H.R. 1618 would authorize $2 million for each year over the 2020-2024 period for the Nicholas and Zachary Burt Memorial grant program, which provides assistance to states carrying out prevention activities for carbon monoxide poisoning. The legislation also would require the Consumer Product Safety Commission to submit a report to the Congress that evaluates the implementation of the grant program no later than one year after each fiscal year for which grants are awarded. Based on historical spending for similar activities, CBO estimates that this grant program would cost $8 million over the 2020-2024 period, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts.
