3,059 | 12,567 | H.R.9470 | Immigration | American Safety And Fairness through Expedited Removal Act of 2022 or the American SAFER Act of 2022
This bill expands the classes of non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) who are subject to expedited removal (i.e., removal from the United States without further hearing or review).
Specifically, the bill nullifies a 2004 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rule that generally limits expedited removal to certain situations, such as for non-U.S. nationals encountered within 14 days of entry into the United States without inspection and within 100 miles of a U.S. international land border.
The bill also (1) prohibits DHS from implementing a rule that limits expedited removal based on how far a non-U.S. national was from the border when encountered or apprehended, and (2) modifies the relevant statute to state that expedited removal authority applies regardless of where the non-U.S. national was encountered or apprehended. | To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify that expedited
removal of inadmissible arriving aliens applies regardless of where the
alien is encountered or apprehended, and for other purposes.

6,968 | 8,734 | H.R.6925 | Social Welfare | Senior Independence Act of 2022
This bill increases the amount of income that individuals who are less than the full retirement age may earn without incurring a reduction in their Social Security retirement benefits. | To amend title II of the Social Security Act to increase the monthly
exempt amount for individuals not attaining full retirement age, and
for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Senior Independence Act of 2022''.
SEC. 2. PURPOSE AND FINDINGS.
(a) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to increase the base
exemption used by the Social Security Administration in determining the
annual earnings limit for early retirees before monthly benefits are
reduced. This legislation would increase the annual earnings limitation
to $30,000 (or $2,500 per month for less than full year calculations)
for the year 2023 and adjusted for wage inflation in the following
years as required by current law.
(b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Allowing early retirees to earn more while retaining
their Social Security benefits will have no impact on the
solvency of the program because, under current law, any
reductions in benefits for excess earnings are returned to the
beneficiary after attaining full retirement age through
increased monthly benefits.
(2) Increasing the earning limit for Social Security
beneficiaries will result in the potential for increased
collection of FICA taxes used to fund the program.
SEC. 3. INCREASE IN MONTHLY EXEMPT AMOUNT FOR INDIVIDUALS NOT ATTAINING
RETIREMENT AGE.
(a) In General.--Section 203(f)(8) of the Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 403(f)(8)) is amended by adding at the end the following:
``(F) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
subsection, the exempt amount which is applicable to an
individual other than an individual described in subparagraph
(D) shall be, for months in any taxable year ending after 2022
and before 2024, $2,500.''.
(b) Conforming Amendments.--Section 203(f)(8) of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 403(f)(8)) is further amended--
(1) in subparagraph (B)(ii)--
(A) in the matter preceding subclause (I), by
striking ``the taxable year ending after 1993 and
before 1995'' and inserting ``the taxable year ending
after 2022 and before 2024''; and
(B) in subclause (II), by striking ``1992'' and
inserting ``2021''.
(c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this Act shall apply
with respect to months in taxable years ending in any calendar year
after 2022.

4,879 | 3,170 | S.3318 | Finance and Financial Sector | Taylor Force Martyr Payment Prevention Act of 2021
This bill expands the institutional factors the Department of the Treasury must consider when making a finding that a foreign financial institution is of primary money laundering concern and is therefore subject to special measures, including the prohibition of opening or maintaining correspondent accounts in U.S financial institutions. Specifically, Treasury must consider (1) the extent to which an institution knowingly provides financial services to Hamas, or to an agent of Hamas; and (2) the extent to which an institution, transaction, or type of account is used to facilitate or promote payments for certain acts of terrorism against U.S. and Israeli citizens. | To deter foreign financial institutions from providing banking services
for the benefit of foreign terrorist organizations and from
facilitating or promoting payments for acts of terrorism.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Taylor Force Martyr Payment
Prevention Act of 2021''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Banks in nominally friendly jurisdictions evade United
States anti-terrorism sanctions by avoiding an official
presence in the United States, and continue to knowingly
provide banking services, including dollar-denominated
transactions, for terrorist organizations that target United
States nationals for murder.
(2) Such flouting of anti-terrorism financial regulations
is only possible through the maintenance or use of
correspondent accounts at United States banks for the benefit
of terrorist organizations.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that under
authority granted by section 5318A of title 31, United States Code, as
amended by section 3, the Secretary of the Treasury should--
(1) find foreign financial institutions that flout anti-
terrorism financial regulations to be of primary money
laundering concern; and
(2) prohibit the maintenance or use of correspondent
accounts in the United States by such institutions.
SEC. 3. CONSIDERATION OF FACILITATION OF TERRORISM IN DESIGNATING
INSTITUTIONS, ACCOUNTS, AND TRANSACTIONS AS OF PRIMARY
MONEY LAUNDERING CONCERN.
Section 5318A(c)(2)(B) of title 31, United States Code, is
amended--
(1) in the matter preceding clause (i), by striking ``all
3'' and inserting ``all of the preceding'';
(2) in clause (ii), by striking ``; and'' and inserting a

