Summary: Small Business Mergers, Acquisitions, Sales, and Brokerage Simplification Act of 2014 - Amends the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to exempt from its registration requirements certain merger and acquisition (Mamp. A) brokers and associated persons. Denies such registration exemption, however, to brokers who: (1) receive, hold, transmit, or have custody of any funds or securities to be exchanged by parties to a transfer of ownership of an eligible privately held company. Or (2) engage on behalf of an issuer in a public offering of securities that are either subject to mandatory registration, or with respect to which the issuer must file periodic information, documents, and reports. Prohibits the construction of this Act to limit any other authority of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to exempt any person, or any class of persons, from any provision of this Act, including any related rule or regulation.


SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Equitable Health Care for Severe
Mental Illnesses Act of 1993''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) American families should have health insurance
        protection for the costs of treating severe mental illnesses
        that is commensurate with the protection provided for other
        illnesses;
            (2) currently, many private health insurance policies and
        public insurance programs discriminate against persons with
        severe mental illnesses by providing more restrictive coverage
        for treatments of those illnesses compared to coverage provided
        for treatments of other medical problems;
            (3) many health insurance plans limit the number of days
        allowed for facility care or limit the number of outpatient
        visits allowed for the treatment of severe mental illnesses
        while providing no limit for the treatment of other physical
        illnesses;
            (4) only 21 percent of all health insurance policies
        provide inpatient coverage for severe mental illnesses
        comparable to coverage for other illnesses, and only 2 percent
        have comparable outpatient coverage;
            (5) only 2 percent of Americans with private health care
        coverage have policies that adequately and fairly cover severe
        mental illnesses;
            (6) over 60 percent of health maintenance and preferred
        provider organizations specifically exclude treatment for those
        with severe mental illnesses;
            (7) private health insurance provides some type of coverage
        for 64 percent of all individuals with severe mental illness,
        but provides only 46 percent of the annual expenditures
        required for the treatment of severe mental illnesses;
            (8) health care reform plans designed to make health care
        more accessible and affordable often incorporate the policies
        that are discriminatory with respect to persons with severe
        mental illnesses which now exist in common private health
        insurance plans;
            (9) unequal health insurance coverage contributes to the
        destructive and unfair stigmatization of persons with severe
        mental illnesses, illnesses that are beyond the control of the
        individuals, just like cancer, diabetes, and other serious
        physical health problems;
            (10) schizophrenia strikes more than 2,500,000 Americans
        over the course of their lifetimes, and approximately 30
        percent of all hospitalized psychiatric patients in the United
        States suffer from this most disabling group of mental
        disorders;
            (11) left untreated, severe mental illnesses are some of
        the most disabling and destructive illnesses afflicting
        Americans;
            (12) studies have found that up to 90 percent of all
        persons who commit suicide suffer from a treatable severe
        mental illness, such as schizophrenia, depression, or manic
        depressive illness;
            (13) some 10 percent of all inmates, or 100,000 people, in
        prisons and jails in the United States suffer from
        schizophrenia or manic-depressive psychosis;
            (14) severe mental illness places an individual at high
        risk for homelessness, as approximately one-third of the
        Nation's 600,000 homeless persons suffer from severe mental
        illnesses;
            (15) many persons suffering from severe mental illnesses
        can be treated effectively but ignorance and stigma continue to
        prevent many mentally ill individuals from obtaining help;
            (16) seventy to 80 percent of those suffering from
        depression respond quickly to treatment and 80 percent of the
        victims of schizophrenia can be relieved of acute symptoms with
        proper medication;
            (17) about 95 percent of what is known about both normal
        and abnormal structure and function of the brain has been
        learned in the last 10 years, but millions of severely mentally
        ill people have yet to benefit from these startling research
        advances in clinical and basic neuroscience;
            (18) ensuring adequate health insurance coverage for the
        treatment of severe mental illnesses can reduce health and
        societal costs by as much as $2,200,000,000 annually by
        preventing more costly interventions in the lives of persons
        with untreated severe mental illnesses and by helping those
        with severe mental illnesses, many of whom are young adults,
        remain productive members of society; and
            (19) legislation to reform the health care system should
        not condone or perpetuate discrimination against persons with
        severe mental illnesses.

SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    (a) In General.--It is the policy of the United States that--
            (1) persons with severe mental illnesses must not be
        discriminated against in the health care system; and
            (2) health care coverage, whether provided through public
        or private health insurance or any other means of financing,
        must provide for the treatment of severe mental illnesses in a
        manner that is equitable and commensurate with that provided
        for other major physical illnesses.
    (b) Construction.--Subsection (a) shall not be construed to
preclude the adoption of laws or policies requiring or providing for
appropriate and equitable coverage for other mental health services.

SEC. 4. NONDISCRIMINATORY AND EQUITABLE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE.

    With respect to persons with severe mental illnesses, to be
considered nondiscriminatory and equitable under this Act, health care
coverage shall cover services that are essential to the effective
treatment of severe mental illnesses in a manner that--
            (1) is not more restrictive than coverage provided for
        other major physical illnesses;
            (2) provides adequate financial protection to the person
        requiring the medical treatment for a severe mental illness;
        and
            (3) is consistent with effective and common methods of
        controlling health care costs for other major physical
        illnesses.

SEC. 5. COMMITMENT TO POLICY.

    It is the purpose of this Act to commit the Congress and the
Executive Branch to incorporating the policy set forth in section 3
through efforts, including the enactment of legislation, which are
intended to improve access to or control the costs of health care.

SEC. 6. DEFINITION.

    As used in this Act, the term ``severe mental illness'' means an
illness that is defined through diagnosis, disability and duration, and
includes disorders with psychotic symptoms such as schizophrenia,
schizoaffective disorder, manic depressive disorder, autism, as well as

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Give Judge Venckiene Her Day in
Court Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Judge Neringa Venckiene fled to the United States in
        2013 and requested political asylum after a 5-year battle in
        Lithuania to secure justice for her 4-year-old niece, Deimante
        Kedyte, who reported that she was being sexually molested by
        Lithuanian government officials while in her mother's care.
            (2) Deimante Kedyte's claims of sexual molestation were
        evaluated by court-ordered psychologists and psychiatrists and
        deemed to be credible.
            (3) Deimante Kedyte accused of sexual molestation an
        assistant to the Speaker of the Parliament and a sitting judge,
        both associates of her mother.
            (4) Judge Venckiene and Deimante Kedyte's father petitioned
        law enforcement and the courts for full investigation of
        Deimante's claims against the accused individuals, but believed
        the ensuing investigation to be negligent.
            (5) Lithuania's parliament (Legal and Judiciary Committees)
        issued a report in 2010 that deemed the investigation into
        Deimante Kedyte's sexual molestation accusations to be
        negligent and found that the negligence had compromised the
        case against the public officials.
            (6) After Deimante Kedyte's father went missing in 2009,
        Judge Venckiene was awarded guardianship of Deimante.
            (7) Deimante Kedyte's mother was never indicted for
        complicity in the sexual molestation despite a Vilnius District
        Court Ruling in October 2009 that there was enough evidence to
        indict her.
            (8) In December 2011, Judge Venckiene was ordered to give
        Deimante Kedyte, then 7 years old, back to her mother, but
        Deimante refused to return to her mother, indicating fear of
        sexual molestation.
            (9) Hundreds of Lithuanians kept vigil outside Judge
        Venckiene's house to prevent the Lithuanian Government from
        removing Deimante Kedyte.
            (10) In May 2012, the Lithuanian Government sent more than
        200 police officers to take Deimante Kedyte from Judge
        Venckiene by force.
            (11) Deimante Kedyte clung to Judge Venckiene, was ripped
        from her, was carried away shrieking, and has completely
        disappeared from public view for the last 6 years.
            (12) The Lithuanian Government's action resulted in
        protests against the Lithuanian Government in Lithuania and at
        numerous Lithuanian embassies around the world, as well as in
        the United States when the Lithuanian President attended the
        NATO summit in Chicago in May 2012.
            (13) Judge Venckiene published a book entitled ``Way of
        Courage'' in 2012 about Deimante Kedyte's ordeal and
        Lithuania's failure to properly investigate and prosecute the
        case against the government officials.
            (14) ``Way of Courage'' became the name of a new, anti-
        corruption, anti-pedophilia political party in Lithuania, which
        elected Judge Venckiene to Lithuania's parliament in 2012.
            (15) Judge Venckiene sought political asylum in the United
        States in 2013 after she received threats and experienced what
        she believed was an attempt on her life following a political
        rally, and after the Lithuanian Government moved to lift Judge
        Venckiene's parliamentary immunity.
            (16) The Lithuanian Government has systematically
        prosecuted for ``false statements'' and other crimes the
        journalists, a medical professional, Deimante Kedyte's
        grandparents, Judge Venckiene's neighbor, people who attended
        rallies on her behalf, and many others who came forward with
        evidence or support of Deimante Kedyte's claims of sexual
        molestation or who opposed the violent removal of Deimante from
        Judge Venckiene.
            (17) Lithuania has leveled more than 35 charges against
        Judge Venckiene, including charges for filing petitions on
        behalf of Deimante Kedyte with Lithuania's courts and the
        Child's Rights Ombudsman, making statements critical of the
        investigation to journalists, describing in her book the sexual
        molestation case against and naming the public officials,
        involvement in ``unauthorized protests'', ``humiliating the
        court'', desecrating the national anthem, conducting her own
        investigation into the case, failing to turn Deimante over to
        the accused mother, bruising an officer, and kicking at
        Deimante's mother when the mother tried to remove Deimante.
            (18) The extradition treaty signed by the United States and
        the Republic of Lithuania on October 23, 2001, does not permit
        for Judge Venckiene to offer counter-evidence in United States
        court to any of Lithuania's charges against her or to make the
        case for political motivation.
            (19) A United States Magistrate Judge in April 2018
        approved extradition for charges that Judge Venckiene hindered
        the activities of a bailiff, failed to comply with a court's
        decision not associated with a penalty, caused physical pain,
        and resisted against a civil servant or a person performing the
        functions of public administration--all charges related to
        Deimante Kedyte being taken from Judge Venckiene's home and
        returned to the accused mother.
            (20) Former political prisoners, as well as current and
        former government officials in Lithuania have written to the
        United States Government, warning that the Lithuanian
        Government's charges against Judge Venckiene are politically
        motivated.
            (21) The Chairman of the Supreme Court of Lithuania
        Gintaras Kryzevicius has been reported as publicly saying that
        Judge Venckiene ``is an abscess in the legal system and an
        abscess in the political system'' and ``the trouble of the
        whole state''.
            (22) Sweden, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Denmark, Malta,
        Ukraine, and Russia have all refused to extradite individuals
        to Lithuania.
            (23) Judge Venckiene can present evidence concerning the
        political motivation of Lithuania's charges against her before
        an immigration judge if she is excluded from the extradition
        treaty and allowed to proceed with her political asylum case,
        filed in 2013 and scheduled to be heard in July 2019.

