Bill > HR6569

This bill requires the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to include the budgetary impacts of executive and judicial actions in its baseline budget calculations and reports. Specifically, the bill mandates that unless budget committee chairs direct otherwise, CBO must account for the financial effects of executive orders, rules, memoranda, and judicial actions when calculating budget projections. Each federal department or agency must provide documentation about these actions to CBO within 10 days of implementation, including written implementation details, guidance for affected parties, and other relevant data. The bill further requires CBO to include a separate table in its reports highlighting any executive or judicial actions with estimated budgetary effects of $50 billion or more over the current year and the following nine years. This legislation aims to increase transparency around the potential fiscal consequences of executive and judicial actions by ensuring they are systematically documented and analyzed in federal budget planning. The bill amends existing laws, specifically the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 and the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, to create these new reporting requirements.
