expertise that State and locals often 
                lack.
            (7) In testimony before the Committee on the Judiciary of 
        the Senate, FBI Director Bob Mueller stated that the shortfall 
        of agents has ``required difficult choices in determining how 
        to most effectively use the available agents''.
            (8) This reprogramming has occurred at the same time that 
        Federal assistance for State and local law enforcement has been 
        decimated, including the elimination of the Office of Community 
        Oriented Policing Services hiring program and substantial cuts 
        to the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program 
        under part E of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe 
        Streets Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 3750 et seq.).
            (9) Local police officials have decried this approach, and 
        the results are becoming apparent, with the largest crime 
        increase in 15 years according the 2005 Uniform Crime Reports.
            (10) The preliminary Uniform Crime Reports for 2006, 
        reported in December, have shown further increases in violent 
        crime across the Nation.
            (11) The FBI's traditional anticrime investigations 
        complement and assist investigations by State and local law 
        enforcement around the country.
            (12) Through task forces and other more informal 
        assistance, the FBI over the years has brought an invaluable 
        expertise and resources to help state and local law enforcement 
        in combating traditional criminal enterprises.
            (13) Even when factoring in assistance local law 
        enforcement has received from the Department of Homeland 
        Security, the International Association of Chiefs of Police has 
        stated, ``combined, the proposed FY 2006 funding level for DoJ/
        DHS law enforcement assistance programs is $2.158 B. This is a 
        reduction of $1.467 B or 40% from the combined FY 2005 level of 
        $3.625 B. It represents a decrease in $2.55 B or 54% from 
        FY2004.''.
            (14) The FBI has the ability and the mandate to focus both 
        on countering terrorists plots and fighting traditional crime.
            (15) There does not need to be a trade-off between crime 
        and terrorism, but this can only happen if the FBI is given the 
        manpower to be able to do both.

SEC. 1203. AUTHORIZATION FOR MORE AGENTS.

    There are authorized to be appropriated $160,000,000 for each of 
the fiscal years 2008 through 2012 to fund 1,000 Federal Bureau of 
Investigations field agents in addition to the number of Federal Bureau 
of Investigations field agents serving on the date of enactment of this 
Act.

           Subtitle C--Project to Protect America Act of 2007

SEC. 1301. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Project to Protect America Act 
of 2007''.

SEC. 1302. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the system of compensation for Federal law enforcement 
        officers (in this section referred to as ``FLEOs'') must be 
        reformed in order to deal with recruitment, retention, and 
        morale problems associated with assignments to high-cost areas;
            (2) as the Office of Personnel Management has confirmed, 
        limitations on premium pay are contributing to the pay 
        compression problem that, in turn, may be undermining the 
        efficacy of incentives designed to encourage FLEOs to assume 
        greater supervisory and managerial duties;
            (3) the security of the Nation, as the report of the 
        National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States 
        confirmed, depends on effective Federal law enforcement, which 
        is particularly true of large metropolitan areas that should be 
        staffed with FLEOs who are fairly compensated for their 
        services;
            (4) the combination of rising living costs and lagging 
        compensation threatens to worsen the significant recruitment 
        and retention problems already facing FLEOs;
            (5) the problems described in paragraph (4) are especially 
        serious among law enforcement officers of the Federal Bureau of 
        Investigation, who--
                    (A) are recruited and subject to assignment 
                nationwide and, upon assignment, are expected to adjust 
                rapidly; and
                    (B) particularly in the case of those assigned to 
                high-cost areas, often experience significant 
                difficulties in finding adequate and affordable 
                housing;
            (6) the Office of Personnel Management should experiment 
        with innovative approaches to address compensation problems in 
        the Federal workforce and, in the case of FLEOs, should look to 
        the Department of Defense as a model for providing a reasonable 
        housing allowance to assist those assigned to high-cost areas; 
        and
            (7) as the Federal Bureau of Investigation implements 
        policies aimed at limiting the tenure of Supervisory Special 
        Agents, the need to retain skilled agents requires that 
        retirement benefits be protected from the adverse consequences 
        of such personnel policies.

                area as a high-cost area for a fiscal year if, during 
                the most recent calendar year ending before the start 
                of such fiscal year--
                            (i) the average monthly housing costs for 
                        that area exceeded the average monthly housing 
                        costs for the continental United States by not 
                        less than 10 percent; or
                            (ii) that area was 1 of the 10 areas within 
                        the continental United States having the 
                        highest cost of living (identified in such 
                        manner as the Director shall determine) and for 
                        which average monthly housing costs exceeded 
                        the average monthly housing costs for the 
                        continental United States.
                    (B) Same differential computation rule applies.--
                The Director shall determine the housing cost 
                differential for any area identified under subparagraph 
                (A)(ii) in the same manner as described in subparagraph 
                (A)(i).
            (2) Annual determinations.--The Director shall identify 
        high-cost areas for each fiscal year in which the Director 
        carries out the demonstration project.
            (3) Costs of adequate housing.--The determination of 
        monthly housing costs under this subsection by the Director 
        shall be based on the costs of renting adequate housing 
        typically borne by individuals residing within the area 
        involved who have income levels comparable to those of eligible 
        employees within the same area (taking into account, with 
        respect to eligible employees, only amounts payable to such 
        employees under title 5, United States Code).
    (c) Basic Housing Allowance.--
            (1) In general.--The Director shall establish a basic 
        housing allowance payable to each eligible employee employed in 
        a high-cost area for each fiscal year in which the Director 
        carries out the demonstration project.
            (2) Amount.--The amount of the basic housing allowance for 
        each high-cost area shall be equal to such amount as the 
        Director shall determine, except that--
                    (A) determinations under this paragraph shall be 
                made in a manner consistent with section 403(b) of

                allowance for housing for members of the uniformed 
                services); and
                    (B) in no event may any such amount be less than 
                the housing cost differential determined under 
                subsection (b)(1)(A) for the area and fiscal year 
                involved.
            (3) Manner of payment.--A basic housing allowance shall be

            (4) Nonreduction rule.--The basic housing allowance payable 
        to an individual who continuously remains an eligible employee 
        within the same high-cost area may not be reduced by reason of 
        any fluctuations in housing costs.
            (5) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this subtitle may be 
        construed to permit or require any reduction in basic pay by

        basic housing allowance.
    (d) Applicability of Provisions Governing Demonstration Projects

                allowance on employee retention, recruitment, and 
                morale;
                    (B) be based on appropriate data and comments 
                received from management officials, employees, and 
                other interested persons (including professional

        applicable section; or
            (2) the amount to which that individual would have been

  Subtitle D--Drug Enforcement Special Agents Restoration Act of 2007

SEC. 1401. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Drug Enforcement Special Agents 
Restoration Act of 2007''.

SEC. 1402. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) there is currently in place a hiring freeze at the Drug 
        Enforcement Administration (referred to in this subtitle as the 
        ``DEA'') that has no set end date;
            (2) the DEA is losing approximately 160 agents each year 
        due to attrition;
            (3) fewer drug agents in the field inevitably lead to fewer 
        drug-related arrests and seizures, and decreased resources 
        allow drug trafficking organizations to operate more freely;
            (4) drug trafficking money is used to fund terrorist 
        activities; and
            (5) the President's fiscal year 2008 budget request under 
        funds the DEA and does nothing to alleviate the agency's hiring 
        freeze.

SEC. 1403. ADDITIONAL DEA SPECIAL AGENTS.

    (a) In General.--There are authorized to be funded and hired 500 
DEA special agents and 400 support personnel, as set forth in

        Coordinators, assigned domestically with an additional 250 
        authorized positions as domestic support staff to include 
        intelligence analysts, chemists, informational technology 
        specialists, program analysts, and technical and clerical 
        experts.
            (2) 100 special agents assigned internationally with an 
        additional 150 authorized positions as foreign support staff to

and personnel as provided in this subtitle--
            (1) $200,000,000 for fiscal year 2008;

      Subtitle E--National Commission on Law Enforcement and the 
                 Administration of Justice Act of 2007

SEC. 1501. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``National Commission on Law 
Enforcement and the Administration of Justice Act of 2007''.

