Congress 114th
Date Requested Jan. 12, 2016
Requested By House Committee on the Judiciary
Date Sent Feb. 11, 2016
Description:

H.R. 1854 would authorize the appropriation of $30 million annually over the 2016-2021 period for the Department of Justice to make grants to state, local, and tribal governments to improve mental health services in the criminal justice system. Those grants would include programs to enhance services provided by correctional facilities and programs to assist certain military veterans. Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1854 would cost $113 million over the 2016-2021 period and $26 million after 2021.

Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because enacting it would not affect direct spending or revenues. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1854 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

H.R. 1854 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
