                                     S. 3354
                  Missing Children's Assistance Act of 2018

      As reported by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on September 18, 2018


S. 3354 would authorize the appropriation of $40 million annually over the 2019-2023
period for Department of Justice programs to help locate missing children and prevent
child abductions. CBO assumes that the bill will be enacted near the beginning of fiscal
year 2019 and that the specified amounts will be appropriated each year. Based on
historical spending patterns, CBO estimates that implementing S. 3354 would cost
$121 million over the 2019-2023 period, assuming appropriation of the authorized
amounts, as shown in the following table.

The Congress appropriated $76 million for fiscal year 2018 for the programs authorized
by the bill. The costs of the legislation fall within budget function 750 (administration of
justice).

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

CBO estimates that enacting S. 3354 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

S. 3354 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Mark Grabowicz. The estimate was reviewed by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