provide, or cause other financial institutions
to provide, financial services (including
personal banking services) to the entity
described in subsection (a) of section 594.319
of title 31, Code of Federal Regulations (or a
successor regulation), or persons described in

1,784 | 10,961 | H.R.1763 | Labor and Employment | Building on Reemployment Improvements to Deliver Good Employment for Workers Act or the BRIDGE for Workers Act
This bill extends eligibility for reemployment services to all individuals claiming unemployment compensation. Currently, only unemployment claimants that are identified as likely to exhaust their regular unemployment compensation are eligible for such reemployment services. | To amend title III of the Social Security Act to extend reemployment
services and eligibility assessments to all claimants for unemployment
benefits, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Building on Reemployment
Improvements to Deliver Good Employment for Workers Act'' or the
``BRIDGE for Workers Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-123)
improved program accountability for effectively serving
unemployed workers and made a significant new investment in
reemployment services.
(2) Research shows the longer workers are out of work, the
harder it can be to maintain their skills, professional
network, and stable home life.
(3) Reemployment services give workers who might otherwise
struggle to find new jobs the tools that they need to get back
to work--such as individualized career counseling and job
search help as well as local labor market information--and they
can serve as an entry point to the workforce development
system.
(4) Reemployment services have been demonstrated to reduce
the number of weeks that program participants receive
unemployment benefits by improving their employment outcomes,
including earnings.
(5) State unemployment benefits replace less than half of
working income, on average, so workers who find new jobs
quickly suffer less financial hardship.
(6) Combining targeted reemployment services with
unemployment benefits helps keep people attached to the labor
force who might otherwise become discouraged and drop out.
(7) The Congressional Budget Office estimates that, over
time, investments in reemployment services create savings for
taxpayers and unemployment trust funds by reducing spending on
unemployment benefits.
(8) Many different types of workers can benefit from
reemployment services. Reemployment services should be used to
shorten the duration of unemployment for workers even if they
are not projected to fully exhaust their unemployment benefits.
SEC. 3. ELIGIBILITY FOR REEMPLOYMENT SERVICES.
Section 306(a) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 506(a)) is
amended--
(1) by striking ``individuals referred to reemployment
services as described in section 303(j)'' and inserting
``claimants for unemployment compensation, including claimants
referred to reemployment services as described in section
303(j),''; and

This bill expands the grounds for barring aliens who have engaged in acts relating to espionage or sabotage from entering the United States.

Currently, an alien shall be inadmissible if the alien seeks to enter the United States to engage in such an action.
Furthermore, the bill expands these grounds of inadmissibility and other security-related grounds to cover the spouse or child of the barred alien if the act occurred in the last five years.

