1 H.R. 2229, All Circuit Review Act [1] (February 22, 2018)

handle is hein.congrec/alcutvew0001 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE February 22, 2018 H.R. 2229 All Circuit Review Act As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on February 14, 2018 H.R. 2229 would permanently extend (and retroactively apply) the authority for federal employees to appeal Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) decisions regarding whistleblower cases in any federal court, instead of only the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. Under current law, the authority to file an appeal in any federal court expired in December of 2017. Using information from the MSPB and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, CBO expects that permanently allowing appeals to be filed in any federal circuit would lead to a small increase in the administrative burden of those and other federal agencies. Because many agency offices are located in or near Washington, D.C., that would include attorneys' travel costs and costs associated with researching regional circuit courts' rules and procedures. However, based on the number of such cases in recent years, CBO estimates that those costs would not be significant. Enacting H.R. 2229 could affect direct spending by agencies that are not funded through annual appropriations; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that the net effects would be insignificant for each year. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2229 would not significantly increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028. H.R. 2229 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. On July 18, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 2229, the All Circuit Review Act, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on May 2, 2017. The bills are similar and CBO's estimates of their budgetary effects are the same. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Janani Shankaran. The estimate was approved by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
