       On page 222, between lines 5 and 6, insert the following:
       Sec. ___. (a) Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 permitted the 
     outsourcing or privatization by the Internal Revenue Service 
     of collection of unpaid and past due federal income taxes.
       (2) The Internal Revenue Service is about to issue to 
     private-sector debt collection companies tax collection 
     contracts that will create up to 4,000 well paying private-
     sector jobs.
       (3) If the same tax collection activities were conducted by 
     Federal employees, Federal law would give preferences in 
     employment to disabled veterans in filling those federal 
     jobs.
       (4) By enacting legislation to improve the Internal Revenue 
     Service's tax collection efforts and outsourcing or 
     privatizing those efforts, Congress did not intend to curtail 
     the Nation's long-standing commitment to creating meaningful 
     job opportunities for disabled veterans and other persons 
     with severe disabilities.
       (5) The contracts the Internal Revenue Service will execute 
     with private-sector debt collection companies provide a 
     unique opportunity for the Federal government to stimulate 
     the creation of well paying jobs for disabled veterans and 
     other persons with disabilities.
       (b) It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the Secretary of the Treasury should, to the maximum 
     extent practicable, ensure that existing Federal employment 
     preferences for disabled veterans and Federal policies 
     promoting opportunities for other disabled persons are 
     carried forward as a part of any tax collection contract 
     program carried out under section 6306 of the Internal 
     Revenue Code of 1986, as added by the American Jobs Creation 
     Act of 2004, and
       (2) the criteria applied by the Internal Revenue Service in 
     awarding contracts to private-sector tax collection companies 
     under

[[Page 23753]]

     such program should incorporate a preference for companies 
     hiring disabled veterans and other disabled persons.
                                 ______

       In addition to amounts otherwise appropriated under this

     not otherwise appropriated, $85,000,000 to ensure that the 
     amount of Federal assistance received under part A of title I 
     of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 
     U.S.C. 6311 et seq.) by a local educational agency for fiscal 
     year 2006 is not less than the amount of Federal assistance 
     received by such agency under such part for fiscal year 2005.

     imposed by reason of this section.
       ``(6) Elections.--An election under paragraph (1) shall 
     only apply to property described in the election and, once

TITLE __--ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS AND 
                 SCHOOLS IMPACTED BY HURRICANE KATRINA

     SEC. __. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Hurricane Katrina 
     Elementary and Secondary Education Recovery Act''.

     SEC. __. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:

[[Page 23758]]

       (1) Hurricane Katrina has had a devastating and 
     unprecedented impact on students who attended schools in the 
     disaster areas.
       (2) Due to the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina, a 
     significant number of students have enrolled in schools 
     outside of the area in which they resided on August 22, 2005, 
     including a significant number of students who enrolled in 
     non-public schools because their parents chose to enroll them 
     in such schools.
       (3) 372,000 students were displaced by Hurricane Katrina. 
     Approximately 700 schools have been damaged or destroyed. 
     Nine States each have more than 1,000 of such displaced 
     students enrolled in their schools. In Texas alone, over 
     45,000 displaced students have enrolled in schools.
       (4) In response to these extraordinary conditions, this 
     title creates a one-time only emergency grant for the 2005-
     2006 school year tailored to the needs and particular 
     circumstances of students displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
       (5) The level and type of assistance provided under this 
     title, both for students attending public schools and 
     students attending non-public schools, is being authorized 
     solely because of the unprecedented nature of the crisis, the 
     massive dislocation of students, and the short duration of 
     assistance.

     SEC. __. WAIVERS AND OTHER ACTIONS.

       (a) Current Waiver and Other Authority.--The Secretary of 
     Education is encouraged to exercise the maximum waiver 
     authority available or exercise other actions for States,

     Katrina with respect to the waiver authority or authorization 
     of actions provided under the following provisions of the 
     Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C.

       (8) Section 3122(a)(3)(B) of such Act (20 U.S.C. 
     6842(a)(3)(B)).

       (10) Section 7118(c)(3)(A) of such Act (20 U.S.C. 
     7428(c)(3)(A)).
       (11) Section 9521(c) of such Act (20 U.S.C. 7901(c)).
       (b) Report on Waivers.--Not later than December 31, 2005, 
     the Secretary of Education shall prepare and submit a report 
     on the States and local educational agencies requesting a 
     waiver of any provision under the Elementary and Secondary

     of displaced students assisted under this section.

     classes.

     a parent or guardian of the student for purposes of Federal 
     tax laws or for determining eligibility for any other Federal 
     program.
       (n) Treatment of State Aid.--A State shall not take into 
     consideration emergency impact aid payments received under 
     this section by a local educational agency in the State in

