What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "CBO Scoring Accountability Act," aims to amend the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. It requires the Congressional Budget Office to provide supplemental analyses of major legislation after it has been enacted into law. These analyses must occur annually for the first 10 years following the enactment of such legislation. The goal is to track the actual costs and changes in Federal revenue resulting from that legislation. The Director must also report to Congress if there are significant discrepancies between previous estimates and actual results.
