Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act: Selected Changes Impacting Public-Private Partnerships

On November 15, President Biden signed into law the $1 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (the “IIJA” or the “Act”) which cleared the House of Representatives in early November after months of delay. The new law (also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework or BIF) garnered considerable bipartisan support in the Senate where it was negotiated and crafted over the summer, and a narrow but ultimately determinative slice of crossover votes in the House. The first of two large infrastructure packages promised under the Administration’s Build Back Better agenda, the Act allocates $550 billion in new federal funding in a bold attempt to address decades of underinvestment in America’s infrastructure. These funds will go to support investments in highways, passenger and freight rail, public transit, ports, airports, water, broadband, energy efficiency, power and grid resiliency and electric vehicle charging stations, as well as to fund a number of research and pilot programs

Summary of Provisions in the Build Back Better Bill

After months of negotiations, on November 19, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a $1.85 trillion “Build Back Better” 10-year budget reconciliation package, by a near party-line vote of 220-213. However, the Senate is expected to modify the historic social spending and climate legislation in an effort to win over the razor-thin Democratic majority. Two Senate moderates, Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), have yet to publicly endorse the House-passed measure. Before the bill can become law, they and other Senators may seek changes prior to another vote in the House, and then to the President for his signature.

Build Back Better for Climate and Energy

Climate and energy provisions of the Build Back Better Act represent the single-largest investment in our nation’s low-carbon future, putting United States on a pathway toward meeting its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 50 to 52 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. The U.S. Senate will soon consider the measure and will almost certainly revise the version that passed the House last month.

House Build Back Better Legislation Advances Racial Equity

The Build Back Better legislation approved by various House committees would help drive a more equitable recovery by making investments in children, workers, and health care that will enable more people to reach their full potential and share in the nation’s growth.[2] Achieving these goals requires dismantling our nation’s long-standing racial disparities, deeply rooted in racism and discrimination, that have driven starkly unequal opportunities and outcomes in education, employment, health, and housing and have fueled substantial racial income and wealth gaps. The House legislation takes important steps in advancing racial equity, not only by making key investments in programs that can promote opportunity but also by funding these investments with revenues raised through progressive policies from the wealthy and profitable corporations.

The Impact of the Build Back Better Act (H.R. 5376) on Inflation

On November 19th, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5376 , the Build Back Better (BBB) Act, which is now under consideration in the Senate. PWBM estimates that H.R. 5376 includes $2.1 trillion in new spending and tax expenditures, offset by $1.8 trillion in new revenues and other savings. With consumer prices rising at the fastest pace in decades, policymakers have raised concerns about the legislation’s impact on inflation, especially if provisions scheduled to expire after several years were extended permanently. In this brief, PWBM analyzes BBB’s impact on inflation over the coming decade.

CBO Scoring of Immigration Provisions in the Build Back Better Act

CBO estimates that enacting this title would result in a net increase in the unified deficit totaling $115.1 billion over the 2022-2031 period. That increase in the deficit would result from an increase in direct spending of $147.2 billion and an increase in revenues of $32.1 billion. Some of those budgetary effects are associated with Social Security, which is classified as off-budget. The increase in the on-budget deficit over that period would be $121.7 billion. The budgetary effects would be noticeably greater during the following decade, resulting in an increase in the unified deficit totaling $369 billion over the 2032-2041 period.

Build Back Better/Reconciliation Bill: Public Investment Versus Public Consumption

There are dueling estimates of the economic effects of H.R.5376, the “Build Back Better Act” or “Reconciliation bill.” Some analysts argue that it would increase growth, while others say the opposite. Identifying parts of the Build Back Better Act as “investment” does not necessarily mean that they are good, just as identifying other parts of the Act as “consumption” does not necessarily mean that they are bad. However, so identifying the components of the bill does serve a purpose.

The Build Back Better agenda is the Biden administration and Democrats in Congress’ once-in-a-generation push to truly invest in our country’s children and families. The framework introduced by President Biden and the corresponding bill drafted by House Democrats represent an opportunity to boost families’ economic stability and reduce racial inequities in income, housing, education, and health care that disproportionately harm Black, Latino, and Indigenous children.
