What this bill would do

This bill is called the Preventive Health Savings Act. It amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 regarding how preventive health savings are scored. The bill allows certain congressional leaders to request that the Director determine if proposed legislation will reduce budget outlays in future years through preventive health care. If the Director finds that the legislation will reduce spending, they must include a description and estimate of those reductions in their projections. However, these estimates are strictly for supplementary use and cannot be used to determine compliance with budgetary enforcement controls.
