S. 2205 would authorize the Attorney General to make grants to Indian tribes to establish courts to address the treatment of alcohol and drug abuse among convicted offenders. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $10 million a year through fiscal year 2020.
CBO estimates that implementing S. 2205 would cost $31 million over the 2017-2021 period, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply because enacting S. 2205 would not affect direct spending or revenues.
CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.
S. 2205 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
