Congressional Budget Office Scheduling Reform Act

This bill would require the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), a nonpartisan agency that analyzes federal spending and economic issues, to create and publish an annual schedule showing when it expects to release its major recurring reports. The schedule would need to include expected publication dates for key reports on the federal budget baseline, deficit reduction options, accuracy of past budget projections, and programs with unauthorized appropriations.

Under the bill, the CBO would be required to publish this schedule on its public website by December 31 each year and update it as needed throughout the following year. The practical effect would be to increase transparency and predictability around when Congress and the public can expect to receive important budget analysis and economic reports from the CBO. This bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
