Improving Child Nutrition Integrity and Access Act of 2016 1 (March 11, 2016)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo2863 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE Keith Hall, Director U.S. Congress Washington, DC 20515 March 11, 2016 Honorable Pat Roberts Chairman Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Re: Improving Child Nutrition Integrity andAccess Act of2016 Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated the budgetary effects of the Improving Child Nutrition Integrity and Access Act of 2016, as ordered reported by the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry on January 20, 2016, and posted on the committee's website. The legislation would make changes to child nutrition programs-primarily the National School Lunch Program, the School Breakfast Program, the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). It also would reauthorize through 2020 the SFSP and funding for state administration of child nutrition programs. (Other child nutrition programs are permanently authorized.) Relative to CBO's March 2015 baseline (updated to include actual reimbursement rates for the 2015-2016 school year), CBO estimates that enacting this legislation would increase the federal budget deficit by $1.1 billion over the 2016-2025 period. (See Table 1; direct spending would increase by $1.1 billion over that period and revenues would increase by $7 million.) Because enacting the legislation would affect direct spending and revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Implementing the legislation also would affect spending subject to appropriation, in particular for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. However, CBO has not yet completed an estimate of the discretionary spending effects of the bill.
