     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) at the outset of the 20th century, the States adopted a 
     separate justice system for juvenile offenders;

[[Page S9239]]

       (2) violent crimes committed by juveniles, such as 
     homicide, rape, and robbery, were an unknown phenomenon then, 
     but the rate at which juveniles commit such crimes has 
     escalated astronomically since that time;
       (3) in 1994--
       (A) the number of persons arrested overall for murder in 
     the United States decreased by 5.8 percent, but the number of 
     persons who are less than 15 years of age arrested for murder 
     increased by 4 percent; and
       (B) the number of persons arrested for all violent crimes 
     increased by 1.3 percent, but the number of persons who are 
     less than 15 years of age arrested for violent crimes 
     increased by 9.2 percent, and the number of persons less than 
     18 years of age arrested for such crimes increased by 6.5 
     percent;
       (4) from 1985 to 1996, the number of persons arrested for 
     all violent crimes increased by 52.3 percent, but the number 
     of persons under age 18 arrested for violent crimes rose by 
     75 percent;
       (5) the number of juvenile offenders is expected to undergo 
     a massive increase during the first 2 decades of the twenty-
     first century, culminating in an unprecedented number of 
     violent offenders who are less than 18 years of age;
       (6) the rehabilitative model of sentencing for juveniles, 
     which Congress rejected for adult offenders when Congress 
     enacted the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, is inadequate and 
     inappropriate for dealing with many violent and repeat 
     juvenile offenders;
       (7) the Federal Government should encourage the States to 
     experiment with progressive solutions to the escalating 
     problem of juveniles who commit violent crimes and who are 
     repeat offenders, including prosecuting such offenders as 
     adults, but should not impose specific strategies or programs 
     on the States;
       (8) an effective strategy for reducing violent juvenile 
     crime requires greater collection of investigative data and 
     other information, such as fingerprints and DNA evidence, as 
     well as greater sharing of such information--
       (A) among Federal, State, and local agencies, including the 
     courts; and
       (B) among the law enforcement, educational, and social 
     service systems;
       (9) data regarding violent juvenile offenders should be 
     made available to the adult criminal justice system if 
     recidivism by criminals is to be addressed adequately;
       (10) holding juvenile proceedings in secret denies victims 
     of crime the opportunity to attend and be heard at such 
     proceedings, helps juvenile offenders to avoid accountability 
     for their actions, and shields juvenile proceedings from 
     public scrutiny and accountability;
       (11) the injuries and losses suffered by the victims of 
     violent crime are no less painful or devastating because the 
     offender is a juvenile; and
       (12) the prevention, investigation, prosecution, 
     adjudication, and punishment of criminal offenses committed 
     by juveniles, and the rehabilitation and correction of 
     juvenile offenders are, and should remain, primarily the 
     responsibility of the States, to be carried out without 
     interference from the Federal Government.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
       (1) to reform Federal juvenile justice programs and 
     policies in order to promote the emergence of juvenile 
     justice systems in which the paramount concerns are providing 
     for the safety of the public and holding juvenile wrongdoers 
     accountable for their actions, while providing the wrongdoer 
     a genuine opportunity for self-reform;
       (2) to revise the procedures in Federal court that are 
     applicable to the prosecution of juvenile offenders; and
       (3) to encourage and promote, consistent with the ideals of 
     federalism, adoption of policies by the States to ensure that 
     the victims of violent crimes committed by juveniles receive 
     the same level of justice as do victims of violent crimes 
     that are committed by adults.

     SEC. 3. SEVERABILITY.

     Act, or the application of such provision or amendment to any

     (or an act of delinquency that would be an offense were it 
     committed by an adult) punishable in any court of the United 
     States or of the District of Columbia, the United States 
     Attorney for the district in which such person has been 
     arrested may forego prosecution pursuant to section 
     5032(a)(2) if, after investigation by the United States 
     Attorney, it appears that--
       ``(1) such person has committed an act that is also an 
     offense or an act of delinquency under the law of any State 
     or the District of Columbia;
       ``(2) such State or the District of Columbia, as 
     applicable, can and will assume jurisdiction over such 
     juvenile and will take such juvenile into custody and deal 
     with the juvenile in accordance with the law of such State or 
     the District of Columbia, as applicable; and
       ``(3) it is in the best interests of the United States and 
     of the juvenile offender.''.

  TITLE III--JUVENILE CRIME CONTROL, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND DELINQUENCY 
                               PREVENTION
 Subtitle A--Reform of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention 
                              Act of 1974

     SEC. 301. FINDINGS; DECLARATION OF PURPOSE; DEFINITIONS.

       Title I of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention 
     Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5601 et seq.) is amended to read as 
     follows:
             ``TITLE I--FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF PURPOSE

     ``SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

       ``Congress makes the following findings:
       ``(1) During the past decade, the United States has 
     experienced an alarming increase in arrests of adolescents 
     for murder, assault, and weapons offenses.
       ``(2) In 1994, juveniles accounted for 1 in 5 arrests for 
     violent crimes, including murder, robbery, aggravated 
     assault, and rape, including 514 such arrests per 100,000 
     juveniles 10 through 17 years of age.
       ``(3) Understaffed and overcrowded juvenile courts, 
     prosecutorial and public defender offices, probation 
     services, and correctional facilities no longer adequately 
     address the changing nature of juvenile crime, protect the 
     public, or correct youth offenders.
       ``(4) The juvenile justice system has proven inadequate to 
     meet the needs of society and the needs of children who may 
     be at risk of becoming delinquents are not being met.
       ``(5) Existing programs and policies have not adequately 
     responded to the particular threats that drugs, alcohol 
     abuse, violence, and gangs pose to the youth of the Nation.
       ``(6) Projected demographic increases in the number of 
     youth offenders require reexamination of current prosecution 
     and incarceration policies for serious violent youth 
     offenders and crime prevention policies.
       ``(7) State and local communities require assistance to 
     deal comprehensively with the problems of juvenile 
     delinquency.
       ``(8) Existing Federal programs have not provided the 
     States with necessary flexibility, nor have these programs 
     provided the coordination, resources, and leadership required 
     to meet the crisis of youth violence.
       ``(9) Overlapping and uncoordinated Federal programs have 
     created a multitude of Federal funding streams to States and 
     units of local government, that have become a barrier to 
     effective program coordination, responsive public safety 
     initiatives, and the provision of comprehensive services for 
     children and youth.
       ``(10) Violent crime by juveniles constitutes a growing 
     threat to the national welfare that requires an immediate and 
     comprehensive governmental response, combining flexibility 
     and coordinated evaluation.
       ``(11) The role of the Federal Government should be to 
     encourage and empower communities to develop and implement 
     policies to protect adequately the public from serious 
     juvenile crime as well as implement quality prevention 
     programs that work with at-risk juveniles, their families, 
     local public agencies, and community-based organizations.
       ``(12) A strong partnership among law enforcement, local 
     government, juvenile and family courts, schools, public 
     recreation agencies, businesses, philanthropic organizations, 
     families, and the religious community, can create a community 
     environment that supports the youth of the Nation in reaching 
     their highest potential and reduces the destructive trend of 
     juvenile crime.

