HR 9716 United States House · 118th Congress

Increasing Baseline Updates Act

This bill requires the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to provide at least two annual updates to the budget baseline, with one update including the economic data used in its calculations. It also mandates that the President submit technical budget data to Congress by February 1 each year, covering current/prior year estimates and credit reestimates for the upcoming fiscal year. These updates aim to improve the timeliness and transparency of budget information available to Congress. The bill directly affects the CBO and the Executive Branch in their annual budget reporting processes.
