handle is hein.congrec/cbo2496 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE August 14, 2015 H.R. 1725 National All Schedules Prescription Electronic Reporting Reauthorization Act of 2015 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on July 29, 2015 SUMMARY H.R. 1725 would reauthorize funding for grants to states and territories to establish, improve, or maintain an electronic database system for monitoring the dispensing of controlled substances. Under current law, most states operate such systems and receive funding from a variety of sources to maintain or improve those systems. The bill also would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to monitor the states' efforts to achieve interoperability of the database systems for the purpose of sharing information with bordering states and with other systems such as those for electronic health records. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $10 million a year for fiscal years 2016 through 2020. Assuming appropriation of those amounts, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1725 would cost $43 million over the 2016-2020 period. Enacting H.R. 1725 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. H.R. 1725 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The estimated budgetary effects of H.R. 1725 are shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 550 (health).