     ``SEC. 102. PURPOSE AND STATEMENT OF POLICY.

       ``(a) In General.--The purposes of this Act are to--

     do the victims of violent crimes committed by adults;

     all federally funded programs addressing juvenile crime and 
     delinquency;

     clearinghouse congressionally mandated under the provisions 
     of the Missing Children's Assistance Act of 1984; and
       ``(B) worked in partnership with the Department of Justice, 
     the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of the

     the effort to find missing children and prevent child 
     victimization;

     Child Pornography Tipline, in conjunction with the United 
     States Customs Service and the United States Postal 
     Inspection Service and, beginning this year, the Center 
     established a new CyberTipline on child exploitation, thus 
     becoming `the 911 for the Internet';
       ``(12) in light of statistics that time is of the essence 
     in cases of child abduction, the Director of the Federal 
     Bureau of Investigation in February of 1997 created a new 
     NCIC child abduction (`CA') flag to provide the Center 
     immediate notification in the most serious cases, resulting 
     in 642 `CA' notifications to the Center and helping the 
     Center to have its highest recovery rate in history;

     increasingly worldwide network, linking the Center online 
     with each of the missing children clearinghouses operated by 
     the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, as 
     well as with Scotland Yard in the United Kingdom, the Royal 
     Canadian Mounted Police, INTERPOL headquarters in Lyon, 
     France, and others, which has enabled the Center to transmit 
     images and information regarding missing children to law 
     enforcement across the United States and around the world

     missing children, resulting in the recovery of 40,180 
     children;
       ``(15) the demand for the services of the Center is growing 
     dramatically, as evidenced by the fact that in 1997, the 
     Center handled 129,100 calls, an all-time record, and by the 
     fact that its new Internet website (www.missingkids.com) 
     receives 1,500,000 `hits' every day, and is linked with 
     hundreds of other websites to provide real-time images of 
     breaking cases of missing children;

     police chiefs and sheriffs from 50 States and Guam at its new 
     Jimmy Ryce Law Enforcement Training Center;

     impact, such as in the fight against infant abductions in 
     partnership with the healthcare industry, during which the 
     Center has performed 668 onsite hospital walk-throughs and 
     inspections, and trained 45,065 hospital administrators, 
     nurses, and security personnel, and thereby helped to reduce 
     infant abductions in the United States by 82 percent;

     international child abduction cases, serving as a 
     representative of the Department of State at cases under The 
     Hague Convention, and successfully resolving the cases of 343 
     international child abductions, and providing greater support 
     to parents in the United States;
       ``(19) the Center is a model of public/private partnership, 
     raising private sector funds to match congressional 
     appropriations and receiving extensive private in-kind 
     support, including advanced technology provided by the 
     computer industry such as imaging technology used to age the 
     photographs of long-term missing children and to reconstruct 
     facial images of unidentified deceased children;
       ``(20) the Center was 1 of only 10 of 300 major national 
     charities given an A+ grade in 1997 by the American Institute 
     of Philanthropy; and

     missing children clearinghouse and resource center once every 
     3 years through a competitive selection process conducted by 
     the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention of 
     the Department of Justice, and has received grants from that 
     Office to conduct the crucial purposes of the Center.''.

     supplant) the level of the State, local, and other non-
     Federal funds that would in the absence of such Federal funds 
     be made available for programs described in this section, and 
     shall in no event replace such State, local, or other non-

     Administrator may award a renewal grant to grant recipient 
     under this subparagraph for each fiscal year following the 
     fiscal year for which an initial grant is awarded, in an 
     amount not to exceed the amount of non-Federal funds raised 
     by the coalition, including in-kind contributions, for that

     SEC. 344. STATE AND LOCAL PARENTING SUPPORT AND EDUCATION 
                   GRANT PROGRAM.

       (a) State Allotments.--The Secretary shall make allotments 
     to eligible States to support parenting support and training 
     programs. Each State shall receive an amount that bears the 
     same relationship to the amount appropriated as the total 
     number of children in the State bears to the total number of 
     children in all States, but no State shall receive less than 
     one-half of one percent of the state allocation. From the 
     amounts provided to each State with Indian or Alaska Native 
     populations exceeding two percent of its total statewide 
     population, the Governor shall set aside two percent for 
     Indian tribes as that term is defined in section 4(e) of the 
     Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (P.L. 
     93-638, as amended; 25 U.S.C. 450b(e)) which shall be 
     distributed based on the percentage of Indian children in 
     each tribe except that with respect to Alaska, the funds 
     shall be distributed to the nonprofit entities described in 
     section 419(4)(B) of the Social Security Act pursuant to 
     section 103 of Public Law 104-193 (110 Stat. 2159, 2160; 42 
     U.S.C. 619(4)(B)) which shall be allocated based on the 
     percentage of Alaska Native children in each region.
       (b) State Parenting Support and Education Council.--To be 
     eligible to receive Federal funding, the Governor of each 
     State shall appoint a State Parenting Support and Education 
     Council (hereinafter referred to as the ``Council'') which 
     shall include parent representatives, representatives of the 
     State government, bipartisan representation from the State 
     legislature, representatives from local communities, and 
     interested children's organizations, except that the Governor 
     may designate an existing entity that includes such groups. 
     The Council shall conduct a needs and resources assessment of 
     parenting support and education programs in the State to 
     determine where programs are lacking or inadequate and 
     identify what additional programs are needed and which 
     programs require additional resources. It shall consider the 
     findings and recommendations of the Parenting Commission in 
     making those determinations. Upon completion of the 
     assessment, the Council may consider grant applications from 
     the State to provide statewide programs, from local 
     communities including schools, and from nonprofit service 
     providers including faith based organizations.

     early childhood education;
       (E) parenting education programs including training with 
     respect to the best parenting practices identified in 
     subsection (c).
       (2) Parenting support for adolescents and youth including 
     funds for services and support for parents and other 
     caregivers of young people being served by a range of 
     education, social service, mental health, health, runaway and 
     homeless youth programs. Programs may include the Boys and 
     Girls Club, YMCA and YWCA, after school programs, 4-H 
     programs, or other community based organizations. Eligible 
     activities may include parent-caregiver support groups, peer 
     support groups, parent education classes, seminars or 
     discussion groups on problems facing adolescents, advocates 
     and mentors to help parents understand and work with schools,

     hour a day consultation and advice including referral to 
     local community based services;
       (C) respite care for parents with children with special 
     needs, single mothers, and at-risk youth.

     this section shall submit a report every 2 years to the 
     Council describing the program it has developed, the number 
     of parents and children served, and the success of the 
     program using specific performance measures.
       (e) Administrative Costs.--Not more than 5 percent of the 
     amounts received by a State may be used to pay for the 
     administrative expenses of the Council in implementing the 
     grant program.
       (f) Supplement not Supplant.--Funds appropriated pursuant 
     to this section shall be used to supplement and not supplant 
     other Federal, State, and local public funds expended for 
     parenting support and education programs.
       (g) Authorization of Funds.--There is authorized to be 
     appropriated such sums as are necessary for fiscal year 2000 
     and subsequent fiscal years.