SEC. 1502. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, local law 
        enforcement agencies have been required to undertake new and 
        different duties.
            (2) These changes have required Federal, State, and local 
        law enforcement agencies to reexamine and redefine how they 
        work to combat terrorism by establishing new procedures for--
                    (A) collecting, analyzing, and sharing 
                intelligence;
                    (B) how such agencies work together and with the 
                private sector to protect critical infrastructure; and
                    (C) how to balance the protection of civil 
                liberties and the prevention of terrorism attacks.
            (3) The law enforcement community is still addressing 
        ongoing concerns related to the criminal justice system.
            (4) As a result of high-profile incidents involving use of 
        force, allegations of racial profiling, corruption, and 
        instances of unethical behavior by police officers and 
        executives, many people in the United States believe that these 
        problems are widespread and deeply rooted.
            (5) The concerns of people in the United States encompass 
        not only law enforcement agencies, but all the participants in 
        the criminal justice system, including the courts, prosecutors, 
        and corrections and probation officials.
            (6) For all of the components of the criminal justice 
        system to perform in an effective manner that ensures justice 
        and leads to orderly and peaceful communities, there must exist 
        a trusting and confident relationship with all people in every 
        part of the United States.
            (7) In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson established the 
        Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice 
        recognizing, as he said, ``the urgency of the nation's crime 
        problem''.
            (8) The Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of 
        Justice labored for 18 months, producing 200 specific 
        recommendations involving Federal, State, tribal, and local 
        governments, civic organizations, religious institutions, 
        business groups, and individual citizens that were intended to 
        create a safer and more just society.
            (9) The resulting report, titled ``The Challenge of Crime 
        in a Free Society'', marked the beginning of a sea change in 
        the methods for dealing with crime and the public in the United 
        States and built the framework for many of the exemplary 
        programs that continue today.
            (10) There have been numerous advances in policing and the 
        administration of justice since that report, including 
        community policing and drug courts.
            (11) It is in the interest of the Nation to establish a 
        commission to study the role of policing in United States 
        society, anticipate challenges in policing, and issue detailed 
        recommendations to Congress to ensure the safety and security 
        of the people of the United States, while advancing the civil 
        liberties of the people of the United States and the best 
        interests of the people who serve as Federal, State, and local 
        law enforcement officials.

                    PART IV--SAFE BABIES ACT OF 2007

SEC. 2141. SHORT TITLE.

    This part may be cited as the ``Safe Babies Act of 2007''.

SEC. 2142. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Children three years of age and younger have the 
        highest rates of victimization. Infants and toddlers are twice 
        as likely as all other children to become victims of child 
        maltreatment. Children ages three and younger are also 32 
        percent more likely to be placed in foster care than children 
        ages four to eleven. Once placed in foster care, children three 
        years of age and younger are more likely than older children to 
        be abused and neglected, and they tend to stay in foster care 
        longer than older children.
            (2) Infants and toddlers are the most vulnerable to the 
        effects of maltreatment. Research shows that young children who 
        have experienced physical abuse have lower social competence, 
        show less empathy for others, and have difficulty recognizing 
        others' emotions. They are also more likely than children who 
        have not been maltreated to have deficits in IQ scores, 
        language ability, and school performance.
            (3) Research shows that the human brain has achieved 80 to 
        85 percent of its adult size by the age of three. During those 
        early years, the brain is developing the vast majority of its 
        basic capacity, the development of which can determine future 
        achievement or failure. Therefore, infants and toddlers in 
        foster care are spending the most critical developmental period 
        in situations that may be detrimental to healthy growth and 
        development.
            (4) Children under the age of four account for 81 percent 
        of child fatalities, and children under the age of one account 
        for 45 percent of such fatalities.
            (5) Child welfare systems are not meeting the needs of the 
        children who rely on public intervention to protect them. In 
        the Child and Family Service Reviews for fiscal years 2003 and 
        2004, the Administration for Children and Families revealed 
        that, of 19 States studied for performance on Child and Family 
        Services Review indicators, none of the States achieved all of 
        the specified outcomes, and all of the States failed to meet 
        the outcome related to the provision of physical and mental 
        health services to children in foster care.
            (6) Judges can be powerful catalysts for change in the way 
        communities address the needs of maltreated infants and 
        toddlers. A groundbreaking project in the Juvenile Division of 
        the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida has combined the 
        leadership of a family court judge with expertise in early 
        childhood development. This ground breaking collaboration is 
        ensuring that infants and toddlers receive the services they 
        need. Mental health and parenting intervention services are 
        provided for parents and children together. Initial results are 
        promising in terms of eliminating further abuse and neglect and 
        promoting safety and well-being through timely permanent 
        placements.

         Subtitle B--Gang Abatement and Prevention Act of 2007

SEC. 2201. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Gang Abatement and Prevention 
Act of 2007''.

SEC. 2202. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) violent crime and drug trafficking are pervasive 
        problems at the national, State, and local level;
            (2) according to recent Federal Bureau of Investigation, 
        Uniform Crime Reports, violent crime in the United States is on 
        the rise, with a 2.3 percent increase in violent crime in 2005 
        (the largest increase in the United States in 15 years) and an 
        even larger 3.7 percent jump during the first 6 months of 2006, 
        and the Police Executive Research Forum reports that, among 
        jurisdictions providing information, homicides are up 10.21 
        percent, robberies are up 12.27 percent, and aggravated 
        assaults with firearms are up 9.98 percent since 2004;
            (3) these disturbing rises in violent crime are 
        attributable in part to the spread of criminal street gangs and 
        the willingness of gang members to commit acts of violence and 
        drug trafficking offenses;
            (4) according to a recent National Drug Threat Assessment, 
        criminal street gangs are responsible for much of the retail 
        distribution of the cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and other 
        illegal drugs being distributed in rural and urban communities 
        throughout the United States;
            (5) gangs commit acts of violence or drug offenses for 
        numerous motives, such as membership in or loyalty to the gang, 
        for protecting gang territory, and for profit;
            (6) gang presence and intimidation, and the organized and 
        repetitive nature of the crimes that gangs and gang members 
        commit, has a pernicious effect on the free flow of interstate 
        commercial activities and directly affects the freedom and 
        security of communities plagued by gang activity, diminishing 
        the value of property, inhibiting the desire of national and 
        multinational corporations to transact business in those 
        communities, and in a variety of ways directly and 
        substantially affecting interstate and foreign commerce;
            (7) gangs often recruit and utilize minors to engage in 
        acts of violence and other serious offenses out of a belief 
        that the criminal justice systems are more lenient on juvenile 
        offenders;
            (8) gangs often intimidate and threaten witnesses to 
        prevent successful prosecutions;
            (9) gangs prey upon and incorporate minors into their 
        ranks, exploiting the fact that adolescents have immature 
        decision-making capacity, therefore, gang activity and 
        recruitment can be reduced and deterred through increased 
        vigilance, appropriate criminal penalties, partnerships between 
        Federal and State and local law enforcement, and proactive 
        prevention and intervention efforts, particularly targeted at 
        juveniles and young adults, prior to and even during gang 
        involvement;
            (10) State and local prosecutors and law enforcement 
        officers, in hearings before the Committee on the Judiciary of 
        the Senate and elsewhere, have enlisted the help of Congress in 
        the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of gang crimes 
        and in the protection of witnesses and victims of gang crimes; 
        and
            (11) because State and local prosecutors and law 
        enforcement have the expertise, experience, and connection to 
        the community that is needed to assist in combating gang 
        violence, consultation and coordination between Federal, State, 
        and local law enforcement and collaboration with other 
        community agencies is critical to the successful prosecutions 
        of criminal street gangs and reduction of gang problems.

                enforcement agencies that are within the geographic

                enforcement steering committee, may, with approval of 
                the Executive Board of the HIDTA with which it 
                substantially overlaps, utilize the intelligence-
                sharing, administrative, and other resources of that 
                HIDTA.

        TITLE III--PROTECTING COMMUNITIES BY REDUCING RECIDIVISM

             Subtitle A--Enhanced Second Chance Act of 2007

SEC. 3101. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Enhanced Second Chance Act of 
2007''.

