This file contains bill summaries and statuses for federal legislation. A bill summary describes the most significant provisions of a piece of legislation and details the effects the legislative text may have on current law and federal programs. Bill summaries are authored by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) of the Library of Congress. As stated in Public Law 91-510 (2 USC 166 (d)(6)), one of the duties of CRS is "to prepare summaries and digests of bills and resolutions of a public general nature introduced in the Senate or House of Representatives".

Permits the following exceptions: (1) if the application of sewage sludge ended more than one year before the production of the food commenced; (2) if a labeling requirement is met; or (3) in the case of a food that is generally offered for sale without labeling, if an informative sign is posted near the product.<p>Amends the Egg Products Inspection Act, the Federal Meat Inspection Act, and the Poultry Products Inspection Act to classify specified foods under those Acts as adulterated if sewage sludge was involved in specified ways in their production. Allows exceptions for each food similar to those to be permitted under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.<p>States that nothing in this Act shall be construed to modify the prohibition under a specified Federal regulation on the use of sewage sludge in organic food production under the National Organic Program of the Department of Agriculture.

Baseball Diplomacy Act - Waives certain foreign assistance and trade and travel prohibitions against Cuba under specified Federal law with regard to certain transactions, including: (1) Cuban nationals who enter the United States on visas to play organized professional baseball; and (2) the return of their baseball earnings to Cuba. Prohibits the President from denying visas to such nationals based upon authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act to restrict any entry of aliens or class of aliens that would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. Declares that this Act shall not be affected by the economic embargo requirements against Cuba under the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act of 1996.

Amends the Microenterprise for Self-Reliance Act of 2000 to make as one of its purposes that in implementation of this Act at least 50 percent of all microenterprise assistance be targeted to the very poor, that is, those persons living either in the bottom 50 percent below the poverty line or on less than the equivalent of one dollar per day.<p>Amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1964 to authorize the President to provide assistance to increase the availability of financial services (not just credit) to microenterprise households lacking full access to credit, including through: (1) loans and guarantees to microfinance institutions to expand the availability of savings and credit to poor and low-income households; (2) training programs to enable such institutions to better meet the financial services needs of their clients; and (3) training programs to enable clients to make better use of credit, increase their financial literacy, and to better manage their enterprises to improve their quality of life.<p>Declares that, in order to maximize the sustainable development impact of microenterprise development grant assistance authorized under the Act, the Administrator of the agency primarily responsible for administering such assistance shall establish a monitoring system that, among other things, adopts the widespread use of proven and effective poverty assessment tools to identify the poorest of the poor and ensure that they receive needed microenterprise credits, loans, and assistance. Requires the Administrator of the Agency for International Development to develop and certify no fewer than two low-cost methods for measuring the poverty levels of the current or prospective clients of microenterprise organizations for purposes of the provision of microenterprise development grant assistance.

<p><b>(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary has been expanded because action occurred on the measure.)</b></p> Amends the Microenterprise for Self-Reliance Act of 2000 to make as one of its purposes that in implementation of this Act at least 50 percent of all microenterprise assistance be targeted to the very poor, that is, those persons living either in the bottom 50 percent below the poverty line or on less than the equivalent of one dollar per day. <p>(Sec. 2) Amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to revise congressional findings and policy with respect to the micro- and small enterprise development credits program to declare that it is in the best interests of the United States to assist the access to financial services and the development of microenterprises in developing countries, and to engage the U.S. private sector in such process. Authorizes the President to provide assistance to increase the availability of financial services (not just credit) to microenterprise households lacking full access to credit, including through: (1) loans and guarantees to microfinance institutions for the purpose of expanding the availability of savings and credit to poor and low-income households; (2) training programs to enable microfinance institutions to better meet the financial services needs of their clients; and (3) training programs to enable clients to make better use of credit, increase their financial literacy, and to better manage their enterprises. <p>Revises program eligibility criteria to require the Administrator of the agency primarily responsible for administering such program to establish criteria for determining which microfinance institutions are eligible to carry out program activities with respect to microenterprise households assisted under this Act. Limits the use of such assistance to support programs for microenterprise households. <p>Authorizes appropriations through FY 2004. <p>(Sec. 3) Revises congressional findings and policy with respect to the microenterprise development grant assistance program to declare that: (1) access to financial services and the development of microenterprise are vital factors in the stable growth of developing countries, and therefore it is in the best interest of the United States to facilitate access to financial services and assist the development of microenterprise in developing countries; (2) access to such services and the development of microenterprises can be supported by programs providing credit, savings, training, technical assistance, business development services, and other financial and non-financial services; and (3) microenterprise programs should target both rural and urban poor given the high percentage of population living, and incidence of poverty, in such areas. <p>Urges the President to continue support for central mechanisms and missions that, among other things, support the development of nonprofit global microfinance networks, including credit union systems, that are able to deliver financial services to poor entrepreneurs through a significant grassroots infrastructure based on market principles, and act as wholesale intermediaries providing a range of services to microenterprise retail institutions. <p>Declares that, in order to maximize the sustainable development impact of microenterprise development grant assistance, the Administrator of the agency primarily responsible for administering such assistance shall establish a monitoring system that, among other things, adopts the widespread use of proven and effective poverty assessment tools to successfully identify the very poor and ensure that they receive needed microenterprise loans, savings, and assistance. Requires the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) to develop and certify no fewer than two low-cost methods for partner institutions to use to assess the poverty levels of their current or prospective clients for purposes of the provision of microenterprise development grant assistance. Directs the Administrator to require all organizations applying for microenterprise assistance under this Act to use one of the certified methods to determine and report the poverty levels of such clients and to demonstrate their ability to reach the very poor. <p>Authorizes appropriations through FY 2004. <p>(Sec. 4) Directs the Administrator to submit to Congress a report that documents the process of developing and applying poverty assessment procedures with its partners. <p>Directs the Administrator to submit annually to Congress a report that addresses AID's compliance with the Microenterprise for Self-Reliance Act of 2000 by documenting: (1) the percentage of its resources that were allocated to the very poor based on data collected from its partners using the certified methods; and (2) the absolute number of the very poor reached.

