What this bill does

  • The bill requires the Congressional Budget Office to track how accurate its cost predictions were for major laws.
  • Congress and the public are affected, as they will receive annual reports comparing predicted versus actual spending.
  • The CBO must publish analyses for 10 years after a major law passes, at no specified additional cost to implement.

    How should the CBO prioritize which laws to track given that analyzing past predictions requires staff resources?

  2. 02

    What would constitute sufficient accuracy in CBO cost predictions, and who should decide acceptable error margins?

  3. 03

    Could mandatory retrospective analyses change how Congress uses CBO estimates when drafting future legislation?
