H.R. 1468 would require the Department of Justice (DOJ) to establish a program to counter espionage, theft of intellectual property and trade secrets, and threats to critical infrastructure posed by the Chinese government. The bill also would require DOJ to report to the Congress annually on the program’s activities. The bill’s requirements would expire six years after enactment.
Based on the costs of similar activities, and because DOJ is currently working to address those threats, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1468 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2026-2031 period, primarily for the bill’s reporting requirements. Any related spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Jeremy Crimm. The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