The expanded summary of the House passed version is repeated here.)</b></p> Amends the Microenterprise for Self-Reliance Act of 2000 to make as one of its purposes that in implementation of this Act at least 50 percent of all microenterprise assistance be targeted to the very poor, that is, those persons living either in the bottom 50 percent below the poverty line or on less than the equivalent of one dollar per day. <p>(Sec. 2) Amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to revise congressional findings and policy with respect to the micro- and small enterprise development credits program to declare that it is in the best interests of the United States to assist the access to financial services and the development of microenterprises in developing countries, and to engage the U.S. private sector in such process. Authorizes the President to provide assistance to increase the availability of financial services (not just credit) to microenterprise households lacking full access to credit, including through: (1) loans and guarantees to microfinance institutions for the purpose of expanding the availability of savings and credit to poor and low-income households; (2) training programs to enable microfinance institutions to better meet the financial services needs of their clients; and (3) training programs to enable clients to make better use of credit, increase their financial literacy, and to better manage their enterprises. <p>Revises program eligibility criteria to require the Administrator of the agency primarily responsible for administering such program to establish criteria for determining which microfinance institutions are eligible to carry out program activities with respect to microenterprise households assisted under this Act. Limits the use of such assistance to support programs for microenterprise households. <p>Authorizes appropriations through FY 2004. <p>(Sec. 3) Revises congressional findings and policy with respect to the microenterprise development grant assistance program to declare that: (1) access to financial services and the development of microenterprise are vital factors in the stable growth of developing countries, and therefore it is in the best interest of the United States to facilitate access to financial services and assist the development of microenterprise in developing countries; (2) access to such services and the development of microenterprises can be supported by programs providing credit, savings, training, technical assistance, business development services, and other financial and non-financial services; and (3) microenterprise programs should target both rural and urban poor given the high percentage of population living, and incidence of poverty, in such areas. <p>Urges the President to continue support for central mechanisms and missions that, among other things, support the development of nonprofit global microfinance networks, including credit union systems, that are able to deliver financial services to poor entrepreneurs through a significant grassroots infrastructure based on market principles, and act as wholesale intermediaries providing a range of services to microenterprise retail institutions. <p>Declares that, in order to maximize the sustainable development impact of microenterprise development grant assistance, the Administrator of the agency primarily responsible for administering such assistance shall establish a monitoring system that, among other things, adopts the widespread use of proven and effective poverty assessment tools to successfully identify the very poor and ensure that they receive needed microenterprise loans, savings, and assistance. Requires the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) to develop and certify no fewer than two low-cost methods for partner institutions to use to assess the poverty levels of their current or prospective clients for purposes of the provision of microenterprise development grant assistance. Directs the Administrator to require all organizations applying for microenterprise assistance under this Act to use one of the certified methods to determine and report the poverty levels of such clients and to demonstrate their ability to reach the very poor. <p>Authorizes appropriations through FY 2004. <p>(Sec. 4) Directs the Administrator to submit to Congress a report that documents the process of developing and applying poverty assessment procedures with its partners. <p>Directs the Administrator to submit annually to Congress a report that addresses AID's compliance with the Microenterprise for Self-Reliance Act of 2000 by documenting: (1) the percentage of its resources that were allocated to the very poor based on data collected from its partners using the certified methods; and (2) the absolute number of the very poor reached.",

