Directing the Clerk of the House of Representatives to compile the cost estimates prepared by the Congressional Budget Office which are included in reports filed by committees of the House on approved legislation and post such estimates on the official public Internet site of the Office of the Clerk.
Summary
House Resolution 1178 requires the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make official cost estimates for proposed legislation more accessible to the general public. Under this measure, the Clerk must maintain a centralized list of Congressional Budget Office (CBO) cost estimates on the House Clerk’s official website, including direct links to the CBO’s findings. This change is intended to provide citizens with a more transparent and convenient way to track the potential financial impact of bills being considered by House committees.
