1 S. 212, Indian Community Economic Enhancement Act of 2019 1 (March 5, 2019)

handle is hein.congrec/cboiceh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate March 5, 2019 S. 212 would reorganize the Office of Native American Business Development (ONABD) within the Department of Commerce (DOC), require that office to serve as the liaison between DOC and Indian tribes, and permanently authorize the appropriation of $2 million a year for that office (or $20 million through 2029). Current law authorizes the appropriation of whatever amounts are necessary for ONABD operations; however, no funds have been appropriated for such purposes since ONABD was originally authorized. The bill also would authorize the appropriation of $34 million a year from 2020 through 2024 (totaling $170 million over the five years) for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to make grants to assist the social and economic development of Native American communities. The authority to make those grants expired at the end of 2002. However, HHS has continued to allocate funds each year for those grants from its appropriation. In 2018, the most recent year for which data is available, that allocation was $34 million. Finally, the bill would require DOC, the Department of the Interior, and the Department of the Treasury to develop coordinated initiatives to encourage investment in Indian communities. Using information from those departments, CBO estimates that implementing those requirements would have no significant effect on the federal budget. CBO assumes that the bill will be enacted in 2019 and that the authorized amounts will be appropriated each year. Estimated outlays are based on historical spending patterns and would total $144 million over the 2019-2024 period, CBO estimates.