     SEC. 345. GRANTS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM OF VIOLENCE RELATED 
                   STRESS TO PARENTS AND CHILDREN.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that a child's brain is 
     wired between the ages of 0-3. A child's ability to learn, 
     develop healthy family and social relationships, resist peer 
     pressure, and control violent impulses depends on the quality 
     and quantity of brain stimulation he receives. Research shows 
     that children exposed to negative brain stimulation in the 
     form of physical and sexual abuse and violence in the family 
     or community causes the brain to be miswired making it 
     difficult for the child to be successful in life. 
     Intervention early in a child's life to correct the miswiring 
     is much more successful than adult rehabilitation efforts.
       (b) In General.--The Secretary shall award grants, enter 
     into contracts or cooperative agreements to public and 
     nonprofit private entities, as well as to Indian tribes, 
     Native Hawaiians, and Alaska Native nonprofit corporations to 
     establish national and regional centers of excellence on 
     psychological trauma response and to identify the best 
     practices for treating psychiatric and behavioral disorders 
     resulting from children witnessing or experiencing such 
     stress.
       (c) Priorities.--In awarding grants, contracts or 
     cooperative agreements under subsection (a) related to the 
     identifying best practices for treating disorders associated 
     with psychological trauma, the Secretary shall give priority 
     to programs that work with children, adolescents, adults, and 
     families who are survivors and witnesses of child abuse, 
     domestic, school, and community violence, and disasters.
       (d) Geographical Distribution.--The Secretary shall ensure 
     that grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements under 
     subsection (a) with respect to centers of excellence are 
     distributed equitably among the regions of the country and 
     among urban and rural areas.
       (e) Evaluation.--The Secretary shall require that each 
     applicant for a grant, contract or cooperative agreement 
     under subsection (a) submit a plan as part of his application 
     for the rigorous evaluation of the activities funded under 
     the grant, contract or agreement, including both process and 
     outcomes evaluation, and the submission of an evaluation at 
     the end of the project period.
       (f) Duration of Awards.--With respect to a grant, contract 
     or cooperative agreement under this section, the period 
     during which payments under such an award will be made to the 
     recipient may not be less than 3 years. Such grants, contract 
     or agreement may be renewed.
       (g) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
     enactment of this section, the General Accounting Office 
     shall prepare and submit to the Committee on Health, 
     Education, Labor, and Pensions of the Senate and the 
     Committee on Commerce of the House of Representatives a

     TITLE IV--VOLUNTARY MEDIA AGREEMENTS FOR CHILDREN'S PROTECTION
                   Subtitle A--Children and the Media

     SEC. 401. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Children's Protection 
     Act of 1999''.

     SEC. 402. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Television is seen and heard in nearly every United 
     States home and is a uniquely pervasive presence in the daily 
     lives of Americans. The average American home has 2.5 
     televisions, and a television is turned on in the average 
     American home 7 hours every day.
       (2) Television plays a particularly significant role in the 
     lives of children. Figures provided by Nielsen Research show 
     that children between the ages of 2 years and 11 years spend 
     an average of 21 hours in front of a television each week.
       (3) Television has an enormous capability to influence 
     perceptions, especially those of children, of the values and 
     behaviors that are common and acceptable in society.
       (4) The influence of television is so great that its images 
     and messages often can be harmful to the development of 
     children. Social science research amply documents a strong 
     correlation between the exposure of children to televised 
     violence and a number of behavioral and psychological 
     problems.
       (5) Hundreds of studies have proven conclusively that 
     children who are consistently exposed to violence on 
     television have a higher tendency to exhibit violent and 
     aggressive behavior, both as children and later in life.
       (6) Such studies also show that repeated exposure to 
     violent programming causes children to become desensitized to 
     and more accepting of real-life violence and to grow more 
     fearful and less trusting of their surroundings.
       (7) A growing body of social science research indicates 
     that sexual content on television can also have a significant 
     influence on the attitudes and behaviors of young viewers. 
     This research suggests that heavy exposure to programming 
     with strong sexual content contributes to the early 
     commencement of sexual activity among teenagers.
       (8) Members of the National Association of Broadcasters 
     (NAB) adhered for many years to a comprehensive code of 
     conduct that was based on an understanding of the influence 
     exerted by television and on a widely held sense of 
     responsibility for using that influence carefully.
       (9) This code of conduct, the Television Code of the 
     National Association of Broadcasters, articulated this sense 
     of responsibility as follows:
       (A) ``In selecting program subjects and themes, great care 
     must be exercised to be sure that the treatment and 
     presentation are made in good faith and not for the purpose 
     of sensationalism or to shock or exploit the audience or 
     appeal to prurient interests or morbid curiosity.''.
       (B) ``Broadcasters have a special responsibility toward 
     children. Programs designed primarily for children should 
     take into account the range of interests and needs of 
     children, from instructional and cultural material to a wide 
     variety of entertainment material. In their totality, 
     programs should contribute to the sound, balanced development 
     of children to help them achieve a sense of the world at 
     large and informed adjustments to their society.''.
       (C) ``Violence, physical, or psychological, may only be 
     projected in responsibly handled contexts, not used 
     exploitatively. Programs involving violence present the 
     consequences of it to its victims and perpetrators. 
     Presentation of the details of violence should avoid the 
     excessive, the gratuitous and the instructional.''.
       (D) ``The presentation of marriage, family, and similarly 
     important human relationships, and material with sexual 
     connotations, shall not be treated exploitatively or 
     irresponsibly, but with sensitivity.''.
       (E) ``Above and beyond the requirements of the law, 
     broadcasters must consider the family atmosphere in which 
     many of their programs are viewed. There shall be no graphic 
     portrayal of sexual acts by sight or sound. The portrayal of 
     implied sexual acts must be essential to the plot and 
     presented in a responsible and tasteful manner.''.
       (10) The National Association of Broadcasters abandoned the 
     code of conduct in 1983 after three provisions of the code 
     restricting the sale of advertising were challenged by the 
     Department of Justice on antitrust grounds and a Federal 
     district court issued a summary judgment against the National 
     Association of Broadcasters regarding one of the provisions 
     on those grounds. However, none of the programming standards 
     of the code were challenged.
       (11) While the code of conduct was in effect, its 
     programming standards were never found to have violated any 
     antitrust law.
       (12) Since the National Association of Broadcasters 
     abandoned the code of conduct, programming standards on 
     broadcast and cable television have deteriorated 
     dramatically.
       (13) In the absence of effective programming standards, 
     public concern about the impact of television on children, 
     and on society as a whole, has risen substantially. Polls 
     routinely show that more than 80 percent of Americans are 
     worried by the increasingly graphic nature of sex, violence, 
     and vulgarity on television and by the amount of programming 
     that openly sanctions or glorifies criminal, antisocial, and 
     degrading behavior.
       (14) At the urging of Congress, the television industry has 
     taken some steps to respond to public concerns about 
     programming standards and content. The broadcast television 
     industry agreed in 1992 to adopt a set of voluntary 
     guidelines designed to ``proscribe gratuitous or excessive 
     portrayals of violence''. Shortly thereafter, both the 
     broadcast and cable television industries agreed to conduct 
     independent studies of the violent content in their 
     programming and make those reports public.
       (15) In 1996, the television industry as a whole made a 
     commitment to develop a comprehensive rating system to label 
     programming that may be harmful or inappropriate for 
     children. That system was implemented at the beginning of 
     1999.
       (16) Despite these efforts to respond to public concern 
     about the impact of television on children, millions of 
     Americans, especially parents with young children, remain 
     angry and frustrated at the sinking standards of television 
     programming, the reluctance of the industry to police itself, 
     and the harmful influence of television on the well-being of 
     the children and the values of the United States.
       (17) The Department of Justice issued a ruling in 1993 
     indicating that additional efforts by the television industry 
     to develop and implement voluntary programming guidelines 
     would not violate the antitrust laws. The ruling states that 
     ``such activities may be likened to traditional standard 
     setting efforts that do not necessarily restrain competition 
     and may have significant procompetitive benefits . . . . Such 
     guidelines could serve to disseminate valuable information on 
     program content to both advertisers and television viewers. 
     Accurate information can enhance the demand for, and increase 
     the output of, an industry's products or services.''.
       (18) The Children's Television Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-
     437) states that television broadcasters in the United States 
     have a clear obligation to meet the educational and 
     informational needs of children.
       (19) Several independent analyses have demonstrated that 
     the television broadcasters in the

