                recruiting literature, sales manual, or contracts with 
                participants, including the manner in which the 
                repurchase is to be exercised and disclosure of any 
                inventory not eligible for repurchase under the 
                program;
            (2) the term ``commercially reasonable terms'' means, with

        any;
            (3) the term ``inventory loading'' means a practice in

                the participant can reasonably expect to use, consume, 
                or resell to ultimate users; and
                    (B) is not subject to a bona fide inventory 
                repurchase agreement; and

        consume or use the products or services, whether or not they

        appropriate Federal banking agency believes a specific customer 
        or group of customers is, or is acting as a conduit for, an 
        entity which--
                    (A) poses a threat to national security;
                    (B) is involved in terrorist financing;
                    (C) is an agency of the government of Iran, North

                jurisdiction of, any country specified in subparagraph 
                (C); or
                    (E) does business with any entity described in 
                subparagraph (C) or (D), unless the appropriate Federal 
                banking agency determines that the customer or group of 
                customers has used due diligence to avoid doing 
                business with any entity described in subparagraph (C) 
                or (D),
        such belief shall satisfy the requirement under paragraph (1).

                customers, if any.
            (2) Justification requirement.--A justification described 
        under paragraph (1)(B) may not be based solely on the

            (1) Notice required.--Except as provided under paragraph 
        (2), if an appropriate Federal banking agency orders a 
        depository institution to terminate a specific customer account 
        or a group of customer accounts, the depository institution 
        shall inform the customer or customers of the justification for 
        the customer's account termination described under subsection 
        (b).
            (2) Notice prohibited in cases of national security.--If an 
        appropriate Federal banking agency requests or orders a

        project, or activity, or numbers of personnel by 10 percent as 
        approved by Congress; or
            (3) results from any general savings from a reduction in 
        personnel which would result in a change in existing programs, 
        activities, or projects as approved by Congress;
unless the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives 
and the Senate are consulted 15 days in advance of such reprogramming 
or of an announcement of intent relating to such reprogramming,

                performed--
                            (i) in the case of a pregnancy that is the 
                        result of an act of rape or incest; or
                            (ii) in the case where a woman suffers from 
                        a physical disorder, physical injury, or 
                        physical illness that would, as certified by a 
                        physician, place the woman in danger of death 
                        unless an abortion is performed, including a 
                        life endangering physical condition caused by, 
                        or arising from, the pregnancy itself; and

    Sec. 535.  Of any available amounts appropriated under section

    Sec. 536. (a) This section may be cited as the ``Conscience 
Protection Act of 2017''.
    (b) Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Thomas Jefferson stated a conviction common to our 
        Nation's founders when he declared in 1809 that ``[n]o 
        provision in our Constitution ought to be dearer to man than 
        that which protects the rights of conscience against the 
        enterprises of the civil authority''.
            (2) In 1973, the Supreme Court concluded that the 
        government must leave the abortion decision ``to the medical 
        judgment of the pregnant woman's attending physician'', 
        recognizing that a physician may choose not to participate in 
        abortion. Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113, 164 (1973). The Court 
        cited with approval a policy that ``neither physician, 
        hospital, nor hospital personnel shall be required to perform 
        any act violative of personally-held moral principles'', 410 
        U.S. at 143 n. 38, and cited State laws upholding this 
        principle. Doe v. Bolton, 410 U.S. 179, 197-8 (1973).
            (3) Congress's enactments to protect this right of 
        conscience in health care include the Church amendment of 1973 
        (42 U.S.C. 300a-7), the Coats/Snowe amendment of 1996 (42 
        U.S.C. 238n), and the Weldon amendment approved by Congresses 
        and Presidents of both parties every year since 2004.
            (4) None of these laws explicitly provides a ``private 
        right of action'' so victims of discrimination can defend their 
        conscience rights in court, and administrative enforcement by 
        the Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil 
        Rights has been lax, at times allowing cases to languish for 
        years without resolution.
            (5) Defying the Federal Weldon amendment, California's 
        Department of Managed Health Care has mandated coverage for all 
        elective abortions in all health plans under its jurisdiction. 
        Other States such as New York and Washington have taken or 
        considered similar action, and some States may go farther to 
        require all physicians and hospitals to provide or facilitate 
        abortions. On June 21, 2016, the Obama Administration concluded 
        a nearly two-year investigation of this matter by determining 
        that California's decision to require insurance plans under the 
        California Department for Managed Health Care authority to 
        cover all legal abortion services did not violate the Weldon 
        amendment. Until the new Administration is able to reverse this 
        finding, individuals will have to choose between ignoring their 
        conscience or forgoing health care coverage.
            (6) The vast majority of medical professionals do not 
        perform abortions, with 86 percent of ob/gyns unwilling to 
        provide them in a recent study (Obstetrics & Gynecology, Sept. 
        2011) and the great majority of hospitals choosing to do so in 
        rare cases or not at all.
            (7) A health care provider's decision not to participate in 
        an abortion, like Congress's decision not to fund most 
        abortions, erects no new barrier to those seeking to perform or 
        undergo abortions but leaves each party free to act as he or 
        she wishes.
            (8) Such protection poses no conflict with other Federal 
        laws, such as the law requiring emergency stabilizing treatment 
        for a pregnant woman and her unborn child when either is in 
        distress (Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act). As 
        the previous Administration has said, these areas of law have 
        operated side by side for many years and both should be fully 
        enforced (76 Fed. Reg. 9968-77 (2011) at 9973).
            (9) Reaffirming longstanding Federal policy on conscience 
        rights and providing a right of action in cases where it is 
        violated allows longstanding and widely supported Federal laws 
        to work as intended.
    (c) Title II of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 202 et 
seq.) is amended by inserting after section 245 the following:

