H.R. 4289, DHS Interoperable Communications Act (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 113th
Date Requested June 11, 2014
Requested By House Committee on Homeland Security
Date Sent June 19, 2014
Description:

As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on June 11, 2014

H.R. 4289 would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), within 120 days of the bill’s enactment, to devise a strategy to improve communications among DHS agencies. Within 220 days of enactment and biannually thereafter, DHS would have to prepare a report on the implementation of that strategy. There are ongoing activities within the department to improve communications, so CBO estimates that implementing the bill would not significantly affect spending by DHS in any year. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

H.R. 4289 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.
