S. 211, SURVIVE Act (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 116th
Date Requested Jan. 29, 2019
Requested By Senate Committee on Indian Affairs
Date Sent Feb. 8, 2019
Description:
S. 211 would establish a program within the Department of Justice to make grants to Indian tribes to provide services to crime victims, including medical care, counseling, and legal services. For each of the 10 fiscal years after enactment, the bill would set aside 5 percent of the amounts available in the Crime Victims Fund for those grants (spending from that fund is considered direct spending). CBO’s baseline projects that all balances and new deposits into the Crime Victims Fund will be spent under current law (mostly for existing grant programs); thus, enacting the bill would not increase total outlays from the fund. Enacting the bill could affect the timing of outlays but those effects would not be significant in any year over the 2019-2029 period.
