                                   S. 2796
                               RESPECT Act

 As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on September 14, 2016


 S. 2796 would repeal several laws enacted between 1862 and 1913 that stipulated
 situations in which the federal government could withhold funding from Indian tribes or
 tribal members. Such situations include, among others, a tribe being in open conflict with
 the United States, a Native American being under the influence of intoxicating liquors, and
 a tribe not having school-aged members attend school.

 The laws that would be repealed by S. 2796 do not affect the current processes for
providing funds to Indian tribes; therefore CBO estimates that implementing S. 2796
would have no effect on the federal budget.

Enacting S. 2796 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase
net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2027.

S. 2796 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 contact for this estimate is Robert Reese. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
