under a reporting system for living non-AIDS cases of HIV
that is not names-based (referred to in this subparagraph as

this subparagraph, modify the number of such cases reported
for the eligible area in order to adjust for duplicative
reporting in and among systems that use code-based reporting.
``(II) Adjustment rate.--The adjustment rate under
subclause (I) for an eligible area shall be a reduction of 5
percent in the number of living non-AIDS cases of HIV
reported for the area.

``(vii) Multiple political jurisdictions.--With respect to
living non-AIDS cases of HIV, if an eligible area is not
entirely within one political jurisdiction and as a result is
subject to more than one reporting system for purposes of
this subparagraph:

``(I) Names-based reporting under clause (i) applies in a
jurisdictional portion of the area, or an exemption under
clause (ii) applies in such portion (subject to applicable
provisions of this subparagraph), according to whether names-
based reporting or code-based reporting is used in such
portion.
``(II) If under subclause (I) both names-based reporting
and code-based reporting apply in the area, the number of
code-based cases shall be reduced under clause (vi).

december 31, 2005.--

``(I) In general.--If an eligible area or portion thereof
is in a State specified in subclause (II), the eligible area

compliance with the requirement for names-based reporting of
living non-AIDS cases of HIV, the Secretary shall,
notwithstanding such noncompliance, accept reports of living
cases of AIDS that are in accordance with such clause.
``(II) Applicability of exemption requirements.--The
provisions of clauses (ii) through (viii) may not be
construed as having any legal effect for fiscal year 2010 or
any subsequent fiscal year, and accordingly, the status of a
State for purposes of such clauses may not be considered
after fiscal year 2009.

counting.--The Secretary shall carry out a program to monitor
the reporting of names-based cases for purposes of this

``(I) In general.--With respect to a State that is under a
reporting system for living non-AIDS cases of HIV that is not
names-based (referred to in this subparagraph as `code-based

the State in order to adjust for duplicative reporting in and
among systems that use code-based reporting.

notwithstanding such noncompliance, accept reports of living
cases of AIDS that are in accordance with such clause.
``(II) Applicability of exemption requirements.--The
provisions of clauses (ii) through (vii) may not be construed

subsequent fiscal year, and accordingly, the status of a
State for purposes of such clauses may not be considered
after fiscal year 2009.

counting.--The Secretary shall carry out a program to monitor

______

SA 5219. Mr. FRIST (for Mr. Enzi) proposed an amendment to the bill
H.R. 864, to provide for programs and activities with respect to the
prevention of underage drinking; as follows:

Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the
following:

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ``Sober Truth on Preventing
Underage Drinking Act'' or the ``STOP Act''.

SEC. 2. AMENDMENT TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE ACT.

Section 519B of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
290bb-25b) is amended by striking subsections (a) through (f)
and inserting the following:
``(a) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
``(1) The term `alcohol beverage industry' means the
brewers, vintners, distillers, importers, distributors, and
retail or online outlets that sell or serve beer, wine, and
distilled spirits.
``(2) The term `school-based prevention' means programs,
which are institutionalized, and run by staff members or
school-designated persons or organizations in any grade of
school, kindergarten through 12th grade.
``(3) The term `youth' means persons under the age of 21.
``(4) The term `IOM report' means the report released in
September 2003 by the National Research Council, Institute of
Medicine, and entitled `Reducing Underage Drinking: A
Collective Responsibility'.
``(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that:

[[Page S11368]]

``(1) A multi-faceted effort is needed to more successfully
address the problem of underage drinking in the United
States. A coordinated approach to prevention, intervention,
treatment, enforcement, and research is key to making
progress. This Act recognizes the need for a focused national
effort, and addresses particulars of the Federal portion of
that effort, as well as Federal support for State activities.
``(2) The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall
continue to conduct research and collect data on the short
and long-range impact of alcohol use and abuse upon
adolescent brain development and other organ systems.
``(3) States and communities, including colleges and
universities, are encouraged to adopt comprehensive
prevention approaches, including--
``(A) evidence-based screening, programs and curricula;
``(B) brief intervention strategies;
``(C) consistent policy enforcement; and
``(D) environmental changes that limit underage access to
alcohol.
``(4) Public health groups, consumer groups, and the
alcohol beverage industry should continue and expand
evidence-based efforts to prevent and reduce underage
drinking.
``(5) The entertainment industries have a powerful impact
on youth, and they should use rating systems and marketing
codes to reduce the likelihood that underage audiences will
be exposed to movies, recordings, or television programs with
unsuitable alcohol content.
``(6) The National Collegiate Athletic Association, its
member colleges and universities, and athletic conferences
should affirm a commitment to a policy of discouraging
alcohol use among underage students and other young fans.
``(7) Alcohol is a unique product and should be regulated
differently than other products by the States and Federal
Government. States have primary authority to regulate alcohol
distribution and sale, and the Federal Government should
support and supplement these State efforts. States also have
a responsibility to fight youth access to alcohol and reduce
underage drinking. Continued State regulation and licensing
of the manufacture, importation, sale, distribution,
transportation and storage of alcoholic beverages are clearly
in the public interest and are critical to promoting
responsible consumption, preventing illegal access to alcohol
by persons under 21 years of age from commercial and non-
commercial sources, maintaining industry integrity and an
orderly marketplace, and furthering effective State tax
collection.
``(c) Interagency Coordinating Committee; Annual Report on
State Underage Drinking Prevention and Enforcement
Activities.--
``(1) Interagency coordinating committee on the prevention
of underage drinking.--
``(A) In general.--The Secretary, in collaboration with the

shall serve as the chair of the Committee.

program authority from an Agency to the Coordinating

interested parties, including States, public health research

shall develop a plan to improve the collection, measurement
and consistency of reporting Federal underage alcohol data.
``(V) Any additional findings resulting from research
conducted or supported under subsection (f).
``(VI) Evidence-based best practices to prevent and reduce
underage drinking and provide treatment services to those

``(IV) Whether or not the State encourages training on the

``(V) Whether or not the State has policies and regulations
with regard to direct sales to consumers and home delivery of
