To provide for the use of unobligated discretionary stimulus dollars to 
   address AIDS Drug Assistance Program waiting lists and other cost 
          containment measures impacting State ADAP programs.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Addressing Cost Containment Measures 
To Ensure the Sustainability and Success of ADAP Act'' or the ``ACCESS 
ADAP Act''.

SEC. 2. AIDS DRUG ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS.

    (a) Transfer.--There shall be transferred to the Secretary of 
Health and Human Services, $101,000,000 from discretionary amounts 
appropriated under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Public 
Law 111-5) that remain unobligated, to be obligated by the Secretary 
during the 2010 grant period under the AIDS Drug Assistance Program 
(under section 2616 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300ff-
26)) to provide assistance in reducing AIDS Drug Assistance Program 
waiting lists and to address other cost containment measures that State 
AIDS Drug Assistance Programs implement after January 1, 2009. Amounts 
transferred under this section shall be used by States in a manner 
consistent with their State AIDS Drug Assistance Program.
    (b) Allocations.--In allocating funds transferred under subsection 
(a), the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall--
            (1) give special consideration to both the total scope, and 
        the basis, of a State's AIDS Drug Assistance Program needs, 
        including the total number of patients on a waiting list, 
        eligibility requirements, and other cost containment measures 
        implemented by a State's AIDS Drug Assistance Program; and
            (2) ensure that funds shall only be used to provide 
        treatments to individuals who--
                    (A) were eligible to participate in the State AIDS 
                Drug Assistance Program on the date of enactment of 
                this Act; or
                    (B) would have been eligible to participate in the 
                State AIDS Drug Assistance Program but because of the 
                implementation of cost-containment measures after 
                January 1, 2009, were not so eligible.
