Bill Summary

To amend the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 respecting the scoring of preventive health savings. This bill amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to require the Congressional Budget Office, upon receiving a request from Congress, to determine if legislation would reduce spending outside of the 10-year budget window through the use of preventive health and preventive health services.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to require the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to determine if proposed legislation would reduce spending outside of the 10-year budget window through the use of preventive health and preventive health services. If the CBO determines that the legislation would result in substantial reductions in budget outlays, the CBO must include a description and estimate of these reductions in its budget projections, even if they extend beyond the typical 10-year projection period. The bill defines "preventive health" as actions that protect, promote, and maintain public health and wellness and prevent disease, disability, and premature death, as demonstrated by credible evidence.
