CBO Scoring Accountability Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Not yet voted on. This bill is still a proposal: it hasn't reached a floor vote, and its text can change in committee or on the floor before any vote.

CBO Scoring Accountability Act

This bill requires the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to provide additional cost estimates and reports regarding major legislation that has been enacted into law.

Under the bill, major legislation is any bill or joint resolution that would be projected to result in outlays of mandatory spending or receipts of federal revenue equal to or greater than 0.25% of the current projected gross domestic product of the United States for that year.

For the first 10 years after major legislation has been enacted into law, the bill requires CBO to annually prepare and make publicly available an analysis of the results of carrying out the provisions of the legislation. The analysis must include

  • an estimate of the costs and the change in federal revenue as a result of the legislation,
  • a comparison of the current and previous estimates of the costs and change in revenue, and
  • any applicable updates to the estimates.

The bill also requires CBO to submit reports to Congress that explain any discrepancy between the actual and estimated costs and change in revenue that is greater than or equal to 10%.