``SEC. 245A. PROHIBITING GOVERNMENTAL DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PROVIDERS

        perform abortions, or from enforcing contractual obligations 
        applicable only to those who, as part of such contract,

        abortions;

        imminent health and safety risk to residents:  Provided 
        further, That the Secretary may only provide replacement

    Sec. 214.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in fiscal

is owned or has a mortgage held by the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
Development, and during the process of foreclosure on any property with 
a contract for rental assistance payments under section 8 of the United 
States Housing Act of 1937 or other Federal programs, the Secretary 
shall maintain any rental assistance payments under section 8 of the 
United States Housing Act of 1937 and other programs that are attached

determines, in consultation with the tenants and the local government, 
that such a multifamily property owned or held by the Secretary is not 
feasible for continued rental assistance payments under such section 8 
or other programs, based on consideration of (1) the costs of 
rehabilitating and operating the property and all available Federal, 
State, and local resources, including rent adjustments under section 
524 of the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 
1997 (``MAHRAA'') and (2) environmental conditions that cannot be 
remedied in a cost-effective fashion, the Secretary may, in 
consultation with the tenants of that property, contract for project-
based rental assistance payments with an owner or owners of other 
existing housing properties, or provide other rental assistance. The 
Secretary shall also take appropriate steps to ensure that project-
based contracts remain in effect prior to foreclosure, subject to the 
exercise of contractual abatement remedies to assist relocation of 
tenants for imminent major threats to health and safety after written 
notice to and informed consent of the affected tenants and use of other 
available remedies, such as partial abatements or receivership. After 
disposition of any multifamily property described under this section, 
the contract and allowable rent levels on such properties shall be 
subject to the requirements under section 524 of MAHRAA.
    Sec. 215.  The commitment authority funded by fees as provided 
under the heading ``Community Development Loan Guarantees Program 
Account'' may be used to guarantee, or make commitments to guarantee, 
notes, or other obligations issued by any State on behalf of non-
entitlement communities in the State in accordance with the 
requirements of section 108 of the Housing and Community Development 
Act of 1974:  Provided, That any State receiving such a guarantee or

an agency seeking a discontinuance of a reduction of subsidy under the 
operating fund formula shall not be exempt from asset management 
requirements.
    Sec. 217.  With respect to the use of amounts provided in this Act 
and in future Acts for the operation, capital improvement and 
management of public housing as authorized by sections 9(d) and 9(e) of 
the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(d) and (e)), the 
Secretary shall not impose any requirement or guideline relating to 
asset management that restricts or limits in any way the use of capital 
funds for central office costs pursuant to section 9(g)(1) or 9(g)(2) 
of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(g)(1), (2)):  
Provided, That a public housing agency may not use capital funds 
authorized under section 9(d) for activities that are eligible under 
section 9(e) for assistance with amounts from the operating fund in 
excess of the amounts permitted under section 9(g)(1) or 9(g)(2).
    Sec. 218.  No official or employee of the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development shall be designated as an allotment holder unless the 
Office of the Chief Financial Officer has determined that such 
allotment holder has implemented an adequate system of funds control 
and has received training in funds control procedures and directives. 
The Chief Financial Officer shall ensure that there is a trained 
allotment holder for each HUD sub-office under the accounts ``Executive 
Offices'' and ``Administrative Support Offices,'' as well as each 
account receiving appropriations for ``Program Office Salaries and 
Expenses'', ``Government National Mortgage Association--Guarantees of 
Mortgage-Backed Securities Loan Guarantee Program Account'', and 
``Office of Inspector General'' within the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development.
    Sec. 219.  The Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development shall, for fiscal year 2018, notify the public through the 
Federal Register and other means, as determined appropriate, of the 
issuance of a notice of the availability of assistance or notice of 
funding availability (NOFA) for any program or discretionary fund 
administered by the Secretary that is to be competitively awarded. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for fiscal year 2018, the 
Secretary may make the NOFA available only on the Internet at the 
appropriate Government web site or through other electronic media, as 
determined by the Secretary.
    Sec. 220.  Payment of attorney fees in program-related litigation 
shall be paid from the individual program office and Office of General

submission for the program offices and the Office of General Counsel 
shall include any such projected litigation costs for attorney fees as 
a separate line item request. No funds provided in this title may be 
used to pay any such litigation costs for attorney fees until the

