H.R. 1281
Newborn Screening Saves Lives Reauthorization Act of 2014
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce
on April 3, 2014
SUMMARY
H.R. 1281 would amend the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize grant programs and
other initiatives to promote expanded screening of newborns and children for heritable
disorders. Authority to operate those programs expired at the end of fiscal year 2013.
However, the Congress appropriated funds for fiscal year 2014 to continue the programs in
2014.
CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1281 would cost $80 million over the 2015-2019
period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. H.R. 1281 would not affect
direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 1281 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or
tribal governments.
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The estimated budgetary impact of H.R. 1281 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within budget function 550 (health).
