Corporate Crimes Against Health Care Act

United States · United States Congress · 11 June 2024

Corporate Crimes Against Health Care Act This bill establishes criminal violations and civil penalties for private equity firms or investment companies that (1) take a controlling interest in a health care organization, and (2) contribute to a triggering event that results in the injury or death of a patient under the care of the acquired health care organization. A triggering event occurs if the acquired health care organization (1) closes; (2) is behind on rent payments for more than 90 days; (3) defaults on a loan for more than 90 days; or (4) is behind, at any time, on salary payments beyond specified limits. These violations also apply to conduct that contributes to a triggering event by a director, officer, shareholder, or person with the ability to control the acquiring firm, company, or acquired health care organization. Additionally, the bill authorizes the Department of Justice and state attorneys general to claw back compensation (e.g., salaries of executives of the acquiring firm, company, or health care organization) paid by the health care organization during the 10-year period before and after a triggering event occurs if an aggravating circumstance is established. Violators of these provisions are subject to a prison sentence of one to six years and civil penalties of not more than five times the amount of any clawback. The bill prohibits an entity from receiving payments from a federal health care program if the entity sells assets or offers assets as collateral to a real estate investment trust (REIT). The bill also eliminates certain tax benefits for REITs.

Stop Copay Overpay Act

United States · United States Congress · 5 June 2024

Stop Copay Overpay Act This bill prohibits the Department of Defense (DOD) from charging a covered individual (i.e., individuals enrolled under the TRICARE program) a co-payment exceeding a certain rate for an outpatient visit for mental health or behavioral health under the TRICARE program, regardless of whether the visit is furnished by a specialty care provider. Specifically, the co-payment amount may not exceed the amount of a co-payment that would be charged under the TRICARE program for an outpatient visit for primary care services. During the one-year period beginning after this bill is enacted, DOD may not increase the co-payment amount charged to a covered individual above the amount that would have been charged in FY2021 for any service (1) furnished by a specialty care provider under the TRICARE program, and (2) that is not an outpatient visit for mental or behavioral health care. 

Resolution· SRESS.Res. 718 (118th)referred

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the United States Government should immediately place a moratorium on all federally funded gain-of-function research given the increased safety concerns.

United States · United States Congress · 4 June 2024

This resolution expresses the sense of the Senate that Congress should consider S. 81, which prohibits the award of federal research grants to institutions of higher education or research institutes that conduct gain-of-function research. (Under the bill, gain-of-function research refers to any research that (1) could confer attributes to influenza, MERS, or SARS viruses such that the virus would have enhanced pathogenicity or transmissibility in an organism; or (2) involves methods that could enhance potential pandemic pathogens or related risky research with potentially dangerous pathogens.)

Right to IVF Act

United States · United States Congress · 3 June 2024

Right to IVF Act This bill provides a statutory right to access fertility treatments (e.g., in vitro fertilization). Specifically, under the bill, individuals have the right to access fertility treatments and to make decisions about the use of their reproductive genetic material (e.g., embryos) without limitation or interference. Health care providers and insurers have the right to provide and cover these services, respectively. Manufacturers of applicable drugs or devices also have the right to provide these drugs or devices. The bill supersedes state laws that limit or otherwise interfere with the provision of fertility treatments as set out under this bill, including laws that require medically unnecessary procedures or services in conjunction with fertility treatments or that restrict the ability of individuals to receive fertility treatments based on marital status or sex (including sexual orientation or gender identity). The bill does not affect state health and safety regulations for medical facilities or health care providers that are in accordance with widely accepted and evidence-based medical standards and for which the purpose cannot be achieved in another, nonrestrictive manner. The Department of Justice may bring civil actions against states, individuals, or entities that implement or enforce limitations or requirements that violate this bill. Individuals and health care providers may also bring civil actions.  In addition, the bill provides for coverage of fertility treatments under Medicare and Medicaid and for members of the uniformed services and veterans. It also requires private insurers that cover obstetrical services to also cover fertility treatments.

National Prescribed Fire Act of 2024

United States · United States Congress · 23 May 2024

National Prescribed Fire Act of 2024 This bill directs the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of the Interior to increase the number and size of prescribed fires conducted on federal lands. For 10 years, Interior and USDA must annually conduct prescribed fires on federal land so that the total acreage where prescribed fires are conducted is 10% greater than the previous fiscal year.  Interior and USDA must establish a collaborative prescribed fire program to provide financial assistance to eligible entities to conduct prescribed fires in priority landscapes. Interior and USDA may enter into cooperative agreements or contracts with states, Indian tribes, counties, municipal governments, fire districts, nongovernmental organizations, or private entities to coordinate prescribed fires on federal land. Interior and USDA must expand employment opportunities for prescribed fire practitioners, including by expanding hazard pay, supporting underrepresented groups, and establishing additional training centers.  To address the public health and safety risk of the expanded use of prescribed fire, the Environmental Protection Agency must coordinate with state, tribal, and local air quality agencies to support the environmental review of wildland fires.
