                                   H.R.   435
                 The Credit  Access  and  Inclusion Act  of 2017

           As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services
                              on December  13, 2017


 H.R. 435 would amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act to allow individual people,
 companies, or the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to report to
 consumer credit reporting agencies information related to a consumer's performance in
 making housing lease payments or payments for utility or telecommunication contracts.
 Under the bill, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) would be required to report
 on the effects on consumers of providing such information.

 Using information from the affected agencies about the costs of implementing similar
 requirements, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 435 would cost less than $500,000
 over the 2018-2022 period. Spending by HUD, the Federal Trade Commission, and GAO
 for implementation and enforcement would be subject to the availability of appropriated
 funds.

 Using information from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, CBO estimates that
 enacting H.R. 453 also would increase direct spending by less than $500,000 for the
 agency to issue a rule to implement the changes required under the bill. Because H.R. 435
 would affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the bill would
 not affect revenues.

 CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 435 would not significantly increase net direct
 spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning
 in 2028.

 H.R. 435 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded Mandates Reform  Act.

 The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Stephen Rabent. The estimate was approved by
 H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
