Voting in America: The Potential for Polling Place Quality and Restrictions on Opportunities to Vote to Interfere with Free and Fair Access to the Ballot, Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Elections, Committee on House Administration, House of Representatives, One Hundred Seventeenth Congress, First Session, June 11, 2021 (Book 2 of 2)
This a continuation of the June 11, 2021 hearing on "Voting in America: The Potential for Polling Place Quality and Restrictions on Opportunities to Vote to Interfere with Free and Fair Access to the Ballot," before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Elections Committee on House Administration House of Representatives, One Hundred Seventeenth Congress. From the opening statement of G.K. Butterfield: "Today we will discuss changes in election administration and voting laws that reduce or consolidate or relocate polling locations that impact the ability of voters to access the ballot. [...] We will talk about long wait times at the polls and restrictions on opportunities to vote, all of which--all of which--can disproportionately burden minority voters. [...] There is no proof that these laws are necessary and no analysis to ensure that they are not discriminatory. Unfortunately, the evidence reveals plainly the very opposite. [...] Expanded opportunities to vote, such as early mail-in or curbside voting and access to drop boxes increase equal access to the ballot and can decrease these waiting times. We should provide more of these opportunities. Recent elections prove that if voters are given options for when and how to cast their ballot, participation in the electoral process will actually increase. [...] the Constitution is unambiguously clear: Congress has a clear role in protecting this right to vote and ensuring equal, equitable access to the franchise. And so, my friends, I look forward to hearing and learning from today's witnesses and working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to ensure we do just that." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Stephen Pettigrew, Jesselyn McCurdy, Kevin Morris, Mimi Marziani, and Donald Palmer.

H. Rept. 117-57: Elder Abuse Protection Act of 2021, Report to Accompany H.R. 2922, June 11, 2021
From the Purpose and Summary: "H.R. 2922, the 'Elder Abuse Protection Act of 2021,' would make permanent the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Elder Justice Initiative and would require that materials posted by the Initiative be translated into Spanish. By 2060, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) projects that the population of elderly Latino Americans will grow to 19.9 million, or 21% of the overall American elderly population. The Elder Abuse Protection Act's requirement that certain Spanish-language resources be translated into Spanish would provide an important resource to over one million residents of the United States and marks one of this bill's primary aims. The legislation would also assign a number of responsibilities to the Elder Justice Initiative, including an obligation to post elder abuse prevention resources online, coordinate with the Office of Tribal Justice to address elder fraud on reservations, and require the DOJ to publish Spanish-language elder fraud and abuse materials. Additionally, the bill would authorize the DOJ to continue to operate the National Elder Fraud hotline. Under the proposed bill, the Elder Justice Initiative would be led by a Department-wide Elder Justice Coordinator, who would be responsible for providing support to locally placed Elder Justice Coordinators."

H. Doc. 117-40: Addressing the Threat from Securities Investments That Finance Certain Companies of the People's Republic of China, June 4, 2021
From the Document: "Pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), I hereby report that I have issued an Executive Order addressing the threat from securities investments that finance certain companies of the People's Republic of China (PRC). I have determined that additional steps are necessary to address the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13959 of November 12, 2020 (Addressing the Threat From Securities Investments That Finance Communist Chinese Military Companies), including the threat posed by the military-industrial complex of the PRC and its involvement in military, intelligence, and security research and development programs, and weapons and related equipment production under the PRC's Military-Civil Fusion strategy. In addition, I find that the use of Chinese surveillance technology outside the PRC and the development or use of Chinese surveillance technology to facilitate repression or serious human rights abuse, constitute unusual and extraordinary threats, which have their source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby expand the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13959 to address those threats."

H. Rept. 117-49: DHS Medical Countermeasures Act, Report to Accompany H.R. 3263, June 1, 2021
From the Document: "H.R. 3263, the 'DHS Medical Countermeasures Act,' requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary to establish a medical countermeasures program to facilitate personnel readiness and protection for the Department's employees and working animals in the event of a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosives attack, naturally occurring disease outbreak, or pandemic, and to support Department mission continuity. First introduced in the 114th Congress, and passed by the House of Representatives in the 115th Congress as part of H.R. 2825, the 'Department of Homeland Security Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019,' this legislation is responsive to findings of an August 2014 DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) report entitled, 'DHS Has Not Effectively Managed Pandemic Personal Protective Equipment and Antiviral Medical Countermeasures.' At the time, it was developed due to concern about the possibility of a severe pandemic that could cause illnesses, fatalities, and disrupt U.S. economic and social stability. The concerns of the DHS OIG report were realized on December 31, 2019, when the World Health Organization (WHO) identified a media report from the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission in China regarding dozens of patients receiving treatment for a 'viral pneumonia' from an unknown source. The virus, 'severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2' (SARS-CoV-2), causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Since the initial cases, COVID-19 has resulted in a global pandemic. In the U.S. alone, the pandemic has resulted in the death of at least 590,000 people. COVID-19's impact was felt within the DHS workforce, which stands at more than 240,000 employees. With nearly 85 percent of the DHS personnel working on the frontlines and unable to work remotely or practice social distancing, keeping personnel safe during the pandemic has had homeland security implications."

