Premium   Download PDF Now (2 pages)
Congress 114th
Date Requested July 15, 2015
Requested By House Committee on Homeland Security
Date Sent Aug. 6, 2015
Description:

H.R. 2899 would establish the Office for Countering Violent Extremism in the Department of Homeland Security. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $10 million annually over the 2016-2020 period for the office, including $6 million each year for the office to make grants to community groups and other organizations for counter-messaging campaigns targeting violent extremism.

Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2899 would cost $41 million over the 2016-2020 period. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues.

H.R. 2899 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.
