Sponsored By: Representative Lee, Barbara [D-CA-12]

Became Law

Summary

Short deadline extensions across several federal programs. The law moves a handful of December 2022 deadlines for multiple agencies and directs that those budget effects not be recorded on PAYGO scorecards or certain budget calculations.

Show full summary
  • Telecom and spectrum bidders: the Federal Communications Commission may exercise its auction authority through December 30, 2022, extending the window for spectrum auctions tied to that date.
  • Parole system: the act updates timing language in the Sentencing Reform Act to reflect a 35-year and 60-day period and repeals a superseded provision, which clarifies parole-related timing references.
  • Funds, accounts, and budget scorekeeping: it extends the special assessment mechanism for the Domestic Trafficking Victims' Fund and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Customer Protection Fund expenses account, extends a moratorium tied to PL 113-76 to December 31, 2022, and instructs that these budgetary effects not be entered on statutory or Senate PAYGO scorecards or estimated for certain budget allocations under the Congressional Budget Act.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

6 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.

Keeps federal funding through December 30

The law extends continuing federal funding to December 30, 2022. Agencies keep operating. Paychecks for federal workers and many contractors continue. Programs and services can keep running through that date. This takes effect upon enactment.

Short extension of a federal moratorium

The law extends an existing federal moratorium to December 31, 2022. People and organizations covered by that moratorium stay protected until then. The change takes effect upon enactment.

Trafficking victims’ fund fee extended

The law extends the special court fee that supports the Domestic Trafficking Victims’ Fund to December 30, 2022. Courts keep collecting the assessment until that date. This keeps money available to help trafficking survivors. The change takes effect upon enactment.

Short extensions for spectrum auctions and CFTC fund

The law extends two market tools through December 30, 2022. The FCC keeps its authority to run spectrum auctions until then. The CFTC can keep using its Customer Protection Fund expenses account through that date. This mainly affects telecom and financial market participants. The change takes effect upon enactment.

Parole Commission window extended 14 days

The law lengthens a key parole timing reference from 35 years and 46 days to 35 years and 60 days. This can delay some parole-related outcomes by 14 days. It applies as if it were part of the earlier 2023 continuing appropriations law. An earlier conflicting section in that law has no effect.

Budget scorekeeping turned off for this bill

The law tells budget offices not to count this division’s costs on PAYGO scorecards. It also excludes these effects from some other budget enforcement rules. This changes how the bill is scored, not the services you receive. The change takes effect upon enactment.
