Bill Summary

To amend the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 respecting the scoring of preventive health savings. This bill requires the Congressional Budget Office, upon receiving a request from Congress, to determine if legislation would reduce spending outside of the 10-year budget window through the use of preventive health and preventive health services.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to require the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to determine if proposed legislation would reduce spending outside of the 10-year budget window through the use of preventive health and preventive health services. If the CBO determines the legislation would result in substantial reductions in budget outlays, the CBO must include a description and estimate of those reductions in its projections, and may prepare budget projections that include some or all of the budgetary outyears (the two consecutive 10-year periods after the first 10-year budget window). The bill defines "preventive health" as actions that protect, promote, and maintain health and wellness and prevent disease, disability, and premature death, as demonstrated by credible evidence.
