What this bill would do
This bill, titled the ``Congressional Budget Office Scheduling Reform Act'', seeks to amend the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. It directs the Director of the Congressional Budget Office to publish a schedule of expected publication dates for major recurring reports on the Office's public website. This schedule must be published by December 31 of each calendar year. At a minimum, the schedule must include dates for the budget year baseline, updates, deficit reduction options, accuracy of budgetary projections, and unauthorized appropriations reports. The Director is also permitted to update this schedule as necessary during the following calendar year.
