S. 125 would authorize the appropriation of $25 million annually over the 2016-2020 period for the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant program. Under this program, the Department of Justice makes grants to state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies to purchase bulletproof vests.
Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO estimates that implementing S. 125 would cost $80 million over the 2016-2021 period. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because enacting it would not affect direct spending or revenues.
CBO estimates that enacting S. 125 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.
S. 125 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
