                Second Chance Reauthorization Act of 2015

   As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on January 12, 2016


SUMMARY

H.R. 3406 would authorize the appropriation of $100 million annually over the 2017-2021
period for Department of Justice (DOJ) grant programs and other activities to improve the
treatment of inmates and to help offenders reenter communities after they have served their
prison sentences. The grants to state and local governments, Indian tribes, and nonprofit
organizations could be used for substance abuse services, educational and mentoring
programs, and other activities.

Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts and the historical rate of spending for
those activities, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 3406 would cost $333 million over
the 2017-2021 period. (About $150 million would be spent after 2021.)

Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because enacting it would not
affect direct spending or revenues. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3406 would not
increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year
periods beginning in 2027.

H.R. 3406 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