[[Page S9270]]

     United States have not fulfilled their obligations under the 
     Children's Television Act of 1990 and have not noticeably 
     expanded the amount of educational and informational 
     programming directed at young viewers since the enactment of 
     that Act.
       (20) The popularity of video and personal computer (PC) 
     games is growing steadily among children. Although most 
     popular video and personal computer games are educational or 
     harmless in nature, many of the most popular are extremely 
     violent. One recent study by Strategic Record Research found 
     that 64 percent of teenagers played video or personal 
     computer games on a regular basis. Other surveys of children 
     as young as elementary school age found that almost half of 
     them list violent computer games among their favorites.
       (21) Violent video games often present violence in a 
     glamorized light. Game players are often cast in the role of 
     shooter, with points scored for each ``kill''. Similarly, 
     advertising for such games often touts violent content as a 
     selling point--the more graphic and extreme, the better.
       (22) As the popularity and graphic nature of such video 
     games grows, so do their potential to negatively influence 
     impressionable children.
       (23) Music is another extremely pervasive and popular form 
     of entertainment. American children and teenagers listen to 
     music more than any other demographic group. The Journal of 
     American Medicine reported that between the 7th and 12th 
     grades the average teenager listens to 10,500 hours of rock 
     or rap music, just slightly less than the entire number of 
     hours spent in the classroom from kindergarten through high 
     school.
       (24) Teens are among the heaviest purchasers of music, and 
     are most likely to favor music genres that depict, and often 
     appear to glamorize violence.
       (25) Music has a powerful ability to influence perceptions, 
     attitudes, and emotional state. The use of music as therapy 
     indicates its potential to increase emotional, psychological. 
     and physical health. That influence can be used for ill as 
     well.

               TITLE VIII--EFFECTIVE GUN LAW ENFORCEMENT
             Subtitle A--Criminal Use of Firearms by Felons

     SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be referred to as the ``Criminal Use of 
     Firearms by Felons (CUFF) Act''.

     SEC. 802. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) Tragedies such as those occurring recently in the 
     communities of Pearl, Mississippi, Paducah, Kentucky, 
     Jonesboro, Arkansas, Springfield, Oregon, and Littleton, 
     Colorado are terrible reminders of the vulnerability of 
     innocent individuals to random and senseless acts of criminal 
     violence.
       (2) The United States Congress has responded to the problem 
     of gun violence by passing numerous criminal statutes and by 
     supporting the development of law enforcement programs 
     designed both to punish the criminal misuse of weapons and 
     also to deter individuals from undertaking illegal acts.
       (3) In 1988, the Administration initiated an innovative 
     program known as Project Achilles. The concept behind the 
     initiative was that the illegal possession of firearms was 
     the Achilles heel or the area of greatest vulnerability of 
     criminals. By aggressively prosecuting criminals with guns in 
     Federal court, the offenders were subject to stiffer 
     penalties and expedited prosecutions. The Achilles program 
     was particularly effective in removing the most violent 
     criminals from our communities.
       (4) In 1991, the Administration expanded its efforts to 
     remove criminals with guns from our streets with Project 
     Triggerlock. Triggerlock continued the ideas formulated in 
     the Achilles program and committed the Department of Justice 
     resources to the prosecution effort. Under the program, every 
     United States Attorney was directed to form special teams of 
     Federal, State, and local investigators to look for gang and 
     drug cases that could be prosecuted as Federal weapon 
     violations. Congress appropriated additional funds to allow a 
     large number of new law enforcement officers and Federal 
     prosecutors to target these gun and drug offenders. In 1992, 
     approximately 7048 defendants were prosecuted under this 
     initiative.
       (5) Since 1993, the number of ``Project Triggerlock'' type 
     gun prosecutions pursued by the Department of Justice has 
     fallen to approximately 3807 prosecutions in 1998. This is a 
     decline of over 40 percent in Federal prosecutions of 
     criminals with guns.
       (6) The threat of criminal prosecution in the Federal 
     criminal justice system works to deter criminal behavior 
     because the Federal system is known for speedier trials and 
     longer prison sentences.
       (7) The deterrent effect of Federal gun prosecutions has 
     been demonstrated recently by successful programs, such as 
     ``Project Exile'' in

[[Page S9274]]

     Richmond, Virginia, which resulted in a 22 percent decrease 
     in violent crime since 1994.
       (8) The Department of Justice's failure to prosecute the 
     criminal use of guns under existing Federal law undermines 
     the significant deterrent effect that these laws are meant to 
     produce.
       (9) The Department of Justice already possesses a vast 
     array of Federal criminal statutes that, if used aggressively 
     to prosecute wrongdoers, would significantly reduce both the 
     threat of, and the incidence of, criminal gun violence.
       (10) As an example, the Department of Justice has the 
     statutory authority in section 922(q) of title 18, United 
     States Code, to prosecute individuals who bring guns to 
     school zones. Although the Administration stated that over 
     6,000 students were expelled last year for bringing guns to 
     school, the Justice Department reports prosecuting only 8 
     cases under section 922(q) in 1998.
       (11) The Department of Justice is also empowered under 
     section 922(x) of title 18, United States Code, to prosecute 
     adults who transfer handguns to juveniles. In 1998, the 
     Department of Justice reports having prosecuted only 6 
     individuals under this provision.
       (12) The Department of Justice's utilization of existing 
     prosecutorial power is 1 of the most significant steps that 
     can be taken to reduce the number of criminal acts involving 
     guns, and represents a better response to the problem of 
     criminal violence than the enactment of new, symbolic laws, 
     which, if current Departmental trends hold, would likely be 
     underutilized.

