GAO reviews bills for duplication
The bill would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review every bill or joint resolution reported by any congressional committee. GAO would check whether a bill creates a new program, office, or initiative that duplicates or overlaps an existing federal feature. If warranted, GAO would name the new feature, cite the bill section, and point to the earlier GAO report finding the overlap. GAO would send that information to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the committee that reported the bill and publish it on GAO’s website. CBO could include GAO’s information as a supplement to its cost estimate. The amendment would take effect on the earlier of 60 days after OMB updates a listed website or when a new Congress begins after one year from enactment.
