AI Summary
This bill, the Duplication Scoring Act of 2020, requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to analyze legislation reported by congressional committees in order to prevent duplication of and overlap with existing federal programs, offices, and initiatives. Specifically, the bill amends Section 719 of Title 31 of the United States Code to require the Comptroller General to assess whether a reported bill or resolution would create a new duplicative or overlapping feature with an existing one previously identified in the GAO's annual duplication and overlap reports. The Comptroller General must then provide this information to the Congressional Budget Office, which may include it in the cost estimate for the bill. This aims to help Congress identify and address potential duplicative or overlapping federal efforts when considering new legislation.
