"The CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing H.R. 2952 would have discretionary costs totaling less than $500,000 in each of fiscal years 2014 and 2015. [...] The bill would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), within 180 days of the bill's enactment, to transmit to the Congress a strategic plan for research and development efforts addressing the protection of critical infrastructure and a report on departmental use of public-private consortiums to develop technology to protect such infrastructure."
