H.R. 203, Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act 1 (January 28, 2015)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo2066 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE January 28, 2015 H.R. 203 Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs on January 21, 2015 SUMMARY H.R. 203 would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to have programs for mental health care and suicide prevention evaluated annually. The bill also would extend the period of eligibility for health care for combat veterans and establish pilot programs for community outreach and repayment of education loans. In total, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $24 million over the 2015-2020 period, subject to appropriation of the necessary amounts. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues. H.R. 203 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments. ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The estimated budgetary effect of H.R. 203 is shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 700 (veterans benefits and services). BASIS OF ESTIMATE For this estimate, CBO assumes that the legislation will be enacted early in calendar year 2015, that the necessary amounts will be appropriated for each year, and that outlays will follow historical spending patterns for similar and existing programs.
