This table was revised on June 1, 2020, to correct a spreadsheet error that overstated discretionary outlays under division A by $3.4 billion dollars over the 2021-2022 period.

Components may not sum to totals because of rounding.

Estimates are relative to CBO's March 2020 baseline, except as noted. Enactment is assumed in July 2020.

•  between -$500 million and $500 million.

The Heroes Act is appropriation legislation, but subsection 10607(d) and section 11009 of division A specify requirements for the budgetay treatment of subsection 10607(d) and for divisions B through T.
Consistent with those requirements, and at the direction of the House Committee on the Budget, subsection 10607(d) and divisions B through T are considered authorizing legislation rather than appropriation
legislation and thus their estimated direct spending and revenue effects are subject to pay-as-you-go procedures. However, the legislation also would require the estimated budgetary effects stemming from those
provisions to be excluded from pay-as-you-go scorecards maintained by the U.S. Senate and the Office of Management and Budget.

The act contains intergovernmental and private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). CBO estimates that the costs of mandates on private entities would exceed the private-
sector threshold established in UMRA, and the costs of mandates on state, local, and tribal governments would fall below the threshold for intergovernmental mandates (those thresholds are $168 million and $84
million, respectively, adjusted annually for inflation).
