H.R. 2158
Expedited Departure of Certain Snake Species Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on July 16, 2014
H.R. 2158 would allow exporters of certain species of snakes to transport those snakes
between airports within the United States en route to foreign countries. The bill also would
allow those snakes to be transferred between planes at airports in the United States.
Because those species, which include the Burmese python, Indian Python, Northern and
Southern African pythons, and the yellow anaconda, are classified as injurious wildlife
under the Lacey Act, they must be transported from certain airports in the United States
directly to foreign airports under current law.
Based on information provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the agency
responsible for enforcing the Lacey Act, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2158
would not affect the federal budget. Because enacting the bill would not affect direct
spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 2158 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Jeff LaFave. The estimate was approved by
Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
