                                 H.R.   2749
        Protecting  Business  Opportunities  for Veterans   Act of 2017

          As ordered reported by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs
                                on July 19, 2017


H.R. 2749 would codify some requirements that affect subcontracting by small businesses
owned by veterans. The bill also would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to
certify that a veteran-owned small business would comply with the subcontracting
limitations before awarding any contracts, to develop processes to monitor that
compliance, and to provide annual reports (through 2022) on the number of businesses that
fail to comply.

CBO  expects that under the bill VA would require each business to certify compliance with
all subcontracting laws and limitations through a written form and would periodically
monitor those businesses. On the basis of information from VA, CBO estimates that
implementing H.R. 2749 would cost less than $500,000 to certify, monitor, and provide
reports on compliance to the Congress over the 2017-2022 period, subject to the
availability of appropriations.

Enacting H.R. 2749 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 2749 would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 2749 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 Dwayne M. Wright. The estimate was approved
by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
