handle is hein.congrec/cbo11304 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE July 23, 2013 S. 162 Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Act of 2013 As reported by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on June 20, 2013 SUMMARY S. 162 would authorize the appropriation of $40 million annually over the 2015-2019 period for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to make grants to state, local, and tribal governments to improve the treatment of mentally ill individuals in the criminal justice system. Those grants could be used to assist veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces and to develop programs for correctional facilities. Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing S. 162 would cost $95 million over the 2014-2018 period. The remaining amount of $105 million would be spent in subsequent years. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues. S. 162 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The estimated budgetary impact of S. 162 is shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 750 (administration ofjustice). CBO assumes that the authorized amounts will be appropriated near the start of each fiscal year and that outlays will follow the historical rate of spending for those activities. The Congress appropriated $9 million for fiscal year 2012 for grants to assist mentally ill offenders.
