H.R. 8466 would require federal agencies to publish a safety plan for mitigating the effects of certain infectious diseases in the workplace. The legislation would require the plans to be made available to the public through the Office of Management and Budget and would require agency inspectors general and the Government Accountability Office to report on different aspects of the plans. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 8466 would have an insignificant effect on direct spending and no effect on revenues over the 2023-2032 period. CBO has not estimated the discretionary costs of implementing the legislation. The legislation contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
