H.R. 5094 would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a strategy to improve its handling of tips or information relating to possible terrorist activity. The bill also would direct DHS to form a working group (including participants from nongovernmental entities) to further enhance its response to such reports. Because the department is currently carrying out activities similar to those required by the bill, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5094 would not have a significant effect on spending by DHS.
Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5094 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.
H.R. 5094 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