The summary has been expanded because action occurred on the measure.)</b></p> Amends the Microenterprise for Self-Reliance Act of 2000 to make as one of its purposes that in implementation of this Act at least 50 percent of all microenterprise assistance be targeted to the very poor, that is, those persons living either in the bottom 50 percent below the poverty line or on less than the equivalent of one dollar per day. <p>(Sec. 2) Amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to revise congressional findings and policy with respect to the micro- and small enterprise development credits program to declare that it is in the best interests of the United States to assist the access to financial services and the development of microenterprises in developing countries, and to engage the U.S. private sector in such process. Authorizes the President to provide assistance to increase the availability of financial services (not just credit) to microenterprise households lacking full access to credit, including through: (1) loans and guarantees to microfinance institutions for the purpose of expanding the availability of savings and credit to poor and low-income households; (2) training programs to enable microfinance institutions to better meet the financial services needs of their clients; and (3) training programs to enable clients to make better use of credit, increase their financial literacy, and to better manage their enterprises. <p>Revises program eligibility criteria to require the Administrator of the agency primarily responsible for administering such program to establish criteria for determining which microfinance institutions are eligible to carry out program activities with respect to microenterprise households assisted under this Act. Limits the use of such assistance to support programs for microenterprise households. <p>Authorizes appropriations through FY 2004. <p>(Sec. 3) Revises congressional findings and policy with respect to the microenterprise development grant assistance program to declare that: (1) access to financial services and the development of microenterprise are vital factors in the stable growth of developing countries, and therefore it is in the best interest of the United States to facilitate access to financial services and assist the development of microenterprise in developing countries; (2) access to such services and the development of microenterprises can be supported by programs providing credit, savings, training, technical assistance, business development services, and other financial and non-financial services; and (3) microenterprise programs should target both rural and urban poor given the high percentage of population living, and incidence of poverty, in such areas. <p>Urges the President to continue support for central mechanisms and missions that, among other things, support the development of nonprofit global microfinance networks, including credit union systems, that are able to deliver financial services to poor entrepreneurs through a significant grassroots infrastructure based on market principles, and act as wholesale intermediaries providing a range of services to microenterprise retail institutions. <p>Declares that, in order to maximize the sustainable development impact of microenterprise development grant assistance, the Administrator of the agency primarily responsible for administering such assistance shall establish a monitoring system that, among other things, adopts the widespread use of proven and effective poverty assessment tools to successfully identify the very poor and ensure that they receive needed microenterprise loans, savings, and assistance. Requires the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) to develop and certify no fewer than two low-cost methods for partner institutions to use to assess the poverty levels of their current or prospective clients for purposes of the provision of microenterprise development grant assistance. Directs the Administrator to require all organizations applying for microenterprise assistance under this Act to use one of the certified methods to determine and report the poverty levels of such clients and to demonstrate their ability to reach the very poor. <p>Authorizes appropriations through FY 2004. <p>(Sec. 4) Directs the Administrator to submit to Congress a report that documents the process of developing and applying poverty assessment procedures with its partners. <p>Directs the Administrator to submit annually to Congress a report that addresses AID's compliance with the Microenterprise for Self-Reliance Act of 2000 by documenting: (1) the percentage of its resources that were allocated to the very poor based on data collected from its partners using the certified methods; and (2) the absolute number of the very poor reached.",

Authorizes the President to provide assistance to increase the availability of financial services (not just credit) to microenterprise households lacking full access to credit, including through: (1) loans and guarantees to microfinance institutions for the purpose of expanding the availability of savings and credit to poor and low-income households; (2) training programs to enable microfinance institutions to better meet the financial services needs of their clients; and (3) training programs to enable clients to make better use of credit, increase their financial literacy, and to better manage their enterprises. <p>Revises program eligibility criteria to require the Administrator of the agency primarily responsible for administering such program to establish criteria for determining which microfinance institutions are eligible to carry out program activities with respect to microenterprise households assisted under this Act.

Informed Choice Act - Allows the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make grants to free community based pregnancy help medical clinics for the purchase of ultrasound equipment, which shall be used to provide free ultrasound examinations to pregnant women. Requires each grant recipient to undertake certain actions, including to: (1) provide to each woman receiving services a visual image of the fetus from the ultrasound examination and a general anatomical and physiological description of the characteristics of the fetus; and (2) provide information on abortion and alternatives to abortion such as childbirth and adoption, and information concerning public and private agencies that will assist in those alternatives. Limits each grant to a maximum amount of 50 percent of the purchase price cost of the ultrasound machine involved or $20,000, whichever is less.

Acid Rain Control Act - Amends the Clean Air Act to require further reductions in total annual emissions of sulfur dioxide by utility units and nitrogen oxides by facilities with one or more combustion units serving at least one electricity generator with a capacity of at least 25 megawatts. Permits emissions trading and allocation.<p>Requires the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to promulgate regulations controlling electric utility and industrial source emissions of mercury. Prohibits mercury emission allowance transfers.<p>Requires that these emissions regulations prevent localized adverse effects and ensure significant reductions on both coasts.<p>Directs the Administrator to identify for and report to Congress on scientifically credible environmental indicators sufficient to protect sensitive ecosystems of the Adirondack, mid-Appalachian, Rocky and Southern Blue Ridge Mountains as well as the Great Lakes, Lake Champlain, Long Island Sound, and the Chesapeake Bay.

Amends the Controlled Substances Act to modify the definition of "immediate precursor" to include a substance which the Attorney General has designated as the immediate chemical precursor of an anabolic steroid that has been scheduled as a controlled substance which either is a metabolite of a scheduled anabolic steroid or is transformed in the body directly into a scheduled anabolic steroid or the metabolite of a scheduled anabolic steroid.<p>Authorizes the Attorney General to place the immediate precursor of a scheduled anabolic steroid in the same schedule as that anabolic steroid or in any other schedule with a higher numerical designation (without regard to specified requirements, including the requirement that a substance promote muscle growth). States that once such an immediate precursor is placed in a schedule, it becomes a controlled substance and the Attorney General may schedule an immediate precursor of that substance.<p>Authorizes the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy to undertake education programs at the grade and high school levels to highlight the harmful effects of steroids and steroid precursor use by youths. Requires the Director to use funds made available for such programs for existing State and local anti-drug programs, primarily for education programs that directly communicate with teachers, principals, coaches, and children at the school level on the harmful effects of steroids and steroid precursors.

