H.R. 7443, Countering Transnational Repression Act of 2024 (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (2 pages)
Congress 118th
Date Requested April 10, 2024
Requested By House Committee on Homeland Security
Date Sent May 28, 2024
Description:
H.R. 7443 would establish the Transnational Repression Task Force within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The task force would monitor and analyze actions by foreign governments that threaten or intimidate citizens, residents, or other people located in the United States or that occur in the United States as well as any related terrorism threats. The bill also would require the task force to report annually to the Congress about incidents of transnational repression and related terrorism threats from the previous year. Based on the costs of similar activities, CBO expects that DHS would need five employees at an average annual cost of $170,000 per employee to staff the Transnational Repression Task Force and write the annual report. On that basis, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 7443 would cost $5 million over the 2024-2029 period. Any related spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