7,923 | 3,132 | S.1722 | Immigration | Protecting America From Spies Act
This bill expands the grounds for barring aliens who have engaged in acts relating to espionage or sabotage from entering the United States.
Specifically, any alien shall be inadmissible if the alien has engaged in or will engage in an act that (1) violates a U.S. law relating to espionage or sabotage; (2) would violate any U.S. law relating to espionage or sabotage if it occurred in the United States; or (3) violates any U.S. law prohibiting the export of goods, technology, or sensitive information. Currently, an alien shall be inadmissible if the alien seeks to enter the United States to engage in such an action.
Furthermore, the bill expands these grounds of inadmissibility and other security-related grounds to cover the spouse or child of the barred alien if the act occurred in the last five years.
The bill also modifies the authority of the Department of Justice to waive certain security-related grounds of inadmissibility for an alien applying for a nonimmigrant visa. | To amend section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to ensure
that efforts to engage in espionage or technology transfer are
considered in visa issuance, and for other purposes.

United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. UNITED STATES-INDIA DEFENSE PARTNERSHIP.
(a) Strong United States-India Defense Partnership.--It is the
sense of Congress that--
(1) a strong United States-India defense partnership,
rooted in shared democratic values, is critical in order to
advance United States interests in the Indo-Pacific region; and
(2) this partnership between the world's oldest and largest
democracies is critical and must continue to be strengthened in
response to increasing threats in the Indo-Pacific regions,
sending an unequivocal signal that sovereignty and
international law must be respected.
(b) United States-India Initiative on Critical and Emerging
Technologies (iCET).--The Congress finds that the United States-India
Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies (iCET) is a welcome
and essential step to developing closer partnerships between
governments, academia, and industry in the United States and India to
address the latest advances in artificial intelligence, quantum
computing, biotechnology, aerospace, and semiconductor manufacturing.
Such collaborations between engineers and computer scientists are vital
to help ensure that the United States and India, as well as other
democracies around the world, foster innovation and facilitate
technological advances which continue to far outpace Russian and
Chinese technology.
(c) Border Threats From China and Reliance on Russian-Built
Weapons.--Congress recognizes that--
(1) India faces immediate and serious regional border
threats from China, with continued military aggression by the
Government of China along the India-China border,
(2) India relies on Russian-built weapons for its national
defense, and
(3) the United States should take additional steps to
encourage India to accelerate India's transition off Russian-
built weapons and defense systems while strongly supporting
India's immediate defense needs.
(d) Waiver of CAATSA Sanctions in Best Interests of United States
and the United States-India Defense Partnership.--While India faces
immediate needs to maintain its heavily Russian-built weapons systems,
a waiver to sanctions under the Countering America's Adversaries
Through Sanctions Act during this transition period is in the best
interests of the United States and the United States-India defense
partnership to deter aggressors in light of Russia and China's close
partnership.

SECTION 1. NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT REGARDING USE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS
WITHOUT DECLARATION OF WAR BY CONGRESS.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) nuclear deterrence is the bedrock of United States
national security;
(2) the ability for the United States to quickly and
decisively respond to acts of aggression against the United
States and the allies and partners of the United States,
including nuclear attacks, deters actors from acting against
the United States in the first place;
(3) as currently structured, responsibility and authority
for the release of nuclear weapons resides solely with the
President;
(4) any Presidential order for a nuclear strike must be
verified by a senior official of the Department of Defense or
military officer to ensure that a lawful order was in fact
issued by the President;
(5) neither a senior official of the Department nor a
military officer in the chain of command has veto power and,
therefore, must comply with a lawful order or resign;
(6) however, entrusting an individual with the authority to
order the use of nuclear weapons raises the possibility,
however small, of their accidental or inappropriate use that
risks catastrophic loss of life and potential escalation into
nuclear war; and
(7) the chain of command established under section 162(b)
of title 10, United States Code, applies to Presidential orders
regarding the use of nuclear weapons.
(b) Notification.--
(1) Requirement.--Upon the receipt of an order described in
paragraph (2) and before carrying out such order, the Secretary
of Defense, or any other senior official of the Department of
Defense or military officer that is in direct receipt of such
order, shall notify the congressional defense committees, the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, the majority leader of
the Senate, the minority leader of the House of
Representatives, and the minority leader of the Senate of such
order.
(2) Order described.--An order described in this paragraph
is a verified order by the President to use nuclear weapons
without a declaration of war by Congress.
