Federal Police Oversight: Criminal Civil Rights Violations Under 18 U.S.C. § 242 [June 15, 2020]
From the Document: "The May 2020 death of George Floyd in police custody and subsequent nationwide protests against the use of force by law enforcement have sparked heightened interest in Congress's ability to prevent and remedy civil rights abuses by public safety officers. Among other existing legal remedies, a provision of the federal criminal code, 18 U.S.C. § 242 (Section 242) makes it a crime for government officials, including law enforcement officers, to subject any person to a deprivation of federally protected rights or impose different punishments based on a person's race. This Sidebar provides an overview of Section 242 before discussing proposals to amend the law, as well as certain legal considerations related to those proposals."

National Stockpiles: Background and Issues for Congress [June 15, 2020]
From the Document: "The United States maintains several distinct stockpiles of supplies, equipment, and raw materials that may be used for a national emergency, military operation, or other natural disaster or manmade event where commercial supply and distribution are unavailable.Some of these stockpiles were established by Congress in law, while others began as policy-driven initiatives of federal departments and agencies.In general, there are two types of stockpiles that the U.S. government owns and manages: (1) those intended to support a subset of the general public in an emergency (i.e., public stockpiles) and (2) those intended to support the national defense during a war or other type of military operation (i.e., defense stockpiles). Typically, a single federal department (including military departments)is responsible for managing each stockpile. Within departments, stockpiles are often supported by one or more logistics organizations that provide procurement, storage, transportation, disposal, and/or other technical services to stockpile managers. The degree to which stockpile managers store certain goods,instead of relying on pre-negotiated or rapidly executed contracts to deliver goods in an emergency, varies. Stockpile managers often consider several factors when making a decision to stockpile, including:statutory requirements, forecasted commercial availability of a product/material, anticipated loss of suppliers in a certain geographic area during an emergency, forecasted demand during peacetime and emergencies, the rareness or criticality of a material, and a department's overall stockpiling strategy."

Reserve Component Personnel Issues: Questions and Answers [Updated June 15, 2020]
From the Summary: " This report is designed to provide an overview of key reserve component personnel issues. The term 'Reserve Component' refers collectively to the seven individual reserve components of the Armed Forces: the Army National Guard of the United States, the Army Reserve, the Navy Reserve, the Marine Corps Reserve, the Air National Guard of the United States, the Air Force Reserve, and the Coast Guard Reserve. The purpose of these seven reserve components, as codified in law at 10 U.S.C. §10102, is to 'provide trained units and qualified persons available for active duty in the armed forces, in time of war or national emergency, and at such other times as the national security may require, to fill the needs of the armed forces whenever more units and persons are needed than are in the regular components.' [...] This report provides insight to reserve component personnel issues through a series of questions and answers that address [1] How reserve component personnel are organized (questions 2 and 4); [2] How many people are in each of the different categories of the reserve component (question 3); [3] How reserve component personnel have been and may be used (questions 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 11); [4] How reserve component personnel are compensated (questions 8 and 10); [5] The types of legal protections that exist for reserve component personnel (question 12); and [6] Recent changes in reserve component pay and benefits made by Congress (question 13)."

Rules of Origin [Updated June 15, 2020]
From the Background: "Rules of origin (ROO) are laws, regulations, and procedures used for ascertaining the 'nationality' of imported products. ROO are important for many reasons, including determining the admissibility of imported goods, assessing duty rates, country of origin marking, applying tariff quotas, enforcing U.S trade laws, establishing eligibility for preferential programs and free-trade agreements (FTAs), and collecting trade statistics. Determining origin is relatively straightforward if all of a product's raw materials and parts are manufactured and assembled in one country. However, in today's global economy, parts of manufactured goods to be assembled into products such as automobiles, computers, or clothing, often come from many countries. This can make determining origin a complex process."

Small Business Administration and Job Creation [Updated June 15, 2020]
From the Summary: "The Small Business Administration (SBA) administers several programs to support small businesses, including loan guaranty programs, disaster loan programs, management and technical assistance training programs, and federal contracting programs. Congress has always been interested in these programs, primarily because they are viewed as a means to stimulate economic activity and create jobs. That interest has become acute in recent months due to the adverse economic impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the national economy, particularly on small businesses. For example, legislation has been enacted that has dramatically expanded the SBA's authority to provide loans to small businesses adversely affected by COVID-19. This report examines the economic research on net job creation to identify the types of businesses that appear to create the most jobs."

