   District of Columbia Courts and Public Defender Service Voluntary
                     Separation Incentive Payments Act

SUMMARY

H.R. 5037 would amend the District of Columbia (D.C.) Code to permit the relevant
authorities to establish a program to offer incentive payments to certain nonjudicial
employees of the D.C. courts and the D.C. Public Defender Service for voluntarily
separating from their positions. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5037 would increase
direct spending for retirement annuities and related health benefits by $1 million in fiscal
year 2017 and by $7 million over the 2017-2026 period. In addition, assuming the
appropriation of the necessary funds, CBO estimates that the separation payments would
increase discretionary outlays by $3 million over the 2017-2026 period.

Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation would affect direct
spending.

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

H.R. 5037 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would not affect the budgets of state, local,
or tribal governments.

(administration of justice) and 800 (general government).
