     be fully sufficient with respect to accuracy and reliability 
     throughout the area.

     substantially in compliance with the agreement under clause 
     (iii)(II).

     year 2009, the Secretary may terminate an exemption under

     and the Secretary determines that the State is not 
     substantially following the plan.
       ``(vi) Counting of cases in areas with exemptions.--

       ``(I) In general.--With respect to an eligible area that is 
     under a reporting system for living non-AIDS cases of HIV 
     that is not names-based (referred to in this subparagraph as 
     `code-based reporting'), the Secretary shall, for purposes of 
     this subparagraph, modify the number of such cases reported 
     for the eligible area in order to adjust for duplicative 
     reporting in and among systems that use code-based reporting.
       ``(II) Adjustment rate.--The adjustment rate under 
     subclause (I) for an eligible area shall be a reduction of 5 
     percent in the number of living non-AIDS cases of HIV 
     reported for the area.

       ``(vii) Multiple political jurisdictions.--With respect to 
     living non-AIDS cases of HIV, if an eligible area is not 
     entirely within one political jurisdiction and as a result is 
     subject to more than one reporting system for purposes of 
     this subparagraph:

       ``(I) Names-based reporting under clause (i) applies in a 
     jurisdictional portion of the area, or an exemption under 
     clause (ii) applies in such portion (subject to applicable 
     provisions of this subparagraph), according to whether names-
     based reporting or code-based reporting is used in such 
     portion.
       ``(II) If under subclause (I) both names-based reporting 
     and code-based reporting apply in the area, the number of 
     code-based cases shall be reduced under clause (vi).

       ``(viii) List of eligible areas meeting standard regarding 
     december 31, 2005.--

       ``(I) In general.--If an eligible area or portion thereof 
     is in a State specified in subclause (II), the eligible area 
     or portion shall be considered to meet the standard described 
     in clause (ii)(I). No other eligible area or portion thereof 
     may be considered to meet such standard.
       ``(II) Relevant states.--For purposes of subclause (I), the 
     States specified in this subclause are the following: Alaska,

     reports.--

       ``(I) Cases of aids.--With respect to an eligible area that 
     is subject to the requirement under clause (i) and is not in 
     compliance with the requirement for names-based reporting of 
     living non-AIDS cases of HIV, the Secretary shall, 
     notwithstanding such noncompliance, accept reports of living 
     cases of AIDS that are in accordance with such clause.
       ``(II) Applicability of exemption requirements.--The 
     provisions of clauses (ii) through (viii) may not be 
     construed as having any legal effect for fiscal year 2010 or 
     any subsequent fiscal year, and accordingly, the status of a 
     State for purposes of such clauses may not be considered 
     after fiscal year 2009.

       ``(x) Program for detecting inaccurate or fraudulent 
     counting.--The Secretary shall carry out a program to monitor 
     the reporting of names-based cases for purposes of this 
     subparagraph and to detect instances of inaccurate reporting, 
     including fraudulent reporting.''.

     SEC. 2. AMENDMENT TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE ACT.

       Section 519B of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 
     290bb-25b) is amended by striking subsections (a) through (f) 
     and inserting the following:
       ``(a) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
       ``(1) The term `alcohol beverage industry' means the 
     brewers, vintners, distillers, importers, distributors, and 
     retail or online outlets that sell or serve beer, wine, and 
     distilled spirits.
       ``(2) The term `school-based prevention' means programs, 
     which are institutionalized, and run by staff members or 
     school-designated persons or organizations in any grade of 
     school, kindergarten through 12th grade.
       ``(3) The term `youth' means persons under the age of 21.
       ``(4) The term `IOM report' means the report released in 
     September 2003 by the National Research Council, Institute of 
     Medicine, and entitled `Reducing Underage Drinking: A 
     Collective Responsibility'.
       ``(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that:
       ``(1) A multi-faceted effort is needed to more successfully 
     address the problem of underage drinking in the United 
     States. A coordinated approach to prevention, intervention, 
     treatment, enforcement, and research is key to making 
     progress. This Act recognizes the need for a focused national 
     effort, and addresses particulars of the Federal portion of 
     that effort, as well as Federal support for State activities.
       ``(2) The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall 
     continue to conduct research and collect data on the short 
     and long-range impact of alcohol use and abuse upon 
     adolescent brain development and other organ systems.
       ``(3) States and communities, including colleges and 
     universities, are encouraged to adopt comprehensive 
     prevention approaches, including--
       ``(A) evidence-based screening, programs and curricula;
       ``(B) brief intervention strategies;
       ``(C) consistent policy enforcement; and
       ``(D) environmental changes that limit underage access to 
     alcohol.
       ``(4) Public health groups, consumer groups, and the 
     alcohol beverage industry should continue and expand 
     evidence-based efforts to prevent and reduce underage 
     drinking.
       ``(5) The entertainment industries have a powerful impact 
     on youth, and they should use rating systems and marketing 
     codes to reduce the likelihood that underage audiences will 
     be exposed to movies, recordings, or television programs with 
     unsuitable alcohol content.
       ``(6) The National Collegiate Athletic Association, its 
     member colleges and universities, and athletic conferences 
     should affirm a commitment to a policy of discouraging 
     alcohol use among underage students and other young fans.
       ``(7) Alcohol is a unique product and should be regulated 
     differently than other products by the States and Federal 
     Government. States have primary authority to regulate alcohol 
     distribution and sale, and the Federal Government should 
     support and supplement these State efforts. States also have 
     a responsibility to fight youth access to alcohol and reduce 
     underage drinking. Continued State regulation and licensing 
     of the manufacture, importation, sale, distribution, 
     transportation and storage of alcoholic beverages are clearly 
     in the public interest and are critical to promoting 
     responsible consumption, preventing illegal access to alcohol 
     by persons under 21 years of age from commercial and non-
     commercial sources, maintaining industry integrity and an 
     orderly marketplace, and furthering effective State tax 
     collection.

     State Underage Drinking Prevention and Enforcement 
     Activities.--
       ``(1) Interagency coordinating committee on the prevention 
     of underage drinking.--
       ``(A) In general.--The Secretary, in collaboration with the 
     Federal officials specified in subparagraph (B), shall 
     formally establish and enhance the efforts of the interagency 
     coordinating committee, that began operating in 2004, 
     focusing on underage drinking (referred to in this subsection 
     as the `Committee').
       ``(B) Other agencies.--The officials referred to in 
     paragraph (1) are the Secretary of Education, the Attorney 
     General, the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary of 
     the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the Surgeon General,