Social Security Preservation Act of 2003 - Amends title II (Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance) (OASDI) of the Social Security Act to require the Managing Trustee of the Board of Trustees of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund (social security trust funds) to ensure that the annual surplus of the Social Security Trust Funds is invested in: (1) marketable interest-bearing obligations of the United States or obligations guaranteed by the United States; or (2) certificates of deposit in insured depository institutions. Outlines provisions for determining the annual surplus of the Trust Funds.<p>Prohibits disinvestment of Social Security Trust Fund amounts from public debt obligations, any refraining from making such investments, or any delay in making normal deposits in such Trust Funds for public debt limit-related purposes. Authorizes, with certain conditions, the sale of Social Security Trust Fund public debt obligations for the payment of cash benefits and administrative expenses.

Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2003 - Prohibits any person or entity, in or affecting interstate commerce, from knowingly: (1) performing or attempting to perform human cloning; (2) participating in such an attempt; (3) shipping or receiving an embryo produced by human cloning; or (4) importing such an embryo.<p>Sets forth criminal and civil penalties.<p>Provides that nothing in this Act restricts areas of scientific research not specifically prohibited above, including research in the use of nuclear transfer or other cloning techniques to produce molecules, DNA, cells other than human embryos, tissues, organs, plants, or animals other than humans.<p>Directs the General Accounting Office to assess the need for amendment of such prohibition, including through: (1) a discussion of new developments, the need for somatic cell transfer to produce medical advances, current public attitudes and prevailing ethical views concerning its use, and potential legal implications of somatic cell transfer research; and (2) a review of any technological developments that may require technical changes to such prohibition.

Student Bill of Rights - Directs the Secretary of Education to make annual determinations as to whether each State's public school system provides all its students with educational resources to succeed academically and in life. Requires such education to enable students to: (1) acquire knowledge and skills necessary for responsible citizenship; (2) meet challenging academic achievement standards; and (3) compete and succeed in a global economy.<p>Requires each system to do so through: (1) providing specified fundamentals of educational opportunity to students at each public elementary and secondary school; (2) providing educational services in school districts that receive funds for disadvantaged students that are, taken as a whole, at least comparable to educational services provided in school districts not receiving such funds; and (3) complying with any final Federal or State court order in any matter concerning the adequacy or equitableness of the system.<p>Requires withholding of specified portions of its Federal funding for administrative expenses if a system: (1) fails to meet a yearly interim goal; (2) does not remedy, after two school years, a failure to provide comparable educational services to schools that receive funds for disadvantaged children; or (3) does not comply with a court order.<p>Allows students or parents aggrieved by violations of this Act to bring civil actions for enforcement in Federal district courts.<p>Directs the Commissioner of Education Statistics to study the effects of educational disparities on economic growth and on national defense.

Hybrid Vehicle Incentive Act - Amends Federal highway law to require a State to permit a hybrid vehicle with fewer than two occupants to operate in high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. Defines "hybrid vehicle" as a motor vehicle: (1) that draws propulsion energy from onboard sources of stored energy which are both an internal combustion or heat engine using combustible fuel and a rechargeable energy storage system; and (2) which (in the case of a passenger automobile or light truck) for 2002 and later models meets certain clean air requirements.

Peace Corps Charter for the 21st Century Act - Amends the Peace Corps Act to require all recruiting of volunteers to be carried out under the direction of the Director of the Peace Corps. Conditions the President's authority to detail or assign Peace Corps volunteers to certain Federal and State agencies and other entities upon a determination that such a detail or assignment does not contradict the standing of such volunteers as being independent from foreign policy-making and intelligence collection.<p>Requires the Director of the Peace Corps to report to Congress on: (1) efforts undertaken to improve coordination of Peace Corps activities with activities of international voluntary service organizations, such as the United Nations (UN) volunteer program, and of host country voluntary service organizations; (2) any major new Peace Corps initiatives under review for the upcoming fiscal year or undertaken in the previous fiscal year; (3) the Peace Corp's plans for doubling the number of volunteers from 2002; (4) any standard or special security procedures for any country in which the Peace Corps operates programs or is considering doing so, including an assessment whether security conditions would be enhanced by colocating volunteers with international or local nongovernmental organizations or placing multiple volunteers in one location; (5) student loan forgiveness programs currently available to Peace Corps volunteers; and (6) initiatives the Peace Corps intends to pursue with eligible countries where the presence of volunteers would facilitate a greater understanding that there exists a universe of commonly shared human values and aspirations.<p>Requires the Director to develop a training program for all Peace Corps volunteers in the education, prevention, and treatment of infectious diseases.<p>Increases Peace Corps volunteer readjustment allowances from $125 to $275 a month.<p>Establishes a program to award grants to private nonprofit corporations to enable returned Peace Corps volunteers to use their knowledge and expertise to develop and carry out programs and projects that promote the goals of the Peace Corps.

Applies such exemption to that quantity of goods which does not exceed 125 percent of the quantity of the same goods that are products of the country and were imported by that importer in the preceding calendar year.

