                                  H.R.   3080
                Tribal  Employment and Jobs Protection Act

   As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways and Means on June 15, 2016


H.R. 3080 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to exclude tribal employers from the
requirements under current law that some large employers who do not offer health
insurance coverage that meets certain standards must pay a penalty if they have any
full-time employees who receive a subsidy through a health insurance marketplace. Tribal
employers include Indian tribal governments and certain other tribal organizations, or
certain corporations largely owned by such tribal entities.

The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that enacting H.R. 3080
would reduce revenues by $9 million over the 2016-2026 period and increase outlays by
$110 million over the same period. As a result, H.R. 3080 would increase federal deficits
by $119 million over the 2016-2026 period, JCT estimates. The change in revenues
includes an increase of $44 million in off-budget revenues (from Social Security payroll
taxes). As a result, on-budget deficits are expected to increase by $163 million over the
2016-2026 period. JCT also estimates that the bill would have a small effect on health
insurance coverage, slightly lowering the number of individuals with employment-based
coverage and increasing the number of uninsured individuals.

The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement
procedures for legislation affecting revenues or direct spending. The net changes in
revenues and direct spending that are subject to those pay-as-you-go procedures are shown
in the following table. Only on-budget changes to revenues and direct spending are subject
to pay-as-you-go procedures.

CBO  and JCT estimate that enacting the bill would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the four 10-year periods beginning in
2027.

JCT has determined that the bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates
as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Peter Huether. The estimate was approved by
Mark Booth, Unit Chief, Revenue Estimating.
