## Summary

**Full transparency for the Congressional Budget Office’s models and data.** This bill would require the Congressional Budget Office to publish every fiscal and policy model, data preparation routine, program, assumption, and computation used to produce cost and other fiscal, social, or economic estimates so outside analysts can replicate the work. - Lawmakers, researchers, and journalists would gain access to the models, code, assumptions, and computations behind CBO cost estimates, allowing independent replication and review. - The public would see updates to any model or routine on the CBO website, and Members of Congress would receive the same materials. - For data that cannot be disclosed, the Director must publish a complete list of variables, descriptive statistics (averages, standard deviations, counts, and correlations) to the extent allowed, cite the statute that bars disclosure, and provide contact information for whoever has unrestricted access. - The requirements would take effect 6 months after enactment.
