Library of Congress Summary

The summary below was written by the Congressional Research Service, which is a nonpartisan division of the Library of Congress.

10/5/2012--Public Law. (This measure has not been amended since it was passed by the House on September 11, 2012.
The summary of that version is repeated here.) Reporting Efficiency Improvement Act - Amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to repeal a requirement that the Attorney General submit a report to Congress on grants to state and local governments for a program or project to develop or improve the capability to analyze deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Amends the Police Corps Act to repeal the requirement for the Director of the Office of the Police Corps and Law Enforcement Education to submit an annual report on the Police Corps program.

House Republican Conference Summary

The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.

This summary can be found at http://www.gop.gov/bill/112/2/hr6189.

Summary

H.R. 6189 would eliminate reporting requirements for two unfunded, dormant programs that previously were administered by the Office of Justice Programs in the Department of Justice.  H.R. 6189 would eliminate the reporting requirement for grants made under the “DNA Identification Act of 1994.”  The bill would also eliminate the reporting requirement for grants made under the “Police Corps Act.”  These programs are dormant and have not been funded by Congress since FY03 and FY05, respectively.

Cost

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that H.R. 6189 will impose no costs.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.

The bill contains the following citations to other parts of U.S. law:

United States Code

The United States Code is the compilation of permanent laws enacted by Congress. Temporary and other non-permanent laws do not appear in the United States Code. (About half of the United States Code is the law itself, called positive law. The other half is merely a compilation of the laws but has no legal significance.)
