                               H. J. Res. 43
  A joint resolution disapproving the action of the District of Columbia
  Council in approving the Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination
                          Amendment Act of 2014

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
                               on April 21, 2015


H. J. Res. 43 would repeal a recently enacted District of Columbia law. Under the District
of Columbia Home Rule Act, the Congress has 30 days to disapprove laws enacted by the
District of Columbia. CBO estimates that the new District of Columbia law-regarding
reproductive health decisions-has no impact on the federal budget. Therefore, CBO
estimates that enactment of H. J. Res. 43 would result in no cost to the federal
government. Because enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or
revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

H. J. Res. 43 would impose an intergovernmental mandate, as defined in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (UMRA), on the District of Columbia by disapproving and
preempting a local law that prohibits employers from discriminating based on
reproductive health decisions. Although the bill would limit the application of a local
law, it would impose no duty that would result in additional spending or loss of revenues.
The bill contains no private-sector mandate as defined in UMRA.

The CBO staff contacts for this estimate are Matthew Pickford (for federal costs) and
Jon Sperl (for state and local impact). This estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo,
Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
