Notes
"On August 28, 2019, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 3597, the Solar Energy Research and Development Act of 2019, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology on July 24, 2019. The two pieces of legislation are similar, but CBO’s cost estimates are different because of differences in the authorized amounts. The cost estimate for S. 2668 also reflects enactment of the continuing resolution for 2020."