[[Page 23765]]

     been disagreed to) for any Member of the respective House to 
     move to proceed to the consideration of the resolution, and

     appropriate House, the vote on final passage of the 
     resolution shall occur.
       (4) Rulings of the chair on procedure.--Appeals from the 
     decisions of the Chair relating to the application of the 
     rules of the Senate or the House of Representatives, as the 
     case may be, to the procedure relating to a resolution 
     described in subsection (b) shall be decided without debate.
       (f) Coordination With Action by Other House.--If, before 
     the passage by 1 House of a resolution of that House 
     described in subsection (b), that House receives from the 
     other House a resolution described in subsection (b) relating 
     to the same matter, then the following procedures shall 
     apply:
       (1) The resolution of the other House shall not be referred 
     to a committee.
       (2) With respect to a resolution described in subsection 
     (b) of the House receiving the resolution--
       (A) the procedure in that House shall be the same as if no 
     resolution had been received from the other House; but
       (B) the vote on final passage shall be on the resolution of 
     the other House.

     subsection is enacted by Congress--

     and House of Representatives, respectively, and as such it is 
     deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but 
     applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed 
     in that House in the case of a resolution described in 
     subsection (b), and it supersedes other rules only to the 
     extent that it is inconsistent with such rules; and
       (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
     either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the 
     procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and

TITLE __--ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS AND 
                 SCHOOLS IMPACTED BY HURRICANE KATRINA

     SEC. __. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Hurricane Katrina 
     Elementary and Secondary Education Recovery Act''.

     SEC. __. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) Hurricane Katrina has had a devastating and 
     unprecedented impact on students who attended schools in the 
     disaster areas.
       (2) Due to the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina, a 
     significant number of students have enrolled in schools 
     outside of the area in which they resided on August 22, 2005, 
     including a significant number of students who enrolled in 
     non-public schools because their parents chose to enroll them 
     in such schools.
       (3) 372,000 students were displaced by Hurricane Katrina. 
     Approximately 700 schools have been damaged or destroyed. 
     Nine States each have more than 1,000 of such displaced 
     students enrolled in their schools. In Texas alone, over 
     45,000 displaced students have enrolled in schools.
       (4) In response to these extraordinary conditions, this 
     title creates a one-time only emergency grant for the 2005-
     2006 school year tailored to the needs and particular 
     circumstances of students displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
       (5) The level and type of assistance provided under this 
     title, both for students attending public schools and 
     students attending non-public schools, is being authorized 
     solely because of the unprecedented nature of the crisis, the 
     massive dislocation of students, and the short duration of 
     assistance.

     SEC. __. WAIVERS AND OTHER ACTIONS.

       (a) Current Waiver and Other Authority.--The Secretary of 
     Education is encouraged to exercise the maximum waiver 
     authority available or exercise other actions for States,

     religious organization if the application of paragraph (1) 
     would not be consistent with the religious tenets of such 
     organization.
       (B) Single sex schools, classes, or activities.--
     Notwithstanding paragraph (1) and to the extent consistent 
     with title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, a parent 
     or guardian may choose and a non-public school may offer a 
     single sex school, class, or activity.

     religious organization, except in the case of the enrollment 
     of displaced students assisted under this section.

     classes.

     a parent or guardian of the student for purposes of Federal 
     tax laws or for determining eligibility for any other Federal 
     program.
       (n) Treatment of State Aid.--A State shall not take into 
     consideration emergency impact aid payments received under 
     this section by a local educational agency in the State in

     free public education of children.

     formula did not provide enough base funding to immediately 
     assist all workers who are eligible, the length and incidence 
     of waiting lists established because of lack of base funding,

       Sec. 222.(a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) Hospitals cannot provide patient care without 
     physicians.
       (2) It is particularly difficult for hospitals to provide 
     patient care to uninsured patients.
       (3) Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments 
     provide payments to hospitals to provide care to uninsured 
     patients.
       (4) Hospitals that provide a large volume of care to 
     uninsured patients incur significant costs.
       (5) Since there is no other source of reimbursement for 
     hospitals related to these costs, some States have permitted 
     reimbursement of these physician costs through Medicaid DSH.
       (6) The State of Virginia has approved the inclusion of 
     physician services costs as hospital costs for Medicaid DSH 
     purposes.
       (7) Fifty percent of all indigent care in the State of 
     Virginia is provided by its 2 academic medical centers.
       (8) The financial viability of these academic medical 
     centers is threatened if these costs cannot be included in 
     Medicaid DSH reimbursement.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the Senate is aware of an issue regarding the definition 
     of ``hospital costs'' incurred by the State of Virginia for 
     purposes of Medicaid reimbursement to that State and urges 
     the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 
     Services to work with the State to resolve the pending issue.
