S.315
Paul D. Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Community Assistance,
Research, and Education Amendments of 2014
As reported by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor,
and Pensions on July 23, 2014
SUMMARY
S. 315 would amend the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize surveillance, research,
and education activities relating to muscular dystrophy. The bill would expand the
portfolios of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) to include additional forms of muscular dystrophy. It also would
direct CDC to capture more representative data regarding muscular dystrophy across
populations.
CBO estimates that implementing S. 315 would cost $323 million over the 2015-2019
period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Pay-as-you-go procedures do
not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues.
S. 315 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The estimated budgetary effect of S. 315 is shown in the following table. The costs of this
legislation fall within budget function 550 (health).
