H.R. 135 would amend the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and
Retaliation Act of 2002 to expand the current process used to investigate and resolve federal
employees' claims of discrimination by other federal employees. The act also would increase
the amount of information that must be reported and made available concerning such
discrimination cases.

Using information from the Office of Personnel Management and the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission, CBO expects that most of the provisions in the act would build on
the current policies and practices of the federal government. Currently, the federal
government, through laws, regulations, and agency policies, prohibits discrimination in all
phases of employment. CBO expects that agencies would incur costs to track and report
discriminatory acts and to notify the public of any violations of antidiscrimination laws.
Based on the costs of similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 135 would
cost $1 million over the 2020-2024 period; such spending would be subject to the availability
of appropriated funds.
