H.R. 3973
Faithful Execution of the Law Act of 2014
As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on March 5, 2014
CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 3973 would have no significant cost to the federal
government. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore,
pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
Current law requires the Department of Justice (DOJ) to submit a report to the Congress if
it refrains from enforcing or administering federal laws or regulations because it deems
them unconstitutional. H.R. 3973 would direct DOJ to report to the Congress whenever
any federal agency refrains from enforcing laws or regulations for any reason. Based on the
costs of similar activities currently carried out by DOJ, CBO estimates that implementing
the bill would not have a significant effect on the budget because such reporting costs are
small and subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
H.R. 3973 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal
governments.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Mark Grabowicz. The estimate was approved by
Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
