H.R. 1300
First Responder Anthrax Preparedness Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on May 20, 2015
H.R. 1300 would direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in consultation with
the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to provide anthrax vaccines from
the Strategic National Stockpile to first responders who volunteer to receive them. Under
the bill, DHS would establish a tracking system for the vaccine and would provide
educational outreach for the program. The bill would direct DHS, in coordination with
HHS, to establish a pilot program in at least two states to begin providing the vaccine.
Based on information provided by DHS and HHS, CBO estimates that implementing
H.R. 1300 would cost about $4 million over the 2016-2020 period, assuming appropriation
of the necessary amounts. Enacting H.R. 1300 would not affect direct spending or
revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 1300 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.
The CBO staff contacts for this estimate are Martin von Gnechten (for the Department of
Homeland Security) and Rebecca Yip (for the Department of Health and Human Services).
The estimate was approved by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget
Analysis.
