S. 1620, DHS IT Duplication Reduction Act of 2015 (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 114th
Date Requested June 24, 2015
Requested By Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Date Sent July 6, 2015
Description:

S. 1620 would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), within 90 days of the bill’s enactment, to prepare a report for the Congress on duplicative information technology systems in the department. DHS is currently carrying out activities similar to those required by the bill. Thus, CBO estimates that implementing S. 1620 would not significantly affect spending by the department. Enacting S. 1620 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

S. 1620 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.

On June 3, 2015, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 1626, the DHS IT Duplication Reduction Act of 2015, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on May 20, 2015. The two bills are identical and CBO’s estimates of budgetary effects are the same.
