                                 H.R.   1039
                  Probation  Officer  Protection  Act of 2017

     As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on May 3, 2017


H.R. 1039 would amend current law to allow federal probation officers to arrest a person if
there is probable cause that the person has assaulted, intimidated, or otherwise interfered
with any probation officers while performing their official duties. The bill also would
direct the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC) to implement rules and
regulations governing probation officers' conduct while exercising that authority.

Based on an analysis of information provided by the AOUSC about the very small number
of arrests that would probably occur under the bill, CBO estimates that implementing
H.R. 1039 would have no significant effect on the federal budget.

Enacting H.R. 1039 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase
net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

H.R. 1039 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates  Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Robert Reese. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
