H.R. 158, Visa Waiver Program Improvement Act of 2015 (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 114th
Date Requested June 25, 2015
Requested By House Committee on Homeland Security
Date Sent July 21, 2015
Description:

H.R. 158 would make administrative changes to the visa waiver program, under which citizens of certain countries may visit the United States temporarily without a visa, and would require the Department of Homeland Security to prepare several reports to the Congress on national security issues affected by the visa waiver program.

Based on the costs of similar reports, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 158 would cost about $1 million in 2016 and less than $500,000 annually thereafter, assuming appropriation of the necessary funds. Because enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

H.R. 158 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.
