Include the budgetary effects of judicial and executive actions in the federal budget baseline. This bill would also require agencies to send implementation documentation to the Congressional Budget Office quickly and add a separate table in budget reports for very large actions.
Show full summary
- Congress and the Congressional Budget Office would have to fold the estimated budget effects of judicial actions and executive actions into the baseline and its routine updates, using scorekeeping practices agreed to by the CBO Director and the House and Senate Budget Committees.
- Federal departments, agencies, establishments, and commissions that issue an executive action would have to provide the Director of the CBO, within 10 days after the action takes effect, a list of written implementation documents, any implementation guidance for affected parties, and any other relevant information or data the Director deems appropriate.
- The budget report and its updates would, to the extent practicable, include a separate table listing judicial and executive actions issued since the last publication when the Director estimates those actions have at least $50 billion in budgetary effects over the current year, the budget year, and the nine years after the budget year. Proposed actions would be treated as final for inclusion and would follow established scorekeeping guidelines.
