                                H.R. 3500
           Ensuring Integrity in the IRS Workforce Act of 2017

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways and Means on June 21, 2018


H.R. 3500 would amend federal law to prohibit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from
re-hiring employees who were fired for misconduct. CBO estimates that implementing
H.R. 3500 would not have a significant cost over the next five years because it would not
change the agency's current employment procedures. The staff of the Joint Committee on
Taxation (JCT) estimate that enacting H.R. 3500 would affect revenues over the 2018-
2028 period; therefore, pay-as-you procedures apply. However those effects would be
negligible. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending.

According to the IRS, H.R. 3500 largely would codify the agency's current policies and
practices. As recommended by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration,
the IRS now considers prior conduct and performance issues in the hiring process.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3500 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

JCT has determined that H.R. 3500 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Matthew Pickford. The estimate was reviewed
by Theresa Gullo, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
