SEC. ____03. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria disproportionately
        affect the world's poorest countries and together will cost the
        lives of 6,000,000 people this year alone.
            (2) According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/
        AIDS (UNAIDS), more than 58,000,000 people worldwide have
        already been infected with HIV/AIDS, a fatal disease that is
        devastating the health, economies, and social structures in
        dozens of countries in Africa, and increasingly in Asia, the
        Caribbean, and Eastern Europe.
            (3) AIDS has wiped out decades of progress in improving the
        lives of families in the developing world. As the leading cause
        of death in Africa, AIDS has killed 17,000,000 and will claim
        the lives of one quarter of the population, mostly productive
        adults, in the next decade. In addition, 13,000,000 children
        have been orphaned by AIDS--a number that will rise to
        40,000,000 by 2010.
            (4) The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that
        8,000,000 people each year become sick with tuberculosis, one
        of the most dangerous contagious diseases, easily transmitted
        through the air from those infected. Globally, tuberculosis
        kills at least 2,000,000 each year, is the leading killer of
        women between 15 and 44 years old, and is the most common cause
        of death in Africa in those with HIV/AIDS.
            (5) More than 40 percent of tuberculosis cases in the
        United States result from importation of tuberculosis from
        foreign-borne persons. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis spreads
        because of inadequate control programs and inappropriate use of
        anti-tuberculosis drugs--mostly in the developing world.
        Without a concerted international effort to increase the
        implementation of WHO-approved control strategies, the United
        States risks importation of this particularly dangerous form of
        tuberculosis.
            (6) Malaria is a third disease that saps the social and
        economic strength tropical developing countries. Malaria
        affects more than 500,000,000 people each year and undermines
        not only the health and productivity of the world's poorest
        countries; malaria kills at least 1,000,000 each year, about
        3,000 each day. In Africa, malaria kills a child every 40
        seconds.
            (7) Beyond the human toll, the economic impact of AIDS,
        malaria, and tuberculosis on regional economies is severe.
        According to UNAIDS, HIV/AIDS alone will reduce gross domestic
        product (GDP) of South Africa by 17 percent, or $22,000,000,000
        over the next 10 years, and WHO estimates that sub-Saharan
        Africa's GDP would be 32 percent, or $100,000,000,000 higher
        now if malaria had been conquered 35 years ago. The current
        short term economic loss and direct cost of malaria is
        estimated to be up to $12,000,000,000 each year.
            (8) The UNAIDS program estimates it will cost
        $3,000,000,000 for basic AIDS prevention and care services in
        sub-Saharan Africa alone, and at least $2,000,000,000 more if
        anti-retroviral drugs are provided widely. But in Africa, only
        $500,000,000 is currently available from all donors, lending
        agencies, and African governments themselves.
            (9) For tuberculosis control, WHO estimates that a total of
        $1,000,000,000 per year will be necessary to effectively fight
        the tuberculosis epidemic, which will be spent to identify at
        least 70 percent of the cases and curing 85 percent of them.
        WHO indicates that an increase of $400,000,000 per year could
        make this goal a reality.
            (10) The Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi
        Annan, has called for a global fund to halt and reverse the
        spread of HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. The Secretary
        General proposed a multibillion dollar ``war chest'' financed
        jointly by donor governments and private contributors and,
        equally important, called on leaders from developing nations to
give a much higher priority in their budgets to development of
comprehensive health systems.
            (11) The Secretary General has outlined the following five
        objectives for the fight against AIDS:
                    (A) To ensure that people everywhere know what to
                do to prevent infection.
                    (B) To prevent the transmission from mother to
                child.
                    (C) To provide care and treatment to those
                infected.
                    (D) To provide care to those affected by AIDS,
                especially orphans.
                    (E) To deliver scientific breakthroughs, especially
                vaccines.
            (12) Prevention of new infections is key, although
        treatment and care for those infected by HIV/AIDS is an
        increasingly critical component of the global response.
        Improving health systems, providing home-based care, treating
        AIDS-associated diseases like tuberculosis, providing for
        family support and orphan care, and making anti-retroviral
        drugs against HIV available will reduce social and economic
        damage to families and communities.
            (13) Responding to the call from the Secretary General, the
        African heads of state meeting at the African Summit on HIV/
        AIDS, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases in Abuja,
        Nigeria, April 25-27, committed to increasing to at least 15
        percent the proportion of their budgets allocated to the health
        sector.
            (14) Expanded United States financial support for new broad
        based international partnerships to control HIV/AIDS, malaria,
        and tuberculosis can help leverage substantial increases in
        global commitments to narrow the gap between need and currently
        available resources.
            (15) The World Bank and WHO have demonstrated that
        investment in global public health activities to reduce HIV/
        AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis not only is a humanitarian
        imperative, it also helps bolster the economic and social
        development necessary to build political and trade alliances.
        Further, containment of international disease threats has
        beneficial ramifications for Americans who are increasingly
        susceptible to global infectious disease threats.

                its board of trustees with guidance from the technical
                advisory group, should provide only grants, including
                grants for technical assistance to support measures to
                build local capacity in national and local government,
                civil society, and the private sector, with respect to
                the prevention of new infections and the care and
                treatment of individuals infected with disease.
                    (B) Eligibility for grants.--Governments and
                nongovernmental organizations shall be eligible to

                that State that is located outside that station's
                designated market area and is not served by another
                noncommercial educational broadcast station located
                within that State.''.

Summary: Statewide PTV Access Act of 2009 - Permits a satellite carrier to retransmit the signals of a state-wide network of noncommercial educational broadcast stations to any subscriber in any county within such state that is: (1) outside that station's local market. And (2) not served by an in-state noncommercial educational television broadcast station. Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to permit a satellite carrier to retransmit the signals of a television broadcast station outside the station's local market directly to its subscribers if: (1) such station is a part of a network of three or more noncommercial educational broadcast stations that are licensed to a single state, political, educational, or special purpose subdivision of a state, or to a single public agency. And (2) the carrier retransmits such signal only to subscribers in a county within that state that is outside the station's local market and is not served by another in-state noncommercial educational broadcast station.

To amend section 119 of title 17, United States Code, and the Communications Act of 1934 to permit satellite carriers to retransmit the signals of certain noncommercial, educational broadcast stations outside their local markets, and for other purposes.

        who receives qualified settlement income during a taxable year,
        the tax imposed by chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of
        1986 for such taxable year shall be equal to the sum of--
                    (A) the tax which would be imposed under such
                chapter if--
                            (i) no amount of elected qualified
                        settlement income were included in gross income
                        for such year, and
                            (ii) no deduction were allowed for such
                        year for expenses (otherwise allowable as a
                        deduction to the taxpayer for such year)
                        attributable to such elected qualified
                        settlement income, plus
                    (B) the increase in tax under such chapter which
                would result if taxable income for each of the years in
                the applicable period were increased by an amount equal
                to the applicable fraction of the elected qualified
                settlement income reduced by any expenses (otherwise
                allowable as a deduction to the taxpayer) attributable
                to such elected qualified settlement income.
        Any adjustment under this section for any taxable year shall be
        taken into account in applying this section for any subsequent
