Bill > S114

This bill amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to require the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to consider potential cost savings from preventive health measures when evaluating the budgetary impact of proposed legislation. Specifically, the bill allows the chairperson or ranking member of certain congressional committees to request that the CBO director analyze whether a proposed measure would result in reduced government spending in future years through the use of preventive health services. If the CBO finds significant potential savings, the director must include those projections in budget analyses, even if they extend beyond the typical budget window. The bill defines "preventive health" as actions that promote health and prevent disease, disability, and premature death, as demonstrated by credible evidence.
