The resolution contains provisions to modify the current laws that prohibit the sale of certain videos or other items that depict animal cruelty. If
  those provisions are enacted, the government could pursue cases that it otherwise would not be able to prosecute. Because those prosecuted and
  convicted under the resolution could be subject to criminal fines, the federal government might collect additional amounts if the resolution could be
  subject to criminal fines, the federal government might collect additional amounts if the resolution is enacted. Criminal fines are recorded as
  revenues, deposited in the Crime Victims Fund, and later spent. CBO estimates that any additional revenues and direct spending would not be
  significant because of the small number of cases likely to be affected.

The bill would extend the period of time available for certain members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their spouses to complete requirements to gain
  permanent U.S. residence. This legislation would affect a small number of people, and CBO estimates that it would have no significant effect on direct
  spending by the Department of Homeland Security or on federal assistance programs.

The bill would clarify that intended spouses of certain members of the United States Armed Forces could obtain certain immigration benefits. This
  legislation would affect a very small number of people, and CB0 estimates that it would have no significant effect on direct spending by the
  Department of Homeland Security or on federal assistance programs.
