ial in honor of the victims of the Saint Francis Dam disaster. The disaster occurred in 1928 when the Saint Francis Dam in California collapsed, resulting in the deaths of over 400 people. The bill calls for the establishment of a memorial at the site of the dam to commemorate the lives lost and to educate the public about the disaster. The memorial will be managed by the National Park Service and will include interpretive exhibits, visitor facilities, and other amenities to ensure that the site is properly preserved and maintained. In addition to creating the memorial, the bill also authorizes the appropriation of funds for its construction and maintenance. The memorial will serve as a reminder of the tragic events of the Saint Francis Dam disaster and will honor the memory of those who lost their lives. Overall, the Saint Francis Dam Disaster National Memorial Act seeks to ensure that the victims of this devastating event are never forgotten and that future generations are aware of the importance of dam safety and infrastructure maintenance.

r to include situations where there are low or no snowfall amounts. This bill seeks to recognize that lack of snowfall can also have a significant impact on businesses, particularly those in industries that rely on winter weather conditions. The proposed legislation would allow businesses that are affected by low or no snowfall amounts to qualify for disaster assistance programs provided by the Small Business Administration. This could include loans, grants, and other forms of financial assistance to help businesses recover from the economic impact of a lack of snowfall. In addition to expanding the definition of a disaster, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes, although specific details on these purposes are not provided in the summary. It is likely that these additional provisions are aimed at further supporting businesses that are impacted by low or no snowfall amounts. Overall, Bill 119 s 1309 seeks to address a gap in current disaster assistance programs by recognizing the economic impact of low or no snowfall amounts on businesses. By modifying the definition of a disaster to include this specific situation, the bill aims to provide much-needed support to businesses that are affected by these weather conditions.

egulated under Medicare. The bill proposes amending title XVIII of the Social Security Act to require drug manufacturers to provide inflation rebates for drugs sold in the commercial market, in addition to those sold through Medicare. One of the key provisions of the bill is changing the base year for calculating these rebates. Currently, drug manufacturers are required to provide rebates based on the average manufacturer price of drugs in 2016. The Prescription Drug Pricing Reform Act seeks to update this base year to reflect more recent pricing data, in order to ensure that rebates accurately reflect current market conditions. By applying inflation rebates to drugs sold in the commercial market, the bill aims to address rising prescription drug costs and ensure that Medicare beneficiaries are not paying more for their medications than necessary. This change could potentially lead to lower drug prices for consumers and reduce overall healthcare spending. Overall, the Prescription Drug Pricing Reform Act seeks to increase transparency and accountability in the pharmaceutical industry, while also working to make prescription drugs more affordable for all Americans.
