H.R. 1973, Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse Act of 2017 (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 115th
Date Requested May 18, 2017
Requested By House Committee on the Judiciary
Date Sent May 19, 2017
Description:

H.R. 1973 would broaden the coverage of current laws that require reporting of child abuse. As a result, the government might be able to pursue cases that it otherwise would not be able to prosecute. CBO expects that the bill would apply to a relatively small number of offenders, however, so any increase in costs for law enforcement, court proceedings, or prison operations would not be significant. Any such costs would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