<p> <p> <p> <p> <p>Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2003 - (Sec. 3) Amends the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 to extend the national flood insurance program's authorization through September 30, 2008. <p>(Sec. 4) Establishes a pilot program for mitigation of severe repetitive loss properties. Authorizes the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), subject to specified limitations, to provide financial assistance to States and communities for taking actions with respect to severe repetitive loss properties to mitigate flood damage to such properties and losses to the National Flood Insurance Fund from such properties. <p>Defines &quot;severe repetitive loss property&quot; (SRLP) to mean, in the case of a property consisting of one to four residences, property that is covered under a contract for flood insurance and that has incurred flood-related damage for which either: (1) four or more separate claims payments have been made under flood insurance coverage before the date of this Act's enactment, with the amount of each claim exceeding $5,000, and with the cumulative amount of such claims payments exceeding $20,000; (2) four or more separate flood insurance claims payments have been made after enactment of this Act, with the amount of each claim exceeding $3,000, and with the cumulative amount of such payments exceeding $15,000; or (3) at least two separate claims payments have been made under such coverage, with the cumulative amount of such claims exceeding the value of the property. Defines SRLP, in the case of a property consisting of five or more residences, to have such meaning as the Director shall by regulation provide. <p>Authorizes amounts provided to a State or community to be used only to for the following activities (eligible activities): (1) carry out mitigation activities that reduce flood damages to SRLPs, including elevation, reallocation, demolition, and floodproofing of structures, and minor physical localized flood control projects; and (2) purchase SRLPs, subject to specified requirements. <p> Prohibits the Director from providing assistance to a State or community in an amount exceeding three times the amount that the State or community certifies that it will contribute from non-Federal funds for carrying out the eligible activities to be funded with such assistance amounts. Authorizes the Director to waive such limitation for any State, and for the communities located in that State, regarding a year in which: (1) five percent or more of the total number of SRLPs in the United States are located in such State; and (2) the State submits a plan specifying how the State intends to reduce the number of SRLPs and the Director determines that the State has taken actions to reduce that number. Allows, however, the Director to waive such limitation only to the extent that the State or community involved is required to contribute, for each SRLP for which grant amounts are provided, not less than ten percent of the cost of the activities for such properties that are to be funded with grant amounts. <p>Subjects the program for providing assistance for eligible activities for SRLPs to the following limitations. Requires that: (1) the Director, in determining the properties for which to provide assistance to eligible activities, provide assistance for properties in the order that will result in the greatest amount of savings to the Fund in the shortest period of time; (2) the Director provide assistance in a manner that permits States and communities to make offers to owners of SRLPs to take eligible activities as soon as is practicable; and (3) the State or community, upon making an offer to provide assistance , notify each holder of a recorded interest on the property of such offer and eligible activity. <p>Permits a State or community to take action to purchase a severe repetitive loss property only if the following requirements are met: (1) the State or community enters into an agreement with the Director that provides assurances that the property purchased will be used in a manner consistent with requirements under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act requiring that the property be open to the public and maintained as open space, recreational land, or wetlands; and (2) the amount of purchase offer is not less than the greatest of the amount of the original purchase price of the property when purchased by the holder of the current flood insurance policy, the total amount owed at the time the offer to purchase is made under any loan secured by a recorded interest on the property, an amount equal to the fair market value of the property immediately before the most recent flood event affecting the property, or an amount equal to the replacement value of the property immediately before the most recent flood event affecting the property (but only in the case of a property for which the State or community taking action determines, and the Director concurs, that the fair market value of the property is less than the purchase price of a replacement primary residence that is of comparable value, functionally equivalent, and located in the same community or market area but not in an area having special flood