SEC. 3102. FINDING.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 2002, over 7,000,000 people were incarcerated in 
        Federal or State prisons or in local jails. Nearly 650,000 
        people are released from Federal and State incarceration into 
        communities nationwide each year.
            (2) There are over 3,200 jails throughout the United 
        States, the vast majority of which are operated by county 
        governments. Each year, these jails will release more than 
        10,000,000 people back into the community.
            (3) Recent studies indicate that over \2/3\ of released 
        State prisoners are expected to be rearrested for a felony or 
        serious misdemeanor within 3 years after release.
            (4) According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 
        expenditures on corrections alone increased from $9,000,000,000 
        in 1982, to $59,600,000,000 in 2002. These figures do not 
        include the cost of arrest and prosecution, nor do they take 
        into account the cost to victims.
            (5) The Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative 
        provided $139,000,000 in funding for State governments to 
        develop and implement education, job training, mental health 
        treatment, and substance abuse treatment for serious and 
        violent offenders. This subtitle seeks to build upon the 
        innovative and successful State reentry programs developed 
        under the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative, 
        which terminated after fiscal year 2005.
            (6) Between 1991 and 1999, the number of children with a 
        parent in a Federal or State correctional facility increased by 
        more than 100 percent, from approximately 900,000 to 
        approximately 2,000,000. According to the Bureau of Prisons, 
        there is evidence to suggest that inmates who are connected to 
        their children and families are more likely to avoid negative 
        incidents and have reduced sentences.
            (7) Released prisoners cite family support as the most 
        important factor in helping them stay out of prison. Research 
        suggests that families are an often underutilized resource in 
        the reentry process.
            (8) Approximately 100,000 juveniles (ages 17 years and 
        under) leave juvenile correctional facilities, State prison, or 
        Federal prison each year. Juveniles released from secure 
        confinement still have their likely prime crime years ahead of 
        them. Juveniles released from secure confinement have a 
        recidivism rate ranging from 55 to 75 percent. The chances that 
        young people will successfully transition into society improve 
        with effective reentry and aftercare programs.
            (9) Studies have shown that between 15 percent and 27 
        percent of prisoners expect to go to homeless shelters upon 
        release from prison.
            (10) Fifty-seven percent of Federal and 70 percent of State 
        inmates used drugs regularly before going to prison, and the 
        Bureau of Justice Statistics report titled ``Trends in State 
        Parole, 1990-2000'' estimates the use of drugs or alcohol 
        around the time of the offense that resulted in the 
        incarceration of the inmate at as high as 84 percent.
            (11) The high prevalence of infectious disease, substance 
        abuse, and mental health disorders that has been found in 
        incarcerated populations demands that a recovery model of 
        treatment should be used for handling the more than \2/3\ of 
        all offenders with such needs.
            (12) Family-based treatment programs have proven results 
        for serving the special populations of female offenders and 
        substance abusers with children. An evaluation by the Substance 
        Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration of family-based 
        treatment for substance-abusing mothers and children found that 
        6 months after such treatment, 60 percent of the mothers 
        remained alcohol and drug free, and drug-related offenses 
        declined from 28 percent to 7 percent. Additionally, a 2003 
        evaluation of residential family-based treatment programs 
        revealed that 60 percent of mothers remained clean and sober 6 
        months after treatment, criminal arrests declined by 43 
        percent, and 88 percent of the children treated in the program 
        with their mothers remained stabilized.
            (13) A Bureau of Justice Statistics analysis indicated that 
        only 33 percent of Federal inmates and 36 percent of State 
        inmates had participated in residential inpatient treatment 
        programs for alcohol and drug abuse 12 months before their 
        release. Further, over \1/3\ of all jail inmates have some 
        physical or mental disability and 25 percent of jail inmates 
        have been treated at some time for a mental or emotional 
        problem.
            (14) State Substance Abuse Agency Directors, also known as 
        Single State Authorities (in this paragraph referred to as 
        ``SSAs''), manage the publicly funded substance abuse 
        prevention and treatment system of the Nation. SSAs are 
        responsible for planning and implementing statewide systems of 
        care that provide clinically appropriate substance abuse 
        services. Given the high rate of substance use disorders among 
        offenders reentering our communities, successful reentry 
        programs require close interaction and collaboration with each 
        SSA as the program is planned, implemented and evaluated.
            (15) According to the National Institute of Literacy, 70 
        percent of all prisoners function at the lowest literacy 
        levels.
            (16) Less than 32 percent of State prison inmates have a 
        high school diploma or a higher level of education, compared to 
        82 percent of the general population.
            (17) Approximately 38 percent of inmates who completed 11 
        years or less of school were not working before entry into 
        prison.
            (18) The percentage of State prisoners participating in 
        educational programs decreased by more than 8 percent between 
        1991 and 1997, despite growing evidence of how educational 
        programming while incarcerated reduces recidivism.
            (19) The National Institute of Justice has found that 1 
        year after release, up to 60 percent of former inmates are not 
        employed.
            (20) Transitional jobs programs have proven to help people 
        with criminal records to successfully return to the workplace 
        and to the community, and therefore can reduce recidivism.
            (21) Successful reentry protects those who might otherwise 
        be crime victims. It also improves the likelihood that 
        individuals released from prison or juvenile detention 
        facilities can pay fines, fees, restitution, and family 
        support.
            (22) Participation in State correctional education programs 
        lowers the likelihood of reincarceration by 29 percent, 
        according to a recent United States Department of Education 
        study. A Federal Bureau of Prisons study found a 33 percent 
        drop in recidivism among Federal prisoners who participated in 
        vocational and apprenticeship training.

 Subtitle B--Commission To Study Alternatives to Incarceration of Non-
               Violent Mentally Ill Offenders Act of 2007

SEC. 3201. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Commission to Study 
Alternatives to Incarceration of Non-Violent Mentally Ill Offenders Act 
of 2007''.

SEC. 3202. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) A Bureau of Justice Statistics report from September 
        2006, entitled ``Mental Health Problems of Prison and Jail 
        Inmates'', found that more than 50 percent of all prison and 
        jail inmates had a mental health problem, including 705,600 
        inmates in State prisons, 78,800 in Federal prisons, and 
        479,900 in local jails.
            (2) Fifty-six percent of State prisoners, 45 percent of 
        Federal prisoners, and 64 percent of jail inmates were found to 
        have a mental health problem.
            (3) Twenty-four percent of jail inmates and 15 percent of 
        State prisoners ``reported symptoms that met the criteria for a 
        psychotic disorder''.
            (4) Female inmates had higher rates of mental health 
        problems than male inmates, specifically in State prisons, 73 
        percent of females and 55 percent of males reported mental 
        health problems and in local jails, 75 percent of females and 
        63 percent of males reported mental health problems.
            (5) Thirteen percent of State prisoners who had a mental 
        health problem were homeless in the year before their arrest, 
        twice the percentage of State prisoners that did not have a 
        mental health problem who were homeless in the year before 
        their arrest.
            (6) Twenty-four percent of jail inmates who had a mental 
        health problem reported being physically or sexually abused in 
        the past, which is 3 times the percentage of jail inmates 
        without a mental health problem reporting such abuse.
            (7) Twenty percent of State prisoners who had a mental 
        health problem were injured in a fight after being 
        incarcerated, twice the percentage of State prisoners without a 
        mental health problem who were injured in a fight after being 
        incarcerated.
            (8) The National Association of Counties unanimously 
        adopted a resolution in 2006, calling for the creation of a 
        national commission to study and make recommendations on the 
        jailing of the nonviolent mentally ill in county jails and 
        State prisons. In passing this resolution, the National 
        Association of Counties pointed out that ``The nation's local 
        jails are increasingly becoming the dumping grounds for the 
        mentally ill.''.
            (9) The National Association of Counties has emphasized the 
        importance of including on the national commission described in 
        paragraph (8) representatives of organizations that represent 
        governments and government agencies, including representatives 
        from organizations such as the National Association of Cities, 
        the National League of Cities, the United States Conference of 
        Mayors, the Council of State Governments, the National 
        Conference of State Legislatures, the National Governors 
        Association, and the International City/County Management 
        Association and a representative from the Office of Management 
        and Budget.
            (10) Other groups, including the National Sheriffs' 
        Association, the National District Attorneys Association, the 
        American Psychiatric Association, the National Association of 
        Country Behavioral and Development Disability Directors, and 
        the American Correctional Association all support the creation 
        of the national commission described in paragraph (8).