Tax Issues Relating to Charitable Contributions and Organizations [Updated June 15, 2020]
From the Introduction: "The federal government supports the charitable sector by providing charitable organizations and donors with favorable tax treatment. A primary source of support is allowing a tax deduction for charitable contributions made by individuals who itemize deductions, by estates, and by corporations. For charitable organizations, earnings on funds held by such organizations are exempt from the federal income tax. [...] The report begins with a description of the charitable sector and tax provisions affecting the sector. The following sections discuss the magnitude of charitable deductions, including sources and beneficiaries, with historical data. The report then discusses the incentive effects of the deductions and the consequences for charitable giving, including potential effects of the 2017 tax revision. The report concludes with a discussion of policy options."

Repairs and Alterations Backlog at the General Services Administration [June 12, 2020]
From the Summary: "The General Services Administration (GSA), often referred to as 'the government's landlord,' provides workspace for 1.2 million federal employees across more than 50 federal agencies. Half of the space that tenant agencies occupy (183.8 million square feet) is located in buildings that GSA owns. As the property owner, GSA is responsible for ensuring that repairs and alterations (R&A) are completed in a timely manner. When R&A needs are deferred, a number of negative consequences may result, including health and safety code violations, deterioration of building systems, increased operating costs, and decreased asset value. For GSA-owned buildings, which have an average age of 49 years, R&A projects are often essential for extending the life of the property. Over the past four decades, GSA has accumulated a multibillion-dollar R&A liability."

COVID-19: Global Implications and Responses [Updated June 12, 2020]
From the Overview: "Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) is believed to have emerged in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, and it has since spread around the globe. Confirmed cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) are most numerous in the United States, Russia, and Brazil (Figure 1). As of June 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that over 7.4 million people had contracted COVID-19 worldwide, and that over 400,000 people had died from it. WHO declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on January 30 and labeled it a 'pandemic' on March 11."

Federal Reserve's Response to COVID-19: Policy Issues [June 12, 2020]
From the Summary: "The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused widespread disruptions to the economy. The Federal Reserve (Fed) has taken multiple policy actions in response to the crisis, and Congress has taken the unprecedented step of providing up to $500 billion to the Treasury to support Fed programs through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (H.R. 748, CARES Act), signed into law as P.L. 116-136 on March 27, 2020. The Fed has taken a number of steps to promote economic and financial stability in both its monetary policy and its 'lender of last resort roles'. Some of these actions are intended to stimulate economic activity by reducing interest rates, and others are intended to provide liquidity so firms have access to needed funding. The Fed acts as a lender of last resort for banks by making short-term loans through the discount window, which it encouraged banks to access and made the borrowing terms more attractive when the pandemic began. Because foreign banks are reliant on U.S. dollar funding but cannot borrow from the discount window, the Fed has also allowed foreign central banks to swap their currencies for hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars so that the central banks can lend those dollars to banks in their jurisdiction."

Legal Issues Related to the COVID-19 Outbreak: An Overview [Updated June 12, 2020]
From the Document: "The COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] outbreak rapidly shifted the congressional agenda, while altering the daily lives of millions of American residents. Alongside the many medical, economic, social, and public policy questions raised by the pandemic are a range of legal issues. These include both short-term legal questions related to the unfolding outbreak as well as longer-term legal issues that are anticipated to persist in the wake of the crisis. Among the most immediate questions were those related to the scope of state and federal authorities concerning quarantine measures, travel and entry restrictions, the movement of medical goods, health care coverage, and the like. Of more ongoing concern may be legal issues ranging from those related to the development of vaccines, testing, treatments, and other medical countermeasures, to postponing national elections, to civil liability for COVID-19 exposure, to criminal actions related to hoarding and price gouging, to providing economic assistance to individuals and businesses, to foreclosure, eviction, and debt collection moratoria. This Legal Sidebar provides a list of legal resources discussing these and other legal topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be updated intermittently as additional legal issues emerge."

Army Security Force Assistance Brigades (SFABs) [Updated June 12, 2020]
From the Background: "The Department of Defense notes 'military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and many future operations will center on developing capability and capacity of host nation (HN) or other FSFs [foreign security forces].' SFA [Security Force Assistance] activities have and are occurring in Africa, Europe, Asia, and South America. In the past, Special Forces units handled the majority of SFA missions, but the growing requirement for SFA over time has resulted in conventional forces assuming a more active role in conducting these missions. Conventional forces SFA missions were normally assigned to a Brigade Combat Team (BCT), the Army's principal warfighting organization. Because of the nature of SFA missions, BCT leadership--officers and senior and mid-grade noncommissioned officers (NCOs)--were typically deployed to conduct SFA missions, with most junior NCOs and soldiers remaining at their home station. This situation, while practical from a resource perspective, created a number of readiness concerns for the BCT soldiers remaining at home station. One such concern is with leadership stripped out of the BCTs for the SFAB mission, the remaining soldiers were limited to training at individual and squad level only, resulting in a low level of unit readiness."