hazards). <p>Provides for increased premiums in cases where the owner of an SRLP refuses an offer of eligible activities. Limits the increased premiums to an amount exceeding the applicable estimated risk premium rate for the area or subdivision. Permits any increase in chargeable premium rates to be carried out by adjusting any deductible charged in connection with flood insurance coverage for the property. Requires the Director, upon each renewal or modification of flood insurance coverage, to notify the owner that the offer is still open. Establishes as grounds for appealing increased premiums that: (1) as a result of such action, the owner will not be able to purchase a replacement primary residence of comparable value that is functionally equivalent; (2) as a result of such action, the preservation or maintenance of any prehistoric or historic district, site, building structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of historic places will be interfered with, impaired, or disrupted; (3) the flooding that resulted in the flood insurance claims for the property resulted from significant actions by a third party in violation of law; or (4) in purchasing the property, the owner relied upon flood insurance rate maps of FEMA that were current at the time and did not indicate special flood hazards. Sets forth provisions regarding procedures, effect of a final determination, and costs. <p>Authorizes the Director to cancel the policy and deny new coverage, or refuse to renew the policy upon expiration and deny new coverage, upon determining that a fraudulent claim was made. <p>Authorizes the Director to use amounts from the Fund to provide assistance in each of FY 2004 through 2008, with a limitation. Prohibits the Director from providing assistance under the program after September 30, 2008. <p>(Sec. 5) Authorizes the Director to approve only mitigation plans that give priority for funding to repetitive insurance claims properties, or to such subsets of properties, as are in the best interest of the National Flood Insurance Fund. <p>Requires the Director, in providing grants for mitigation activities, to give first priority for funding to such properties or subsets of properties as the Director determines are in the best interest of the Fund. <p>Requires the Director to take appropriate actions to encourage and improve participation in the program of owners of properties, including owners that are not located in areas having special flood hazards but are located within the 100-year floodplain. <p>Limits funding to $40 million in each fiscal year from the Fund for repetitive insurance claims properties. <p>(Sec. 6) Authorizes the Director to provide funding for mitigation actions that reduce flood damages to individual properties for which one or more claim payments have been made under flood insurance coverage only if the Director determines that such activities: (1) are in the best interest of the Fund; and (2) cannot be funded under the repetitive insurance claims program because specified requirements are not being met by the State or community in which the property is located, or the State or community does not have the capacity to manage such activities. <p>Requires the Director, in determining the properties for which funding is to be provided, to consult with the States in which they are located and provide assistance in the order that will result in the greatest amount of savings to the Fund in the shortest period of time. Limits funding to $10 million in any fiscal year for mitigation actions under this section, with an exception. <p>(Sec. 7) Modifies provisions regarding chargeable premium rates for specified properties. Requires that the chargeable rate be not less than the applicable estimated risk premium rate for the area or subdivision with respect to any property leased from the Federal Government that the Director determines is located on the river-facing side of any dike, levee, or other riverine flood control structure, or seaward of any seawall or other coastal flood control structure. Makes annual limitations on premium increases inapplicable to such properties. <p>(Sec. 8) Authorizes the Director to establish and maintain a database identifying by location and address all repetitive loss structures and SRLPs. Requires the Director to make the database available to the public in a format that may be searched electronically. Prohibits such a database from including information regarding ownership of properties. <p>(Sec. 9) Provides that the placement of any mobile home on any site shall not affect the eligibility of any community to participate in the flood insurance program under the National Flood Insurance Act and under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 if such: (1) mobile home was previously located on the site and was relocated from that site because of flooding that threatened or affected the site; and (2) replacement is conducted not later than the expiration of the 180-day period that begins upon the subsidence (in the area of that site) of the body of water that flooded to a level considered lower than flood levels. <p>(Sec. 10) Requires the Director to accelerate the identification of risk zones within flood- and mudslide- prone areas.

