H.R. 3136, Advancing Competency-Based Education Demonstration Project Act of 2014 1 (July 15, 2014)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo1774 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE July 15, 2014 H.R. 3136 Advancing Competency-Based Education Demonstration Project Act of 2014 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce on July 10, 2014 H.R. 3136 would reserve $1 million from funding for the Department of Education to authorize the Secretary to select up to 20 eligible entities to participate in demonstration projects related to competency-based education. Competency-based education focuses on measuring student achievement through an assessment of a student's knowledge and skills rather than by the completion of clock or credit hours. CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 3136 would require $1 million for administrative costs for the department over the 2015-2019 period, assuming the availability of appropriated funds. Additionally, CBO projects that enacting the bill could affect direct spending for student loans and Pell grants; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that any direct spending effects would be insignificant for each year and over the 2015-2024 period. Enacting the bill would have no effect on revenues. H.R. 3136 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. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Justin Humphrey. This estimate was approved by Peter H. Fontaine, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
