Bill > HR5638

This bill, the CBO Show Your Work Act, requires the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to make publicly available the fiscal and mathematical models, data, and other details of computations used in cost analysis and scoring. Specifically, the bill amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to mandate the CBO to publish on its website the fiscal and policy models, data preparation routines, and detailed information on the data, programs, models, assumptions, and computations used to prepare cost estimates for legislation. This is intended to increase transparency and allow for independent replication of the CBO's cost analyses, with exceptions made for data that cannot be publicly disclosed.
