What this bill does
- The bill requires the Congressional Budget Office to publicly release the models and data it uses to estimate how bills affect the budget and economy.
- Congress and the public are affected, as they gain access to the methodology behind cost estimates for proposed legislation.
- The CBO must disclose enough detail for independent replication, with exceptions only for legally protected data.
