## Summary

**Include public debt servicing costs** in official legislative cost estimates so interest on added debt figures into how lawmakers measure a bill's fiscal effect. The bill would require the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) to include those debt-service costs in estimates to the extent practicable. - Lawmakers and budget analysts would see scorekeeping that tries to account for interest on added debt. That can make long-term costs of proposals look larger. - The Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation would need to include debt-service costs when practicable. The bill does not prescribe methods, thresholds, or dollar tests for how to calculate those costs. - The public and watchdogs would get more complete cost estimates that reflect debt-service obligations. That may change how proposals are judged politically and fiscally. *Would not authorize new spending or revenue changes and instead changes how costs are reported by requiring debt-service estimates when practicable.*
