S. 582, Office of Special Counsel Reauthorization Act of 2017 (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (4 pages)
Congress 115th
Date Requested March 15, 2017
Requested By Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Date Sent May 12, 2017
Description:

S. 582 would authorize appropriations for the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) for fiscal years 2017 through 2022. The bill also would amend several of the laws governing the OSC and would extend new legal protections to federal employees (known as whistleblowers) who report abuse, fraud, and waste related to government activities.

 

CBO estimates that implementing this legislation would cost $155 million over the 2017-2022 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Enacting S. 582 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

 

CBO estimates that enacting S. 582 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

 

S. 582 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.