SEC. 3. EXCLUSION FROM EXTRADITION TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF
              AMERICA AND THE REPUBLIC OF LITHUANIA.

    (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, Judge
Neringa Venckiene shall be excluded from extradition under the

(as amended by the Protocol on the Application of the Agreement on
Extradition between the Unites States of America and the European Union
to the Extradition Treaty between the Government of the United States
of America and the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, signed at
Brussels on June 15, 2005, and entered into force on February 1, 2010),
and excluded from all other laws allowing for her extradition to
Lithuania.
    (b) Political Asylum.--Judge Neringa Venckiene shall be permitted
to remain in the United States until a final order is issued with
respect to her pending application for asylum.
    (c) Free Movement.--Judge Neringa Venckiene shall not be held in
Federal or State prison or detention for any immigration-related or
extradition-related offense and shall be allowed free movement and
continued work permission until a final order is issued with respect to
her pending application for asylum.

Summary: Provides for the relief of Judge Neringa Venckiene, who the Government of Lithuania seeks on charges related to her pursuit of justice against Lithuanian public officials accused of sexually molesting her young niece.

        for any fiscal year that are available to carry out subsection
        (h) may, in accordance with regulations of the Commission, be
        made available for obligation by the recipient on the basis of
        an academic or school year differing from such fiscal year.

        appropriated shall remain available for obligation and
        expenditure during such succeeding fiscal year.
            ``(4) Apportionment of funds.--Funds from any such
        appropriation shall be apportioned in accordance with
        regulations prescribed by the Commission to carry out the

Allow such funds to be available on a school year basis in lieu of a fiscal year basis. Amends the Internal Revenue Code to establish the Telecommunications Trust Fund for the deposit of amounts appropriated for universal services support. Transfers to such Fund 100 percent of amounts received in the Treasury after December 31, 1998, as certain communications excise taxes.
