SEC. 7. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING INCREASED FUNDING FOR CHILD
              ADVOCACY CENTERS.

    It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) child advocacy centers play a vital role in
        interviewing, treating, and assisting victims of child abuse;
            (2) such centers are often responsible for intervening in a
        number of potentially dangerous domestic violence situations
        and thus preventing such violence or other incidents; and
            (3) it is appropriate to increase funding for such child
        advocacy centers under title II of the Victims of Child Abuse
        Act of 1990.

Summary: Child Abuse and Neglect Enforcement Act - Amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to provide for a ten percent reduction of drug control and system improvement (Byrne) grants to States that do not have in effect throughout the State a law requiring that a designated law enforcement agency make available to child protective and child welfare workers timely criminal conviction information and protection orders based on a claim of domestic or child abuse to the same extent as such information is made available to law enforcement officers in such State. Sets forth provisions regarding redistribution of funds. Directs the Attorney General to issue regulations to ensure compliance. Amends title XIX of the Public Health Service Act to authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services, for FY 1999 and subsequent fiscal years, to make a grant to a State for prevention and treatment of substance abuse only if such State requires by law or regulation that: (1) each newborn infant born in the State be tested for physical dependence on any drug, fetal alcohol syndrome, fetal alcohol effects, the presence of alcohol, and the presence of drugs that are associated with substance abuse. And (2) if the newborn tests positive under any such test, the principal State or local agency with responsibility for the protection of children be notified. Sets forth provisions regarding: (1) delayed applicability for certain States. And (2) reduction of a State's allotment for noncompliance. Amends: (1) the Safe Streets Act to authorize the use of Byrne grants to enforce child abuse and neglect laws and programs. And (2) the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 to increase the set aside for child abuse victims. Directs the Comptroller General of the United States to study and report to the Congress and the Secretary on reporting requirements under Federal laws relating to child abuse and neglect and under provisions of the Social Security Act relating to foster care and adoption assistance. Requires the Secretary to conduct an analysis of such report, including any appropriate recommendations for reducing the number of reporting requirements, and submit such analysis to the Congress within 90 days. Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) child advocacy centers play a vital role in interviewing, treating, and assisting victims of child abuse. (2) such centers are often responsible for intervening in a number of potentially dangerous domestic violence situations and thus preventing such violence or other incidents. And (3) it is appropriate to increase funding for such centers under the Victims of Child Abuse Act of 1990.

Child Abuse and Neglect Enforcement Act


SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Frank Buckles World War I Memorial
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 2017, the United States will commemorate the
        centennial of its entry into World War I, which introduced the
        American soldier to the world in what would become a familiar
        role as defender, liberator, and promoter of peace and
        democracy.
            (2) The support provided by the United States to Great
        Britain, France, and other allies in World War I marked the
        first time in the history of the United States that American
        soldiers went overseas to defend foreign soil against
        aggression, and it marked the true beginning of ``the American
        century''.
            (3) Although World War I was called the ``Great War'' and
        the ``War to End All Wars'', in fact, the United States would
        commit its troops to the defense of foreign lands several more
        times in the 20th century.
            (4) While three of these subsequent conflicts, World War
        II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, rightfully have
        commemorative memorials on the National Mall in the District of
        Columbia, there is no memorial to World War I on the Mall, even
        though more Americans gave their lives in World War I than in
        either the Korean War or the Vietnam War.
            (5) While a memorial to General John Pershing and the
        American Expeditionary Forces that he led during World War I is
        located in the District of Columbia, that memorial is not
        located on the Mall and does not commemorate the total
        participation of the United States and its Armed Forces in
        World War I.
            (6) The District of Columbia War Memorial is located on the
        Mall, adjacent to the Lincoln Reflecting Pool between the World
        War II and Korean War memorials, and was erected in memory of
        the 499 residents of the District of Columbia who died in World
        War I.
            (7) The District of Columbia War Memorial is in extreme
        disrepair and is often overlooked by residents and visitors to
        Washington.
            (8) In recognition of the upcoming anniversaries of
        America's entry into World War I, and of the armistice that
        concluded World War I on November 11, 1918, and in order to
        honor the members of the United States Armed Forces who served
        in World War I and to ensure that future generations of
        Americans will know the complete history of America's 20th-
        century struggle against aggression and totalitarianism, it is
        timely and proper to rededicate the site of the District of
        Columbia War Memorial on the National Mall as a ``National and
        District of Columbia World War I Memorial''.
            (9) Because this Act authorizes the rededication and
        related enhancement of a commemorative work that already
        exists, and that is already sited within the Reserve as defined
        in Commemorative Works Act, the provisions of the Commemorative
        Works Act regarding site approval and location of commemorative
        works do not apply to this Act.

SEC. 3. AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH COMMEMORATIVE WORK.

    The World War I Memorial Foundation is authorized to establish a
commemorative work rededicating the District of Columbia War Memorial
as a National and District of Columbia World War I Memorial,
including--
            (1) full restoration of the existing District of Columbia
        War Memorial; and
            (2) the addition of an appropriate sculptural or other
        commemorative element, which shall complement and preserve the
        existing memorial and its landscape, at the site of the
        existing memorial to make it a national memorial.

