U.S. Congress
Washington, DC 20515
June 19, 2015
Honorable Mike Enzi
Chairman
Committee on the Budget
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Mr. Chairman:
As you requested, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has prepared a cost
estimate for S. 1495, the Fairness for Crime Victims Act of 2015, as introduced on
June 3, 2015.
S. 1495 would amend the Congressional Budget Act to establish a point of order,
which a Member of Congress may raise, against certain legislation that would limit
the obligation of funds from the Crime Victims Fund in the Department of Justice.
CBO estimates that enacting S. 1495 would, by itself, have no effect on federal
spending. The bill could affect certain legislative proposals relating to the Crime
Victims Fund, but we have no basis for predicting the future actions of the Congress
under current law or under the provisions of S. 1495. Enacting the bill would not
affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not
apply.
S. 1495 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.
If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased to provide them. The
CBO staff contact is Mark Grabowicz.
Sincerely,
Keith Hall