"text": " <p> <p> <p> <p> <p>Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2003 - (Sec. 3) Amends the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 to extend the national flood insurance program's authorization through September 30, 2008. <p>(Sec. 4) Establishes a pilot program for mitigation of severe repetitive loss properties. Authorizes the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), subject to specified limitations, to provide financial assistance to States and communities for taking actions with respect to severe repetitive loss properties to mitigate flood damage to such properties and losses to the National Flood Insurance Fund from such properties. <p>Defines "severe repetitive loss property" (SRLP) to mean, in the case of a property consisting of one to four residences, property that is covered under a contract for flood insurance and that has incurred flood-related damage for which either: (1) four or more separate claims payments have been made under flood insurance coverage before the date of this Act's enactment, with the amount of each claim exceeding $5,000, and with the cumulative amount of such claims payments exceeding $20,000; (2) four or more separate flood insurance claims payments have been made after enactment of this Act, with the amount of each claim exceeding $3,000, and with the cumulative amount of such payments exceeding $15,000; or (3) at least two separate claims payments have been made under such coverage, with the cumulative amount of such claims exceeding the value of the property. Defines SRLP, in the case of a property consisting of five or more residences, to have such meaning as the Director shall by regulation provide. <p>Authorizes amounts provided to a State or community to be used only to for the following activities (eligible activities): (1) carry out mitigation activities that reduce flood damages to SRLPs, including elevation, reallocation, demolition, and floodproofing of structures, and minor physical localized flood control projects; and (2) purchase SRLPs, subject to specified requirements. <p> Prohibits the Director from providing assistance to a State or community in an amount exceeding three times the amount that the State or community certifies that it will contribute from non-Federal funds for carrying out the eligible activities to be funded with such assistance amounts. Authorizes the Director to waive such limitation for any State, and for the communities located in that State, regarding a year in which: (1) five percent or more of the total number of SRLPs in the United States are located in such State; and (2) the State submits a plan specifying how the State intends to reduce the number of SRLPs and the Director determines that the State has taken actions to reduce that number. Allows, however, the Director to waive such limitation only to the extent that the State or community involved is required to contribute, for each SRLP for which grant amounts are provided, not less than ten percent of the cost of the activities for such properties that are to be funded with grant amounts. <p>Subjects the program for providing assistance for eligible activities for SRLPs to the following limitations. Requires that: (1) the Director, in determining the properties for which to provide assistance to eligible activities, provide assistance for properties in the order that will result in the greatest amount of savings to the Fund in the shortest period of time; (2) the Director provide assistance in a manner that permits States and communities to make offers to owners of SRLPs to take eligible activities as soon as is practicable; and (3) the State or community, upon making an offer to provide assistance , notify each holder of a recorded interest on the property of such offer and eligible activity. <p>Permits a State or community to take action to purchase a severe repetitive loss property only if the following requirements are met: (1) the State or community enters into an agreement with the Director that provides assurances that the property purchased will be used in a manner consistent with requirements under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act requiring that the property be open to the public and maintained as open space, recreational land, or wetlands; and (2) the amount of purchase offer is not less than the greatest of the amount of the original purchase price of the property when purchased by the holder of the current flood insurance policy, the total amount owed at the time the offer to purchase is made under any loan secured by a recorded interest on the property, an amount equal to the fair market value of the property immediately before the most recent flood event affecting the property, or an amount equal to the replacement value of the property immediately before the most recent flood event affecting the property (but only in the case of a property for which the State or community taking action determines, and the Director concurs, that the fair market value of the property is less than the purchase price of a replacement primary residence that is of comparable value, functionally equivalent, and located in the same community or market area but not in an area having special flood hazards). <p>Provides for increased premiums in cases where the owner of an SRLP refuses an offer of eligible activities. Limits the increased premiums to an amount exceeding the applicable estimated risk premium rate for the area or subdivision. Permits any increase in chargeable premium rates to be carried out by adjusting any deductible charged in connection with flood insurance coverage for the property. Requires the Director, upon each renewal or modification of flood insurance coverage, to notify the owner that the offer is still open. Establishes as grounds for appealing increased premiums that: (1) as a result of such action, the owner will not be able to purchase a replacement primary residence of comparable value that is functionally equivalent; (2) as a result of such action, the preservation or maintenance of any prehistoric or historic district, site, building structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of historic places will be interfered with, impaired, or disrupted; (3) the flooding that resulted in the flood insurance claims for the property resulted from significant actions by a third party in violation of law; or (4) in purchasing the property, the owner relied upon flood insurance rate maps of FEMA that were current at the time and did not indicate special flood hazards. Sets forth provisions regarding procedures, effect of a final determination, and costs. <p>Authorizes the Director to cancel the policy and deny new coverage, or refuse to renew the policy upon expiration and deny new coverage, upon determining that a fraudulent claim was made. <p>Authorizes the Director to use amounts from the Fund to provide assistance in each of FY 2004 through 2008, with a limitation. Prohibits the Director from providing assistance under the program after September 30, 2008. <p>(Sec. 5) Authorizes the Director to approve only mitigation plans that give priority for funding to repetitive insurance claims properties, or to such subsets of properties, as are in the best interest of the National Flood Insurance Fund. <p>Requires the Director, in providing grants for mitigation activities, to give first priority for funding to such properties or subsets of properties as the Director determines are in the best interest of the Fund. <p>Requires the Director to take appropriate actions to encourage and improve participation in the program of owners of properties, including owners that are not located in areas having special flood hazards but are located within the 100-year floodplain. <p>Limits funding to $40 million in each fiscal year from the Fund for repetitive insurance claims properties. <p>(Sec. 6) Authorizes the Director to provide funding for mitigation actions that reduce flood damages to individual properties for which one or more claim payments have been made under flood insurance coverage only if the Director determines that such activities: (1) are in the best interest of the Fund; and (2) cannot be funded under the repetitive insurance claims program because specified requirements are not being met by the State or community in which the property is located, or the State or community does not have the capacity to manage such activities. <p>Requires the Director, in determining the properties for which funding is to be provided, to consult with the States in which they are located and provide assistance in the order that will result in the greatest amount of savings to the Fund in the shortest period of time. Limits funding to $10 million in any fiscal year for mitigation actions under this section, with an exception. <p>(Sec. 7) Modifies provisions regarding chargeable premium rates for specified properties. Requires that the chargeable rate be not less than the applicable estimated risk premium rate for the area or subdivision with respect to any property leased from the Federal Government that the Director determines is located on the river-facing side of any dike, levee, or other riverine flood control structure, or seaward of any seawall or other coastal flood control structure. Makes annual limitations on premium increases inapplicable to such properties. <p>(Sec. 8) Authorizes the Director to establish and maintain a database identifying by location and address all repetitive loss structures and SRLPs. Requires the Director to make the database available to the public in a format that may be searched electronically. Prohibits such a database from including information regarding ownership of properties. <p>(Sec. 9) Provides that the placement of any mobile home on any site shall not affect the eligibility of any community to participate in the flood insurance program under the National Flood Insurance Act and under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 if such: (1) mobile home was previously located on the site and was relocated from that site because of flooding that threatened or affected the site; and (2) replacement is conducted not later than the expiration of the 180-day period that begins upon the subsidence (in the area of that site) of the body of water that flooded to a level considered lower than flood levels. <p>(Sec. 10) Requires the Director to accelerate the identification of risk zones within flood- and mudslide- prone areas.",

