S. 800 would clarify the purpose of the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (the Center) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and would require the director of the Center to update its research plan at least every five years. CBO estimates that implementing S. 800 would cost $317 million over the 2017-2021 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply because enacting S. 800 would not affect direct spending or revenues.
CBO estimates that enacting S. 800 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.
S. 800 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.
