H.R. 1433 would direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a plan to
improve employee morale and enhance communications within the department. The act also
would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to investigate and assess the
consistency and fairness of disciplinary actions imposed on DHS employees.
The DHS office of the Chief Human Capital Officer currently carries out activities to bolster
employee morale and improve communications; that office spends about $70 million
annually. Using information from DHS and the costs of similar activities, CBO estimates
that implementing the act's provisions would cost about $1 million in fiscal year 2020 for the
GAO report and a few additional DHS administrative tasks. Such spending would be subject
to the availability of appropriated funds.

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