Bill > HR6101

This bill requires the Director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) - an independent agency that provides budget and economic information to Congress - to testify at two annual hearings before the Budget Committees in both the House of Representatives and the Senate when requested by the committee chairs. These hearings can cover any topics the committees choose, but are expected to include a review of the CBO's baseline projections and estimates from the most recently completed fiscal year. The bill amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 by adding a new section that mandates these annual testimony requirements, ensuring greater transparency and accountability for the CBO's economic analysis and budget forecasting. By requiring the CBO Director to appear before congressional budget committees annually, the legislation aims to provide lawmakers with an opportunity to directly question and assess the agency's work and methodologies.
