                 Put  Trafficking  Victims  First Act of 2017

                     As passed by the House of Representatives
                                on May  23, 2017


H.R. 2473 would require the Department of Justice (DOJ), within three years of enactment,
to undertake several activities to assist victims of trafficking. DOJ would have to initiate
pilot programs to test methods of collecting data on sex and labor trafficking, survey
trafficking victims who have used services available to them, and report to the Congress on
certain issues related to human trafficking.

Based on information from DOJ, CBO estimates that implementing the act would cost
about $2 million over the 2018-2020 period for additional DOJ programs; such spending
would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore,
pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2473 would not
increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year
periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 2473 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.
