This bill contains provisions related to education, immigration, and drug regulation and litigation. The Department of Education (ED) shall advise each student and borrower applying for federal student aid or other programs related to student aid that ED may request the applicant's tax return from the Internal Revenue Service as necessary. The bill also increases the funding authorized for Pell Grants. TITLE I--NO BAN ACT National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants Act or the NO BAN Act This title imposes limitations on the President's authority to suspend or restrict aliens from entering the United States and terminates certain presidential actions implementing such restrictions. It also prohibits religious discrimination in various immigration-related decisions, such as whether to issue an immigrant or non-immigrant visa, unless there is a statutory basis for such discrimination. The President may temporarily restrict the entry of any aliens or class of aliens after the Department of State determines that the restriction would address specific and credible facts that threaten U.S. interests such as security or public safety. This title also imposes limitations on such restrictions, such as requiring the President, State Department, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to (1) only issue a restriction when required to address a compelling government interest, and (2) narrowly tailor the suspension to use the least restrictive means to achieve such an interest. Before imposing a restriction, the State Department and DHS shall consult with Congress. The State Department and DHS shall report to Congress about the restriction within 48 hours of the restriction's imposition. If such a report is not made, the restriction shall immediately terminate. Individuals or entities present in the United States and unlawfully harmed by such a restriction may sue in federal court. TITLE II--AFFORDABLE PRESCRIPTIONS FOR PATIENTS ACT OF 2020 Affordable Prescriptions for Patients Act of 2020 This title prohibits drug manufacturers from actions related to product hopping (generally actions seen as attempts to switch from selling one drug to another largely similar drug in order to limit generic competition). This title also imposes certain restrictions on patent infringement litigation related to biological products and biosimilars. A manufacturer of a reference drug or biological product shall, with certain exceptions, be deemed to have engaged in unfair competition if the manufacturer (1) takes certain actions related to the reference product, such as stopping its manufacture; (2) takes such an action during a certain time period that starts when it receives notice that another company has applied to market a generic or biosimilar version of the reference product; and (3) markets a follow-on product (generally, a drug or biological product that is a modification or reformulation of the reference product). Such actions shall not be unfair competition if the reference product manufacturer justifies its actions, such as by establishing that it switched to the follow-on product due to safety concerns related to the reference product. The Federal Trade Commission may enforce this title by initiating administrative proceedings against the reference product manufacturer or suing in district court. This title also limits, with some exceptions, the number of certain types of patents that a reference biological product manufacturer may assert in an infringement lawsuit against a company that (1) is applying for Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of a product that is biosimilar to the reference product, and (2) references the reference product in its application. This limit generally applies to patents that (1) have a filing date more than four years after the reference product received FDA approval, or (2) claim a manufacturing process method that the reference product manufacturer is not using. To take advantage of this limit, the company seeking FDA approval for its biosimilar product must take certain actions, such as providing a copy of its application to the reference product manufacturer. The court handling such a patent infringement lawsuit may allow the reference product manufacturer to assert more patents than the limit if there is good cause to do so or if the interest of justice so requires. TITLE III--ACCESS TO COUNSEL ACT OF 2020 Access to Counsel Act of 2020 This title provides various protections for covered individuals subject to secondary or deferred inspections when seeking admission into the United States. Covered individuals include U.S. nationals, lawful permanent residents, aliens in possession of a visa, and refugees. The Department of Homeland Security shall ensure that a covered individual subject to secondary or deferred inspection has a meaningful opportunity to consult with counsel and certain related parties, such as a relative, within an hour of the start of the secondary inspection and as necessary during the inspection process. The counsel and related party shall be allowed to advocate on behalf of the covered individual, including by providing evidence and information to the examining immigration officer. A lawful permanent resident subject to secondary or deferred inspection may not abandon lawful permanent resident status until the individual has had a reasonable opportunity to seek advice from counsel, unless the individual voluntarily and knowingly waives in writing this opportunity to seek counsel's advice.

CHN support H.R. 6 the American Dream and Promise Act of 2019 that would provide permanent protection and a path to citizenship for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA), Temporary Protective Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforcement Deportation (DED) recipients. CHN supports provisions in H.R. 3401 the making Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for the Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2019 that: provides humanitarian assistance for immigrant children and families in the Office of Refugee Resettlement facilities that are Flores compliant and state-licenses; limits transfer of funds in (Department of Homeland Security (DHS); and precludes information obtained from children being shared with ICE and CBP. CHN opposes provisions that provide more funding for ICE and CBP for more detention beds and enforcement.

Res. 56, which applies the Congressional Review Act to repeal the Education Departments seriously problematic new borrower defense rule Oppose the notice published in the Federal Register on September 19, 2019 by the Department of Education regarding the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC). Disaggregated data reported in the CRDC by race, ethnicity, native language, socioeconomic status, English learner status, disability status, disability type, and sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity) help us to know about students experiences in schools and whether all students have equal access to education. Effective data collection and dissemination are necessary for evaluation and review of all other programs and activities. Any change to limit the scope, frequency, or public accessibility of the civil rights data collection would certainly hamper the ability of the department to fulfill its legal obligations and would undermine our shared interest in the best education for every child. Support HR 5363, The Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education Act or the FUTURE Act under which $255 million in annual mandatory funding would be permanently authorized for historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and other minority-serving institutions (MSIs). The bill represents a compromise between the House and the Senate which permanently reauthorized the fund and increased Pell grants.