H. Rept. 117-48: State and Local Cybersecurity Improvement Act, Report to Accompany H.R. 3138, June 1, 2021
From the Purpose and Summary: "H.R. 3138, the 'State and Local Cybersecurity Act,' seeks to foster stronger partnerships between the Federal government and State and local governments to defend State and local networks against cyber attacks from sophisticated foreign adversaries or cyber criminals. It does so by authorizing a new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grant program to address cybersecurity vulnerabilities on State and local government networks. This new $500 million grant program includes a graduating cost-share to incentivize States to increase funding for cybersecurity in their budgets. Under the bill, State, Tribal, and Territorial governments would be required to develop comprehensive cybersecurity plans to guide the use of grant funds. The bill also requires the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to develop a strategy to improve the cybersecurity of State, local, Tribal, and Territorial governments, set baseline objectives for State and local cybersecurity efforts, and, among other things, identify Federal resources that could be made available to State and local governments for cybersecurity purposes. CISA would also be required to assess the feasibility of a short-term rotational program for certain cybersecurity professionals in State, local, Tribal, and Territorial workforces to be detailed to the Agency. Lastly, H.R. 3138 establishes a State and Local Cybersecurity Resilience Committee comprised of representatives from State, local, Tribal, and Territorial governments to advise and provide situational awareness to CISA regarding the cybersecurity needs of such governments."

H. Rept. 117-47: To Amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to Reauthorize the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Restoration Program, and for Other Purposes, Report to Accompany H.R. 1921, Including Cost Estimate of the Congressional Budget Office, May 28, 2021
From the Document: "The purpose of H.R. 1921, introduced by Representative Garret Graves (R-LA [Representative-Louisiana]), is to amend the 'Federal Water Pollution Control Act,' commonly known as the 'Clean Water Act,' to reauthorize federal appropriations for the Lake Pontchartrain Basin program, to require the comprehensive restoration plan for Lake Pontchartrain be reviewed and updated every five years, and to amend a technical definition. [...] Lake Pontchartrain and its surrounding area face several challenges, most stemming from poor planning and overdevelopment. Logging in the upland areas has caused degradation, reduced plant growth, and increased saltwater intrusions, which subsequently have prevented new growth and contributed to a dead zone in the southeastern end of the lake. The basin also faces impacts from urban and agricultural runoff, sewage overflow, and nonpoint source pollution. The loss of wetlands to serve as natural filters for pollutants exacerbates these effects. The Basin Restoration Program helps to address these environmental challenges and the region is already seeing some significant comebacks. Much of this success is due to a collaborative effort between federal, state, and local entities who share an interest in a clean, healthy lake and basin. Continued funding of these efforts is essential to protecting and restoring the health of this ecosystem."

[...] H.R. 587 seeks to clarify that the City of San Diego, California, can utilize the standard 'Clean Water Act' National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit renewal process and does not need a variance application to continue operating the E.W. Blom Point Loma Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant ('Point Loma Plant') and the Point Loma Ocean Outfall, subject to the implementation of the permitting requirements specified in the bill."

H. Rept. 117-46: Federal Disaster Assistance Coordination Act, Report to Accompany H.R. 2016, Including Cost Estimate of the Congressional Budget Office, May 28, 2021
From the Purpose and Background: "The purpose of H.R. 2016 is to conduct a study on streamlining and consolidating federal information collection and preliminary damage assessments. [...] Multiple federal agencies participate in information collection and damage assessments to grant federal funding requested following emergencies and disasters, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the Small Business Administration (SBA). These tasks often need to be completed by more than one department or agency before an eligible applicant can receive federal assistance. This leads to slow turnaround times in assisting disaster survivors and impacted communities, and a backlog of applications for assistance following major disasters. Section 1223 of the 'Disaster Recovery Reform Act of 2018 (DRRA, P.L. 115-254)' broadly requires 'an inter-agency study to streamline information collection from disaster assistance applicants and grantees, and the establishment of a public website to present the data.' DRRA provides no timeline for when the study should occur, nor which federal departments and agencies should be involved. H.R. 2016 would further the requirements of Section 1223 and address the inefficiencies associated with disaster funding disbursement by requiring a federal working group to identify areas of potential overlap and to make a recommendation to Congress as to whether a single agency could assume responsibility for information collection and damage assessments."
