          local prisoners for the same services; and
          (C) the services -
            (i) are provided within or outside of the institution by a
          person who is licensed or certified under State law to

          scope of such license;

          treatment.
        (2) No refusal of treatment for financial reasons. - Nothing in
      this subsection may be construed to permit any refusal of
      treatment to a prisoner on the basis that -
          (A) the account of the prisoner is insolvent; or
          (B) the prisoner is otherwise unable to pay a fee assessed
        under this subsection.
        (3) Notice to prisoners of law. - Each person who is or becomes
      a prisoner shall be provided with written and oral notices of the
      provisions of this subsection and the applicability of this
      subsection to the prisoner. Notwithstanding any other provision
      of this subsection, a fee under this section may not be assessed
      against, or collected from, such person -
          (A) until the expiration of the 30-day period beginning on
        the date on which each prisoner in the prison system is
        provided with such notices; and
          (B) for services provided before the expiration of such
        period.
        (4) Notice to prisoners of state or local implementation. - The
      implementation of this subsection by the State or local
      government, and any amendment to that implementation, shall not
      take effect until the expiration of the 30-day period beginning
      on the date on which each prisoner in the prison system is
      provided with written and oral notices of the provisions of that
      implementation (or amendment, as the case may be). A fee under
      this subsection may not be assessed against, or collected from, a
      prisoner pursuant to such implementation (or amendments, as the
      case may be) for services provided before the expiration of such
      period.
        (5) Notice before public comment period. - Before the beginning
      of any period a proposed implementation under this subsection is
      open to public comment, written and oral notice of the provisions
      of that proposed implementation shall be provided to groups that
      advocate on behalf of Federal prisoners and to each prisoner
      subject to such proposed implementation.
        (6) Comprehensive hiv/aids services required. - Any State or
      local government assessing or collecting a fee under this
      subsection shall provide comprehensive coverage for services
      relating to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired
      immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) to each Federal prisoner in the
      custody of such State or local government when medically
      appropriate. The State or local government may not assess or
      collect a fee under this subsection for providing such coverage.
