S. 3948, a bill to amend the Alyce Spotted Bear and Walter Soboleff Commission on Native Children Act to extend the deadline for a report by the Alyce Spotted Bear and Walter Soboleff Commission on Native Children, and for other purposes
Cost Estimate
As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs
on July 29, 2020
S. 3948 would extend the time for the Alyce Spotted Bear and Walter Soboleff Commission on Native Children to complete its report from three years to five years.
Using information from the commission, CBO estimates that implementing S. 3948 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2020-2025 period, subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Those costs would primarily be for travel expenses and preparing the report.
Enacting S. 3948 would affect direct spending because the commission would be able to accept and spend gifts for two additional years. However, CBO estimates that the net effect on direct spending would be insignificant.