SEC. 4. COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS FOR COMMEMORATIVE WORKS; LOCATION OF
              MEMORIAL.

    (a) In General.--Except as provided by subsection (b), the
rededication of the District of Columbia War Memorial shall be in
accordance with chapter 89 of title 40, United States Code (popularly
known as the Commemorative Works Act).
    (b) Exception.--Sections 8908 and 8905 of title 40, United States
Code shall not apply to this Act.

SEC. 5. PRIVATE CONTRIBUTIONS.

    The Foundation shall solicit and accept private contributions for
the memorial.

SEC. 6. DEPOSIT OF EXCESS FUNDS.

    If, upon payment of all expenses of the rededication (including the
maintenance and preservation amount provided for in chapter 89 of title
40, United States Code, or upon expiration of the authority for the
commemorative work under such chapter), there remains a balance of
funds received for the establishment of the commemorative work, the
World War I Memorial Foundation shall transmit the amount of the
balance to the Secretary of the Treasury for deposit in the account
provided for in section 8906(b) of title 40, United States Code.

Summary: Frank Buckles World War I Memorial Act - Authorizes the World War I Memorial Foundation to establish a commemorative work rededicating the District of Columbia War Memorial as a National and District of Columbia World War I Memorial.

To authorize the rededication of the District of Columbia War Memorial as a National and District of Columbia World War I Memorial to honor the sacrifices made by American veterans of World War I.

        Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act''.

SEC. 4. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.

    Nothing in this Act or the amendments made by this Act shall be
construed to prohibit the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System from prescribing enhanced prudential standards for any bank
holding company which the Board of Governors determines, based upon the
bank holding company's size, interconnectedness, substitutability,
global cross-jurisdictional activity, and complexity, could pose a
safety and soundness risk to the stability of the United States banking
or financial system but has not been designated as a global
systemically important bank holding company.

SEC. 5. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    The amendments made by this Act shall take effect after the end of
the 1-year period following the date of the enactment of this Act.

Summary: Systemic Risk Designation Improvement Act of 2017 This bill amends the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to allow the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) to subject a bank holding company to enhanced supervision if: (1) the company has been identified as a global systemically important company. Or (2) the risk of the company's financial distress, or the nature of the company's activities, could pose a threat to the financial stability of the United States. Currently, companies are subject to this type of oversight if they possess at least $50 billion in assets or are a nonbank financial company under the FRB's supervision. The Financial Stability Oversight Council must approve of any metrics used by the FRB in determining by regulation that a category of bank holding companies is subject to enhanced supervision. Under this bill, companies subject to enhanced supervision may be required to limit mergers and acquisitions, restrict products offered, or maintain a certain debt ratio. The FRB must publish the list of companies that have been identified as requiring enhanced supervision.


SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Hazardous Materials Cooperative
Research Act of 2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) There are more than 1,000,000 shipments per day in the
        United States of materials identified as hazardous by the
        Department of Transportation. These shipments are estimated to
        total 2,100,000,000 tons of hazardous cargo per year and to
        comprise more than 18 percent of the total freight tonnage
        moved in the United States annually.
            (2) Hazardous materials are shipped by all transportation
        modes, and it is estimated that there are currently 400,000
        large trucks, 115,000 railroad tank cars, and 3,000 tank barges
        dedicated to the shipment of hazardous materials.
            (3) More than a dozen Federal agencies have regulatory,
        enforcement, and operational responsibilities for ensuring the
        safety and security of hazardous materials shipments. In
        addition, a variety of State and local agencies have
        responsibility for developing and enforcing State-level
        regulations and for responding to incidents involving hazardous
        materials.
            (4) Decisions regarding the packaging and routing of
        hazardous materials shipments, the development and
        implementation of procedures to ensure both the safety and
        security of such shipments, and the regulation of hazardous
        materials shipments are made by industry groups and government
        entities at a variety of levels and in all modal
        administrations of the Department of Transportation on a daily
        basis.
            (5) The Federal agencies involved in the regulation and
        oversight of hazardous materials shipments, as well as State
        and local governments, carriers, shippers, and other groups,
        conduct on-going research on the transportation of hazardous
        materials. However, much of this research is program or mode-
        specific and as such is focused on addressing only the
        regulatory, inspection, enforcement, or operational needs of
        the group undertaking the research.
            (6) There is a documented need for the establishment of a
        cooperative research program that will engage all modes and
        actors, both public and private, involved in the transportation
        of hazardous materials in conducting cross-cutting assessments
        of hazardous materials transportation issues that are national
        and multi-modal in scope and application.

materials transportation that are cross-cutting in nature and that
consider issues not adequately addressed by existing Federal or private
sector research programs. Priority shall be given to research studies
that will yield results immediately applicable to risk analysis and
mitigation or that will strengthen the ability of first responders to
respond to incidents and accidents involving transportation of
hazardous materials.
    (d) Implementation.--The Secretary shall make grants to, and enter
a cooperative agreement with, the National Academy of Sciences to carry
out projects and studies under the cooperative research program.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) there exists--

                Government and the Indian tribal governments; and
                    (B) a unique Federal trust responsibility to
                Indians;
            (2) Indians experience some of the worst housing conditions
        in the country, such that--
