                                 H.R.  2899
                Countering   Violent Extremism Act of 2015

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on July 15, 2015


SUMMARY

H.R. 2899 would establish the Office for Countering Violent Extremism in the Department
of Homeland Security. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $10 million annually
over the 2016-2020 period for the office, including $6 million each year for the office to
make grants to community groups and other organizations for counter-messaging
campaigns targeting violent extremism.

Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing
H.R. 2899 would cost $41 million over the 2016-2020 period. Pay-as-you-go procedures
do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues.

H.R. 2899 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)  and would not affect the budgets of state, local,
or tribal governments.
