H.R. 4138, Executive Needs to Faithfully Observe and Respect Congressional Enactments of the Law Act of 2014 1 (March 10, 2014)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo1561 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE March 10, 2014 H.R. 4138 Executive Needs to Faithfully Observe and Respect Congressional Enactments of the Law Act of 2014 As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on March 5, 2014 H.R. 4138 would authorize each chamber (through a resolution or joint resolution) to file a civil action in a federal district court to clarify a federal law (that is, seek a declaratory judgment). Under the bill, appeals to a court's decisions could be reviewed directly by the Supreme Court. CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would have no significant impact on the federal budget because any amounts expended for court costs or litigation could also be spent under current law on similar activities. Enacting H.R. 4138 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. H.R. 4138 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 Martin von Gnechten. The estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