       It is the sense of the Senate that States receiving Federal

     employees (regardless of when hired) and prospective 
     employees, a nationwide background check for the purpose of 
     determining whether the employee has been convicted of a 
     crime that bears upon his fitness to have responsibility for 
     the safety or well-being of children, to serve in the 
     particular capacity in which he is (or is to be) employed, or 
     otherwise to be employed at all thereby.

     SEC. 1201. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Teacher Liability 
     Protection Act of 1999''.

     SEC. 1202. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The ability of teachers, principals and other school 
     professionals to teach, inspire and shape the intellect of 
     our Nation's elementary and secondary school students is 
     deterred and hindered by frivolous lawsuits and litigation.
       (2) Each year more and more teachers, principals and other 
     school professionals face lawsuits for actions undertaken as 
     part of their duties to provide millions of school children 
     quality educational opportunities.
       (3) Too many teachers, principals and other school 
     professionals face increasingly severe and random acts of 
     violence in the classroom and in schools.
       (4) Providing teachers, principals and other school 
     professionals a safe and secure environment is an important 
     part of the effort to improve and expand educational 
     opportunities.
       (5) Clarifying and limiting the liability of teachers, 
     principals and other school professionals who undertake 
     reasonable actions to maintain order, discipline and an 
     appropriate educational environment is an appropriate subject 
     of Federal legislation because--
       (A) the national scope of the problems created by the 
     legitimate fears of teachers, principals and other school 
     professionals about frivolous, arbitrary or capricious 
     lawsuits against teachers; and
       (B) millions of children and their families across the 
     Nation depend on teachers, principals and other school 
     professionals for the intellectual development of the 
     children.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to provide 
     teachers, principals and other school professionals the tools 
     they need to undertake reasonable actions to maintain order, 
     discipline and an appropriate educational environment.

     SEC. 1203. PREEMPTION AND ELECTION OF STATE NONAPPLICABILITY.

       (a) Preemption.--This title preempts the laws of any State

     that provides additional protection from liability relating 
     to teachers.
       (b) Election of State Regarding Nonapplicability.--This 
     title shall not apply to any civil action in a State court 
     against a teacher in which all parties are citizens of the 
     State if such State enacts a statute in accordance with State 
     requirements for enacting legislation--
       (1) citing the authority of this subsection;
       (2) declaring the election of such State that this title 
     shall not apply, as of a date certain, to such civil action 
     in the State; and
       (3) containing no other provisions.

     SEC. 1204. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY FOR TEACHERS.

       (a) Liability Protection for Teachers.--Except as provided 
     in subsections (b) and (d), no teacher in a school shall be

     teacher's employment or responsibilities related to providing 
     educational services;
       (2) the actions of the teacher were carried out in 
     conformity with local, state, or federal laws, rules or 
     regulations in furtherance of efforts to control, discipline, 
     expel, or suspend a student or maintain order or control in 
     the classroom or school;
       (3) if appropriate or required, the teacher was properly 
     licensed, certified, or authorized by the appropriate 
     authorities for the activities or practice in the State in 
     which the harm occurred, where the activities were or 
     practice was undertaken within the scope of the teacher's 
     responsibilities;
       (4) the harm was not caused by willful or criminal 
     misconduct, gross negligence, reckless misconduct, or a 
     conscious, flagrant indifference to the rights or safety of 
     the individual harmed by the teacher; and
       (5) the harm was not caused by the teacher operating a 
     motor vehicle, vessel, aircraft, or other vehicle for which 
     the State requires the operator or the owner of the vehicle, 
     craft, or vessel to--
       (A) possess an operator's license; or
       (B) maintain insurance.
       (b) Concerning Responsibility of Teachers to Schools and

     respect to harm caused to any person.
       (d) Exceptions to Teacher Liability Protection.--If the 
     laws of a State limit teacher liability subject to one or 
     more of the following conditions, such conditions shall not 
     be construed as inconsistent with this section:
       (1) A State law that requires a school or governmental 
     entity to adhere to risk management procedures, including 
     mandatory training of teachers.
       (2) A State law that makes the school or governmental 
     entity liable for the acts or omissions of its teachers to 
     the same extent as an employer is liable for the acts or 
     omissions of its employees.
       (3) A State law that makes a limitation of liability 
     inapplicable if the civil action was brought by an officer of 
     a State or local government pursuant to State or local law.
       (e) Limitation on Punitive Damages Based on the Actions of 
     Teachers.--
       (1) General rule.--Punitive damages may not be awarded 
     against a teacher in an action brought for harm based on the 
     action of a teacher acting within the scope of the teacher's 
     responsibilities to a school or governmental entity unless 
     the claimant establishes by clear and convincing evidence 
     that the harm was proximately caused by an action of such 
     teacher which constitutes willful or criminal misconduct, or 
     a conscious, flagrant indifference to the rights or safety of 
     the individual harmed.
       (2) Construction.--Paragraph (1) does not create a cause of 
     action for punitive damages and does not preempt or supersede

 TITLE XIII--VIOLENCE PREVENTION TRAINING FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS

     SEC. 1301. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Violence Prevention 
     Training for Early Childhood Educators Act''.

     SEC. 1302. PURPOSE.

       The purpose of this title is to provide grants to 
     institutions that carry out early childhood education 
     training programs to enable the institutions to include 
     violence prevention training as part of the preparation of 
     individuals pursuing careers in early childhood development 
     and education.

     SEC. 1303. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Aggressive behavior in early childhood is the single 
     best predictor of aggression in later life.
       (2) Aggressive and defiant behavior predictive of later 
     delinquency is increasing among our Nation's youngest 
     children. Without prevention efforts, higher percentages of 
     juveniles are likely to become violent juvenile offenders.
       (3) Research has demonstrated that aggression is primarily 
     a learned behavior that develops through observation, 
     imitation, and direct experience. Therefore, children who 
     experience violence as victims or as witnesses are at 
     increased risk of becoming violent themselves.
       (4) In a study at a Boston city hospital, 1 out of every 10 
     children seen in the primary care clinic had witnessed a 
     shooting or a stabbing before the age of 6, with 50 percent 
     of the children witnessing in the home and 50 percent of the 
     children witnessing in the streets.
       (5) A study in New York found that children who had been 
     victims of violence within their families were 24 percent 
     more likely to report violent behavior as adolescents, and 
     adolescents who had grown up in families where partner 
     violence occurred were 21 percent more likely to report 
     violent delinquency than individuals not exposed to violence.
       (6) Aggression can become well-learned and difficult to 
     change by the time a child reaches adolescence. Early 
     childhood offers a critical period for overcoming risk for 
     violent behavior and providing support for prosocial 
     behavior.
       (7) Violence prevention programs for very young children 
     yield economic benefits. By providing health and stability to 
     the individual child and the child's family, the programs may 
     reduce expenditures for medical care, special education, and 
     involvement with the judicial system.
       (8) Primary prevention can be effective. When preschool 
     teachers teach young children interpersonal problem-solving 
     skills and other forms of conflict resolution, children are 
     less likely to demonstrate problem behaviors.
       (9) There is evidence that family support programs in 
     families with children from birth through 5 years of age are 
     effective in preventing delinquency.

     a certificate for working with young children (such as a 
     Child Development Associate's degree or an equivalent 
     credential), or, in the case of an individual with such a 
     degree, certificate, or credential, provides professional 
     development.