    (a) Establishment.--Not later than 3 months after the date of 
enactment of this Act, the Attorney General of the United States shall

                     TITLE IV--PROTECTING CHILDREN

          Subtitle A--Combating Child Exploitation Act of 2007

SEC. 4101. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Combating Child Exploitation 
Act of 2007''.

SEC. 4102. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Internet has facilitated the growth of a multi-
        billion dollar global market for images and video of children 
        being sexually-displayed, raped, and tortured, far exceeding 
        law enforcement's capacity to respond at the Federal, State, 
        and local level.
            (2) The explosion of child pornography trafficking is 
        claiming very young victims. Research by the Department of 
        Justice, the University of New Hampshire, and the National 
        Center for Missing and Exploited Children indicates that among 
        those arrested for possession of child pornography, 83 percent 
        have images of children 6-12 years old, 39 percent have images 
        of children 3-5 years old, and 19 percent have images of 
        children under the age of 3 years old.
            (3) The images and videos being trafficked typically depict 
        sexual assaults that are both graphic and brutal. The same 
        research indicates that 80 percent of known child pornography 
        possessors have images of children being sexually penetrated 
        and 21 percent have images depicting children bound, gagged, 
        blindfolded, or ``otherwise enduring sadistic sex.'' Just 1 
        percent restricted their collecting to images of simple child 
        nudity.
            (4) Millions of American children and teens are at risk 
        from sexual predators who are hunting, stalking, and luring 
        minors online. Along with the incredible access to the world 
        offered our children by the Internet, the Internet also offers 
        the world access to our children.
            (5) The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force program 
        (``ICAC Program'') of the Department of Justice has identified 
        millions of child pornography transactions involving images and 
        video of child sexual assault from millions of computer IP 
        addresses worldwide.
            (6) The ICAC Program has been highly successful in creating 
        and sustaining an emerging national network of 46 Federal, 
        State, and local task forces, which form the backbone of 
        America's national readiness to combat child exploitation.
            (7) In testimony before Congress, law enforcement experts 
        have expressed consensus that lack of dedicated forensic 
        analysis capacity is a severe problem at the Federal, State, 
        and local level, severely limiting the number of predators that 
        can be interdicted and children that can be identified and 
        rescued.
            (8) The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of 
        Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, and the United States 
        Postal Inspection Service have each developed highly 
        specialized and successful child exploitation investigative 
        capabilities, yet these agencies have testified to Congress 
        that they must triage the overwhelming number of child 
        exploitation crimes and cannot investigate a large percentage 
        of known crimes.
            (9) Child pornography and online child enticement crimes 
        have among the highest conviction rates of any child sexual 
        offense, and the Department of Justice funded research 
        indicates that the majority of child pornography offenders have 
        committed or attempted direct sexual contact offenses against 
        children. Investigating and prosecuting these predators is thus 
        one of the most concrete and measurable strategies for the 
        prevention of future child sexual abuse.

SEC. 4103. DEFINITIONS.

    In this subtitle, the following definitions shall apply:
            (1) Child exploitation.--The term ``child exploitation'' 
        means any conduct, or an attempt or conspiracy to commit such 
        conduct, constituting criminal sexual abuse of a minor, sexual 
        exploitation of a minor, abusive sexual contact of a minor, 
        sexually explicit conduct with a minor, or any similar offense 
        under Federal or State law.
            (2) Minor.--The term ``minor'' means any person under the 
        age of 18 years.
            (3) Sexually explicit conduct.--The term ``sexually 
        explicit conduct'' has the meaning as in section 2256 of title 
        18, United States Code.

        times more likely to be victims of violent crime than adults.
            (3) According to data from the Bureau of Justice 
        Statistics, only 29 percent of violent crimes against people 
        between ages 12 and 17 are actually reported to police.

        children and families, including delayed development, 
        depression, substance abuse, and increased likelihood of 
        experiencing or perpetrating domestic violence as an adult.

        jurisdiction.
            (8) With an estimated 30,000 gangs operating within the 
        United States, gang violence and drug trafficking remain 
        serious problems throughout the country, causing injury and 
        death to innocent victims, often children.
            (9)(A) On November 13, 2005, a gang-related dispute broke 
        out in San Bernardino, California, and gunfire sprayed an 
        apartment building, killing 11-year-old Mynisha Crenshaw and 
        seriously wounding her 14-year-old sister as they ate Sunday 
        dinner with their family.
            (B) This tragic shooting symbolizes the struggle that so 
        many communities across the United States, like San Bernardino, 
        face in combating gang violence, and serves as a reminder of 
        the nationwide problem of protecting children from senseless 
        violence.
            (10) According to the National Drug Threat Assessment, 
        criminal street gangs are responsible for the distribution of 
        much of the cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and other illegal 
        drugs throughout the United States.
            (11) Coordination of Federal resources is needed to reduce 
        gang violence through proven and proactive prevention and 
        intervention programs, including programs that focus on keeping 
        at-risk youth in school and out of the criminal justice system.

        Subtitle B--Dextromethorphan Abuse Reduction Act of 2007

SEC. 5201. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Dextromethorphan Abuse 
Reduction Act of 2007''.

SEC. 5202. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) When used properly, cough medicines that contain 
        dextromethorphan have a long history of being safe and 
        effective. But abuse of dextromethorphan at high doses can 
        produce hallucinations, rapid heart beat, high blood pressure, 
        loss of consciousness, and seizures. The dangers multiply when 
        dextromethorphan is abused with alcohol, prescription drugs, or 
        narcotics.
            (2) Dextromethorphan is inexpensive, legal, and readily 
        accessible, which has contributed to the increased abuse of 
        that drug, particularly among teenagers.
            (3) Increasing numbers of teens and others are abusing 
        dextromethorphan by ingesting it in excessive quantities. 
        Prolonged use at high doses can lead to psychological 
        dependence on the drug. Abuse of dextromethorphan can also 
        cause impaired judgment, which can lead to injury or death.
            (4) Dextromethorphan abuse increased by a factor of 10 
        during the period of 1999 through 2004, with an increase by a 
        factor of 15 among children aged 9 to 17 years.
            (5) An estimated 2,400,000 teenagers (1 in 10) abused over-
        the-counter cough medicines in 2005. Children ages 9 to 17 
        years are the fastest growing group of dextromethorphan 
        abusers.
            (6) The Food and Drug Administration has called the abuse 
        of dextromethorphan a ``serious issue'' and a ``disturbing new 
        trend'' that can cause ``death as well as other serious adverse 
        events such as brain damage, seizure, loss of consciousness, 
        and irregular heartbeat.''.
            (7) In recognition of the problem, several retailers have 
        voluntarily implemented age restrictions on purchases of cough 
        and cold medicines containing dextromethorphan.
            (8) Prevention is a key component of addressing the rise in 
        the abuse of legal medications. Education campaigns teaching 
        teens and parents about the dangers of these drugs are an 
        important part of this effort.

        ingredients during the process of manufacturing a tablet,

        subparagraph (A).

       Subtitle C--Recognizing Addiction as a Disease Act of 2007

SEC. 5301. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Recognizing Addiction as a 
Disease Act of 2007''.

SEC. 5302. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is 
        characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite 
        harmful consequences. It is considered a brain disease because 
        drugs change the brain's structure and manner in which it 
        functions. These brain changes can be long lasting, and can 
        lead to the harmful behaviors seen in people who abuse drugs. 
        The disease of addiction affects both brain and behavior, and 
        scientists have identified many of the biological and 
        environmental factors that contribute to the development and 
        progression of the disease.
            (2) The pejorative term ``abuse'' used in connection with 
        diseases of addiction has the adverse effect of increasing 
        social stigma and personal shame, both of which are so often 
        barriers to an individual's decision to seek treatment.

            Subtitle D--Children of Addicted Parents of 2007

SEC. 5401. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Children of Addicted Parents 
Act of 2007''.

SEC. 5402. FINDINGS.

