S. 1870, Supporting At-Risk Children Act 1 (January 27, 2014)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo1475 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE January 27, 2014 S. 1870 Supporting At-Risk Children Act As reported by the Senate Committee on Finance on December 19, 2013 SUMMARY S. 1870 would make numerous changes to programs for children and families within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Among those changes, the bill would extend funding for Family Connection Grants, impose new placement and reporting rules in foster care, and require states to provide services so that unmarried parents could establish visitation agreements when setting up their child-support order. CBO estimates that enacting the bill would increase direct spending by $487 million over the 2014-2024 period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply to the bill. Enacting S. 1870 would not affect revenues. In addition, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would have a discretionary cost of $125 million over the 2014-2024 period, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts. S. 1870 would impose intergovernmental mandates, as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA), by increasing the stringency of conditions on state governments in their implementation of the Foster Care, Adoption Assistance, and Child Support Enforcement programs. CBO estimates, however, that the cost of the mandates would not exceed the threshold established in UMRA for intergovernmental mandates ($76 million in 2014, adjusted annually for inflation). The bill contains no private-sector mandates as defined in UMRA. ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The estimated budgetary impact of S. 1870 is shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget functions 500 (education, training, employment, and social services) and 600 (income security).
