S. 1359 would amend the John F. Kennedy Center Act to authorize additional appropriations for maintenance, repair, and security of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, as well as for capital projects for the center. Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing S. 1359 would cost $146 million over the 2018-2022 period. The bill also would authorize the center to design and display a commemorative plaque recognizing the year 2018 as the 60th anniversary of the National Cultural Center Act, to be funded by private donors.
Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting the bill would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.
S. 1359 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.
