Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the following cost estimate for H.R. 7661, Stop the Sexualization of Children
available to the Committee on Education and Workforce at the time of the filing of the legislative report.
H.R. 7661, STOP THE SEXUALIZATION OF CHILDREN ACT, AS REPORTED BY THE

Increases net direct spending in any of the four
consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2037? No.
Increases on-budget deficits in any of the fou consecutive
10-year periods beginning in 2037? No.
Statutory pay-as-you-go procedures apply? No.
Mandate Effects:
Contains intergovernmental mandate? No.
Contains private-sector mandate? No.
H.R. 7661 would prohibit the use of federal funds awarded
under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to
provide or promote programs, literature, or other materials
to children under the age of 18 that contain sexually
oriented content, including gender dysphoria or
transgenderism. The bill would exempt certain content that
includes science coursework, religious texts, and classic
works of art and literature, and instruction intended to help
students recognize sexual trafficking.
CBO expects schools and other entities would comply with
the requirements in H.R. 7661 and that any federal funds that
would have been used for those purposes under current law
would be used for other purposes.
Based on the cost of implementing similar prohibitions, CBO
estimates that the costs to the Department of Education to
implement H.R. 7661 would be insignificant; any related
spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated
funds.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Garrett
Quenneville. The estimate was reviewed by Chad Chirico,
Director of Budget Analysis.

Director, Congressional Budget Office.