    Congress find the following:
            (1) Children of addicted parents are at highest risk for 
        early alcohol and drug use and addiction, for being victims of 
        abuse and neglect, for developing early mental health problems, 
        for developmental damage from the chronic emotional stress of 
        living in addicted families, for joining gangs, and for 
        entering the juvenile justice system. One in 4 children under 
        the age of 18 lives in a family with alcohol abuse or alcohol 
        addiction. Millions more live with a parent who is addicted to 
        drugs.
            (2) Early age-appropriate preventive interventions for 
        these children, such as targeted educational support programs 
        that could be offered in schools, social service agencies, 
        addiction treatment programs, community and faith-based youth 
        service organizations, and in early childhood programs, can 
        support these young people in developing resilience, making 
        healthy choices, and preventing them from entering the juvenile 
        justice system or developing alcohol or drug use problems.
            (3) Low-cost and targeted prevention services in the 
        community systems where children are most readily found provide 
        the possibility of reducing the high-cost services required 
        once a young person enters the juvenile justice system.

SEC. 5403. DEFINITIONS.

    In this subtitle:
            (1) Caretaker.--The term ``caretaker'', with respect to a 
        child of an alcohol or drug addicted parent, means any 
        individual acting in a parental role regarding the child 
        (including any birth parent, foster parent, adoptive parent, 
        relative of such a child, or other individual acting in such a 
        role).
            (2) Children of addicted parents.--The term ``children of

        (as defined in, or established pursuant to, the Alaska Native 
        Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.)), that is 
        recognized as eligible for the special programs and services 
        provided by the United States to Indians because of their 
        status as Indians.
            (4) Public or nonprofit private entities.--The term 
        ``public or nonprofit private entities'' includes community-
        based organizations, local public health departments, community 
        action organizations, faith organizations, local school 
        systems, child welfare agencies, family resource and support 
        programs, Indian organizations, including urban Indian

the production of documentary or other evidence.

                substance in schedule III, IV, or V, (except a

                through the end of the paragraph and inserting 
                ``sentenced in accordance with section 401(b)(1)(D) of

        sentenced be eligible for parole during the term of such a 
        sentence'' in the final sentence.
    (k) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this subtitle shall 
become effective 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
    (l) Guidelines and Regulations.--
            (1) In general.--The Attorney General may promulgate and 
        enforce any rules, regulations, and procedures which may be 
        necessary and appropriate for the efficient execution of 
        functions under this subtitle, including any interim rules

                penalty for a violation involving a controlled 
                substance in a particular schedule as being the sole 
                reason to amend a, or establish a new, guideline or 
                policy statement.
    (m) Annual Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of

          Subtitle F--Local Drug Crisis Enhancement Grants Act

SEC. 5601. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Local Drug Crisis Enhancement 
Grants Act''.

SEC. 5602. GRANTS.

    Section 1032 of the Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997 (21 U.S.C. 
1532) is amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(c) Coalition Enhancement Grants for Communities With Major Local 
Drug Issues.--
            ``(1) Authorization of program.--The Administrator of the 
        Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, in 
        consultation with the Director of the Office of National Drug 
        Control Policy, shall award enhancement grants to eligible

        that address a local drug crisis.
            ``(2) Application.--A coalition desiring an enhancement 
        grant under this subsection shall submit an application to the 
        Administrator at such time, and in such manner, and accompanied 
        by such information as the Administrator may require.
            ``(3) Criteria.--A coalition meets the criteria specified 
        in this subsection if the coalition--
                    ``(A) has demonstrated, with local data from 
                sources such as school surveys, police reports, 
                emergency room admissions, or coroner's reports, that a 
                specific drug has become a local crisis; and
                    ``(B) submits to the Administrator a detailed, 
                comprehensive multisector plan for addressing the 
                specific local drug crisis.

  Subtitle G--Extraterritorial Controlled Substance Trafficking Venue 
                       Clarification Act of 2007

SEC. 5701. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Extraterritorial Controlled 
Substance Trafficking Venue Clarification Act of 2007''.

SEC. 5702. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Individuals continue to commit acts outside the United 
        States for the purpose of smuggling controlled substances into 
        the United States.
            (2) In order to deter, reduce, and punish illegal acts 
        outside the United States designed and intended to smuggle 
        controlled substances into the United States, it is important 
        that United States district courts have a clear basis for the 
        exercise of venue over such crimes.
            (3) Establishing venue criteria for determining the choice 
        of venue when trying foreign offenders will facilitate the 
        charging and prosecution of such offenders and allow for trial 
        of such offenders in the districts which are most adversely 
        impacted by the unlawful activity.

SEC. 5703. ADDITIONAL BASIS OF VENUE FOR EXTRATERRITORIAL TRAFFICKING 
              IN CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES.

    Section 1009(c) of the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act 
(21 U.S.C. 959(c)) is amended by inserting after ``enters the United 
States,'' the following: ``in the district in which the offender is 
first inspected and admitted to the United States,''.

SEC. 5704. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    The amendments made by this subtitle shall apply with respect to 
any offense committed on or after the date of enactment of this Act and 
to any prosecution in which the indictment or other charging instrument 
is filed on or after the date of enactment of this Act.

     Subtitle H--Methamphetamine Production Prevention Act of 2007

SEC. 5801. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Methamphetamine Production 
Prevention Act of 2007''.

SEC. 5802. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the manufacture, distribution, and use of 
        methamphetamine have inflicted damages on individuals, 
        families, communities, businesses, the economy, and the 
        environment throughout the United States;
            (2) methamphetamine is unique among illicit drugs in that 
        the harms relating to methamphetamine stem not only from its 
        distribution and use, but also from the manufacture of the drug 
        by ``cooks'' in clandestine labs throughout the United States;
            (3) Federal and State restrictions limiting the sale of 
        legal drug products that contain methamphetamine precursors 
        have reduced the number and size of domestic methamphetamine 
        labs;
            (4) domestic methamphetamine cooks have managed to 
        circumvent restrictions on the sale of methamphetamine 
        precursors by ``smurfing'', or purchasing impermissibly large 
        cumulative amounts of precursor products by traveling from 
        retailer to retailer and buying permissible quantities at each 
        retailer;
            (5) although Federal and State laws require retailers of 
        methamphetamine precursor products to keep written or 
        electronic logbooks recording sales of precursor products, 
        retailers are not always required to transmit this logbook 
        information to appropriate law enforcement and regulatory 
        agencies, except upon request;
            (6) when retailers' logbook information regarding sales of 
        methamphetamine precursor products is kept in a database in an 
        electronic format and transmitted between retailers and 
        appropriate law enforcement and regulatory agencies, such 
        information can be used to further reduce the number of 
        domestic methamphetamine labs by preventing the sale of 
        methamphetamine precursors in excess of legal limits, and by 
        identifying and prosecuting ``smurfs'' and others involved in 
        methamphetamine manufacturing;
            (7) States and local governments are already beginning to 
        develop such electronic logbook database systems, but they are 
        hindered by a lack of resources;
            (8) efforts by States and local governments to develop such 
        electronic logbook database systems may also be hindered by 
        logbook recordkeeping requirements contained in section 310(e) 
        of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 830(e)) that are 
        tailored to written logbooks and not to electronic logbooks; 
        and
            (9) providing resources to States and localities and making 
        technical corrections to the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic 
        Act of 2005 will allow more rapid and widespread development of 
        such electronic logbook systems, thereby reducing the domestic 
        manufacture of methamphetamine and its associated harms.

SEC. 5803. DEFINITIONS.

    In this subtitle--
            (1) the term ``local'' means a county, city, town,

        agencies information regarding the sale of a scheduled listed 
        chemical product that is required to be maintained under 
        section 310(e) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 
        830(e)) (as amended by this Act), State law governing the

        electronic list'' and inserting ``a written list or an 
        electronic list that complies with subparagraph (H)''; and

                    ``(H) Electronic logbooks.--

                of information regarding a prospective purchaser into 
                the methamphetamine precursor electronic logbook 
                system, whether that prospective purchaser has been 
                determined by appropriate law enforcement or regulatory 
                agencies to be eligible, ineligible, or potentially 
                ineligible to purchase a scheduled listed chemical 
                product under Federal, State, or local law; and
                    (B) provide contact information for a prospective 
                purchaser to use if the prospective purchaser wishes to 
                question a determination by appropriate law enforcement 
                or regulatory agencies that the prospective purchaser 
                is ineligible or potentially ineligible to purchase a 
                scheduled listed chemical product.
            (2) Access to information.--Any methamphetamine precursor 
        electronic logbook system planned, developed, implemented, or 
        enhanced with a grant under this section shall prohibit

          TITLE VI--PREVENTING ILLEGAL TRAFFICKING OF FIREARMS

     Subtitle A--Firearms Background Check Enhancement Act of 2007

SEC. 6101. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Firearms Background Check 
Enhancement Act of 2007''.