       (D) the extent to which sentencing enhancements within the 
     Federal sentencing guidelines and the court's authority to 
     impose a sentence in excess of the applicable guideline range 
     are adequate to ensure punishment at or near the maximum 
     penalty for the most egregious conduct covered by the 
     offense;
       (E) the extent to which Federal sentencing guideline 
     sentences for the offense have been constrained by statutory

     the offense adequately achieve the purposes of sentencing as 
     set forth in section 3553(a)(2) of title 18, United States 
     Code;
       (G) the relationship of Federal sentencing guidelines for 
     the offense to the Federal sentencing guidelines for other 
     offenses of comparable seriousness; and
       (H) any other factors that the Commission considers to be 
     appropriate.

     SEC. 1628. LOCAL ENFORCEMENT OF LOCAL ALCOHOL PROHIBITIONS 
                   THAT REDUCE JUVENILE CRIME IN REMOTE ALASKA 
                   VILLAGES.

       (a) Congressional Findings.--The Congress finds the 
     following:
       (1) Villages in remote areas of Alaska lack local law 
     enforcement due to the absence of a tax base to support such 
     services and to small populations that do not secure 
     sufficient funds under existing State and Federal grant 
     program formulas.
       (2) State troopers are often unable to respond to reports 
     of violence in remote villages if there is inclement weather, 
     and often only respond in reported felony cases.
       (3) Studies conclude that alcohol consumption is strongly 
     linked to the commission of violent crimes in remote Alaska 
     villages and that youth are particularly susceptible to 
     developing chronic criminal behaviors associated with alcohol 
     in the absence of early intervention.
       (4) Many remote villages have sought to limit the 
     introduction of alcohol into their communities as a means of 
     early intervention and to reduce criminal conduct among 
     juveniles.
       (5) In many remote villages, there is no person with the 
     authority to enforce these local alcohol restrictions in a 
     manner consistent with judicical standards of due process 
     required under the State and Federal constitutions.
       (6) Remote Alaska villages are experiencing a marked 
     increase in births and the number of juveniles residing in 
     villages is expected to increase dramatically in the next 5 
     years.
       (7) Adoption of alcohol prohibitions by voters in remote 
     villages represents a community-based effort to reduce 
     juvenile crime, but this local policy choice requires local 
     law enforcement to be effective.
       (b) Grant of Federal Funds.--(1) The Attorney General is 
     authorized to provide to the State of Alaska funds for State 
     law enforcement, judicial infrastructure and other costs 
     necessary in remote villages to implement the prohibitions on 
     the sale, importation and possession of alcohol adopted 
     pursuant to State local option statutes.
       (2) Funds provided to the State of Alaska under this 
     section shall be in addition to and shall not disqualify the 
     State, local governments, or Indian tribes (as that term is 
     defined in section 4(e) of the Indian Self-Determination and 
     Education Assistance Act (P.L. 93-638, as amended; 25 U.S.C. 
     450b(e) (1998)) from Federal funds available under other 
     authority.
       (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--
       (1) In General.--There are authorized to be appropriated to 
     carry out this section--
       (A) $15,000,000 for fiscal year 2000;
       (B) $17,000,000 for fiscal year 2001;
       (C) $18,000,000 for fiscal year 2002.
       (2) Source of sums.--Amounts authorized to be appropriated 
     under this subsection may be derived from the Violent Crime 
     Reduction Trust Fund.

     SEC. 1629. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.

       Nothing in this Act may be construed to create, expand or 
     diminish or in any way affect the jurisdiction of an Indian 
     tribe in the State of Alaska.

     SEC. 1630. BOUNTY HUNTER ACCOUNTABILITY AND QUALITY 
                   ASSISTANCE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) bounty hunters, also known as bail enforcement officers 
     or recovery agents, provide law enforcement officers and the 
     courts with valuable assistance in recovering fugitives from 
     justice;
       (2) regardless of the differences in their duties, skills, 
     and responsibilities, the public has had difficulty in 
     discerning the difference between law enforcement officers 
     and bounty hunters;
       (3) the availability of bail as an alternative to the 
     pretrial detention or unsecured release of criminal 
     defendants is important to the effective functioning of the 
     criminal justice system;
       (4) the safe and timely return to custody of fugitives who 
     violate bail contracts is an important matter of public 
     safety, as is the return of any other fugitive from justice;
       (5) bail bond agents are widely regulated by the States, 
     whereas bounty hunters are largely unregulated;
       (6) the public safety requires the employment of qualified, 
     well-trained bounty hunters; and
       (7) in the course of their duties, bounty hunters often 
     move in and affect interstate commerce.
       (b) Definitions.--In this section--
       (1) the term ``bail bond agent'' means any retail seller of 
     a bond to secure the release of a criminal defendant pending 
     judicial proceedings, unless such person also is self-
     employed to obtain the recovery of any fugitive from justice 
     who has been released on bail;

[[Page S9289]]

       (2) the term ``bounty hunter''--
       (A) means any person whose services are engaged, either as 
     an independent contractor or as an employee of a bounty 
     hunter employer, to obtain the recovery of any fugitive from 
     justice who has been released on bail; and
       (B) does not include any--
       (i) law enforcement officer acting under color of law;
       (ii) attorney, accountant, or other professional licensed 
     under applicable State law;
       (iii) employee whose duties are primarily internal audit or 
     credit functions;
       (iv) person while engaged in the performance of official 
     duties as a member of the Armed Forces on active duty (as 
     defined in section 101(d)(1) of title 10, United States 
     Code); or
       (v) bail bond agent;
       (3) the term ``bounty hunter employer''--
       (A) means any person that--
       (i) employs 1 or more bounty hunters; or
       (ii) provides, as an independent contractor, for 
     consideration, the services of 1 or more bounty hunters 
     (which may include the services of that person); and
       (B) does not include any bail bond agent; and
       (4) the term ``law enforcement officer'' means a public 
     officer or employee authorized under applicable Federal or 
     State law to conduct or engage in the prevention, 
     investigation, prosecution, or adjudication of criminal 
     offenses, including any public officer or employee engaged in 
     corrections, parole, or probation functions, or the recovery 
     of any fugitive from justice.
       (c) Model Guidelines.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall develop 
     model guidelines for the State control and regulation of 
     persons employed or applying for employment as bounty 
     hunters. In developing such guidelines, the Attorney General 
     shall consult with organizations representing--
       (A) State and local law enforcement officers;
       (B) State and local prosecutors;
       (C) the criminal defense bar;
       (D) bail bond agents;
       (E) bounty hunters; and
       (F) corporate sureties.
       (2) Recommendations.--The guidelines developed under 
     paragraph (1) shall include recommendations of the Attorney 
     General regarding whether--

