Janice Schakowsky

We must continue to support this vital work.

I am especially grateful to Representative Jan Schakowsky for her leadership in introducing the Geriatrics Workforce and Caregiver Enhancement Act legislation.

This bill works to fully achieve the goals of this hearing, supporting tomorrow's health providers.

I am pleased to cosponsor H.R. 3728, the EMPOWER Act, to reauthorize the healthcare workplace development grant programs.

In closing, let me just say some thank yous. I thank the chairman of our subcommittee, Chairman Latta, for his great work. I also thank Chairman Walden, and, of course, all of the staff on his side of the aisle for their work to help us…

I am now pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from the great State of New York (Ms. Clarke), a member of our subcommittee.

The 340B program has a demonstrable effect in helping disproportionate share hospitals and rural hospitals save their patients.

I am all in favor of doing everything we can to make sure that we provide the proper oversight.

Well, I am happy to see that everyone on the committee has expressed their support--just about everybody--for the 340B program

It makes immigrants less likely to report crimes. This bill protects criminals in our communities and not victims. I urge my colleagues to vote for safer communities and vote against this bill.

We have an obligation to examine the best ways to safely deploy these technologies, given the incredible amount of upside that they have.

I am unwilling to yield United States and America not stand at the forefront of innovation and technology.

Safety must be the top priority of AV legislation. Autonomous vehicles have the potential to save lives, reducing the number of accidents caused by human error.

I want to tell you how important I think this hearing is today because this is the new frontier for automobiles.

We can't take those gains for granted, though. Safety improvements depend on rigorous testing, responsible deployment, and consumer confidence in the technology.

I wanted to add to the record a document from the Center for American Progress, a report entitled, 'The Impact of Vehicle Automation on Carbon Emissions.'

Exemptions are no substitute for updated safety standards as more AVs share the road.

I introduced a bill last week called the HOT CARS Act.

I want to thank Chairman Latta and the committee staff for organizing this morning's Internet of Things Showcase.

It seems to me that something as important as a child in the car and saving a life would be so incredibly important.

One of the landmark achievements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Consumer Protection Act was the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Let me just say that I see this subcommittee as a place where we should be protecting the CFPB because we are designated to do consumer protection.

So it would be a tremendous loss to consumers to have its capacities diminished and particularly as my colleague here to the left said about its UDAAP authority.

The CFPB has done amazing work for consumers, returning $12 billion to nearly 29 million Americans who have been wronged.

I think that we cannot do those things without an empowered Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and today on the floor we are going to do a lot to undermine Dodd-Frank.
