Cost and committee reports

Official records Congress.gov attaches to H.R. 757.

CBO cost estimateThe Congressional Budget Office published “H.R. 757, North Korea Sanctions Enforcement Act of 2015” on March 16, 2015. CBO’s description reads “As ordered reported by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on February 27, 2015 H.R. 757 would expand existing sanctions against North Korea. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $10 million over the 2016-2020 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Pay-as-you-go procedures apply to this legislation because it would affect direct spending and revenues; however, CBO estimates that those effects would not be significant”.