       (ii) not be allowed to obtain such employment if that 
     person has been convicted of a felony offense under Federal 
     or State law;
       (B) bounty hunters and bounty hunter employers should be 
     required to obtain adequate liability insurance for actions 
     taken in the course of performing duties pursuant to 
     employment as a bounty hunter; and
       (C) State laws should provide--
       (i) for the prohibition on bounty hunters entering any 
     private dwelling, unless the bounty hunter first knocks on 
     the front door and announces the presence of 1 or more bounty 
     hunters; and
       (ii) the official recognition of bounty hunters from other 
     States.
       (3) Effect on bail.--The guidelines published under 
     paragraph (1) shall include an analysis of the estimated 
     effect, if any, of the adoption of the guidelines by the 
     States on--
       (A) the cost and availability of bail; and
       (B) the bail bond agent industry.
       (4) No regulatory authority.--Nothing in this subsection 
     may be construed to authorize the promulgation of any Federal 
     regulation relating to bounty hunters, bounty hunter 
     employers, or bail bond agents.
       (5) Publication of guidelines.--The Attorney General shall 
     publish model guidelines developed pursuant to paragraph (1) 
     in the Federal Register.

     SEC. 1632. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings--
       (1) The Nation's highest priority should be to ensure that 
     children begin school ready to learn.
       (2) New scientific research shows that the electrical 
     activity of brain cells actually changes the physical 
     structure of the brain itself and that without a stimulating 
     environment, a baby's brain will suffer. At birth, a baby's 
     brain contains 100,000,000,000 neurons, roughly as many nerve 
     cells as there are stars in the Milky Way, but the wiring 
     pattern between these neurons develops over time. Children 
     who play very little or are rarely touched develop brains 
     that are 20 to 30 percent smaller than normal for their age.
       (3) This scientific research also conclusively demonstrates 
     that enhancing children's physical, social, emotional, and 
     intellectual development will result in tremendous benefits 
     for children, families, and the Nation.
       (4) Since more than 50 percent of the mothers of children 
     under the age of 3 now work outside of the home, society must 
     change to provide new supports so young children receive the 
     attention and care that they need.
       (5) There are 12,000,000 children under the age of 3 in the 
     United States today and 1 in 4 lives in poverty.
       (6) Compared with most other industrialized countries, the 
     United States has a higher infant mortality rate, a higher 
     proportion of low-birth weight babies, and a smaller 
     proportion of babies immunized against childhood diseases.
       (7) National and local studies have found a strong link 
     between--
       (A) lack of early intervention for children; and
       (B) increased violence and crime among youth.
       (8) The United States will spend more than $35,000,000,000 
     over the next 5 years on Federal programs for at-risk or 
     delinquent youth and child welfare programs, which address 
     crisis situations that frequently could have been avoided or 
     made much less severe through good early intervention for 
     children.
       (9) Many local communities across the country have 
     developed successful early childhood efforts and with 
     additional resources could expand and enhance opportunities 
     for young children.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     Federal funding for early childhood development 
     collaboratives should be a priority in the Federal budget for 
     fiscal year 2000 and subsequent fiscal years.

     SEC. 1633. PROHIBITION ON PROMOTING VIOLENCE ON FEDERAL 
                   PROPERTY.

       (a) General Rule.--A Federal department or agency that--
       (1) considers a request from an individual or entity for 
     the use of any property, facility, equipment, or personnel of 
     the department or agency, or for any other cooperation from 
     the department or agency, to film a motion picture or 
     television production for commercial purposes; and
       (2) makes a determination as to whether granting a request 
     described in paragraph (1) is consistent with--
       (A) United States policy;
       (B) the mission or interest of the department or agency; or
       (C) the public interest;
     shall not grant such a request without considering whether 
     such motion picture or television production glorifies or 
     endorses wanton and gratuitous violence.
       (b) Exception.--Subsection (a) shall not apply to--
       (1) any bona fide newsreel or news television production; 
     or
       (2) any public service announcement.

     SEC. 1634. PROVISIONS RELATING TO PAWN SHOPS AND SPECIAL 
                   LICENSEES.

       (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the 
     repeal heretofore effected by paragraph (1) and the amendment 
     heretofore effected by paragraph (2) of subsection (c) with 
     the heading ``Provision Related to Pawn and Other 
     Transactions'' of section 503 of title V with the heading 
     ``General Firearm Provisions'' shall be null and void.
       (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, 
     section 923(m)(1), of title 18, United States Code, as 
     heretofore provided, is amended by adding at the end the 
     following subparagraph:
       ``(F) Compliance.--Except as to the State and local 
     planning and zoning requirements for a licensed premises as 
     provided in subparagraph (D), a special licensee shall be 
     subject to all of the provisions of this chapter applicable 
     to dealers, including, but not limited to, the performance of 
     an instant background check.''.

     SEC. 1635. EXTENSION OF BRADY BACKGROUND CHECKS TO GUN SHOWS.

       (a) 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 fact, even 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) at gun shows, flea markets, and other organized events 
     at which guns are exhibited or offered for sale or exchange, 
     criminals and other

[[Page S9290]]

     prohibited persons obtain guns without background checks and 
     frequently use guns that cannot be traced to later commit 
     crimes;
       (7) 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;
       (8) gun violence is a pervasive, national problem that is 
     exacerbated by the availability of guns at gun shows, flea 
     markets, and other organized events;
       (9) 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
       (10) 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.
       (b) Definitions.--Section 921(a) of title 18, United States 
     Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
       ``(35) Gun show.--The term `gun show' means any event--
       ``(A) at which 50 or more firearms are offered or exhibited 
     for sale, transfer, or exchange, if 1 or more of the firearms

     interstate or foreign commerce; and
       ``(B) at which--
       ``(i) not less than 20 percent of the exhibitors are 
     firearm exhibitors;
       ``(ii) there are not less than 10 firearm exhibitors; or
       ``(iii) 50 or more firearms are offered for sale, transfer, 
     or exchange.
       ``(36) Gun show promoter.--The term `gun show promoter' 
     means any person who organizes, plans, promotes, or operates

                Subtitle B--James Guelff Body Armor Act

     SEC. 1641. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``James Guelff Body Armor 
     Act of 1999''.

