S. 1103 would authorize the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to implement a program to combat human trafficking; this program would be known as the Blue Campaign. (DHS currently carries out a similar program, which includes activities to raise awareness of human trafficking and training for law enforcement personnel.) The bill would authorize a total appropriation of $819,000 for the campaign. Assuming appropriation of that amount, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $819,000.
Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 1103 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.
S. 1103 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.
