                                 H.R. 5046
           Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Reduction Act of 2016

    As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on April 27, 2016


SUMMARY

H.R. 5046 would authorize the appropriation of $103 million annually over the 2017-2021
period for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to make grants to state, local, and tribal
governments for programs to combat opioid abuse. The bill also would eliminate the
current authorization of appropriations of $20 million annually over the 2017-2021 period
for DOJ to make grants to state and local governments for law enforcement emergencies.
That grant program last received an appropriation in 2013 of about $4 million. Assuming
appropriation actions consistent with the bill, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5046
would have a net discretionary cost of $248 million over the 2017-2021 period, and
$167 million after 2021.

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues, so pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5046 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2027.

H.R. 5046 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 impact of H.R. 5046 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within budget function 750 (administration of justice). CBO assumes
that the bill will be enacted near the end of 2016 and that outlays will follow the historical
rate of spending for similar activities.