"text": " <p> <p> <p> <p> <p>Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2003 - (Sec. 3) Amends the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 to extend the national flood insurance program's authorization through September 30, 2008. <p>(Sec. 4) Establishes a pilot program for mitigation of severe repetitive loss properties. Authorizes the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), subject to specified limitations, to provide financial assistance to States and communities for taking actions with respect to severe repetitive loss properties to mitigate flood damage to such properties and losses to the National Flood Insurance Fund from such properties. <p>Defines "severe repetitive loss property" (SRLP) to mean, in the case of a property consisting of one to four residences, property that is covered under a contract for flood insurance and that has incurred flood-related damage for which either: (1) four or more separate claims payments have been made under flood insurance coverage before the date of this Act's enactment, with the amount of each claim exceeding $5,000, and with the cumulative amount of such claims payments exceeding $20,000; (2) four or more separate flood insurance claims payments have been made after enactment of this Act, with the amount of each claim exceeding $3,000, and with the cumulative amount of such payments exceeding $15,000; or (3) at least two separate claims payments have been made under such coverage, with the cumulative amount of such claims exceeding the value of the property. Defines SRLP, in the case of a property consisting of five or more residences, to have such meaning as the Director shall by regulation provide. <p>Authorizes amounts provided to a State or community to be used only to for the following activities (eligible activities): (1) carry out mitigation activities that reduce flood damages to SRLPs, including elevation, reallocation, demolition, and floodproofing of structures, and minor physical localized flood control projects; and (2) purchase SRLPs, subject to specified requirements. <p> Prohibits the Director from providing assistance to a State or community in an amount exceeding three times the amount that the State or community certifies that it will contribute from non-Federal funds for carrying out the eligible activities to be funded with such assistance amounts. Authorizes the Director to waive such limitation for any State, and for the communities located in that State, regarding a year in which: (1) five percent or more of the total number of SRLPs in the United States are located in such State; and (2) the State submits a plan specifying how the State intends to reduce the number of SRLPs and the Director determines that the State has taken actions to reduce that number. Allows, however, the Director to waive such limitation only to the extent that the State or community involved is required to contribute, for each SRLP for which grant amounts are provided, not less than ten percent of the cost of the activities for such properties that are to be funded with grant amounts. <p>Subjects the program for providing assistance for eligible activities for SRLPs to the following limitations. Requires that: (1) the Director, in determining the properties for which to provide assistance to eligible activities, provide assistance for properties in the order that will result in the greatest amount of savings to the Fund in the shortest period of time; (2) the Director provide assistance in a manner that permits States and communities to make offers to owners of SRLPs to take eligible activities as soon as is practicable; and (3) the State or community, upon making an offer to provide assistance , notify each holder of a recorded interest on the property of such offer and eligible activity. <p>Permits a State or community to take action to purchase a severe repetitive loss property only if the following requirements are met: (1) the State or community enters into an agreement with the Director that provides assurances that the property purchased will be used in a manner consistent with requirements under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act requiring that the property be open to the public and maintained as open space, recreational land, or wetlands; and (2) the amount of purchase offer is not less than the greatest of the amount of the original purchase price of the property when purchased by the holder of the current flood insurance policy, the total amount owed at the time the offer to purchase is made under any loan secured by a recorded interest on the property, an amount equal to the fair market value of the property immediately before the most recent flood event affecting the property, or an amount equal to the replacement value of the property immediately before the most recent flood event affecting the property (but only in the case of a property for which the State or community taking action determines, and the Director concurs, that the fair market value of the property is less than the purchase price of a replacement primary residence that is of comparable value, functionally equivalent, and located in the same community or market area but not in an area having special flood hazards). <p>Provides for increased premiums in cases where the owner of an SRLP refuses an offer of eligible activities. Limits the increased premiums to an amount exceeding the applicable estimated risk premium rate for the area or subdivision. Permits any increase in chargeable premium rates to be carried out by adjusting any deductible charged in connection with flood insurance coverage for the property. Requires the Director, upon each renewal or modification of flood insurance coverage, to notify the owner that the offer is still open. Establishes as grounds for appealing increased premiums that: (1) as a result of such action, the owner will not be able to purchase a replacement primary residence of comparable value that is functionally equivalent; (2) as a result of such action, the preservation or maintenance of any prehistoric or historic district, site, building structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of historic places will be interfered with, impaired, or disrupted; (3) the flooding that resulted in the flood insurance claims for the property resulted from significant actions by a third party in violation of law; or (4) in purchasing the property, the owner relied upon flood insurance rate maps of FEMA that were current at the time and did not indicate special flood hazards. Sets forth provisions regarding procedures, effect of a final determination, and costs. <p>Authorizes the Director to cancel the policy and deny new coverage, or refuse to renew the policy upon expiration and deny new coverage, upon determining that a fraudulent claim was made. <p>Authorizes the Director to use amounts from the Fund to provide assistance in each of FY 2004 through 2008, with a limitation. Prohibits the Director from providing assistance under the program after September 30, 2008. <p>(Sec. 5) Authorizes the Director to approve only mitigation plans that give priority for funding to repetitive insurance claims properties, or to such subsets of properties, as are in the best interest of the National Flood Insurance Fund. <p>Requires the Director, in providing grants for mitigation activities, to give first priority for funding to such properties or subsets of properties as the Director determines are in the best interest of the Fund. <p>Requires the Director to take appropriate actions to encourage and improve participation in the program of owners of properties, including owners that are not located in areas having special flood hazards but are located within the 100-year floodplain. <p>Limits funding to $40 million in each fiscal year from the Fund for repetitive insurance claims properties. <p>(Sec. 6) Authorizes the Director to provide funding for mitigation actions that reduce flood damages to individual properties for which one or more claim payments have been made under flood insurance coverage only if the Director determines that such activities: (1) are in the best interest of the Fund; and (2) cannot be funded under the repetitive insurance claims program because specified requirements are not being met by the State or community in which the property is located, or the State or community does not have the capacity to manage such activities. <p>Requires the Director, in determining the properties for which funding is to be provided, to consult with the States in which they are located and provide assistance in the order that will result in the greatest amount of savings to the Fund in the shortest period of time. Limits funding to $10 million in any fiscal year for mitigation actions under this section, with an exception. <p>(Sec. 7) Modifies provisions regarding chargeable premium rates for specified properties. Requires that the chargeable rate be not less than the applicable estimated risk premium rate for the area or subdivision with respect to any property leased from the Federal Government that the Director determines is located on the river-facing side of any dike, levee, or other riverine flood control structure, or seaward of any seawall or other coastal flood control structure. Makes annual limitations on premium increases inapplicable to such properties. <p>(Sec. 8) Authorizes the Director to establish and maintain a database identifying by location and address all repetitive loss structures and SRLPs. Requires the Director to make the database available to the public in a format that may be searched electronically. Prohibits such a database from including information regarding ownership of properties. <p>(Sec. 9) Provides that the placement of any mobile home on any site shall not affect the eligibility of any community to participate in the flood insurance program under the National Flood Insurance Act and under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 if such: (1) mobile home was previously located on the site and was relocated from that site because of flooding that threatened or affected the site; and (2) replacement is conducted not later than the expiration of the 180-day period that begins upon the subsidence (in the area of that site) of the body of water that flooded to a level considered lower than flood levels. <p>(Sec. 10) Requires the Director to accelerate the identification of risk zones within flood- and mudslide- prone areas.",
