                                 H.R.  2480
  Empowering Law Enforcement to Fight Sex Trafficking Demand Act

           As passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on July 12, 2017


Under the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program, the Department of Justice
makes grants to state and local governments to support a wide range of activities relating to
law enforcement, crime prevention, and victim services. (For 2017, the Congress
appropriated $396 million for this program.) H.R. 2480 would specifically permit grant
recipients to use these funds for programs to combat human trafficking. Because the
legislation would not change the funding level for the JAG program, CBO estimates that
implementing H.R. 2480 would have no significant cost to the federal government.

Enacting H.R. 2480 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2480 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

H.R. 2480 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 Mark Grabowicz. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
