H.R. 2711 would designate the memorial to fallen educators located at the National Teachers Hall of Fame in Emporia, Kansas, as a national memorial. The memorial would not become a unit of the National Park System. Using information from the National Park Service, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2711 would have no effect on the federal budget because the bill would prohibit federal funds from being used to operate the memorial.
Enacting H.R. 2711 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2711 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.
H.R. 2711 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
On April 10, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 167, the National Memorial to Fallen Educators Act, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on March 30, 2017. The two bills are identical and CBO’s estimates of their budgetary effects are the same.