SEC. 6102. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) more than 4,400 traditional gun shows are held annually 
        across the United States, attracting thousands of attendees per 
        show and hundreds of Federal firearms licensees and nonlicensed 
        firearms sellers;
            (2) traditional gun shows, as well as flea markets and 
        other organized events, at which a large number of firearms are 
        offered for sale by Federal firearms licensees and nonlicensed 
        firearms sellers form a significant part of the national 
        firearms market;
            (3) firearms and ammunition that are exhibited or offered 
        for sale or exchange at gun shows, flea markets, and other 
        organized events move easily in and substantially affect 
        interstate commerce;
            (4) in addition, before a firearm is exhibited or offered 
        for sale or exchange at a gun show, flea market, or other 
        organized event, the gun, its component parts, ammunition, and 
        the raw materials from which it is manufactured have moved in 
        interstate commerce;
            (5) gun shows, flea markets, and other organized events at 
        which firearms are exhibited or offered for sale or exchange 
        provide a convenient and centralized commercial location at 
        which firearms may be bought and sold anonymously, often 
        without background checks and without records that enable gun 
        tracing;
            (6) since the enactment of the Brady Handgun Violence 
        Prevention Act (Public Law 103-159; 107 Stat. 1536) in 1993, 
        nearly 70,000,000 background checks have been performed by 
        Federal firearm licensees denying guns to 1,360,000 illegal 
        buyers;
            (7) at gun shows, flea markets, and other organized events 
        at which guns are exhibited or offered for sale or exchange, 
        criminals, terrorists, and other prohibited persons have 
        obtained guns without background checks and frequently use guns 
        that cannot be traced to later committed crimes;
            (8) many persons who buy and sell firearms at gun shows, 
        flea markets, and other organized events cross State lines to 
        attend these events and engage in the interstate transportation 
        of firearms obtained at these events;
            (9) gun violence is a pervasive, national problem that is 
        exacerbated by the free availability of guns at gun shows, flea 
        markets, and other organized events;
            (10) firearms associated with gun shows have been 
        transferred illegally to residents of another State by Federal 
        firearms licensees and nonlicensed firearms sellers, and have 
        been involved in subsequent crimes including drug offenses, 
        crimes of violence, property crimes, and illegal possession of 
        firearms by felons and other prohibited persons; and
            (11) Congress has the power, under the interstate commerce 
        clause and other provisions of the Constitution of the United 
        States, to ensure, by enactment of this Act, that criminals and 
        other prohibited persons do not obtain firearms at gun shows, 
        flea markets, and other organized events.

                transported in, or otherwise affects, interstate or 
                foreign commerce; and

        photograph of the vendor;
            ``(3) before commencement of the gun show, requires each

                    ``(A) a ledger with identifying information

        agency of the United States Government, or of a State or local 
        government.

        United States Government, a State, or a local government in 
        furtherance of national defense, national security, or the 
        administration of justice.
            (8) Whether the offense was intended to, or had the effect 
        of significantly interfering with or disrupting a critical 
        infrastructure.
            (9) Whether the offense was intended to, or had the effect 
        of creating a threat to public health or safety, causing injury 
        to any person, or causing death.
            (10) Whether the defendant purposefully involved a juvenile 
        in the commission of the offense.
            (11) Whether the defendant's intent to cause damage or 
        intent to obtain personal information should be disaggregated 
        and considered separately from the other factors set forth in 
        USSG 2B1.1(b)(14).
            (12) Whether the term ``victim,'' as used in USSG 2B1.1, 
        should include individuals whose privacy was violated as a 
        result of the offense in addition to individuals who suffered 
        monetary harm as a result of the offense.
            (13) Whether the defendant disclosed personal information 
        obtained during the commission of the offense.
    (c) Additional Requirements.--In carrying out this section, the 
Commission shall--
            (1) assure reasonable consistency with other relevant 
        directives and with other sentencing guidelines;
            (2) account for any additional aggravating or mitigating 
        circumstances that might justify exceptions to the generally 
        applicable sentencing ranges;
            (3) make any conforming changes to the sentencing 
        guidelines; and
            (4) assure that the guidelines adequately meet the purposes 
        of sentencing as set forth in section 3553(a)(2) of title 18, 
        United States Code.

        that an individual might gain unauthorized access to a computer 
        owned or operated by a candidate for public office for the 
        purpose of providing information about his candidacy or a 
        computer involved in electronic voting and thereby obtain,

                        TITLE IX--CRIME VICTIMS

        Subtitle A--Crime Victims With Disabilities Act of 2007

SEC. 9101. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Crime Victims with Disabilities 
Act of 2007''.

SEC. 9102. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Adults with disabilities experience violence or abuse 
        at least twice as often as people without disabilities, and 
        adults with developmental disabilities are at risk of being 
        physically or sexually assaulted at rates four to ten times 
        greater than other adults.
            (2) Individuals with disabilities suffer from additional 
        ``victimization'' within the justice system, due to lack of 
        physical, programmatic, and communications accommodations 
        needed for equal access.
            (3) Women with disabilities are more likely to be 
        victimized, to experience more severe and prolonged violence, 
        and to suffer more serious and chronic effects from that 
        violence, than women without such disabilities.
            (4) Sixty-eight to 83 percent of women with developmental 
        disabilities will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime.
            (5) An estimated 5,000,000 crimes are committed against 
        individuals with developmental disabilities annually.
            (6) Over 70 percent of crimes committed against individuals 
        with developmental disabilities are not reported.
            (7) Studies in the United States, Canada, Australia, and 
        Great Britain consistently show that victims with developmental 
        disabilities suffer repeated victimization because so few of 
        the crimes against them are reported.
            (8) The National Crime Victims Survey conducted annually by 
        the Bureau of Justice Statistics of the Department of Justice, 
        does not specifically collect data relating to crimes against 
        individuals with developmental disabilities, nor do they use 
        disability as a demographic variable as they use other 
        important demographic variables, such as gender, age, and 
        racial and ethnic membership.

SEC. 9103. PURPOSE.

    (a) In General.--The purpose of this subtitle is to increase the 
awareness, investigation, prosecution, and prevention of crimes against 
individuals with a disability, including developmental disabilities, 
and improve services to those who are victimized, by facilitating 
collaboration among the criminal justice system and a range of agencies 
and other organizations that provide services to individuals with 
disabilities.
    (b) Need for Collaboration.--Collaboration among the criminal 
justice system and agencies and other organizations that provide 
services to individuals with disabilities is needed to--
            (1) protect individuals with disabilities by ensuring that 
        crimes are reported, and that reported crimes are actively 
        investigated by both law enforcement agencies and agencies and 
        other organizations that provide services to individuals with 
        disabilities;
            (2) provide prosecutors and victim assistance organizations 
        with adequate training to ensure that crimes against 
        individuals with disabilities are appropriately and effectively 
        addressed in court;
            (3) identify and ensure that appropriate reasonable 
        accommodations are provided to individuals with disabilities in 
        a safe and conducive environment, allowing crimes to be 
        reported accurately to law enforcement agencies; and
            (4) promote communication among criminal justice agencies, 
        and agencies and other organizations that provide services to 
        individuals with disabilities, including Victim Assistance 
        Organizations, to ensure that the needs of crime victims with 
        disabilities are met.

