Premium   Download PDF Now (2 pages)
Congress 114th
Date Requested Feb. 26, 2015
Requested By Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
Date Sent March 9, 2015
Description:

As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on February 26, 2015

S. 304 would award a portion of penalties levied on certain companies that manufacture motor vehicles or parts to individuals who provide information that leads to the imposition of those penalties (those individuals are known as whistleblowers). Based on information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), CBO estimates that in any one year, the effect of enacting S. 304 would likely be small, but that over the 2015-2025 period, enacting S. 304 would increase direct spending by $3 million. Because enacting the legislation would affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the legislation would not affect revenues.

S. 304 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.
