handle is hein.congrec/cbo2122 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE March 17, 2015 S. 579 Inspector General Empowerment Act of 2015 As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on March 4, 2015 SUMMARY S. 579 would amend the Inspector General Act of 1978. Specifically, the legislation would authorize the appropriation of $51 million over the 2016-2021 period for the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE). In addition, the bill would provide Inspectors General (IGs) with additional investigative authorities and require IGs and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to submit additional reports to the Congress. Based on information from selected IGs and assuming appropriation of the authorized and necessary amounts, CBO estimates that implementing S. 579 would cost $45 million over the 2016-2020 period. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. S. 579 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 S. 579 is shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within all budget functions that have funding for IGs.