Restrictions on Compensation Under the CARES Act [June 12, 2020]
From the Document: "The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act; P.L. 116-136) was enacted to assist those affected by the economic impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). A key part of this assistance is provided to eligible businesses, states, and municipalities in Division A, Title IV of the act. Section 4003 allocates $500 billion to the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) to make loans or loan guarantees to certain industries and to support Federal Reserve lending facilities. Section 4112 allocates $32 billion to Treasury to provide financial assistance to the aviation industry for employee wages, salaries, and benefits. Some have characterized these provisions as a 'bailout' of private industry; others assert they are necessary to avoid employment losses and maintain economic stability. [...] Recipient firms of this financial assistance must meet a number of requirements. In some cases, these include restrictions on compensation at firms receiving assistance under Title IV of the act. This Insight gives an overview of those restrictions."

From the Document: "The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is impacting the electric power sector directly (e.g., illness and fatalities among workers) and indirectly (e.g., reduced electricity sales). Most indirect impacts to date have been caused by the economic effects of the pandemic. Long-term impacts are highly uncertain and likely depend on the pandemic's ultimate toll on U.S. public health and the economy. Potential impacts over the coming months include continued reduced electricity sales, increased electric reliability risks, reduced utility bill payments, and delayed or reduced industry investment activity."

Leveraged Loans and Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs): Recent Developments and Policy Actions [June 11, 2020]
From the Document: "Leveraged loans are a type of corporate debt extended to highly indebted companies. Borrowers often use leveraged loans to fund general operations or finance private equity firms' leveraged buyouts. Some leveraged loans are packaged into collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) through securitization. [...] During the COVID-19 [coronavirus diseae 2019]-induced economic downturn, the heightened market stress and reduced corporate earnings have led to performance deterioration in leveraged loans and CLOs. The related price decline is more evident for the lower-rated CLO tranches. The pricing reflects the investors' expectation that the relevant loss absorption structures may protect senior tranches while eroding certain equity and mezzanine tranches. The Federal Reserve (Fed) announced support for some highest-rated CLOs, benefiting certain newly issued CLOs. This Insight examines selected performance measures of leverage loans and CLOs and the related federal government interventions."

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA): Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS) and COVID-19 [Updated June 11, 2020]
From the Summary: "The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not currently have a specific standard that protects healthcare or other workers from airborne or aerosol transmission of disease or diseases transmitted by airborne droplets. Some in Congress, and some groups representing healthcare, meat and poultry processing, and other workers, are calling on OSHA to promulgate an emergency temporary standard (ETS) to protect workers from exposure to SARS-Cov-2 [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2], the virus that causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) gives OSHA the ability to promulgate an ETS that would remain in effect for up to six months without going through the normal review and comment process of rulemaking. OSHA, however, has rarely used this authority in the past--not since the courts struck down its ETS on asbestos in 1983."

Police Accountability Measures [June 11, 2020]
From the Document: "A series of high-profile deaths of people of color at the hands of law enforcement personnel have generated interest among policymakers about what steps could be taken to promote police accountability. In the wake of these high-profile deaths, policymakers have shown increased interest in considering legislation that would promote police accountability for the use of excessive force. The 21st Century Policing Task Force (Task Force), established by Executive Order 13684 in 2015 in response to a number of serious incidents between law enforcement and members of the communities they serve, recommended a series of actions that would help law enforcement agencies establish a culture of transparency and accountability in order to build public trust and legitimacy. This In Focus provides an overview of some frequently proposed measures, many of which were recommended by the Task Force, that policymakers could consider if they move forward with legislation to promote accountability in policing."

Federal Criminal Laws Applicable to Rioting, Property Destruction, and Related Conduct [June 11, 2020]
From the Document: "In the days after George Floyd was pronounced dead following his arrest by Minneapolis law enforcement officers, widespread demonstrations and protests occurred in dozens of American cities. News accounts have described the majority of that activity to have been peaceful, and such activity is beyond the scope of this Sidebar. However, some cities also experienced rioting, property destruction, and related activity. For example, news reports have documented incidents of individuals throwing fireworks and other objects at police officers, vandalizing property, and setting fires. There have also been reports of looting. [...] In the aftermath of Floyd's death, on May 30, 2020, Attorney General William Barr stated that the Department of Justice (DOJ) would prosecute those who violate federal laws applicable to rioting. DOJ has already brought a variety of charges for such conduct that occurred following Floyd's death. Although state criminal laws likely govern much of the rioting and related activity described above, given the interest expressed by some Members in the incidents surrounding and following the death of George Floyd and Congress's ability to legislate in this area, this Legal Sidebar examines some of the federal criminal statutes that may be relevant to rioting, property destruction, and related conduct. Specifically, this sidebar discusses, in order: (1) The Anti-Riot Act, (2) the 'civil disorder' statute, (3) arson and explosives statutes, and (4) statutes proscribing certain conduct with respect to federal property."
