Congress 114th
Date Requested Jan. 21, 2015
Requested By House Committee on the Judiciary
Date Sent Jan. 28, 2015
Description:

As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on January 21, 2015

H.R. 181 would authorize the appropriation of $5 million annually over the 2015-2019 period for the Department of Justice to provide grants to state and local governments to improve the investigation and prosecution of child trafficking crimes and to assist victims. Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 181 would cost $18 million over the 2015-2020 period.

We also estimate that the bill would have an insignificant effect on direct spending and revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply to the legislation.

H.R. 181 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