     SEC. 1642. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) nationally, police officers and ordinary citizens are 
     facing increased danger as criminals use more deadly 
     weaponry, body armor, and other sophisticated assault gear;
       (2) crime at the local level is exacerbated by the 
     interstate movement of body armor and other assault gear;
       (3) there is a traffic in body armor moving in or otherwise 
     affecting interstate commerce, and existing Federal controls 
     over such traffic do not adequately enable the States to 
     control this traffic within their own borders through the 
     exercise of their police power;
       (4) recent incidents, such as the murder of San Francisco 
     Police Officer James Guelff by an assailant wearing 2 layers 
     of body armor and a

[[Page S9293]]

     1997 bank shoot out in north Hollywood, California, between 
     police and 2 heavily armed suspects outfitted in body armor, 
     demonstrate the serious threat to community safety posed by 
     criminals who wear body armor during the commission of a 
     violent crime;
       (5) of the approximately 1,200 officers killed in the line 
     of duty since 1980, more than 30 percent could have been 
     saved by body armor, and the risk of dying from gunfire is 14 
     times higher for an officer without a bulletproof vest;
       (6) the Department of Justice has estimated that 25 percent 
     of State and local police are not issued body armor;
       (7) the Federal Government is well-equipped to grant local 
     police departments access to body armor that is no longer 
     needed by Federal agencies; and
       (8) Congress has the power, under the interstate commerce 
     clause and other provisions of the Constitution of the United 
     States, to enact legislation to regulate interstate commerce 
     that affects the integrity and safety of our communities.

     SEC. 1643. DEFINITIONS.

                   BODY ARMOR.

       (a) Sentencing Enhancement.--The United States Sentencing 
     Commission shall amend the Federal sentencing guidelines to 
     provide an appropriate sentencing enhancement, increasing the 
     offense level not less than 2 levels, for any offense in 
     which the defendant used body armor.
       (b) Applicability.--No amendment made to the Federal 
     Sentencing Guidelines pursuant to this section shall apply if 
     the Federal offense in which the body armor is used

     conspiracy to violate the civil rights of any person by a law 
     enforcement officer acting under color of the authority of 
     such law enforcement officer.

     SEC. 1645. PROHIBITION OF PURCHASE, USE, OR POSSESSION OF

     to the course of such performance.
       ``(2) Employer.--In this subsection, the term `employer' 
     means any other individual employed by the defendant's

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) Officer Dale Claxton of the Cortez, Colorado, Police 
     Department was shot and killed by bullets that passed through 
     the windshield of his police car after he stopped a stolen 
     truck, and his life may have been saved if his police car had 
     been equipped with bullet resistant equipment;
       (2) the number of law enforcement officers who are killed 
     in the line of duty would significantly decrease if every law 
     enforcement officer in the United States had access to 
     additional bullet resistant equipment;
       (3) according to studies, between 1985 and 1994, 709 law 
     enforcement officers in the United States were feloniously 
     killed in the line of duty;
       (4) the Federal Bureau of Investigation estimates that the 
     risk of fatality to law enforcement officers while not 
     wearing bullet resistant equipment, such as an armor vest, is 
     14 times higher than for officers wearing an armor vest;
       (5) according to studies, between 1985 and 1994, bullet-
     resistant materials helped save the lives of more than 2,000 
     law enforcement officers in the United States; and
       (6) the Executive Committee for Indian Country Law 
     Enforcement Improvements reports that violent crime in Indian 
     country has risen sharply despite a decrease in the national 
     crime rate, and has concluded that there is a ``public safety 
     crisis in Indian country''.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this chapter is to save lives 
     of law enforcement officers by helping State, local, and 
     tribal law enforcement agencies provide officers with bullet 
     resistant equipment and video cameras.

     SEC. 1661. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Internet Firearms and 
     Explosives Advertising Act of 1999''.

     SEC. 1662. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) Citizens have an individual right, under the Second 
     Amendment to the United States Constitution, to keep and bear 
     arms. The Gun Control Act of 1968 and the Firearms Owners 
     Protection Act of 1986 specifically state that it is not the 
     intent of Congress to frustrate the free exercise of that 
     right in enacting Federal legislation. The free exercise of 
     that right includes law abiding firearms owners buying, 
     selling, trading, and collecting guns in accordance with 
     Federal, State, and local laws for whatever lawful use they 
     deem desirable.
       (2) The Internet is a powerful information medium, which 
     has and continues to be an excellent tool to educate citizens 
     on the training, education and safety programs available to 
     use firearms safely and responsibly. It has, and should 
     continue to develop, as a 21st century tool for ``e-
     commerce'' and marketing many

[[Page S9297]]

     products, including firearms and sporting goods. Many web 
     sites related to these topics are sponsored in large part by 
     the sporting firearms and hunting community.
       (3) It is the intent of Congress that this legislation be 
     applied where the Internet is being exploited to violate the 
     applicable explosives and firearms laws of the United States.

     SEC. 1663. PROHIBITIONS ON USES OF THE INTERNET.

       (a) In General.--Chapter 44 of title 18, United States 
     Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:

     SEC. 1671. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Partnerships for High-
     Risk Youth Act''.

     SEC. 1672. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) violent juvenile crime rates have been increasing in 
     United States schools, causing many high-profile deaths of 
     young, innocent school children;
       (2) in 1994, there were 2,700,000 arrests of persons under 
     age 18 (a third of whom were under age 15), up from 1,700,000 
     in 1991;
       (3) while crime is generally down in many urban and 
     suburban areas, crime committed by teenagers has spiked 
     sharply over the past few years;
       (4) there is no single solution, or panacea, to the problem 
     of rising juvenile crime;
       (5) there will soon be over 34,000,000 teenagers in the 
     United States, which is 26 percent higher than the number of 
     such teenagers in 1990 and the largest number of teenagers in 
     the United States to date;
       (6) in order to ensure the safety of youth in the United 
     States, the Nation should begin to explore innovative methods 
     of curbing the rise in violent crime in United States 
     schools, such as use of faith-based and grassroots 
     initiatives; and
       (7)(A) a strong partnership among law enforcement, local 
     government, juvenile and family courts, schools, businesses, 
     charitable organizations, families, and the religious 
     community can create a community environment that supports 
     the youth of the Nation and reduces the occurrence of 
     juvenile crime; and
       (B) the development of character and strong moral values 
     will--
       (i) greatly decrease the likelihood that youth will fall 
     victim to the temptations of crime; and
       (ii) improve the lives and future prospects of high-risk 
     youth and their communities.

     SEC. 1673. PURPOSES.

       The purposes of this subtitle are as follows:
       (1) To establish a national demonstration project to 
     promote learning about successful youth interventions, with 
     programs carried out by institutions that can identify and 
     employ effective approaches for improving the lives and 
     future prospects of high-risk youth and their communities.
       (2) To document best practices for conducting successful 
     interventions for high-risk youth, based on the results of 
     local initiatives.
       (3) To produce lessons and data from the operating 
     experience from those local initiatives that will--
       (A) provide information to improve policy in the public and 
     private sectors; and
       (B) promote the operational effectiveness of other local 
     initiatives throughout the United States.