    Section 3664(f) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by 
striking paragraphs (2) through (4) and inserting the following:
    ``(C)(i) Each restitution order shall--
            ``(I) contain information sufficient to identify each 
        victim to whom restitution is owed;
            ``(II) require that a copy of the court order be sent to 
        each such victim; and
            ``(III) inform each such victim of the obligation to notify 
        the appropriate entities of any change in address.
    ``(ii) It shall be the responsibility of each victim to whom 
restitution is owed to notify the Attorney General, or the appropriate 
entity of the court, by means of a form to be provided by the Attorney 
General or the court, of any change in the victim's mailing address 
while restitution is still owed to the victim.
    ``(iii) The confidentiality of any information relating to a victim 
under this subparagraph shall be maintained.
    ``(2) The court shall order that the restitution imposed is due in 
full immediately upon imposition.
    ``(3) The court shall direct the defendant--
            ``(A) to make a good-faith effort to satisfy the 
        restitution order in the shortest time in which full 
        restitution can be reasonably made, and to refrain from taking 
        any action that conceals or dissipates the defendant's assets 
        or income;
            ``(B) to notify the court of any change in residence; and
            ``(C) to notify the United States Attorney for the district 
        in which the defendant was sentenced of any change in 
        residence, and of any material change in economic circumstances 
        that might affect the defendant's ability to pay restitution.
    ``(4) Compliance with all payment directions imposed under 
paragraphs (6) and (7) shall be prima facie evidence of a good faith 
effort under paragraph (3)(A), unless it is shown that the defendant 
has concealed or dissipated assets.
    ``(5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the purpose 
of enforcing a restitution order, a United States Attorney may receive, 
without the need for a court order, any financial information 
concerning the defendant obtained by the grand jury that indicted the 
defendant for the crime for which restitution has been awarded, the 
United States Probation Office, or the Bureau of Prisons. A victim may 
also provide financial information concerning the defendant to the 
United States Attorney.
    ``(6)(A) At sentencing, or at any time prior to the termination of 
a restitution obligation under section 3613 of this title, the court 
may--
            ``(i) impose special payment directions upon the defendant 
        or modify such directions; or
            ``(ii) direct the defendant to make a single, lump sum 
        payment, partial payments at specified intervals, in-kind 
        payments, or a combination of payments at specified intervals 
        and in-kind payments.
    ``(B) The period of time over which scheduled payments are 
established for purposes of this paragraph shall be the shortest time 
in which full payment reasonably can be made.
    ``(C) In-kind payments may be in the form of the return of 
property, replacement of property, or, if the victim agrees, services 
rendered to the victim or a person or organization other than the 
victim.
    ``(D) In ordering restitution, the court may direct the defendant 
to--
            ``(i) repatriate any property that constitutes proceeds of 
        the offense of conviction, or property traceable to such 
        proceeds; and
            ``(ii) surrender to the United States, or to the victim 
        named in the restitution order, any interest of the defendant 
        in any nonexempt asset.
    ``(E) The court may enter a restraining order or injunction, 
require the execution of a satisfactory performance bond, or take any 
other action to preserve the availability of property for restitution.
    ``(7)(A) In determining whether to impose or modify specific 
payment directions, the court may consider--
            ``(i) the need to provide restitution to the victims of the 
        offense;
            ``(ii) the financial ability of the defendant;
            ``(iii) the economic circumstances of the defendant, 
        including the financial resources and other assets of the 
        defendant and whether any of those assets are jointly 
        controlled;
            ``(iv) the projected earnings and other income of the 
        defendant;
            ``(v) any financial obligations of the defendant, including 
        obligations to dependents;
            ``(vi) whether the defendant has concealed or dissipated 
        assets or income; and
            ``(vii) any other appropriate circumstances.
    ``(B) Any substantial resources from any source, including 
inheritance, settlement, or other judgment, shall be applied to any 
outstanding restitution obligation.
    ``(8)(A) If the court finds that the economic circumstances of the 
defendant do not allow the payment of any substantial amount as 
restitution, the court may direct the defendant to make nominal 
payments of not less than $100 per year toward the restitution 
obligation.
    ``(B) Any money received from the defendant under subparagraph (A) 
shall be disbursed so that any outstanding assessment imposed under 
section 3013 is paid first in full.
    ``(9) Court-imposed special payment directions shall not limit the 
ability of the Attorney General to maintain an Inmate Financial 
Responsibility Program that encourages sentenced inmates to meet their 
legitimate financial obligations.
    ``(10)(A) The ability of the Attorney General to enforce 
restitution obligations ordered under paragraph (2) shall not be 
limited by appeal, or the possibility of a correction, modification, 
amendment, adjustment, or reimposition of a sentence, unless the court 
expressly so orders for good cause shown and stated on the record.
    ``(B) Absent exceptional circumstances, as determined by the court, 
an order limiting the enforcement of restitution obligations shall--
            ``(i) require the defendant to deposit, in the registry of 
        the district court, any amount of the restitution that is due;
            ``(ii) require the defendant to post a bond or other 
        security to ensure payment of the restitution that is due; or
            ``(iii) impose additional restraints upon the defendant to 
        prevent the defendant from transferring or dissipating assets.
    ``(C) No order described in subparagraph (B) shall restrain the 
ability of the United States to continue its investigation of the 
defendant's financial circumstances, conduct discovery, record a lien, 
or seek any injunction or other relief from the court.''.

                shortest time in which full payment can be reasonably 
                made, and to refrain from taking any action that

        defendant, if convicted, will be ordered to satisfy an order of 
        restitution for an offense punishable by imprisonment for more 
        than 1 year, the court--
                    ``(A) shall--

                preserve any nonexempt asset (as defined in section 
                3613) of the defendant that may be used to satisfy such 
                restitution order.

        paragraph (1) shall be governed by the procedures under section 
        413(e) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 853(e)) and 
        in this section.
            ``(3) Monetary instruments.--If the property in question is 
        a monetary instrument (as defined in section 1956(c)(5)) or 
        funds in electronic form, the protective order issued under 
        paragraph (1) may take the form of a warrant authorizing the 
        Government to seize the property and to deposit it into an 
        interest-bearing account in the Registry of the Court in the 
        district in which the warrant was issued, or into another such 
        account maintained by a substitute property custodian, as the 
        court may direct.
            ``(4) Post-indictment.--A post-indictment protective order 
        entered under paragraph (1) shall remain in effect through the

        motion by the Government or under subsection (b) or (c).
    ``(b) Defendant's Right to a Hearing.--
            ``(1) In general.--In the case of a preindictment

        defendant's right to a post-restraint hearing shall be governed 
        by paragraphs (1)(B) and (2) of section 413(e) of the 
        Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 853(e)).

