Congressional Budget Office Data Sharing Act

Sponsored By: Representative Boyle, Brendan F. [D-PA-2]

Became Law

Summary

This law expands the Congressional Budget Office's authority to get information from executive-branch departments, agencies, and regulatory commissions. It clarifies how the CBO may receive material and protects that access from being limited by later laws unless those laws explicitly refer to this new rule.

Show full summary
  • For the CBO: Centralizes the Director's data‑sharing authority and lets the Director accept information with or without a written agreement, which streamlines information collection.
  • For executive-branch agencies: Requires the CBO to honor each source agency's legal confidentiality level when material is shared, preserving agency privacy rules.
  • For congressional budget leaders: Directs the CBO Director to report to the chairs of the House and Senate Budget Committees within one year listing requests for information and any challenges in obtaining it.

Stronger data access for Congressional Budget Office

The law lets the Congressional Budget Office get data from executive agencies with or without a written agreement. The Director must keep the same confidentiality the source agency requires. Within one year of enactment, the Director must report to the House and Senate Budget Committee chairs on requests and any problems getting information. Later laws do not limit this access unless they clearly and specifically say so.
