REPEAL CBO Requirements Act

What this bill does

This bill allows congressional committee chairs to use private accounting firms instead of the Congressional Budget Office to estimate legislation costs.
It affects most congressional committees, excluding appropriations committees, and their budget analysis processes.
Private firms must be among the 10 largest public accounting firms, and their estimates become binding for budget enforcement.
