H.R. 1365 would authorize the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to promote the use of innovation in its acquisition programs. The legislation would direct DHS to provide information annually to the Congress on activities related to innovative acquisition practices. Based on information from DHS, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1365 would cost less than $500,000 annually; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1365 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.
H.R. 1365 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.
