S. 3196 would authorize activities to reduce sexual assault and harassment at the United States Merchant Marine Academy. The bill also would amend the conditions under which a Merchant Mariner Credential could be revoked or suspended. CBO estimates that enacting S. 3196 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 bill. The bill would impose a private-sector mandate as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act that would not exceed the annual threshold of $184 million in 2022 (adjusted annually for inflation). The bill contains no intergovernmental mandates.
