Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 respecting the scoring of preventive health savings.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to require the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to consider potential savings from preventive health measures when projecting the budgetary impact of proposed legislation. Specifically, the bill requires the CBO Director to determine if a proposed measure would result in reduced budget outlays in future years through the use of preventive health services. If so, the CBO must include estimates of these potential savings in their budget projections, even if the projections go beyond the typical 10-year timeframe. The bill defines "preventive health" as actions to protect, promote, and maintain health and wellness in order to prevent disease, disability, and premature death, as demonstrated by credible evidence.