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
    Sec. 221.  The Secretary is authorized to transfer up to 10 percent 
or $4,000,000, whichever is less, of funds appropriated for any office 
under the heading ``Administrative Support Offices'' or for any account 
under the general heading ``Program Office Salaries and Expenses'' to 
any other such office or account:  Provided, That no appropriation for 
any such office or account shall be increased or decreased by more than 
10 percent or $4,000,000, whichever is less, without prior written 
approval of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations:  
Provided further, That the Secretary shall provide notification to such 
Committees three business days in advance of any such transfers under 
this section up to 10 percent or $4,000,000, whichever is less.
    Sec. 222. (a) Any entity receiving housing assistance payments 
shall maintain decent, safe, and sanitary conditions, as determined by

applicable State or local laws, rules, ordinances, or regulations 
relating to the physical condition of any property covered under a 
housing assistance payment contract.
    (b) The Secretary shall take action under subsection (c) when a 
multifamily housing project with a section 8 contract or contract for

Such requirements shall apply to insured and noninsured projects with 
assistance attached to the units under section 8 of the United States 
Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f), but do not apply to such units 
assisted under section 8(o)(13) (42 U.S.C. 1437f(o)(13)) or to public 
housing units assisted with capital or operating funds under section 9 
of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g).
    (c)(1) Within 15 days of the issuance of the REAC inspection, the 
Secretary must provide the owner with a Notice of Default with a 
specified timetable, determined by the Secretary, for correcting all 
deficiencies. The Secretary must also provide a copy of the Notice of 
Default to the tenants, the local government, any mortgagees, and any 
contract administrator. If the owner's appeal results in a UPCS score 
of 60 or above, the Secretary may withdraw the Notice of Default.
    (2) At the end of the time period for correcting all deficiencies 
specified in the Notice of Default, if the owner fails to fully correct 
such deficiencies, the Secretary may--
            (A) require immediate replacement of project management 
        with a management agent approved by the Secretary;
            (B) impose civil money penalties, which shall be used 
        solely for the purpose of supporting safe and sanitary 
        conditions at applicable properties, as designated by the 
        Secretary, with priority given to the tenants of the property 
        affected by the penalty;
            (C) abate the section 8 contract, including partial 
        abatement, as determined by the Secretary, until all 
        deficiencies have been corrected;
            (D) pursue transfer of the project to an owner, approved by

        project deficiencies;
            (H) work with the owner, lender, or other related party to 
        stabilize the property in an attempt to preserve the property 
        through compliance, transfer of ownership, or an infusion of 
        capital provided by a third-party that requires time to 
        effectuate; or
            (I) take any other regulatory or contractual remedies 
        available as deemed necessary and appropriate by the Secretary.
    (d) The Secretary shall also take appropriate steps to ensure that 
project-based contracts remain in effect, subject to the exercise of

major threats to health and safety after written notice to the affected 
tenants. To the extent the Secretary determines, in consultation with 
the tenants and the local government, that the property is not feasible 
for continued rental assistance payments under such section 8 or other 
programs, based on consideration of--
            (1) the costs of rehabilitating and operating the property 
        and all available Federal, State, and local resources, 
        including rent adjustments under section 524 of the Multifamily 
        Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 
        (``MAHRAA''); and
            (2) environmental conditions that cannot be remedied in a 
        cost-effective fashion, the Secretary may contract for project-
        based rental assistance payments with an owner or owners of 
        other existing housing properties, or provide other rental 
        assistance.
    (e) The Secretary shall report quarterly on all properties covered 
by this section that are assessed through the Real Estate Assessment 
Center and have UPCS physical inspection scores of less than 60 or have 
received an unsatisfactory management and occupancy review within the 
past 36 months. The report shall include--
            (1) the enforcement actions being taken to address such 
        conditions, including imposition of civil money penalties and 
        termination of subsidies, and identify properties that have 
        such conditions multiple times;
            (2) actions that the Department of Housing and Urban 
        Development is taking to protect tenants of such identified 
        properties; and

        under a housing assistance payment contract.