        protective order entered under subsection (a)(1), the defendant 
        shall have a right to a post-restraint hearing regarding the 
        continuation or modification of the order if the defendant--
                    ``(A) establishes by a preponderance of the 
                evidence that there are no assets, other than the 
                restrained property, available to the defendant to 
                retain counsel in the criminal case or to provide for a 
                reasonable living allowance for the necessary expenses 
                of the defendant and the defendant's lawful dependents; 
                and
                    ``(B) makes a prima facie showing that there is 
                bona fide reason to believe that the court's ex parte 
                finding of probable cause under subsection (a)(1) was 
                in error.
            ``(3) Hearing.--
                    ``(A) In general.--If the court determines that the 
                defendant has satisfied the requirements of paragraph 
                (2), it may hold a hearing to determine whether there 
                is probable cause to believe that the defendant, if 
                convicted, will be ordered to satisfy an order of 
                restitution for an offense punishable by imprisonment 
                for more than 1 year, and that the seized or restrained 
                property may be needed to satisfy such restitution 
                order.
                    ``(B) Probable cause.--If the court finds probable 
                cause under subparagraph (A), the protective order 
                shall remain in effect.
                    ``(C) No probable cause.--If the court finds under 
                subparagraph (A) that no probable cause exists as to 
                some or all of the property, or determines that more 
                property has been seized and restrained than may be 
                needed to satisfy a restitution order, it shall modify 
                the protective order to the extent necessary to release 
                the property that should not have been restrained.
            ``(4) Rebuttal.--If the court conducts an evidentiary 
        hearing under paragraph (3), the court shall afford the 
        Government an opportunity to present rebuttal evidence and to 
        cross-examine any witness that the defendant may present.
            ``(5) Pretrial hearing.--In any pretrial hearing on a 
        protective order issued under subsection (a)(1), the court may 
        not entertain challenges to the grand jury's finding of 
        probable cause regarding the criminal offense giving rise to a 
        potential restitution order. The court shall ensure that such 
        hearings are not used to obtain disclosure of evidence or the 
        identities of witnesses earlier than required by the Federal 
        Rules of Criminal Procedure or other applicable law.
    ``(c) Third Party's Right to Post-Restraint Hearing.--
            ``(1) In general.--A person other than the defendant who 
        has a legal interest in property affected by a protective order 
        issued under subsection (a)(1) may move to modify the order on 
        the grounds that--
                    ``(A) the order causes an immediate and irreparable 
                hardship to the moving party; and
                    ``(B) less intrusive means exist to preserve the 
                property for the purpose of restitution.
            ``(2) Modification.--If, after considering any rebuttal 
        evidence offered by the Government, the court determines that 
        the moving party has made the showings required under paragraph 
        (1), the court shall modify the order to mitigate the hardship, 
        to the extent that it is possible to do so while preserving the 
        asset for restitution.
            ``(3) Intervention.--
                    ``(A) In general.--Except as provided in 
                subparagraph (B) or paragraph (1), a person other than 
                a defendant has no right to intervene in the criminal 
                case to object to the entry of any order issued under 
                this section or otherwise to object to an order 
                directing a defendant to pay restitution.
                    ``(B) Exception.--If, at the conclusion of the 
                criminal case, the court orders the defendant to use 
                particular assets to satisfy an order of restitution 
                (including assets that have been seized or restrained 
                pursuant to this section) the court shall give persons 
                other than the defendant the opportunity to object to 
                the order on the ground that the property belonged in 
                whole or in part to the third party and not to the 
                defendant, as provided in section 413(n) of the 
                Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 853(n)).
    ``(d) Geographic Scope of Order.--
            ``(1) In general.--A district court of the United States 
        shall have jurisdiction to enter an order under this section 
        without regard to the location of the property subject to the 
        order.
            ``(2) Outside the united states.--If the property subject 
        to an order issued under this section is located outside of the 
        United States, the order may be transmitted to the central 
        authority of any foreign state for service in accordance with 
        any treaty or other international agreement.
    ``(e) No Effect on Other Government Action.--Nothing in this 
section shall be construed to preclude the Government from seeking the 
seizure, restraint, or forfeiture of assets under the asset forfeiture 
laws of the United States.
    ``(f) Limitation on Rights Conferred.--Nothing in this section 
shall be construed to create any enforceable right to have the 
Government seek the seizure or restraint of property for restitution.
    ``(g) Receivers.--
            ``(1) In general.--A court issuing an order under this 
        section may appoint a receiver under section 1956(b)(4) to 
        collect, marshal, and take custody, control, and possession of 
        all assets of the defendant, wherever located, that have been 
        restrained in accordance with this section.
            ``(2) Distribution of property.--The receiver shall have 
        the power to distribute property in its control to each victim 
        identified in an order of restitution at such time, and in such 
        manner, as the court may authorize.''.

          Subtitle B--Homeland Security Trust Fund Act of 2007

SEC. 10201. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Homeland Security Trust Fund 
Act of 2007''.

SEC. 10202. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 2002, an independent, bipartisan commission, the 
        National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States 
        (in this section referred to as the ``Commission''), was 
        established under title VI of Public Law 107-306 to prepare a 
        full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the 
        September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, including preparedness 
        for and the immediate response to the attacks.
            (2) The Commission was also tasked with providing 
        recommendations designed to guard against future attacks 
        against the United States.
            (3) The Commission held 12 public hearings to offer a 
        public dialogue about the Commission's goals and priorities, 
        sought to learn about work already completed, and the state of 
        current knowledge, all in order to identify the most important 
        issues and questions requiring further investigation.
            (4) The Commission was widely praised for its thorough 
        investigation and the bipartisan nature of its proceedings.
            (5) On July 22, 2004, the Commission released its final 
        report that set out the events leading to the attacks on 
        September 11th, a chilling minute-by-minute account of that 
        tragic day, and, more importantly, issued 41 recommendations to 
        better prepare the United States to protect against future 
        terrorist attacks.
            (6) While the Commission was officially dissolved, the 
        Commissioners stayed together to create the 9/11 Public 
        Discourse Project in order to push for the implementation of 
        those recommendations.
            (7) On December 5, 2005, the Commissioners released a 
        report card evaluating the progress in implementing those 
        recommendations.
            (8) The Commissioners issued very few A's and B's and 
        issued 12 D's and 5 failing grades.
            (9) The failures identified by the Commissioners' report 
        card were across the board, ranging from transportation 
        security, to infrastructure protection and government reform.
            (10) Specifically, the Commissioners stated that ``few 
        improvements have been made to the existing passenger screening 
        system since right after 9/11. The completion of the testing 
        phase of TSA's pre-screening program for airline passengers has 
        been delayed. A new system, utilizing all names on the 
        consolidated terrorist watch list, is therefore not yet in 
        operation.''.
            (11) The Commissioners also found that ``...No risk and 
        vulnerability assessments actually made; no national priorities 
        established; no recommendations made on allocation of scarce 
        resources...It is time that we stop talking about setting 
        priorities and actually set some.''.
            (12) The Commission issued a grade of D on checked bag and 
        cargo screening measures, stating that ``improvements have not 
        been made by the Congress or the administration. Progress on 
        implementation of in-line screening has been slow. The main 
        impediment is inadequate funding.''.
            (13) With regard to information sharing and technology, the 
        Commission noted that ``there has been no systematic diplomatic 
        efforts to share terrorist watch lists, nor has Congress taken 
        a leadership role in passport security...'' and that ``there 
        remain many complaints about lack of information sharing 
        between federal authorities and state and local level 
        officials.''.
            (14) The Administration has failed to focus on prevention 
        here at home by abandoning our first line of defense against 
        terrorism, local law enforcement.
            (15) In the President's FY 2006 budget request, the 
        President requested a cut of over $2,000,000,000 in guaranteed 
        assistance to law enforcement.
            (16) According to the International Association of Chiefs 
        of Police, this decision represents a fundamentally flawed view 
        of what is needed to prevent domestic terror attacks.
            (17) The Council on Foreign Relations released a report 
        entitled, ``Emergency First Responders: Drastically 
        Underfunded, Dangerously Unprepared'', in which the Council 
        found that ``America's local emergency responders will always 
        be the first to confront a terrorist incident and will play the 
        central role in managing its immediate consequences. Their 
        efforts in the first minutes and hours following an attack will 
        be critical to saving lives, establishing order, and preventing 
        mass panic. The United States has both a responsibility and a 
        critical need to provide them with the equipment, training, and 
        other resources necessary to do their jobs safely and 
        effectively.''.
            (18) The Council further concluded that many State and 
        local emergency responders, including police officers and 
        firefighters, lack the equipment and training needed to respond 
        effectively to a terrorist attack involving weapons of mass 
        destruction.
            (19) Current first responder funding must be increased to 
        help local agencies create counter-terrorism units and assist 
        such agencies to integrate community policing models with 
        counter-terror efforts.
            (20) First responders still do not have adequate spectrum 
        to communicate during an emergency. Congress finally passed 
        legislation forcing the networks to turn over spectrum, but the 
        date was set for February 2008. This is unacceptable, this 
        spectrum should be turned over immediately.
            (21) The Federal Government has a responsibility to ensure 
        that the people of the United States are protected to the 
        greatest possible extent against a terrorist attack, especially 
        an attack that utilizes nuclear, chemical, biological, or 
        radiological weapons, and consequently, the Federal Government 
        has a critical responsibility to address the equipment, 
        training, and other needs of State and local first responders.
            (22) To echo the sentiments of the National Commission on 
        Terrorist Attacks upon the United States, ``it is time that we 
        stop talking about setting priorities and actually set some.''.
            (23) The cost of fully implementing all 41 recommendations 
        put forth by the Commission and the common sense steps to 
        secure the homeland represents less than 1 year of President 
        Bush's tax cuts for millionaires.
            (24) By investing 1 year of the tax cuts for millionaires 
        into a trust fund to be invested over the next 5 years, the 
        Federal Government can implement the Commission's 
        recommendations and make great strides towards making our 
        Nation safer.
            (25) The Americans making more than $1,000,000 understand 
        that our country changed after 9/11, yet they have not been 
        asked to sacrifice for the good of the Nation.
            (26) In this subtitle, we call on the patriotism of such 
        Americans by revoking 1 year of their tax cut and investing the 
        resulting revenues in the security of our neighbors and 
        families.
